When this book was originally published in 1974, the Japanese Parliament, or Diet, tended to be perceived from one of two divergent perspectives. On the one hand, it was made to appear as an institution operating according to parliamentary norms; on the other, it was denigrated as being a setting for periodic scenes of violence. This study aimed to provide a less stereotyped assessment.
