Outline:
When you look at the results of elections in Japan nowadays, it seems as if there is no longer any seat for the Social Democracy parties as receptacle for will of Japanese citizens. On the other hand when you look at Social Democracy parties in European countries, they are still getting constant support from citizens. In this book, I compared Labour Party (UK), Social Democratic Party of German, and Social Democratic Party of Japan focusing on party organizations as systems and disclose the factors of their turning points.
