About this book
This volume is a study of the emergence and consequences of computerized voting advice applications (VAAs) in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. In contrast to the European experience of VAAs simplifying vote choices, this research shows that VAAs in East Asia may increase their complexity.

“This book acts as a solid starting point for refining VAAs in Asia. … for those of us who study political opinions and how they are formed, understanding and evaluating the effects of VAAs will become important area of study. This ambitious, cross-cultural book provides a solid platform on which to build future studies and attempts to improve VAAs in East Asia.” (Sung Kyum Cho, Asian Journal for Public Opinion Research, Vol. 3 (2), February, 2016)
"This volume offers a pioneering collection of research on the recent experience with voting advice applications in East Asia. Written by some of the leading experts and practitioners in this area, this book's important comparative insights make it a must-read for any scholar interested in modern campaign technology, information, and voting." Alexander H. Trechsel, Head of Department, Political and Social Sciences, European University Institute, Italy
'Much still needs to be learned about the consequences and implications of new digital communications technology and computerized voting advice applications on citizen politics of modern democracies. This volume is a timely contribution to this effort and enterprise. This book promises to be a good reference for scholars and students not only of East Asian politics but also of citizen politics more generally.' Alex Tan, Professor in Political Science, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
