In political science, nonpartisanism is a lack of affiliation with a political party.〔The ''Merriam-Webster's'' dictionary defines ''nonpartisan'' as: Not partisan; free from party affiliation, bias, or designation. (【引用サイトリンク】 title=Webster: Nonpartisan )〕 Some organizations claiming to be nonpartisan are truly such; others, particularly in the U.S., are nominally nonpartisan (for reasons of law or public perception) but closely follow the policies of a political party. While the dictionary definition of ''partisan'' includes adherents of a party, cause, person, etc.,〔Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd. ed, partisan〕 in many cases nonpartisan refers specifically to political party connections rather than being the strict antonym of "partisan", and an organization described as nonpartisan can have many decidedly controversial policies. ==United States== (詳細はmunicipal and county offices, especially school board, and are also common in the election of judges. The unicameral Nebraska State Legislature is the only state legislature that is entirely officially nonpartisan. Although elections may be officially nonpartisan, in some elections (usually involving larger cities or counties, as well as the Nebraska Unicameral) the party affiliations of candidates are generally known, most commonly by the groups endorsing a particular candidate (e.g., a candidate endorsed by a labor union would be generally affiliated with the Democratic Party, while a candidate endorsed by a business coalition would be generally affiliated with the Republican Party). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nonpartisanism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
