Outline of Final Research Achievements

Following a comparative constitutional law approach, in this research I have assessed the constitutional range the institution of naturalization, a topic which had been neglected by most constitutional law scholars in Japan. By departing from the traditional perspective that naturalization is a matter to be completely decided upon on a legislative level, I postulated that the naturalization is an constitutional institution which core content cannot be encroached upon by the lawmaker.
On the other hand, I have succeeded in putting forward a new interpretation on the right to abandon one's nationality (Article 22.2 of the Constitution) as one granting those permanent foreign residents who have developed strong bonds with the Japanese nation a right to have access to Japanese nationality. As a result, I have showed to what extent legislative and administrative discretion are limited on deciding how to implement naturalization and how to conduct naturalization issues respectively.
