Outline of Final Research Achievements

The research found the relationship among four collective action lawsuits against governments in Kyushu area: Minamata disease, Kawabe river dam, Hansen’s disease, and Ariake Sea project trials.There are common factors among these cases. This research also found that citizens’ judicial actions could activate the court’s function, and that some collective action lawsuits played a critical role in the Japanese policy-making process in the last few decades: pollutions, drug-induced sufferings etc. Presence of judicial process and court rulings increased political and social life, and contributed to resolve the state-society conflicts in Japan.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

国家と社会における紛争の解決を求めて裁判所に提起されている集団訴訟は戦後の日本において少なくない。本研究は、従来の政治学の対象として注目されてこなかった戦後日本で提起された過去の集団行為を分析の対象としているが、そこから導き出される集合行為の知見は、過去の現象を説明するのに役立つだけではなく、同じ政治体制下において現在起きている、さらには近い将来起こりうる集合行為の不確実性を可視化させ、予見可能性を高めることに寄与しうるものである。
