Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日本では1947年の地方自治法で地方自治体における解職請求が認められて以降、2018年までに、1500件を超える解職請求(議会の解散、議員の解職、首長の解職)が試みられており、うちリコール投票は約450件に上る。この件数は諸外国と比較しても決して少なくない。ところが、政治学・行政学の分野でリコールに関する学術研究は非常に少ない。さらに、諸外国におけるリコール制度と日本のリコール制度と比較した研究はほとんどない。そこで、本研究では、これまであまり取り組まれてこなかったリコールについてその政治的機能や政策への影響について日本と欧米諸国を比較しながら考察し、これまでの研究の空白を埋めた。
