Research Abstract |
Japan's local governments, especially municipalities as basic local government units, have to fill an increasing number of roles as a result of the decentralization reform which has taken place over recent years. That being so, how have residents' opinions influenced local government, and what kind of functions does local parliament now have? This study considered such a mechanism in local government through a comparison of dual representative systems in Japan, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Germany and Switzerland. The findings of this study suggest that local parliament functioned as a representative organ of residents in each country.
