| Outline of Research at the Start |
受入研究者は、これまで近代化に伴う価値観変容をテーマに比較分析を行ってきた。Bolzonar氏が提案する研究プロジェクト「価値観の変容と道徳政治の展開に関する欧州と日本の比較分析」は、妊娠中絶、不妊治療、同性婚の3つの道徳観に関するテーマに焦点を絞り、人々の価値規範や法制度の整備の展開を比較するものであり、人々の価値観と政策形成の連関に光を当てた意義深い試みである。歴史的な発展経路や文化的な土壌が異なる欧州諸国と日本の比較は、異質な事例の比較から共通のパターンを抽出する研究設計に基づいており、多様な近代化の経路から新たな価値観や道徳政治の展開の共通枠組を抽出することを狙いとしている。

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The research activities conducted so far consisted of reading the most recent publications on the three morality issues investigated by the project (e.g. same-sex marriage, abortion, and assisted reproductive technologies), with specific attention to the Japanese scholarship, and collecting material. However, I focused on same-sex marriage as this question has received much attention from the Japanese public opinion, scholarly community, and international press. I collected policy papers, studied court rulings, attended public debates about same-sex marriage, and interviewed over 15 LGBTQ activists, lawyers involved in same-sex marriage litigations, and Japanese national lawmakers and local administrators. I started to write two working papers that would be completed in the next three months.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
The current status of the research is a little bit behind the planned schedule, even though we have made quick progress in the last three months that allowed recovering the delay. This delay was justified by the involvement in several research projects Dr. Bolzonaro was conducting before coming to Japan. In consideration of the fact that the arrival date was unsure due to the COVID 19 border restrictions forced him to postpone the arrival several times, he engaged in other research activities. Therefore, in the early months in Japan he had to spend some time to finish the previous research activities.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the following months, Dr. Bolzonaro is conducting at least 10 other interviews that he has already scheduled besides other interviews that he is arranging. Then, he will continue to analyse the collected material. As research outputs, he has started to write a comparative research paper about same-sex legal litigations with a Waseda Law professor and we are discussing writing an article about the politics of same-sex marriage. The preliminary results of the studies will be presented at three international conferences: ISSR biannual conference in Taipei, the ASA annual conference in Philadelphia, and the ECPR annual conference in Prague.
