Outline of Final Research Achievements

With a grant of the Japan Foundation and the Kakenhi, Ritsumeikan and the Griffith University, in Australia, held a Conference in December 2015, and also A colleague and I published the Japanese translated book of R.A.W. Rhodes et al Comparing Westminster (Oxford University Press, 2009). The book was written about the Westminster traditions by the interpretive approach R.A.W. Rhodes and Mark Bevier have elaborated recently. I presented my paper at the Conference of the Australian Political Science Association which was held in Melbourne in September 2017. The author is going to explore the political and constitutional history, in particular the relationship between the parliamentary government and the dissolution power to the legislature by the interpretive approach.
