| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Under the change of social structure with the progress of globalization (declining birthrate and aging population, increase of foreign residents) and change of social consciousness (increasing tax burden and sense of unfairness among generations in receiving social security) -The sway of the system of procedural democratic justification has arisen as a common problem in modern democratic states.
While being aware of these background circumstances, the “fluctuation” of the election system in the Federal Republic of Germany, which is causing functional “deficiencies” in various aspects, and the possibility of overcoming it, are discussed in the case law of the Federal Constitutional Court，discussions on revisions in Bundestag, discussions in the media, etc., we focused on the viewpoint of "intergenerational justice" and analyzed it, and used this as a hint to explore the issues of the Japanese election system and election system.

本研究は、ドイツおよび日本を対象として、選挙制度などの民主政の諸制度が抱える現代的課題について憲法規範論の観点から検討をしている。ドイツにおける選挙制度の実体的・制度的な「動揺」をその背景事情も含めて把握することは、現代民主主義国が共通で抱える民主政の「動揺」の構造を明らかにする手掛かりになるし、その克服のための理論構築の端緒を提供することになる。
日本の文脈に即していえば、①日本での選挙制度に関する法理の再検討のヒントとなり、②一連の議員定数不均衡訴訟や並立制違憲訴訟などで示された最高裁の判断と、これに対する立法府の対応についての動態的な分析の際にも必要な視座を提供している。
