Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examined the establishment and functioning of the Imperial Rule Assistance Association’s Cooperation Council (CC), analyzed the expression and consideration of public opinion in Fascist Japan, and discussed the characteristics of Japanese Fascism. The results of the research were as follows: The CC functioned as an intermediary between public opinion and government decision-making. Thus, we infer that in Fascist Japan different people were able to express their opinions, and public opinion were reflected in politics to a certain degree. Japanese Fascism permitted and gave weight to the expression and consideration of public opinion.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は大政翼賛会協力会議の意義・役割の再評価に意義を有する。先行研究は、協力会議が形骸化された、あるいは下情上通が機能しなかったと結論づけている。それに対し、本研究は協力会議が一定の程度で下情上通の機能を発揮したことを実証した。本研究の成果をふまえ、先行研究の論点は再考・修正されるべきである。 また本研究は、翼賛体制の研究の深化に貢献する。具体的には、本研究はこれまで十分に注目されていない翼賛体制における民意の表出と反映の状況を分析した上で、政治と民意の関係という視点から、翼賛体制の性質について新しい論点を提示した。本研究の成果を以て、翼賛体制の研究を深化できる。
