| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examines historically how peacekeeping operations (PKO) were formed from the Hosokawa administration to the Murayama administration (August 1993 to January 1996). In particular, it focuses on the domestic political process centered on trial and error at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA). The study analyzes not only the awareness and actions of the MOFA, but also the related policy coordination process which included the Prime Minister's Office, other ministries, and the ruling and opposition parties. This analysis brings to light the reality of PKO dispatches during the period. Through these efforts, this research reveals that the prototype of Japan’s modern-day policy was created during an era when coalition governments were led by prime ministers with little diplomatic experience.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
長らく日本のPKO参加は、連立政権下で形作られてきた。その起点は、本研究が扱う五五年体制崩壊直後の時代に求められる。ところが、非自民連立政権期、続く自社さ連立政権期のPKO政策をめぐる研究は、史料上の制約も相俟って、遅々として進んでいない。本研究は、当該期のPKO参加をめぐる政策決定過程を解明することで、既存の研究が残した間隙を埋める役割を果たした。すなわち、現在に通ずる歴史的な原型を扱う本研究は、史実に基づく政策論議を重ねるための知的基盤として位置づけられるものである。
