| Research Abstract |
I published a book "State's Tort Liability and Conceptual History of Public Power" (2013) and made a presentation, "Modern States, Citizenship, and the Nation: Historical Development of the State Redress System in Japan" at 2013 International Meeting of Law and Society Association in Boston (on May 31. 2013).
It seems to me that legal concepts especially in East Asian Law have various origins and therefore they are not always consistent. For example the concept of "administrative action (gyousei-shobun)" in Japan, which is the almost same concept of "exercise of public power", has two origins: "acte administratif" from France and "Verwaltungsakt" from Germany. Today two origins of this concept bring various contradictions to Japanese administrative law. We need to analyze carefully this kind of patchwork legal system.
