| Research Abstract |
The research project I have carried out hasn't been accomplished yet. The objetive of the research was on the relationship in action in history between political party and bureaucracy in modern Japan. The facts I found were the political party had a considarable attention to the bureaucracy but bureaucrats didn't join the political party to the end of meiji era. However in Taisho era the organization of Rikken-Doshikai, to which several bureaucrats were invited, has stimulated Rikken-Seiyukai to follow the same inviting them. The political party got much information from the bureaucrats for planning the policies, including member's bill, however the bureaucrats had prepared neither minister's reply nor represntative's question as we see today.
The only parts I completed in this project was "Election Law Revisions during the 2nd Yamagata Government and the Organization of Ito Hirobumi's New Political Party″Shigaku=Zasshi, vol.CVIII, No.11. In this article, I made it clear that the election law revisions(1900) fascilitated the establishment of Rikken-Seiyukai in regard with the new system of cooporatain between Seiyukai and bureaucreay. Against the widely spread and accepted view, Ito Hirobumi enforced Yamagata to realize the election law revisions as a premise for the new movement to organize his own "National Party" Ito was going to organize the National Party consisting of representatives elected from the commons based on their constituency. This constituency was renewed in a form of unsigned ballot with sinlgle entry. According to Ito's political aim, his own National Party would be able to share the purpose to attain the national interests by cooperating with bureaucracy.
