| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Conventional governance perspective is formalized, static and restricted to organizational processes and networks, the decision-making in which is based on either libertarian individuals or authoritarian society. In Japanese context, however, as represented by terms like 'seken' and 'kuuki', people often never make a clear decision on but rather deal with an event in a tacit, ad hoc and peer-pressured manner. The event ranges from life-threating to daily. Here, this study proposes a novel concept and theoretical framework of 'loose governance' by challenging the conventional governance perspective. In the sense that the looseness allows uncertainty, ambiguity and loopholes in governance, the concept of loose governance resonates with the recent STS discourse on governance referred to as being anticipatory and mundane, but less with adaptive, reflexive and responsive. The study also sheds light on the methodology to understand dissociation and conflict between public and private selves.
