| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Parliamentary systems create strong political power, by giving both parliamentary and executive power to certain political party(ies). The justification for creating such strong power is the assumption that political elites, who exercise the power, receive trust by the people. Thus, parties, parliament = lower house, and the executive were where observers focused when studying parliamentary systems. However, recently other institutions were attracting attention in both Japan and the UK. They included the upper houses, the devolved bodies (such as the Scottish parliament), and the judiciaries. This research was conducted with a focus on the relationships between the parliamentary systems with such institutions in both countries. This research argued that these institutions were there to control the political power created by the parliamentary system, and that the fundamental idea behind them was distrust against power. Madisonian systems / reforms were the key concept for this project.
