Research on the Change of Power in the Post War Western Europe

1.政府更迭的政治计划有两个目的。第一个目标是对西欧的权力变化进行实证研究。第二是考虑有关政权更迭的政治理论。为了第一个目的，我们与东京大学的COE合作撰写了题为“先进国家（（政策制度））的发明”的论文。其结果已作为欧洲委员会的专题文件“权力更迭的政治”发表。现在，每一篇论文都被修改了;它将被东京大学出版协会出版为一本书。我们对待的国家是英国，法国，德国，意大利，荷兰，和理论的章节计划。本研究的代表人物高桥进正在进行理论模型的研究，本文将收录在上述著作中。其目的在于提取权力更迭，这种权力更迭可以被称为半政权更迭，存在于政权更迭和权力更迭的中间。分析层次分为三个层次。在第一个层次上，分析了一种政治思潮是如何发生变化的（如从撒切尔主义到第三条道路）。政党制度的重组被视为第二个层次。第三个层面是政策问题，即执政党与在野党之间的政策距离差异对政权更迭的影响。4.另外，《欧洲政治的调整》作为欧洲委员会的临时文件出版，并与欧洲委员会合作举办了关于欧盟的研讨会（2005年9月）和关于这次研讨会的不定期文件：欧盟宪法条约和欧洲项目的未来。

1. The project of politics of the change of governments had two aims. The first aim was to do case studies of the change of power in Western Europe empirically. The second was to consider the political theory concerning the change of power.2. For the first purpose, we made the essay in cooperation with COE of The University of Tokyo: "Invention of ((policy system )) in advanced countries". The result has already been published as Occasional Paper of COE "Politics of the change of power". And now, each thesis is retouched ; it is going to be published as a book by The University of Tokyo publication association. The countries we treat are Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and the chapter of the theory is planned.3. Susumu Takahashi who is the research representative now is researching the theoretical model and this article will be collected in the book mentioned above. This aims the extraction of the change of power that can be called a semi-regime change that exists in the middle of the regime change and the change of power. The analytical level is distinguished to three levels. At the first level, how the changes of a trend of political thought occur (For instance, from the Thatcherism to Third Way) is analyzed. The reorganization of the political party system is treated as the second level. The third level is a problem of the policy, and what influence the difference of the policy distance between ruling and opposition parties gives to the change of power.4.Additionally, "Modulating European politics" was published as Occasional Paper of COE and the symposium concerning EU was held in cooperation with COE (September,2005) and Occasional Paper about this Symposium : The EU Constitutional Treaty and the Future of European Project was published.
