德仓Kanji，田口明，中山洋平在2002-2003年间进行了基督教民主党与西欧政党制度的联合研究项目。野田正吾于2003年加入。我们最初的研究项目计划是交换每个成员的研究成果。在此期间，我们已经召开了4次阅读研究论文的会议。德仓Kanji发表文章《论欧洲基督教民主国家》，载《关西大学法律评论》第53卷第1期。田口明（Akira Taguchi）研究了奥地利基督教民主党。特别是对二战后脱离教会成为民主政党的奥地利民族党进行了深入的研究。中山洋平对法国基督教党（MRP）进行了深入的研究。他的结论是，由于1950年在选举中的失败，MRP未能吸引年轻优秀和有抱负的人。他还得出结论，青年运动在MRP徘徊，直到第四共和国结束，因为MRP没有成功地获得强有力的领导人作为领导人的行动天主教在两次世界大战之间的时期。野田Shogo在上世纪50年代研究过德国的基民盟/基社盟。他还积极研究了当前被迫适应社会经济变化和国际形势变化的基民盟/基社盟。他在日本比较政治学会学术会议上宣读了题为《2003年德国大选中的基民盟/基社盟》的论文。他的结论是，基民盟/基社盟成功地与社民党并肩作战，但未能成功夺取政权。并以基督教民主党为例，总结了保守主义复苏的背景和局限性。
