Coming into Power of Green parties and Change of Environmental policies in Contemporary Europe

通过研讨会和实地考察，项目成员对绿色政党的参与和环境政治进行了深入的学术研究。第一年举办了三次国内讲习班，第二年举办了两次。该项目还邀请了两名外部客座演讲人进行进一步研究。在国外的实地调查方面，全体成员在第一年就绿色政党参政问题在德国、法国、瑞典、丹麦等地进行了实地调查。第二年，除丸山外的成员再次访问了这些地区，并对环境政策的实现进行了研究。研究的结果被收集在研究项目的报告中。在这本书中，丸山仁通过关注一个关键词“可持续性”来研究环境政治。小野一通过对德国绿色党参与政府的分析，分析了政策在德国的实现情况。Hatayama Toshio询问政治实现的状态，集中在地方饮食，这是放置在法国绿色党的“现实主义”方向的延伸。渡边博明专门研究了瑞典环境政党与社会民主党之间的关系，对政策实现的经验进行了研究。清水康介分析了政策实现和欧洲绿色政党联盟。正如这些研究报告所表明的那样，本项目成功地向日本观众介绍了绿色政党参与欧洲政府的各种经验，并获得了绿色政党所发挥的独特作用的知识和信息。

Through workshops and field researches, the project members conducted thorough academic researches on the participation of green parties and environmental politics. Domestic workshops were held three times in the first year, and two times in the second. The project also invited two external guest speakers for additional research. In terms of field researches abroad, all the members conducted it in such areas as Germany, France, Sweden, and Denmark in the first year on the issue of participation of green parties in the government. In the following year, the members except for Maruyama re-visited the areas and researched the realization of environmental policies. The results of the researches are collected in the report of the research project. In it, Hitoshi Maruyama investigated environmental politics by focusing upon a keyword, "sustainability". Hajime Ono analyzed the policy realization in Germany through an analysis of the participation of the German Green Party in the government. Toshio Hatayama inquired the state of political realization by concentrating on local diets which were placed on the extension of the French Green Party's "realist" orientation. Hiroaki Watanabe researched on the experience of policy realization by putting an exclusive focus on the relationship between environmental political parties and the Social Democratic Party of Sweden. Kosuke Shimizu analyzed policy realization and the federation of European green parties. As these research reports represent, this project has succeeded in the introduction of diverse experiences of green parties' participation in governments in Europe to Japanese audience, and obtaining the knowledge and information of the unique roles of the green parties have performed.
