Establishment of Environmental Policy History and Environmental Policy History of Packaging Waste Management in Germany and Japan

这项研究是对这一新兴领域的介绍。首先，追溯了环境政策史研究的各种潮流，并论证了环境政策史作为学术研究领域发展的必要性的原因。其次，环境政策历史观被证明是塑造环境政策未来的有用工具，因为它提供了对影响过去环境政策的现实的仔细检查，并阐明了环境政策随着时间的推移而发生的变化。其次，考虑到环境政策史研究有可能成为与环境政策研究相关的迅速崛起但日益分散的分支学科之间的中介，如环境经济学、环境政治学、环境法和环境社会学。此外，日本环境政策史领域的一个目的是重新发现被称为“污染”研究的工作主体，并鼓励其进一步发展。此外，本研究还阐述了德国和日本包装废物政策的发展和确立。

This research serves as an introduction to this newly emerging area. First, the various currents of historical research on environmental policy are traced and the reasons why the development of environmental policy history as an area of academic inquiry is so necessary are substantiated. Second, the environmental policy history perspective is shown to be a useful tool for shaping the future of environmental policy because it provides a close examination of the realities influencing the environmental policy of the past, and it illuminates the transformation of environmental policy over time. Next, consideration is given to the potential for environmental policy history studies to serve as an intermediary between the rapidly emerging, yet increasingly fragmented, subdisciplines related to environmental policy studies, such as environmental economics, environmental politics, environmental law, and environmental sociology. In addition, the point is made that one aim of the field of environmental policy history in Japan is to rediscover the body of work known as "kogai" (pollution) research and encourage its further development.Also, this study elucidates the development and establishment of the packaging waste policy of Germany and Japan.
