RESEARCH

Project related research

My research interests regarding the PTW project lie in the processes of the decision and policy making in Japanese society. In my perception the exotic images about Japan are attributed to some exceedingly “Japanese” manners melting into the Western-based institutions which have been accurately translated, however, selectively adopted (freedom, right, democracy, etc.). The democracy in Japan is characterized with the highly centralized system of the authority rooted from the traditional family system under the influence of Confucianism as well as with a lack of intermediate organizations between the citizens and state. In this respect the institutionalization of the animal protection in Japan which is a new and rapid development might indicate a potential combination of the top-down policy making with the civil society. I trace the movement and processes to the enactment and the last amendments of the Act on Welfare and Management of Animals and investigate both domestic actors and international interest group in interaction.

Other research interests

My research interests lie in the dispute settlement mechanisms within the legal system at large in Japan and in the social management from a legal perspective. My previous works focus on criminal matters. Since the LL.M. studies in Marburg I have been mainly investigating Victim-Offender-Mediation and Restitution in criminal law from a comparative view in Japan, German and Europe (the PhD dissertation). The restorative approach to criminal justice entails the shift from the powerful social control by the authority to the autonomic problem solving as well as the big society. Here I am interested in the redefinition of the relations between individuals, society and state in Japan.
