Reischauer-Keio Joint Research Project: The "Constitution" of Postwar Japan
Security
Summary
The project will focus on the fundamental structure of post-war Japan and of its future not just in the light of constitutional law or constitutional amendment but from other fields of interests such as history, political science, religious studies, and sociology. A variety of scholars and experts from US and Asian countries will participate in this project. The original meaning of "constitution" is broader one than we usually think, that is, "the fundamental structure of state or society." This joint research project is an important part of collaborative works between KGRI, Keio University and the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies, Harvard University which has long been leading the constitutional revision of Japan.
