広域ガバナンスにおける政策過程  [in Japanese] The Policy Process of Integrated Governance over Several Local Governments  [in Japanese]

In this article, I attempt an analysis of the results of public policy by integrated governance over several local governments involving citizen participation in the case of the Yodo River Improvement Project. The conclusion of this article is that a difference between the governance jurisdiction and the unit of democracy will be result in: 1) citizen participation in policy making process will not always be able to make public policy suitable to the residents' preference and, 2) any governor will be able to realize their purpose as a veto player in integrated governance over several local governments.
