地方自治体における代表制論 : 地方議会選挙の理論と現実(抱喜久雄教授追悼号)

抄録

This paper will focus on the role of the local assembly in Japan. Currently, there are arguments of dual representative system which consists of elected heads of local government. This system ensures a separation of powers between the assembly and governor in the local government. Over the past a few years, there has been friction between the two heads due to conflict of opinions. Therein, suggestions have been made to reconsider an alternative to the dual representative system. This research examines the role of local assembly, from the perspective of a representative view.
