摂津訴訟の地方財政への波及メカニズム

抄録

This paper presents why and how the Settsu lawsuit helped to expand local subsidies in the 1970s. The Settsu lawsuit was the first case in which a municipality sued the central government. The lawsuit clarified that there was a large gap between legal regulations and actual operations of the government concerning welfare policy. This gap had led to the possibility of a change in regime. To avoid such a regime change, the government worked on this problem, resulting in an increase in subsidies. This was a mechanism that had expanded the subsidies in the 70s.
