本研究は，日本・中国・韓国の食品安全法制について，各国の研究組織の密接な連携の下，現状分析及び課題の抽出を行い，それぞれの国における食品安全法制について政策提言を行うことを目的とするものである。
上記目的を達成するため，日中韓３か国において，行政法・消費者保護法・刑事法の専門的知見を有する研究者や実務家による研究グループを組織し，３年間にわたり各国の食品安全法制について分析を行うとともに，のべ１２回の国際研究会を開催した。
これらの緊密な研究交流の結果，日中韓における課題の共有がなされ，日本における成果は，『食品安全法制と市民の安全・安心』（第一法規，2019年2月）として刊行されている。

As a prerequisite for the final question of what is the fundamental value of cultural law, we worked on a Japanese-German comparison of cultural law and the 1970s theory of educational and cultural separation. We also interviewed a person in charge of Hyogo Prefecture, which has established a network among cultural administrative organizations. These results will be published in a book of papers.Furthermore, the research project to reconstruct the organization system of administrative law through the study of Japanese cultural law, including this research project, can now be conducted under the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research.

This year, I have been conducting research to link my previousstudies on the analysis of the relationship between legal fields in Germanadministrative law to its impact on Japanese law. With the grant for financialsupport from Waseda University, I have come to the conclusion that my researchmay provide an opportunity to reexamine the significance of the research forindividual areas of Japanese administrative law, which currently receiveslittle attention. I think that my research acquires a new perspective fororganizing and analyzing individual areas of administrative law and giveperspective a problem-finding function with regard to the current legal system.I have reported the result to other researcher of administrative law and haveprepared for summarizing the results in a book.Furthermore, among this year's activities, I have set "therelationship between educational law and cultural law" as a new topic for myresearch. This theme leads to consideration, (a)whether the allocation ofauthority under the cultural law should be in line with that under educationallaw which authority shift between school board and the chief and (b) what thefundamental value of the cultural law that it is not influenced by the educationallaw.
