Since 1999, a research team consisted of Japanese university students and their instructors has visited Waimea District on Kauai Island of Hawaii every summer in order to record the life history of nikhei niseis (second generation of Japanese-Americans). This life history project was started in order to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the Waimea Higashi Hongwanji Temple. Many nikkei niseis including the temple members were interviewed. The childhood days in the camp of the interviewees, their school life, parents, the war days, work, marriage, birth of their children, and retirement life were all recorded orally. Up to the, present more than fifty nikkei niseis have been interviewed and their oral histories were recorded. Through the research project, the three significant points necessary to discuss could be clarified in terms of the life history interview. The three points are caused by the three factors as follows: 1) characteristics of the social stratum of the local community, 2) language used for the interviews (Japanese students interviewed with Japanese), and 3) sublimation of the oral histories by the interviewees. This paper argues these factors through introducing the operating process of the research project.

The Amami lawsuit for "the rights of nature" was filed in 1995 at Kagoshima District Court. Since Amami's black rabbit population and other 3 birds' species were named as co-plaintiffs together with humanbeings, the case was so well-publicized that the notion of rights of nature has come to attract a wide range of public attention. In societies where the proposition that nature should have its own rights is often seriously advocated, co-existence between humanbeings and nature is more vigorously sought for the sake of nature. Although the part of complaint in which the animals' species are designated as co-plaintiffs was ordered to delete and the case itself was dismissed for the lack of standing, the court decision implied the defect of the modern civil law's dichotomy that only humanbeings were allowed to enjoy the status of right-holders. Also the court shared the view that such a legal system as enabled those who were acquainted with the nature and motivated for its protection to file a lawsuit for the environment need to be contemplated given the seriousness of environmental destruction in this century. This article points out the court decision's significance together with its limitations as well. First, the case's factual settings are introduced and analyzed. Secondly, the plaintiff's assertions are examined according to the decision's summary of assertions in contrast with the complaint and other legal briefs submitted. Then the court' judgement are explained and commented with the emphasis on environmental standing issues. Finally, this article raises the queries with regard to the right of nature and pinpoints the unsolved legal issues that the decision left for us as a homework.

The purpose of this paper is to review recent literatures on Non-Keynesian effects pioneered by Giavazzi and Pagano (1990), and discuss the current situation on domestic studies in this area. The results are: (1) Perotti (1999) and Hjelm (2002) are superior to the others since only these two studies have theoretical foundations for estimation functions, (2) we have only two domestic studies in this field, Nakazato (2002) and Takeda, Komaki and Yajima (2005), and both of them applied Perotti (1999)'s frameworks, (3) therefore, we should analyze this topic with Hjelm (2002)'s frameworks as well.
