Hokkaido faces challenges to the effective implementation of its healthcare infrastructure because of demographic factors such as negative population growth and an aging population, and economic factors, including financial difficulties faced by local governments. Regional healthcare networks have been built to overcome these problems and streamline healthcare delivery. However, the number of registered patients is only 1% of the total population. This study investigated the factors that cause the stagnation of the number of registered patients in the regional healthcare networks in Hokkaido. Our survey identified 46 networks in 21 medical regions. The average ratio of registered patients in Hokkaido was 4.1%, regional healthcare networks in the Sapporo area were dysfunctional. We estimated the factors influencing the ratio. The ratio of networked medical institutions in the region and the dummy variable for their business size were statistically significant for Hokkaido and for the secondary medical areas, excluding the Sapporo medical area. It follows that the number of registered patients in a network could be determined by the ratio of connected medical institutions and the size of their business. The problems could be overcome by exploiting the economy of scale in the networks. Establishing a prefecture-wide network would increase the number of registered patients and lower the overall cost of the networks.

In the study of the social security law the process of social service provision under the contract-based system has not been analyzed legally so far apart from the allocation system. This paper analyzes it and discovers ideal systems and rights by extracting relationship between social work, service and benefit, and administrative decision. The standard process of social work consists of 1) intake, 2) assessment, 3) contract, 4) planning, 5) implementation of plans, 6) monitoring and evaluation due to social welfare studies. This paper uses this framework and extracts the stage which has not been clearly indicated in the legislation, particularly social work. It is important to discuss the ideal systems and rights of social work which is wider than the mere planning and different from the service provision.

There are large regional differences in the total fertility rate. In this paper, we analyzed the factors of regional differences in the total fertility rate for municipalities in Hokkaido. As a result, it was found that the municipalities are characterized by the factors of marriage and the fertility of the couple. Understanding the characteristics of municipalities through such analysis will promote measures against the declining birthrate and policy formation for regional revitalization. It is necessary to improve the system and environment for that purpose.

The entrance examination system in Japanese private university in the stage of elite higher education was based on 1) national curriculum that pursued completion of high general education at high school, 2) examinations imposing many subjects, and 3) low enrolment ratio with relative shortage of quota for students who accessed to universities. While the former two conditions were lost from the late-1970s to the beginning of 1990s, and the last condition was lost from 1992 on, the entrance examination system and the selection system for enrolment has deteriorated. This article gives a historical review of deteriorating process in the entrance examination system in Japanese private university.

This paper is one of the first and most comprehensive studies to investigate the meaning of the Abe II administration’s ‘Local Revitalization Policy’ and to review local governments’ reactions in Hokkaido. Based on our survey of all the local governments in Hokkaido during October and November 2016, this paper concludes that the policy has provided a chance for farsighted governments, especially for those experiencing a sharp decline in young people, to realise the emerging problems of a shrinking society and to work on a solution. However, the policy has also been so sudden and almost arbitrary that the local governments’ respective conventional systems were forced to work hard applying for unwieldy grants and following the detailed directions given by the central government. The results of our survey imply that the Central and local governments in Japan share discretion. The Central government maintains discretion in deciding nationwide policies and provides administrative guidance to the respective local governments, whether big or small and rich or poor, allowing them to formulate policies suitable to their own requirements. This is done while maintaining the Central government’s overall policy design through the use of informational, budgetary, and regulatory tools.

After the Meiji era, entering in higher education had been difficult because the people's desires to receive higher education were very high in Japan. The age ended by the falling birthrate at the end of the 1990's, though entrance examination kept constant effects to scholastic improvement in high school education. The inefficient articulation between high school and university has emerged. This paper points out major features concerning educational articulation between high school and higher education in historical perspective.

This article discusses the chronological development of EU's energy security policy and its problems. Because energy security is primarily a responsibility of national governments, the European Union (European Commission in particular) was not able to formulate unified energy policy. But at the same time, due to the lack of natural energy resources, EU member states needed to cooperate in order to increase bargaining power against energy rich regions such as Middle East or Russia. The problem of international negotiation became clear when Russia and Ukraine increased the political tension, and in order to secure supply of natural gas from Russia, EU launched the discussion with Green Paper which resulted the first comprehensive energy policy in 2007. Furthermore, the "Energy 2020", a new policy document suggested the necessity for EU to influence the process of rules- and standard-making to secure the free trade environment for energy resources. However, the division of competence between member states and EU still make it difficult to formulate comprehensive energy policy. Furthermore, dynamic change of international environment such as "Arab Spring" and Russo-Ukraine conflict, and different reactions and interests of member states complicated the EU strategy for energy rich regions. This structural contradiction of EU's energy security policy implies that EU may not be hegemonic power in international arena, but their role as a giant consumer of energy would have a power to shape international energy market.

In Japan, five hospital PFI projects have already started, but these two projects has been canceled PFI contract. The factors in these canceled cases is that, the management plan for hospital project was incomplete, understanding to PFI was not enough, public sector and private sector partnership was insufficient, it wasn't the framework to have effective function for PFI project.
