Abstract
In South Korea, it is said that the flood of bills by the members of parliament, the degradation in the quality of legislation, and the contents of bills are of serious concern. The United States Constitution, the French Constitution, and the German Constitution have been the main sources studied in Japanese constitutional studies after the current Japanese Constitution was promulgated in 1946. Nowadays, comparative approaches and studies of the constitutions of neighbors and allies, such as Korea and other Asian countries, are being undertaken in Japan.
In this paper, I will first describe the basic framework of the governmental structure for law-making power under the Japanese parliamentary system. Second, I will analyze the Japanese perspective of re-regulation through a brief comparison between the Japanese and Korean governmental systems. Third, I will complete an overview of economic regulation and the Cabinet in Japan.
