ラオス人民革命党の体制持続メカニズム -- 国会と選挙を通じた国民の包摂過程

近年の比較政治学では，議会，選挙，政党等の民主制度が権威主義体制の持続にどのような役割を果たしているのか，そのメカニズムの解明に関心が集まっている。権威主義体制下の民主制度は単なる飾りではなく，体制存続のための道具として機能しているのである。しかし先行研究の多くが，「複数政党制」や「競争」を前提としてきたため，閉鎖的権威主義である一党独裁体制はほとんど分析対象となってこなかった。本稿は一党独裁体制であるラオスを事例に，明示的／潜在的脅威がほとんど存在しないラオスにおいても，支配政党が国会と選挙を体制維持の一手段として活用していることを明らかするものである。人民革命党は国家や社会への強固な管理体制を確立しながらも，2000年代以降の経済・社会問題の多様化にともなって，国民の政治参加を拡大し，国民の声を国会に反映させることで支持獲得を図ってきた。そして党は国会がそのような機能を果たせるよう，選挙を戦略的に活用している。このような国会と選挙の連関は，過去５回の国会議員選挙を分析することで裏付けられる。党は国会の位置づけの変化にともない候補者の属性を変化させ，「ほぼ」意図通りの国会を形成しているのである。国会と選挙が体制維持に果たす役割は，これまでの権威主義体制研究が示してきた知見とは異なっているが，一党独裁体制でも「名目的民主制度」が体制維持にとって重要な役割を果たしていることには違いないのである。

Control Structures for Stabilizing Degrading Stream Channels Pottawattamie County, HR-236, 1987

Stream degradation due to steep stream gradients and large deposits of loess soil is a serious problem in western Iowa. One solution to this problem is to construct grade stabilization structures at critical points along the length of the stream. Iowa Highway Research Board project HR-236, "Pottawattamie County Evaluation of Control Structures for Stabilizing Degrading Stream Channels", was initiated in order to study the effectiveness of such structures in preventing stream degradation. This report describes the construction and 4-year performance of a gabion drop structure constructed along Keg Creek during the winter of 1982-83.

Low Cost Techniques of Base Stabilization, HR-312, 1994

This project was initiated in 1988 to study the effectiveness of four different construction techniques for establishing a stable base on a granular surfaced roadway. After base stabilization, the roadway was then seal coated, eliminating dust problems associated with granular surfaced roads. When monies become available, the roadway can be surfaced with a more permanent structure. A 2.8 mi (4.5 km) section of the Horseshoe Road in Dubuque County was divided into four divisions for this study. This report discusses the procedures used during construction of these different divisions. Problems and possible solutions have been analyzed to better understand the capabilities of the materials and construction techniques used on the project. The project had the following results: High structural ratings and soil K factors for the BIO CAT and Consolid bases did not translate to good roadway performance; the macadam base had the best overall performance; the tensar fabric had no noticeable effect on the macadam base; and the HFE-300 performed acceptably.
