 note = {Why and how does a risk, once accepted, raise a political problem in a way that affects the consequence of a policy? To answer these questions, this article focuses on the interactive change of political context and risk perception. A changing political context may develop a gap in risk perception among actors and vice versa. This gap distorts the initial consensus on risk acceptance, affecting the consequence of policy; here, this process is referred to as the politicization of risk. Applying this perspective, this article examines the process in which the A-12 aircraft acquisition program of the U.S. Navy was adopted as policy but eventually terminated due to technical and political mismanagement of risk. The analysis indicates that risk propensity is influenced not only by personality and political institutions as some scholars point out, but is also changed by an interaction between political context and actors’ perception. In the case of the A-12 program, a perception gap between the executive and legislative branches caused a politicization of risk and consolidated a risk-averse context, which led to the termination of the program.  政治過程において一旦受け入れられたリスクは、なぜ、いかにして政治的問題を提起し、政策の帰結に影響を与えるようになるのか。本稿ではこの問題を、アクターのリスク認識と政治的コンテクストが相互作用的に変化する過程に着目することで明らかにしていく。この過程において生じる認識ギャップは、リスク受容について当初形成されたコンセンサスを歪める。その結果、一旦は潜在化したリスクをめぐる政治論争が再燃し、政策そのものにも変更を迫ることになる（本稿ではこれを、リスクの「政治化」と呼ぶ）。本稿ではこのような観点から、米国海軍のA-12艦載攻撃機開発プログラムの事例を分析し、リスクをめぐる行政府、立法府間の認識ギャップがリスク問題の再検討を促した結果、リスクを嫌忌する政治的コンテクストが強化され、高い軍事的要請にもかかわらずプログラムが中止されるに至った経緯を明らかにしている。},
