À propos de を巡って

One of the more indirect ways that 'to be concerning (A)' is conveyed in Japanese is through the pairing of a noun with the case marking particle を and the う-Verb 巡(めぐ)る 'to go around' in either its て-form, or standard form when paired with a second noun.

This grammar point can be translated as 'concerning (A)', 'in regard to (A)', or 'about (A)'. However, following the most natural translation, we can see that 'to go around the topic of (A)', or 'encompassing (A)' are also acceptable.

Caution

In addition to being quite formal, を巡(めぐ)って keeps the 'around the topic of (A)' nuance that comes from the stem verb. This means that rather than expressing one opinion, it takes into consideration many different viewpoints, and is frequently used when there is a disagreement or dispute about (A).

Because of this, it can sound quite unnatural to use を巡(めぐ)って if the topic of (A) is simply a personal opinion.

        I have some sentences with めぐって followed by の〇〇。

        For example:
        警備の仕方を巡っての見解の相違が問題になっている。

        I understand it that 巡って should modify 見解, but why is the て Form used here instead of the 連体形?

        It is grammatically correct, just has a different nuance. The に particle in について implies that what comes before it is the whole topic of conversation, while を in をめぐって implies that the conversation revolves around it, but different ideas etc are being brought up.

        Many て form structures can also be seen as ての. The difference is that 連体形 links it explicitly to the following noun, while ての focuses more on how it is acting in relation to what comes before it.

        For example -

        仕方を巡っての見解
        A method related opinion.

        仕方を巡る見解
        An opinion that relates to methods.
