About にかかわる
When grouped with に, the う-Verb 関わる 'to be concerned with' is frequently used to show a relation between (A) and (B). This grammar pattern may be translated as 'relating to (A), (B)', 'concerning (A), (B)', or '(B) that has to do with (A)'.
This structure appears after nouns, and is occasionally followed directly to a second noun in order to modify its meaning. Also, it is most common to see this pattern in its non-kanji form.
This grammar pattern may also highlight that (A) is something that the speaker should be cautious about, due to a potential negative outcome.
Caution
Despite being similar to に関する, にかかわる implies a deeper, more important relationship between (A) and (B), so they are not completely interchangeable.
