The rise of China and India is the crucial issue in the Asia-Pacific region. Is peaceful rise of China and India possible? How would other Asian states cope with this new situation? This study has challenged to analyze this by bridging the fields of International Politics, Comparative Politics and Asian Studies.Two international symposiums were held: “Emerging New Asian Order? China’s Rise and Power Shift in the Asia-Pacific Region”(June 2015, ICAS9, Australia) and “Globalization and Civil Society in East Asia” (March 2017, Rikkyo U). Based on the latter, a new book will be edited and published in 2018

We have challenged to seek a possibility of the Global Asian Studies by analyzing the following issues: the volatility of nation-states, the linkage of domestic and international politics, the civil-society building and international society and the critique of theories of civil society from Asian perspectives.Two international symposiums were held in collaboration with Japan Association for Asian Studies: "The Role of China" (July 8, 2012) and "Asian Studies beyond Borders: Where do we come from? Where are we going?"(June 15, 2013). Between Civil Society and State: the Agenda for Global Asia will be published as a special issue of Area Studies from Kyoto University in October 2014

This research investigated the European Union, enlarged towards Eastern Europe, and Asian Regionalism, which swiftly developed and is surpassing the developed countries in the first decade of the 21st century, comparing following four points. 1) Institutions and norms, 2) Security, 3) Borders, 4) Immigrants under the Globalization. Investigating the problems and tasks on the EU and Asian Regionalism, researchers analyze the difficulties and make policies for the development on Asian characteristics more concretely.Collaborating with SCJ(Science Council of Japan), Ministry of Foreign Affairs, EU-US and Asian researchers, we analyzed the regional integrations, considered the institutionalization, and the results were published as two Japanese books, (Asian Regionalism under the Global Age, etc), three research brochures, six English proceeding books and 30-40 articles. They were distributed 300 Universities Libraries in the US, Europe, Asia and Japan

This project's main issue is to argue the framework for the East Asian regional history around 1970's, by which we can recognize this region as a region. Official Documents have been researched, while big symposiums were held almost every year, which have been formalized as a shuttle academic conference of East Asia by the contemporary Korean Studies center in Tokyo University, Asiatic Research center in Korea university and the Department of International Relations in Tsinghua University, China.
A set of seven plus 5 volumes of reprinting official documents on Korea- Japan relations in 1960's was published, which was followed by another set of 5 volumes repringting. Through these events 1970's history with governments and civil asociations intertwined came to be argued internationally in East Asian framework with transnational academic networks constructed and appealed to general.

I have published a series of documents related with the normalization between Japan and Korea from the publishing company of GendaiShiryo Shuppan. This series will be continued even after the project ended, following the schedule of the publishing company. Also two of the project members and I edited two volumes of the monograph, entitled 'The normalization between Japan and Korea as a history,' to be soon published by Hosei University Press with assistance of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. Then, in January 2010, I organized a public symposium entitled "Modern Historical Meanings of the Normalization between Japan and Korea," with generous assistance of the Asahi and Toa Ilbo newspaper companies. Its aim was to propagate the accomplishments of our project in the context of contemporary public concerns, including the process of normalization between North Korea and Japan in 2010. Finally, I organized two panels at the annual conventions of academic associations : Japan International Studies' Association in Tsukuba in 2008 and Association for Asian Studies in Chicago in 2009 (together with Korean project members), with an aim to receive feedback from other scholars in the related academic fields

Finally members of the project gathered up the report which covers topics such as nationalism theory in France, contemporary disputes related to nationalism in Korea, China and Japan, minority problem in Islamic society, Nationalist discourses in Modern Japanese thought. These topic were discussed regularly among the members of the project and not only the factual in formations but also the different features of nationalism in terms of region and history inspired each participant's theoretical framework in different areas of study.For carrying out this research following events were organized. : A Seminar which was held for the discussion on Nationalism problems in Taiwan, Indonesia, Russia and Japan on June 2, 2002 and July 2 at Rikkyo University. Matsuda carried out a research at Cambridge University in August and a consequence of this research a paper titled "Bunmmei and Shizen in Meiji Political Thought" was given at the annual conference of the Japanese Political Science Association on October 5. Kim from the Republic of Korea visited Japan for document investigation and study information exchange in October and had a study meeting with other participants of the project. Doak visited Japan in March for research and information exchange. Lee went to the Republic of Korea in March for document research and interviews.The final report will be completed as a booklet and as a HTML file format

The main and general purpose of this project was twofold : first, to analyze the distinction between "Americanization" and "globalization" as a universal socio-economic and cultural phenomenon ; second, to analyze the tension between nationalism and American influence in certain regions and countries. Each participant in this project has conducted research into this general topic and collected pertinent material in hish/her own field.We divided the entire project into four sub-categories : the origins of Americanization ; the characteristics of American hegemony in global political economy : the relations between the formation of global civil society and Americanism ; and the new tasks and possibility of area studies under the global influence of Americanization.After two and half years of individual research on these subjects, we held an international symposium at Sapporo in August 2002 for the purpose of integrating our perspectives and achieving a broader view of the general topic of this project. In making allowances for te sheer scale of the topic, we can hardly say we have exhausted it of reached a definitive answer. Yet we did reach several tentative agreements for further investigation into the phenomena of Americanization and globalization.First, the internationalization of the project of Americanization already started in the 1920s. Therefore the roots of American hegemony in international political economy go back further in world history and American history than is usually thought. Second, although Americanism as a kind of "universal culture" does not always coincide with the global market economy based on liberal capitalism, both trends collaborae closely in fighting against parochial nationalisms and in standardizing the global society. Finally, the sea change occurring in international society requires area studies as an academic field to transform themselves in order to grasp not only national and local affairs but also the meaning of universal influences on them

We carried this project as Japanese counterpart on U.S.-Japanese joint-research project on U.S.-Japan relationship in the post WWII period sponsored by the National Security Archive.Because of shortage of official documents available to researches in the Japanese side, we tried to do interviews as many as possible with former Japanese statesmen and government high-ranking officials. We provided both our members and other interested scholars with opportunities to utilize these interviews.As shown references, our members and other collaborated scholars published a considerable number of fine works by using the interviews and newly declassified documents.Our project was a sort of researches to investigate contemporary U.S.-Japan relations through historical analyzes

This two-year project aims at the historiographical analysis of the U.S.policy toward Asian regionalism in the postwar period. In other words, it attempts to combine the update policy studies on the emerging regionalism in the Asia-Pacific region, such as APEC,with the diplomatic history studies on the Cold War period. Therfore, priority was given to collecting primary source materials, including unpublished U.S.diplomatic papers, U.S.Congress commitee and hearings prints and reports, policy analysis and research reports by thinktanks in the U.S., publicatiions by the regional organizations in the Asia-Pacific region, and diplomatic papers held in the Korean and Japanese National Archives. Recent studies on the Cold War history were also collected systematically. Based on these materials and sources, several hypothetical interpretations of the U.S.policy toward regionalism in the Asia-Pacfic region were attempted. The materials collected show that the U.S.Asian policy has been undergoing a tendential shift toward unilateralism in its approach toward Asia since the early 1970s. Or more accurately, we can find two paradigms of unilateralism and multilateralism competing with each other over Asian policy. Until the 1960s the U.S.pursued vigorously to establish a regional order in East Asia, which shows a clear contrast to the consistent apathy and reluctance since the 1970

The purpose of this project has been to collect in foreign countries basic materials on Japanese diplomacy since the San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1951 through the revision of the US-Japanese security treaty in 1960. Studies of Japan's diplomacy in this period have heavily relied upon the US diplomatic documents at the National Archives in Washington,D.C. These documents are huge in volume and rich in content. Taking into consideration the overwhelming importance of the US to Japan, it was natural that scholars first focused on these documents. However, Japanese diplomacy has to be studied from wider perspective. That is why we formed a team to do reserch in the countries which were close to the US but nonethleless had different viewpoints and interests from US's and in Presidential Libraries rather than National Archives in the US.Our group of 5 made a careful coordination in Japan as to their division of labor and worked separately as follows.Kitaoka did his research at the Public Record Office in London to study British documents with regard to their policy toward Japan, Asia, and US. Ishii mainly stayed in Ottawa to study Canadian diplomatic papers at the Canadian National Archives. Moriyama had been in Seoul to search for Korean material at the Seoul National University and Korean National Library but the result was not particularly fruitful. Li's effort at the Kennedy Library in Boston and the Johnson Library in Austin was most rewarding among 5. Akaneya was in Cambera, to work on Australian documents on foreign relations at the Australian National Archives and the Australian National University.The aim of our project is too big to complete in a short period. Still, we are quite satisfied with the results of this project. We believe we have made a very good start toward a new study with this project

五十嵐班の1994年度の活動においては、1994年度研究実施計画に従い、アジア・太平洋地域の戦後の国際秩序の形成・定着過程が実証的に分析され、これまでの研究成果と合わせて総合的な考察がなされた。その第一は、国際政治経済体制の主流の側面であるブレトン・ウッズ体制の形成および定着、冷戦の起源およびアジアへの波及に関する理論枠組みの完成である。これに加え第二に、東・東南アジアの独立と独立後の発展および極東委員会に関する実証的検証が行われた。最終的に、これらの研究結果が総合的に把握され、日本が戦後適応していった国際環境が、いかに形成され定着していったかが明らかにされた。研究会は次の通り実施された。9月23日 「戦後初期における『日本要因』-ソ連・中国からみた日本」石井明(東京大学)10月3日 "U.S.-Japan relations in the 1950s and 1960s with emphasis on the 1960s and the impact of Vietnam War" Michael Schaller(アリゾナ大学)1月20日 「戦後外交と戦後構想-重光葵を中心に」波多野澄雄(筑波大学) 「国連と戦後外交-国連加盟への道」井上寿一(学習院大学)2月15日 「スティムソンの国際主義理念の再検討」中野博文(広島大学) 「日本社会党と対外経済関係」中北浩爾(東京大学大学院)3月22-23日 「占領下日本の国際的地位」五十嵐武士(東京大学) 合評『岸信介』(原彬久著

本研究は、主権国家の並存と情報の超国家化という現実の相克のなかで、国際社会の平和と安定の基盤となる共通の規範秩序の形成に対して果たす国際間の情報流通の役割を、東アジア・太平洋地域を素材に学際的に検討したものである。この場合に、(1)国際的な環境、(2)国内的な環境、(3)あるべき規範内容、のそれぞれについて、検討をくわえる必要がある。(1)については、この地域においては、地域経済協力の粋組みが重層的に存在するが、「相互信頼醸成」の重要性が増す中で、共通価値の共有に情報流通が果たす役割を十分認識しておく必要がある。(2)については、望ましい規範価値を構想し、それを国際的に発信していく国内政治体制のあり方を検討しておく必要がある。(3)については、人権や民主主義といった価値を自明のパッケージとして考えるのではなく、その要素に分解して、共有されるべき部分とそうでない部分との腑分け行う視点も重要になる

本研究は、国際的な衛星通信の時代を迎え、主権国家の並存と情報の超国家化という現実の相克のなかで、国際社会の安定と平和に国際間の情報流通がどのような役割を果していくかについて、東アジアを素材に、検討を学際的に行おうとするものである。定期的な研究会及び合宿研究会によって、本テーマにかんする基本的な枠組みの整理及び基本的な問題点の抽出が、つぎのような形ですすんでいる。第一は、国際間の流通によって伝えられる情報の内容にかかわるものであり、東アジアにおける共通の「普遍的価値」についての研究である。この場合に、その内容をなす人権や民主主義といった価値が特殊に近代ヨーロッパの産物という性格ももち、東アジアにおけるその妥当性はただちに自明ではなく、中国に典型的にみられるように、経済の市場主義化を推進しつつ政治の民主化をおさえる動きや、ナショナリズムへの傾斜がみられることとの擦り合わせを行う必要がある。また、「文化帝国主義」という言葉に示されるように、各国の文化が欧米からの情報に従属しがちななかで、東アジアにおける「普遍的価値」をどのように形成していくかという課題がある。第二は、国際間の情報流通を規定する環境条件にかかわる問題である。ASEANを取り巻いてAPEC、東南アジア友好協力条約、PMC、ARFなど地域経済協力の枠組みが重層的に存在する一方、政治秩序と経済秩序の不整合性がみられること、経済成長によって欧米支配からの自立の動きがみられること、規範的価値を実現していくための手法の多様性(たとえば、「人道的干渉」、国際組織による強制措置)、などが考慮のなかに入って来る。こうした枠組みのなかで、国家間の相互信頼を醸成していくために、国際公共価値を日本から発信していくための条件整備をどのように行っていくかという検討が、日本国内の政治主体のあり方も視野のなかにおきながら、なされる必要がある

本研究班は、1980年代以降西半球やアジア太平洋地域との連携を深めつつあるアメリカ外交の新潮流を踏まえ、アメリカの対アジア太平洋政策を総合的に分析し、21世紀のアメリカ外交の方向を探ることを目的としている。なかでも、アメリカの外交政策を構造的側面から考察することを目指しており、アメリカ外交の歴史的特質や、国内の政治・社会状況と外交政策の連関の分析を重視している。本年度の活動は、昨年度同様、アメリカ関連の資料収集、海外への調査を継続した。その際、これまでの年次では歴史的背景の分析に大きな比重をかけてきたのに対して、冷戦の終焉とグローバル化という2つの波を受けた90年代以降の情勢を理解することに主眼を置いて研究を進めてきた。グローバル化との関係でアメリカが検討される場合には、アメリカをグローバル化の「震源」ととらえる場合が多いが、本研究班ではそれと同時にアメリカをグローバル化の「受けて」としてもとらえており、その点は他の研究にはみられない独自性であると自負している。こうした目的を達成するために、研究成果発表に向けてメンバーによる中間報告のための研究会を開催し、あわせて論文集の企画の最終調整を行った。本年度の研究会は、以下のとおりである。「アメリカの国家的変容と太平洋世界の形成」(五十嵐武士教授)、2002年5月24日。「アメリカニズムをめぐって」(中野勝郎法政大学教授・西山隆行東京大学大学院生)、2002年9月27日。「近年の共和党の保守化と外交政策への含意」(久保文明慶応義塾大学教授)2002年11月29日。「アジア系アメリカ人の政治参加の変容」(大津留智恵子関西大学教授)、2002年12月20日

21世紀の日本外交、20世紀の成果と課題に対する冷静な分析のうえに立って、新たに再構成される必要がある。この観点から20世紀の日本外交を振り返ると、われわれは日本外交において、近隣の東アジア諸国との関係構築が不十分であったことに気づく。そこで、わが国最大の国際関係関連の学会である財団法人日本国際政治学会においても、中堅メンバーを中心にひとつの国際共同研究プロジェクトを構想するため、今回の申請を行った。そこで、2001年7月末に香港で開催された北米を中心とした全世界的な国際関係学会であるISA(International Studies Association)大会において、各メンバーがパネルに参加することで、世界の各研究者からの批判と建設的意見を仰ぐとともに、将来へ向けての更に大きな国際共同研究の可能性を探った。この香港会議にメンバー全員が参加するとともに、その場で各国の研究者も加えて何度も会合を重ね、こうしたプロジェクトの重要性を確認しあった。それが、予定より外国旅費に費用を費やした理由である。とりわけここでは、日本の経済力低下にともなう外交力の相対的低下にどう対応するか、そのさいそれを補うひとつの方法として東アジア諸国との連携と協力をどう進めるかなどにつき、議論を深め、問題の重要性を確認しあった
