The State Interest and International Norm Dialectic: A Cross-National Empirical Analysis of the Advent of an Opportunistic Humanitarian Protections Regime for Refuge Seekers

健康风险使得在新冠肺炎下恢复旅行和田野工作变得困难，所以我继续收集二次数据并更新我的论文章节中使用的统计数据，以便它们可以用于此项目的分析，同时也将我在项目阶段的工作重点转移到更详细地回顾构成此项目理论基础的社会学新制度主义和相关全球化文献。建立坚实的理论基础是非常重要的，因为该项目旨在为文学做出理论贡献。为此，我发表了一篇论文(2023年3月)，比较了世界社会理论、世界系统理论和IR建构主义，讨论了它们对文化全球化研究的不同但又相辅相成的理论效用。另一篇回顾和分析社会学、新制度主义和世界社会理论视角随时间推移在日本社会学中的使用和内容的论文目前正在审查中。在即将到来的IMISCOE年度会议上(2023年7月3-6日在华沙[和在线]；提交状态：已接受)，我将介绍我的最新研究。2022年8月，我还参加了一门关于生存(事件历史)分析的在线课程--我计划在这个项目的分析中使用一种方法。

Health risks made it difficult to resume travel and fieldwork under COVID-19, so I continued to collect secondary data and update the statistical data used in my dissertation chapters so they can be used for this project’s analyses, while also shifting the focus of my work at this stage of the project to reviewing in much more detail, the sociological neoinstitutionalist and relevant globalization literatures that form the theoretical foundations of this project. Establishing a solid theoretical foundation is of great import as the project aims to make a theoretical contribution to the literature.In line with this endeavor, I published a paper (March 2023) that contrasted World Society Theory and World-Systems Theory and IR constructivism to discuss their variegated yet also mutually supplementary theoretical utilities for research on cultural globalization. Another paper that reviews and analyzes the usage and content of sociological neoinstitutionalist and World Society Theory perspectives within Japanese sociology over time is currently under review. At the upcoming IMISCOE annual conference (July 3-6, 2023 in Warsaw [and online]; submission status: accepted), I will present my most recent research. In August 2022, I also took an online course on Survival (Event History) Analysis - a method I plan to use in this project’s analysis.
