Globalizing Asia : Transformation of Nationals

全球化给亚洲社会带来了巨大变化，民族国家正在经历各种重组过程。这个项目是一项联合研究，旨在分析整个亚洲的这一趋势，并与包括欧洲和美国在内的其他地区进行比较。研究基金用于四个目的：1)在亚洲、欧洲和美国进行实地考察；2)收集历史材料、数据源、书籍、DVD、视频和照片等视觉资源。3)定期召开会员会议；4)支持PC、PC相关商品及其他文具的研究。作为领导，我努力分配资金，不仅在个别计划之间进行优先排序，而且在每个成员之间公平分配。在第二年和第三个项目后的年份，我们通过召开几次会议，在成员之间分享了大量的信息和想法。我们五人在日本比较政治学会年会上以“亚洲全球化”为题发表了演讲或发表了评论。去年，我编辑了一份由各位议员撰写的论文摘要，连同这份表格一并提交给社论司。由于出版商政策的突然变化，出版一本书仍然是一种追求。由于和成大学出版社表现出了兴趣，我们的书可能会在2007年初出版。

Globalization has brought tremendous changes into Asian societies, and as a result of that, nations-states have been undergoing the various processes of reorganization. This project is a joint research to analyze this trend in all over Asia as well as in comparison with other areas, including Europe and U.S.The research fund was used for four purposes : 1)to do field trips in Asia, Europe and U.S. ; 2)to collect historical materials, data sources, books, visual resources such as DVDs, videos and photographs. 3)to hold periodical meetings among members ; 4)to support research with PC, PC related goods and other stationeries. As a leader, I made best efforts to allocate the fund not only by making priorities among individual plans but also by dividing fairly for each member.In the second year and the third, post-project, year, we shared a great deal of information and ideas among members by holding several meetings. Five of us presented or commented at the annual meeting of Japanese Comparative Politics Association under the same title of "Globalizing Asia". At every occasion, members had fruitful discussion on the topic.Last year, I edited a broacher of papers written by the members, which I submit with this form to JSPS. Owing to the sudden change of publisher's policy, publication of a book is still pursued. Since Hosei University Press shows its interest, probably our book will come out in early 2007.
