Globalizing Asia : Transformation of Nationals

全球化给亚洲社会带来了巨大的变化，民族国家也因此经历了各种各样的重组过程。该项目是一项联合研究，旨在分析亚洲各地的这一趋势，并与包括欧洲和美国在内的其他地区进行比较。研究经费用于四个目的：1)在亚洲、欧洲和美国进行实地考察；2)收集历史资料、资料、书籍、dvd、录像、照片等影像资源。（三）定期召开会员会议；4)支持PC、PC相关产品及其他文具的研究。作为一个领导者，我尽最大努力分配资金，不仅在个人计划之间确定优先级，而且公平地分配给每个成员。在第二年和第三年，也就是项目结束后的一年，我们举行了几次会议，在成员之间分享了大量的信息和想法。我们中有5人以“全球化的亚洲”为题，在日本比较政治协会年会上作了发言或评论。委员们每次都就这一议题进行了富有成果的讨论。去年，我编辑了一份由会员撰写的论文集子，并将其与此表格一起提交给JSPS。由于出版商政策的突然改变，一本书的出版仍在继续。法政大学出版社对此表示了兴趣，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.
