Research on the relationships between the globalization and the regional economic integration.

本文通过对欧盟和日本跨国企业的实证考察，试图分析全球化与区域主义的关系，主要结果之一是从经济学的角度阐明了欧盟的重要性和局限性。欧盟被认为是提供作为国际公共产品的“正式制度”的地区权威，在世界经济没有世界政府的情况下，这种公共产品是供应不足的。中村主编的这本书的章节是这种分析欧盟的具体成果。另一个重要的结果是日本在欧洲的跨国公司爱德华·埃尔加的出版，该书分析了日本在欧盟的汽车和制药跨国公司。这本书在国外和日本都很受欢迎。本书是由国际商业学院前院长…教授主编的《国际商业的新视野》系列丛书之一更多来自利兹大学的彼得·巴克利。在日本，日本国际商业研究学院将这本书选为年度奖。我在一些会议上发表了论文，并撰写了论文。在九州大学举行的欧盟研究协会(EUSA)-日本年会上，我发表了一篇论文，研究了欧盟东扩与跨国公司区位之间的关系。这是为日本欧盟研究评审论文收到的，该论文将于2006年9月由EUSA出版。此外，EUSA要求我为未来对欧盟的研究提出新的方向，短文《欧盟经济学，经济学与欧盟》发表在EUSA日本通讯上。与他们一起，我写了一篇论文，分析了欧盟内外国直接投资对相关行业贸易的影响，以及相关行业本身的影响，发表在静冈大学《经济评论》上。国际联合研究也是今年的另一项成果。8月和9月，我邀请了Odile E.M.Janne博士(伦敦大学)，并获得了日本科学促进会的资助。对跨国公司的区位战略和产业集群进行了研究。作为研究结果的一部分，我们在首届比较地区主义项目国际研讨会上作了介绍，通过这笔赠款的研究，找出了区域经济一体化和跨国公司研究的差距。也就是说，包括这在内的现有文献一般着眼于对一体化地区的投资，而对撤资的关注要少得多。因此，我计划研究区域一体化和跨国公司之间的整体关系，包括从2006财政年度开始申请新赠款的撤资战略。较少

This research intends to analyse the relationships between globalisation and regionalism through the empirical investigation of the European Union (EU), and Japanese multinational enterprises (MNEs).One of the main results is to clarify the importance and the limit of the EU from the perspective of the economics. The EU is grasped as the regional authority providing the "formal institution" as the international public goods, which is under-supply in the circumstance of the world economy without world government. The chapter of the book edited by Nakamura is the concrete fruit of this way of analysis on the EU.Another important result is the publication of Japanese Multinationals in Europe, Edward Elgar, which analyses Japanese automotive and pharmaceutical MNEs in the EU. This book is highly appreciated both in abroad and Japan. This book is included in the series of New Horizons in International Business, edited by the former president of the International Business Academy, Professor … More Peter Buckley, Leeds University. In Japan, Japan Academy of International Business Studies selected this book as the Award of the Year.I presented at some conferences, and wrote papers. At the Annual Conference of the EU Studies Association (EUSA) -Japan, in Kyushu University, I presented a paper which investigated the relationships between the EU enlargement and the location of MNEs. This is received for the refereed paper of EU Studies in Japan, which will be published by EUSA, September, 2006. In addition, the EUSA requested me to suggest new direction for the future research on the EU, and the short essay, "Economics of the EU, Economics and the EU", is published in the EUSA Japan Newsletter. Along with them, I wrote a paper analyzing the impact of foreign direct investment within the EU on the trade of the related industries, as well as that of the industry in question itself, which is published in Economic Review, Shizuoka University.The international joint research is also another result of this year. I invited Dr.Odile E.M.Janne (University of London) with the grant from Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in August and September. We conducted the research on the location strategy of MNEs and the industrial cluster. As a part of the result, we gave a presentation at the first International Workshop of the Comparative Regionalism Project.Through the research by this grant, the gap of research on the regional economic integration and MNEs is identified. That is, the present literature including this generally looks at the investment into the integrated area, but give much less attention to the disinvestment. Thus, I am planning to examine the whole relationships between the regional integration and MNEs including the disinvestment strategy with the application to new grant starting from 2006 financial year.
