Nationalism and Regionalism in Europe and East Asia

该研究项目是一个原创性的尝试，以图表的民族主义和地区主义在欧洲和东亚的比较动态。总体而言，它对比较区域主义领域做出了三大贡献。首先，本研究以中国、新加坡、泰国和韩国的田野调查为基础，考察了东亚民族主义的复杂形态。其次，本研究采用自下而上的视角，在比较的背景下研究民族主义。深入的个案研究揭示了民族主义在调解区域合作和一体化进程中常常被忽视的作用。第三，本研究拓展了现有文献的理论范围，开创了国家与地方主义关系的新研究议程，并在日本、阿根廷、澳大利亚和美国的学术会议上发表了9篇研究报告。

This research project is an original attempt to chart the comparative dynamics of nationalism and regionalism across Europe and East Asia. On the whole, it has made three contributions to the field of comparative regionalism. Firstly, based on the fieldwork conducted in China, Singapore, Thailand and South Korea, the research has looked into the complex configuration of nationalism in East Asia. Secondly, the research adopts a bottom-up perspective to study nationalism in a comparative setting. In-depth case studies have revealed the oft-neglected roles of nationalism in mediating the process of regional cooperation and integration. Thirdly, the research has expandedthe theoretical scope of existing literature, and initiated a new research agenda on the relationship between the state and regionalism.The outcomes of the project include three peer-reveiwed journal articles, three book chapters, and nine research presenatations delivered at the academic conferences held in Japan, Argentina, Australia, and the US.
