项目摘要

The independent nation-states that emerged in South and Southeast Asia during post-war decolonisation faced the difficult task of creating, out of all their diversity, a national people. Since the end of the colonial era nation-building projects have clashed violently with the identity politics of heterogeneous ethnic and religious communities, for these regions are home to some of the longest-standing ethnic and religious conflicts in the world. Given the ubiquity and longevity of such ethnic and religious conflict, it is clear that the particularity of each national case notwithstanding, there are more general factors at work, which would be revealed by a comparative study.This project establishes a network of 20 South and Southeast Asia specialists from Japan and the UK to: investigate the causes and dynamics of ethnic and religious conflict in South and Southeast Asia; identify commonalities across these national and regional differences; arrive at provisional conclusions on the salience and relative importance of these commonalities; and thus also identify those issues that warrant further and research-intensive enquiry in subsequent collaborations. Its aim is to bring into conversation and collaboration, through a series of workshops, the research that has already been done, but usually with reference to a specific country or region, rather than comparatively and across disciplines; and in the absence of collaboration between British and Japanese scholars.Led by professors Seth and Nakamizo, who have previously collaborated, this project gathers a unique network of 20 experts on ethnic and religious conflict (including scholars of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines) to investigate these more general factors and causes, and identify those factors and issues that warrant further and intensive research in subsequent collaborations, with a view to identifying measures that mitigate against violence and promote justice and peace. The 10 scholars from each country have been chosen for their expertise, but also with an eye to mixing senior scholars with early career researchers, and to achieving a rough balance of both genders. Its aims are:1 - Networking and Knowledge Creation: To connect a network of UK based and Japan based scholars through 4 workshops where information and research is shared in a directed manner and with a shared goal, that of investigating the causes and dynamics of ethnic and religious conflict in South Asia and Southeast Asia. 2 - Outputs and Impact: To produce a special journal issue on this theme, with contributions by a number of the participants. In addition, participants will be encouraged to produce collaborative articles on the basis of joint interests discovered in the course of the workshops. Non-academic stakeholders from government and civil society will be invited to send representatives to all workshops. A website will make summaries of the papers delivered, as well as of each workshop's proceedings, available in Japanese and English to non-academic and academic audiences. An interactive blog will be set up by participants to share their research with a wide audience in an accessible manner.3 - Laying the Basis for Subsequent Collaboration: We bring existing specialist expertise within a comparative frame, and into a collaborative conversation, in order to identify those areas and issues that require sustained and ongoing collaborative enquiry (including new and intensive research of a type not funded by this call), to be funded by potential future bilateral UK-Japan SSH research calls. Bringing scholars working on shared regions and themes is thus intended not only to produce a network for, and produce knowledge specific to this project, but also to lay the foundations for subsequent projects that arise out of this collaboration.

在战后非殖民化过程中，南亚和东南亚出现的独立民族国家面临着从其多样性中创造一个民族的艰巨任务。自殖民时代结束以来，国家建设项目与不同种族和宗教社区的身份政治发生了激烈冲突，因为这些地区是世界上一些最长期的种族和宗教冲突的发源地。鉴于这种种族和宗教冲突的普遍性和长期性，很明显，尽管每个国家的情况都有特殊性，但也有更普遍的因素在起作用，这将通过比较研究来揭示，本项目建立了一个由来自日本和英国的20名南亚和东南亚专家组成的网络，以：调查南亚和东南亚种族和宗教冲突的原因和动态;确定这些国家和区域差异的共同点;就这些共同点的突出性和相对重要性得出临时结论;从而确定在随后的合作中需要进一步深入研究的问题。其目的是通过一系列讲习班，将已经完成的研究纳入对话和合作，但通常是针对特定国家或区域，而不是进行比较和跨学科研究;在没有英国和日本学者合作的情况下，由之前合作过的赛斯教授和中见藏教授领导，该项目汇集了一个由20名种族和宗教冲突专家组成的独特网络，（包括印度、巴基斯坦、斯里兰卡、尼泊尔、缅甸、印度尼西亚、越南、泰国和菲律宾的学者）调查这些更普遍的因素和原因，并确定需要在以后的合作中进一步深入研究的因素和问题，以确定减少暴力和促进正义与和平的措施。每个国家的10名学者都是根据他们的专业知识选择的，但也着眼于将高级学者与早期职业研究人员混合起来，并实现两性的大致平衡。它的目标是：1 -建立网络和知识创造：通过4个讲习班将英国和日本的学者网络联系起来，以直接的方式分享信息和研究，并有一个共同的目标，即调查南亚和东南亚种族和宗教冲突的原因和动态。2 -产出和影响：利用一些与会者的贡献，制作关于这一主题的特刊。此外，还将鼓励与会者根据研讨会期间发现的共同兴趣撰写合作文章。将邀请政府和民间社会的非学术利益攸关方派代表参加所有讲习班。将建立一个网站，以日文和英文向非学术界和学术界读者提供所提交论文的摘要以及每次研讨会的会议记录。参与者将建立一个互动博客，以方便的方式与广大受众分享他们的研究。3-为后续合作奠定基础：我们将现有的专业知识纳入比较框架，并进行合作对话，以确定需要持续不断地进行合作调查的领域和问题（包括本呼吁未资助的新的深入研究），将由未来潜在的英日双边SSH研究呼吁资助。因此，将研究共同区域和主题的学者聚集在一起，不仅是为了建立一个网络，并产生针对该项目的知识，而且也是为了为这种合作产生的后续项目奠定基础。
