国家科学基金会提案1702979-博士论文研究：标题：当代无家可归者监管中流浪法的遗产PI：Matthew Marrco-Pi：Rayna Rusenko研究21世纪无家可归者监管的新举措倾向于集中在先进的西方背景下。他们要么关注当代新自由主义思想的意义，要么关注政策历史。在过去的十年里，日本和马来西亚的政府机构制定了新的治安、庇护所和住房计划，以实现零无家可归。该项目将调查亚洲地区两个首府城市--日本东京和马来西亚吉隆坡--的当代无家可归者法规。它将审查无家可归规定如何植根于每个国家的福利和刑罚制度的历史发展，从而注意到后/大都市和后/殖民背景。该项目将使用全球历史视角，为有关新自由主义治理、无家可归者管理以及帝国和殖民政治法律文化遗产的跨学科文献提供信息。通过分析亚洲两个不同发展背景下无家可归者监管的主要变化，这项调查将促进对特定国家形式及其各自的刑罚和福利基础设施对无家可归者管理的影响的理解。此外，该项目将确定跨境网络在采用、转变和交流与亚洲区域无家可归者管理有关的全球流动的想法和做法方面的影响。这种调查对于理解当代政策制度的不同地方形式以及更广泛的跨界创新和相互关系至关重要，特别是考虑到流浪法和相关政策网络的共同全球历史。本项目将说明无家可归政策的当前趋势如何利用历史上确立的体制安排及其观念基础，从而推动独特的政策变化和个人街头经验。该项目包括使用比较的历史学和人种学的方法来研究从十九世纪末到现在两个地点无家可归情况的变化。调查员将通过档案研究和访谈，确定支撑当代组织的思想和机构的关键历史转变，并通过档案民族志和民族志田野工作，追踪政策在街道层面的影响。这个项目的重点是不同发展状态的亚洲城市，旨在回答有关无家可归者监管的全球和地方轨迹的历史连续性和断裂的问题。

NSF Proposal 1702979 - Doctoral Dissertation Research: Title: The Legacies of Vagrancy Law in Contemporary Homelessness RegulationPI: Matthew MarrCo-PI: Rayna RusenkoStudies examining new initiatives in twenty-first century regulation of homelessness tend to center on advanced Western contexts. They focus on either the significance of contemporary neoliberal ideas or on policy histories. Over the last decade, Japanese and Malaysian government agencies have enacted new policing, shelter, and housing initiatives to achieve zero homelessness. This project will investigate contemporary homelessness regulation in two capital cities in the Asian region;namely, Tokyo, Japan, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It will examine how homelessness regulations are rooted in the historical development of each nation's welfare and penal systems, thereby giving attention to post/metropolitan and post/colonial contexts. The project will use a global historical lens to inform interdisciplinary literature on neoliberal governance, homelessness regulation, and legacies of imperial and colonial politico-legal cultures. By analyzing key shifts in homelessness regulation across two distinct developmental contexts in Asia, this investigation will advance understanding of the influences of particular state forms and their respective penal and welfare infrastructures with regard to homelessness management. In addition, the project will identify the influences of cross-border networks in the adoption, transformation, and exchange of globally-mobile ideas and practices relating to homelessness regulation in the Asian region. Such investigation is critical for understanding the distinct local forms of contemporary policy regimes, as well as broader cross-border innovations and inter-relations, particularly in light of shared global histories of vagrancy laws and related policy networks.This project will illustrate how current trends in homelessness policy tap into historically-established institutional arrangements and their ideational underpinnings, thereby driving unique policy variations and individual street-level experiences. This project includes the use of comparative historical and ethnographic methods to examine shifts in homelessness regulation in two sites from the late-nineteenth century to the present. The investigator will identify key historical shifts in ideas and institutions underpinning contemporary organization through archival research and interviews, and trace street-level impacts of policy through archival ethnography and ethnographic fieldwork. This project, by its focus on Asian cities of varied developmental statuses, seeks to answer questions regarding historical continuities and breaks in global and local trajectories of homelessness regulation.
