Minority Groups' Network in the Mediterranean Coastal Cities.

该研究小组在过去两年中从当代观点和历史观点着重于地中海沿岸城市少数群体区域间网络的有关问题。在前一种情况下，必须在所谓民族国家的框架内考虑问题。该小组的成员是地中海世界各地的专家，在有关领域具有长期的研究经验。我们特别强调了对少数民族的居住和职业状况的分析以及各种少数民族组织的形成。我们选择了以下群体作为研究样本：埃及的科普特人和犹太人;土耳其的希腊东正教少数民族和犹太人，西方的突厥人;意大利的犹太人、阿拉伯人和阿尔巴尼亚人;摩洛哥的犹太人;以色列不同血统的犹太人。我们与样本线人进行了多次访谈，并收集了进行研究所需的原始材料。在可能的情况下，我们还试图调查官方统计数据。我们每月定期在一桥大学举行研究会议，以交换意见，并将成员的研究成果融入研究小组的研究计划。关于出版我们两年来的成果，我们目前正在准备出版我们用欧洲语言撰写的论文集，这将构成该研究小组系列出版物的第十五卷。每份文件将包括个案研究报告以及比较观点介绍。

This research group has focussed in the past two years on problems pertaining to interregional networks of minority groups in the Mediterranean coastal cities, both from a contemporary perspective and the historical viewpoint. In the former case, problems must be considered in the framework of the so-called nation state. Members of the group are specialists in various parts of the Mediterranean world with long time of research experience in the areas concerned. We have especially emphasized the analyzes of residential and occupational situations of the minority groups and the formation of various kinds of minority group organizations. We chose the following groups as research samples : Copts and Jews in Egypt ; Greek orthodoxy minority and Jews in Turkey, Turcs in the western Trace ; Jews, Arabs and Albanians in Italy ; Jews in Morocco ; Jews of different origins in Israel. We have held many interviews with sample informants, and collected source materials necessary to conduct the research. We also, when possible, tried to investigate official statistics. We hold regular monthly research meetings at Hitotsubashi University, in order to exchange opinions and integrate the results of the research of the members into the research scheme of the research group. Regarding the publication of our two year achievements, we are now preparing the publication of our collected papers written in European languages, which will constitute the fifteenth volume of the series of the publications of this research group. Each paper will constitute reports of case studies as well as presentations of comparative viewpoints.
