Comparing Nationalism and Citizenship of the U.S.And Japan

20世纪90年代末围绕美国和日本的国际政治局势的特点是后冷战背景下的政治观念重建和全球化的加速，不仅来自全球中心的外部，甚至来自全球中心国内社会的内部。鉴于这种政治背景，日本项目小组成员和罗格斯大学的成员都有必要重新审视民族主义和公民身份的性质，最好是在一个比较的框架内。在这一主题下，我们在美国和日本举办了六次研讨会，从历史、政治、法律和文化的角度分析和辩论了美国和日本的民族主义和公民身份案件。这些论文发表为《民族主义与公民身份I、II、III和IV》(大阪：JCAs，2000和2001)。日本成员还为每个主题进行了为期三年的实地研究。为了将所有这些活动结合在一起，Intera…2001年11月举行了题为“全球化时代的我们人民”的更多全国性研讨会，共发表了14篇论文，并在此基础上进行了深入的讨论。内部全球化对美国和日本社会都提出了共同的挑战，即如何保持政治共同体的完整性，以及如何在政治效能非常低的情况下重振公民身份，即使是在非少数群体中也是如此。对法律制度、族裔群体的活动、民间社会组织，包括非政府组织/非营利组织进行了个案研究，以找到答案。全球化和民族主义复兴可以同时进行的基本理解不仅通过案例研究得到了保证，而且通过美国和日本实时发生的事情--即9-11恐怖主义和围绕教科书重写的运动--得到了保证。同样清楚的是，民族主义是通过使用每一种社会主义所基于的价值观和思想来提升的。三年的田野调查记录被制成一份附件。综合项目的结果将出版为“我们在全球时代的人民”(大阪；JCAs)，日语的书籍形式的出版物也即将出版。较少

The international political situation surrounding the United States and Japan in the late 1990s was characterized by the reconstruction of political ideas in the post-Cold War setting and the accelerating globalization not only from the global centers outside, but even inside of the global centers' domestic societies. Given such political context, members of Japanese project team and those of Rutgers University shared the need to re-examine the nature of nationalism and citizenship, desirably in a comparative framework. Under this theme, we conducted six workshops both in the United States and Japan, analyzing and debating the cases of American and Japanese nationalism and citizenship, historically, politically, legally and culturally. The papers were published as Nationalism and Citizenship I, II, III, and IV(Osaka : JCAS, 2000 and 2001). The Japanese members also conducted field research for three years pursuing each of their topics. To incorporate all of these activities, an interna … More tional symposium "'We the People' in a Global Age" was held in November 2001, with fourteen papers and intensive discussion based on them. Internal globalization has raised the common challenge for both U.S. and Japanese societies, namely how to maintain the integrity of political community and how to re-vitalize citizenship when the political efficacy is very low even among non-minority population. Case studies on legal system, ethnic groups' activities, civil society organizations including NGO/NPOs are conducted to find the answer. The fundamental understanding that globalization and resurgence of nationalism can proceed simultaneously is re-assured not only through the case studies, but what were happening in real time in the United States and Japan : namely 9-11 terrorism and the movement surrounding textbook rewriting. It also became clear that nationalism is uplifted by using the very values and ideas upon which each of the societiesisbased. The record of three-year field research is made into an attached publication. Findings from the over-all project will be published as "We the People " in Global Age (Osaka ; JCAS), and a book-form publication in Japanese is also forthcoming. Less
