Religious Study in Comparative Perspective for the Rise of Religious Fundamentalism/Nationalism in relation to the Globalization of the Contemporary World

在这个研究项目中，我试图研究宗教原教旨主义/民族主义的兴起和反对邪教/教派的政治社会运动与所谓的当代世界全球化进程的关系。在众多的全球化理论中，笔者关注了罗兰·罗伯逊的全球本土化理论，该理论强调传统文化和宗教随着全球化的扩张而成长。在理论探讨方面，笔者试图收集和研究与之相关的论文和书籍，包括约翰·迈耶的世界政体体系、沃勒斯坦的世界体系、吉登斯的反思性现代化理论和罗伯逊的全球本土化理论。我可以肯定，由于旧的自我或民族身份变得相对化和模糊化，由于每个人、团体和国家都不得不在全球化的过程中寻求新的身份，因此，原教旨主义和地方化的趋势日益明显。 ...更多信息 此外，我还对被视为社会问题的邪教、批判邪教的运动、西欧、中欧、中南美、韩国、中国等国政府的立法等各种对策进行了研究和收集。此外，我还与同事和学生一起开始重新审视日本的靖国神社问题。通过这些研究，我可以确认世界范围内各国民族主义的发展趋势与宗教原教旨主义的兴起密切相关。在本研究的最终报告中，我将项目的结果和收集到的资料整理成5个部分，1：我自己就相关主题撰写的论文，2：关于从靖国神社的角度探讨日本宗教民族主义基础的论文，3：关于世界一些主要国家宗教原教旨主义和民族主义发展的论文。4：关于邪教/教派争议的最新发展，5：参考文献。其中大部分是在IAHR、ISSR、AAR和我们自己的研究小组就本项目的主题举行的几次国际研讨会和小组讨论会上发表和讨论的论文。少

In this research project, I have tried to study the rise of the religious fundamentalism/ nationalism and the political social campaigns against cults/sects in relation to the progress of the so-called Globalization of the contemporary World. Among various theories on globalization, I have paid much attention to Roland Robertson's theory of Glocalization, which stresses the growth of the traditional culture and religion in accordance with the expansion of globalization.On theoretical discussion, I tried to collect and examined papers and books related to its discussion including those of John Meyer's World Polity system, Wallerstein's the World System, Giddens's theory of the Reflective modernization and the theory of Glocalization by Robertson. I could confirm the growing trend of Fundamentalism and Localization because the old self or national identity becomes relativised and obscured, and because every individual, group and nation has to seek their new identity in the process of glo … More balization.I also did research and collected materials concerning cults/sects regarded as socially problematic, those of movements that criticize them, various countermeasure including law enactment by governments in the Western/Central Europe, in the Central/South America, Korea and China and so on. In addition, I started, together with colleagues and my students, to re-examine the Yasukuni-Jinja problems in Japan. Through these studies, I could confirm the world-wide trend of the growth of Nationalism in various countries in closely connected with the rise of Religious Fundamentalism.In the final Report of this research, I have made arrangement to show the results of the project and the collected materials in 5 sections, 1 : my own papers that were written on the related themes, 2 : papers on pursuing basis of Japanese Religious Nationalism in terms with Yasukuni-Jinja, 3 : those concerning the developments of Religious Fundamentalism and Nationalism in some major countries of the world. 4 : on the recent development of the cult/sect controversies, 5 : references. Most of them are papers presented and discussed at several international symposiums and panels held upon the topics of this project in IAHR, ISSR, AAR and our own research group. Less
