Nationalism and Regionalism in Europe and East Asia

本研究项目是对欧洲和东亚的民族主义和地区主义比较动态的一次独创尝试。总的来说，它在比较区域主义领域做出了三方面的贡献。首先，基于在中国、新加坡、泰国和韩国进行的实地调查，本研究考察了东亚民族主义的复杂形态。其次，本研究采用自下而上的视角对民族主义进行比较研究。深入的个案研究揭示了民族主义在协调区域合作和一体化进程方面经常被忽视的作用。第三，本研究拓展了现有文献的理论范围，开启了国家与地域主义关系的新研究议程。该项目的成果包括三篇同行评议的期刊文章、三本书章节，以及在日本、阿根廷、澳大利亚和美国举行的学术会议上发表的九篇研究报告。

This research project is an original attempt to chart the comparative dynamics of nationalism and regionalism across Europe and East Asia. On the whole, it has made three contributions to the field of comparative regionalism. Firstly, based on the fieldwork conducted in China, Singapore, Thailand and South Korea, the research has looked into the complex configuration of nationalism in East Asia. Secondly, the research adopts a bottom-up perspective to study nationalism in a comparative setting. In-depth case studies have revealed the oft-neglected roles of nationalism in mediating the process of regional cooperation and integration. Thirdly, the research has expandedthe theoretical scope of existing literature, and initiated a new research agenda on the relationship between the state and regionalism.The outcomes of the project include three peer-reveiwed journal articles, three book chapters, and nine research presenatations delivered at the academic conferences held in Japan, Argentina, Australia, and the US.
