• Emerging security threats and the development of economic globalisation
  石川 知子; 西川 由紀子; 山形 英郎
  今年度は、次の点について理論的な面での検討を進めることができた。(a) 現在の経済グローバライゼーションと安全保障との間の緊張関係の高まり、特に既に各国・地域でみられる安全保障を理由とする貿易・投資に係る規制強化の流れをもたらした政治的・経済的要因。(b) 現在の貿易・投資自由化に係る国際法の枠組みが、かかる緊張関係に対処するに十分でなく、このことは、各国の規制強化への流れをさらに加速させかねないとの仮説を、安全保障例外条項の解釈が問題となった国際裁判所や仲裁廷、1947年GATT及びWTOの下での事例や判例の検討を通じて検証する。(c) 経済グローバライゼーションと安全保障との間の緊張関係が解消されない場合、これが長期的にもたらし得る政治的問題及び経済的影響につき検討する。 さらに、今年度は、上記の分析を、サイバーセキュリティの分野に当てはめ、サイバー特有の問題点として、「マーケット主導型」モデル（欧米型）と、「国主導型」モデル（中国、ロシア、ベトナム等）の検討を行い、サイバーセキュリティと経済グローバライゼーションとの間の緊張関係が生み出す様々な問題を、国際政治学、国際法学を含む学際的アプローチで分析するためのプロジェクトを進めている。国際政治学、国際法学各分野から、多国籍の執筆者（日本、米国、カナダ、ルクセンブルク、英国、スペイン、ポーランド）による編著、Tomoko Ishikawa and Yarik Kryvoi (eds.)

• New Perspectives on Hybridity in Peacebuilding
  西川 由紀子
  研究3年目では、前年度までに行ってきた理論的考察に対し、本研究の対象となる事例（ミャンマー、東ティモール）における実情とどのような祖語があるのか、また既存研究で明らかにされているハイブリッドとは両国において何を指し、そのような状況のことであるかについて聞き取り調査を行った。昨年度から引き続き新型肺炎により現地調査の実施ができなかったことから、オンラインでの聞き取り調査に変更した。また、日本に滞在中の東ティモールの行政官4名からも聞き取り調査に協力してもらい、2つの事例の検討事項について具体的な情報が得られた。ミャンマーについては、現地の状況が2021年のクーデター以降、不安定であることから、最終年においても聞き取り調査を実施することは難しいと予想される。このことから、本年度の聞き取り調査では、オンラインであったが、現地のネットワークを紹介してもらい、多様なアクターに聞き取り調査を行った。 ミャンマーに関する聞き取り調査では、現地に土着の平和のアプローチと、援助機関や外部アクターによるかかわりによってもたらされた平和概念が、いかに現地において取り扱われているのか、市民の認識において、これらは調和的であるのか、対立的であるのかについて多様な意見がみられた。 東ティモールについては、政治的に安定していることもあり、平和に関する関心から開発問題に関する関心へと移行したこと、現地の土着の制度やシステムと外部アクターによってもたらされた新たな制度やシステムが、時には対立しつつも現地化したものもあることなどが指摘され、本研究の核心に関連する状況が明らかになった。 本年度の研究により、事例研究によって得る予定であった現地の情報が一定程度得られた。他方、実質的な状況を現場で体感し、観察することができないことから、本研究の申請時に予定していたほどの成果は得られなかった。, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2019/04 -2023/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
• A Study of the Exclusive Defense Doctrine in Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution: New Security Policy beyond the Right of Self-Defense
  YAMAGATA Hideo
  In Japan, the Defense Related Law lifting the ban on collective self-defense was enacted in 2015. There was a big debate over the right of self-defense among constitutional law and political science scholars. In international law, use of force is prohibited against another State in international relations in Article 2 (4) of the UN Charter and the right of self-defense is a circumstance to preclude illegality of use of force. Under the national policy of “defensive action only” not to deploy the Self-Defense Forces overseas, military action for national defense within the Japanese territory is not illegal because use force against other countries is not involved. Therefore, exclusive defense policy does not require the right of self-defense in international law. The right of self-defense allowing the use of force against another country contradicts the idea of exclusive defense policy of Japan. It is necessary to consider defense policies without employing the right to self-defense., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2018/04 -2021/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Nagoya University
• Comparative Empirical Research on the Context for Protests Across Asia and Latin America
  Okada Isamu
  This research addresses protest participation in Asia and Latin America using a shared theoretical framework and analytical design. It deals with an underexplored comparison across regions and challenges stereotypes which assume Asian people be less active in joining protests than Latin American. A challenge in inter-regional comparison is a large number of potential confounders which raises the bar for tackling omitted variable bias in observational studies. We homed in on this problem with original survey experiments in Bolivia, Cambodia, and Mongolia, conducted during August-December 2018. In our framework, we posit that people’s proclivity to join a protest on land problem differs along the way they perceive the state’s role in intermediating societal interests. In brief, states are perceived as fearful autocrats, paternalistic mediators, challenged icons, or porous enforcers. The dominant image, we argue, influence diverse attitudes of people under each type of authority., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2016/07 -2021/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Nagoya University
• Deepening governance theories in developing countries
  Eiji Oyamada
  The objective of this study is to surpass the current general theory in the study of governance, by incorporating international development and international politics in a systemized method, taking into account both the country specific and universality in elements of governance in the analysis, with reference to the procedures of political economic analysis of each country as put forward by DFID and promoted by EU countries, the World Bank and others. Research conducted in Rwanda were incorporated in 4 papers for the first year, and results for second year research in Cambodia were published in “Development in Developing Countries Based on a Social Survey”, and thereafter “Sixty One Books in the Study of International Politics: Understanding Governance in Developing Countries”, making a big step forward in incorporating international development and international politics in a systemized method., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2015/04 -2018/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Doshisha University
• A macro-analysis on development, conflict prevention and democratization in post-conflict countries
  Nishikawa Yukiko
  This research attempted to identify relevances among development, democratization, and political stability in 30 post-conflict countries. From this resaerch, it became clear that many post-conflict countries requires over 10-20 years to recover the economic level of pre-conflict time. Furthermore, the research revealed that there are certain relevance between development, democratization and political stability in those countries in concern. However, this research did not idetify the causal relationship among them., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2014/04 -2017/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Nagoya University

  Globalization and Development Research Project is a "cross-national study" on the "interstate dispersion" of the impacts (to growth, inequality and poverty) that international economic integration provides to the economies of the developing countries. In order to present the “Leading Issues in Development with Globalization” in a balanced manner, to identify differences and commonalities among “Country Experiences” in development with globalization, and to introduce diversified development paradigms with forward-looking discussions “In Search of a New Development Paradigm” for the post-MDGs era. This reserch project produced a three-volume book series (in English) as a unique and comprehensive guide for those in the international development community on the subjects of diversified development paradigms/paths under globalization and other challenges in the post-MDGs era., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2010/04 -2015/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A), Nagoya University
• Issues of Governance Studies in Developing Countries: Democratization, Building Developmental State, Local Autonomy
  KIMURA Hirotsune; OTSUBO Shigeru; SATOH Hideo; OYAMADA Eiji; KONDOH Hisahiro; SUGIURA Koichi; KANAMARU Yuji; NISHIKAWA Yukiko
  The target of this research project was to set the development politics in international development studies side by side with development economics and development sociology. We gathered political scientists who have PhD in developing country studies and published two books on development politics in 2011 and 2013 and deployed the comprehensive analysis on the importance of political viewpoint for the development., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2010 -2012, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Nagoya University
