東アジア地域においては、民間の進学志向や高等教育の大衆化、近年における急速な経済成長と国境を越えた人的交流の促進に伴い、各国における高等教育機関でも「国際化」と呼ばれる動きが進展してきた。その中でも、近年増加してい教育プログラムの教授媒介言語を英語にし、英語のみで学位取得を可能にした「International Program(国際プログラム)」である。これらの英語による教育プログラムは、国際社会における国内学生の競争力向上とグローバル人材の育成などの目的のほかに、言語の多様性が豊かな東アジアの高等教育において、英語が教授媒介言語になることによって域内留学の形に柔軟性が生まれ、海外の多様な言語・社会的背景を持った留学生を誘致することを可能にし、東アジア地域内の留学生移動の促進要因ともなっている。さらには、東アジア共同体構想の一環としてアジア版エラスムス計画とも言われる「キャンパス・アジア構想」が現実化し、高等教育分野における国境を越えた域内相互依存関係が進展しつつある。このような潮流を踏まえ、当研究では高等教育の国際化とその中での教育プログラムにおける教授媒介言語の問題に着目し、東アジア地域における将来的な地域共同体形成と、その文脈の中で位置付けられる地域的な高等教育政策の中で、教育媒介言語の問題を議論するためのフレームワークを提示し、今後の地域的共同体形成へ向けた高等教育の地域的発展のための示唆としたい。

In the presentation, Mr. Ong focuses on the power of recognition in shaping regional cooperation. He hypothesizes that the extent of recognition accorded to a region has an influence on its development. Then, he examines the hypothesis with newly released U.S. declassified diplomatic records and discusses how recognition was traded between ASEAN and three foreign powers, namely, the U.S., Japan and the European Economic Community, during the grouping’s formative years. He illustrates that the strengthening of a regional concept is influenced by the willingness of, and the extent to which, foreign powers recognize the entity.

The rapid increase in trans-boundary environmental problems has created a need for greater role of global cooperation among nations. Scholars' interest in the effectiveness of international environment agreements (IEAs) has increased in line with the significant increase of IEAs since 1970s. IEAs are the one of the representative international institutional instruments for coping with global environmental degradation. Therefore, analyzing and evaluating the effectiveness of IEAs is needed for the further sustainable development. However, there are not yet sufficient studies using quantitative analysis and discussions about the practical effectiveness of IEAs are still controversial.
Previous studies have primarily been case studies, due to diversity of characteristic of IEAs and difficulties of collecting data and evaluating the effectiveness of IEAs. However, in line with an increasing number of IEAs and building databases of IEAs, quantitative studies have been conducted utilizing various methodologies.
Also, the majority of previous studies have been utilized the data from particular agreements, so they have a limited ability to grasp an overall characteristics of IEAs. Moreover, results from previous studies are also open to dispute. While some scholars insist that their results show positive effects of IEAs on environmental performances, other studies have raised questions about the actual effectiveness of IEAs using empirical evidences. Therefore, there are strong needs to broaden research subjects and models to comprehend the practical effectiveness of IEAs more clearly in order to establish the shape of effective international environmental cooperation.
This study attempts to answer the question: what kind of IEAs are effective on eliminating or reducing particular environmental problems? To answer this question, this presentation is organized as follows.

Mr. Ryu argues that in Northeast Asia the salience of the so-called "history problem" widened the identity distance among the regional countries, while in Southeast Asia the process of building a regional identity and the ASEAN Community narrowed the regional identity distance. As a result, regional conflict became more frequent and intense in Northeast Asia, while it decreased in frequency and intensity in Southeast Asia. The analysis of the original multi-country surveys of the political elite reveals that identity distance correlates with key variables that would affect interstate conflict such as threat perception, regional security cooperation, and the willingness to settle disputes. Furthermore, the content analysis of major newspapers in the two regions shows how the identity distance evolved in opposite directions in the two regions.

Long run economic growth is associated with learning to produce an expanding range of goods. The greater the degree of diversification in export of an economy, the less volatile will export earnings be. Researchers argue that export diversification matters and is especially important for developing countries. On the other hand, product level extensive margin determines the diversification of bilaterally traded good bundles: Why does country 'i' export a very diverse goods bundle to country 'j' while it exports only in a handful of product categories to country 'k'? This study will try to find out how concentrated or diversified are the export patterns in East Asian countries, and what are the determinants for the concentration or diversification. Empirical international trade analyses for accurate and disaggregate trade statistics are increasingly demanding. Contemporary studies suffer from limited commodity coverage while analyzing trade patterns of East Asian countries. This study will contribute to the export diversification literature by presenting and discussing the differences in diversification patterns between East Asian countries by using internationally comparable disaggregated trade data. Traditional trade theories are ill suited to investigate diversification patterns because they provide no explanation of zero trade flows. The "new-new trade theory", by taking into account the fact that not all firms export, has contributed to efforts addressing this shortcoming. This study will examine the pattern of export specialization and the evolution of export diversification in China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Singapore and Thailand by using the concentration index at the SITC (rev 3) 3 digit level and HS (rev 2) 6 digit level over the years 2001-2009, covering all commodity data. At the same time, analysis of the presence of many zeros in the trade matrix for the countries of interest will be done by using disaggregated level data.

Rather than identifying and interpreting the political effects of news content, this study takes an institutional approach. A quantitative methodology of news coverage regarding China’s status as most favored nation (1994-2000) is employed to ascertain if, and how, the news media acted as an institution in two respects: independently ? through their selective emphasis on contingencies related to China’s status as most favored nation as well as the valence of their representation of the relationship between the United States and China; and politically ? through their relevance to political activity in the United States Congress.

In the context of ever increasing globalization trend affecting almost every aspects of people’s life both positive as well as negative ways, this study attempts to analyze the impacts of globalization on quality of life (QOL) in developing countries (DCs) in general and in the Asia-Pacific in particular. The study has three independent analyses using different datasets and both quantitative (panel data econometrics) as well as qualitative (content analytics) methods. First, using the panel data of 126 DCs from 1997 to 2005 it shows that globalization not only promotes human and gender development but also reduces human poverty significantly. Second, from the panel data of 19 Asia-Pacific countries from 1975 to 2005, it demonstrates that overall QOL, measured by the Human Development Index (HDI), of most countries in the region is moving closer to that of Japan (the benchmark country) and that globalization has a significant impact on this convergence process. Finally, it finds that the low-income countries (LICs) in the Asia-Pacific are moderately open (average score of 1.7 on the 0-3 point scale) towards global society. In conclusion, this study makes a number of scholarly contributions to research on the relationship between globalization and QOL by incorporating comprehensive measures and specific elements of both the dependent and explanatory variables with the most recent and a wide coverage of data and some methodological improvements in the analyses.

Japan, Republic of Korea (thereafter Korea), and China have for long been portrayed as rivals ? or at the very least competitors ? in the region of East Asia. Their competition for political initiative has been exercised in regional arrangements, and notably ASEAN Plus Three (APT). Yet it is precisely APT that spurred development of Japan-Korea-China summits, which since 2008 have been convened independently from ASEAN. The tension between competition in APT and emergence of closer cooperation in Northeast Asia prompts us to inquire into the rationale behind development of this trilateral framework. By taking into account China’s rise and Japanese and Korean reaction to it, this research is likely to elucidate a major research puzzle: why Japan, Korea and China ‘escaped’ ASEAN soil to pursue cooperation in a separate format.

The presentation is focused on three problems; what is it about the CMI that allows it successfully multilateralize while other, arguably more important, elements of regional integration are ignored? Why is it that many scholars and involved parties doubted that the CMI would progress? And what are the likely implications of multilateralization of the CMI for East Asian regionalism at large.

The research objective is to explore and identify improving factors and hindering factors in the development of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) which is a comprehensive and cooperative security dialogue framework in the Asia-Pacific region. The region currently faces not only traditional security issues such as proliferation of nuclear weapon and territorial disputes, but also increasing non-traditional security issues such as terrorism, transnational crimes and natural disasters. The ARF has dealt with the above political and security issues for sixteen years, and has gradually developed its function, albeit at a slow pace. The 27 participant states include key regional actors such as the United States and China. Therefore, examining political interaction and consensus on various agendas in the ARF, particularly between key regional powers, is essential in understanding what factors are conducive to the development of regional security cooperation.

Ms. Kawaji's research investigates the phenomenon of "Japanese fascism" in terms of continuity and universality of bio-politics from the pre-war and war-time movement of "socialization" to the post-war "welfare state" in Japan. The research explores the ideological transformations with relations to social structure in the inter-war period, by reflecting upon our questions of life. Her research focuses particularly on the analysis of the ideological transformation from the inter-war to the war-time by exploring activities of a Japanese social activist Kagawa Toyohiko. In her presentation, she compares Kagawa's humanistic activities with contemporary social works such as caseworkers, the charities of NGOs and social policies of the state.

Ms. Alice Park Lee's research is centered on states' participation in regional environmental institutions. She seeks to answer how economic and political dimensions motivate Asian countries in transnational networks of regional environmental institutions. In this presentation, the economic dimension will be examined by cost benefit analysis of domestic views. Her analysis on economic indicators and Social Discount Rate of 15 existing regional intergovernmental institutions will show the general structure of the institutions, using cases including the North-West Pacific Action Plan (NOWPAP) and the North Pacific Maine Science Organization (PICES). The results of the analysis show that security issues and political leadership, in addition to the diplomatic merit of participating in Asian transnational networks is high. By working on increasing economical, cultural, historical and institutional motivations, Asian countries can be further motivated and become committed to regional environmental cooperation.

The concept of identity has recently gained considerable currency in the social sciences. Within Asia, the concept of an Asian regional identity has been stressed as a component essential to the process of Asian integration and the formation of an Asian community. This has partly been because the commonalities among countries that would be emphasized through identity construction are also seen as means by which integration can be deepened and by which a regional community can be built. It has even been suggested that the lack of an Asian identity is the central problem for the region to solve, a goal that is evidenced by the clear embedding of the future role of identity in some regional institutions. This vision of identity as a functional tool of Asian integration requires researchers to both fully characterize this identity as well as make an account of how it is constructed and represented. In doing so, it is important to recognize the dynamic existent in Asia when regional and national perspectives clash. This dynamic exists outside the region as well, as countries outside Asia grapple with the idea of engaging an integrated Asian region. Thus, it is also important for researchers to recognize that identity is a question of standpoint; to capture the complexity of the Asian region's identity requires consideration of a multiple number of standpoints, including those from outside the region. This forum addresses the necessity to discern how the concept of an Asian regional identity is being and can be defined internally and externally. Three presenters will address these issues theoretically and empirically from standpoints within, as well as outside, Asia.

Ms. Nguyen Thu Anh's research is centered on the internationalization of tertiary education and Asian regional cooperation and integration in the field of higher education. The main purpose of this study is to investigate how internationalization of higher education is perceived and implemented at the institutional and individual levels in a specific context from the perspectives of the institutional key actors. To this end, the research firstly studies the practices and strategies of internationalization at VNU and its member institutions. Secondly, it examines the rationales, risks, obstacles and priorities attributed to internationalization in VNU by its key actors. Finally, it investigates how key actors' perceptions and practices are different from or similar to one another depending on their backgrounds.

How have the scholars of different disciplines and regions studied mediation in conflicts? In order to answer this research problem, the presenter will qualitatively explain the course of development of the studies of mediation in different disciplines and countries such as in Japan and the United States.
The presentation aims to explain the evolution of the concept of mediation in the academic literature of different disciplines. While many researchers admit the need to develop various methods of conflict resolution to end violent conflicts at all levels of analyses, few articles systematically explain the evolution of non-institutionalized methods of conflict resolution. Now that it is difficult to establish institutionalized mechanisms of third-party conflict resolution to end violence between parties in the Asia-Pacific region, it is reasonable to focus more on non-institutionalized mechanisms of third-party conflict resolution such as good offices, mediation and conciliation. Among these non-institutionalized methods to manage various conflicts, mediation is used more often than others in the world, including the Asia-Pacific region.
While mainly scholars of the law discipline have produced a great amount of works on mediation as an alternative dispute resolution to complement the malfunction of formally institutionalized legal institutions, it is going to be revealed that there is a need for further research on how the different types of mediators can coordinate with each other to cooperatively end armed conflicts.

This study explores the relationship between the elite press and foreign policy decision-makers in the United States in the context of post-Cold War. Two inquiries are put forth: the first seeks to determine if United States post-Cold War news coverage of China has been congruent with the national interest; the second seeks to statistically determine if patterns of attention paid to China in the United States Congress followed changes in the news media's coverage. Results show that while news coverage of China was only partly congruent with the national interest, it was a very good predictor of Congressional attention over the same time period.

This study highlights the needs for further research on retirement migration in Japan, focusing on critical review of previous studies. It is said that Japanese elderly are unwilling to move out or migrate after their retirement, but recently the interest on retirement migration is growing and also the number of retirement migrants is increasing, especially international retirement migration from Japan. However, the researches on retirement migration in Japan are scarce compared to US and UK which have been conducting studies on elderly migration at both domestic and international level from the 1960's. Further, the scarce researches on retirement migration in Japan usually focus on rural or domestic migration and the impacts at post-migration, i.e. psychological wellbeing.
Therefore, the main goal of this study is to create research design for further studies by studying previous reviews on retirement migration in US and UK, considering whether it is possible to apply US and UK's studies to Japan and what are the different characteristics between Japan and US-UK.
Next step for further research is to conduct fieldwork and employ case study methodology to reveal the reasons of migration and migrants' social network to their family. The retired life is more important because of increasing of life expectancy and therefore this further study is more important considering retirement migrant's independence and care problems at both private and social levels.

本報告では、まずニュージーランドにおける人権概念を整理し、かつては英国の植民地化のために利用されたワイタンギ条約について、その歴史的経緯を整理する。特に「条約」(ここでは法的強制力を伴うハードローの一つ)が、今日、英連邦諸国の一員として、先住民であるマオリ族の人権にどのように影響を及ぼし、「パケハ」(ヨーロッパ系を中心とするエスニック集団)との「共生」のためどのように変化し、その役割を担っているのか、ニュージーランド権利章典(1990年)や国際人権法等の影響も踏まえて考察したい。
また、コモンロー体系を採用するニュージーランドで、枢密院司法委員会でのワイタンギ条約の法的判断も併せて報告する予定である。

This paper examines the impacts of globalization on human welfare and poverty in developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region in comparison with other regions of the world. The paper uses the panel data of all the developing countries as far as data are available on the World Development Indicator (WDI) online database of the World Bank and the Human Development Reports (WDR) of the United Nations Development Programs (UNDP). Applying the regression analysis method the paper shows that all the major elements of globalization, including international trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), foreign aid, international migration and international tourism, have positive and significant impacts on human development in the Asia-Pacific region as well as elsewhere in the world. It also finds out that these factors have negative but significant impacts on human poverty as well. Comparatively, in South Asia, global economic integration has a more significant impact on human development than in countries in the Asia Pacific Region but a less significant impact than in the Sub-Saharan Africa region. This indicates that the poorer the region is, the greater the impact of global economic integration. This finding is also supported by the other results. For instance, in the Low Income Countries (LICs) the impact of global economic integration is the highest as compared with the Lower-Middle Income Countries (LMCs) and even lower than for the Upper Middle Income Countries (UMCs). Thus, it is concluded that the globalization benefits the poorer countries more, which ultimately helps to meet the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by reducing human poverty significantly. However, further research is essential to examine the impacts of globalization on certain geographical areas, certain group of people, and on certain sectors within a country.

アジア諸国の経済関係を見るために、直接投資と貿易の研究が不可欠である。特にアジア地域においては、直接投資を行う担い手として日本企業が大きな役割を果たしているのに対し、受け手としては、発展途上国(中国、タイなど諸国)が比較的大きな位置を占めている。また、中国、タイなど現地にある日系企業によるアジア地域内貿易と対米などの地域外貿易が活発に行っている。
このように、日本企業の対アジア進出に関する経済分析は、アジア地域内外の経済関係を理解するには重要なテーマである。2007年末までの進出別の日本企業現地法人数データからみれば、アジア諸国にある日本企業の現地法人数(12,710件)は全体(21,264件)の50%以上に占めている。且つ日本企業に一貫重視された北米地域(3,547件)を遥か超えた。
日本企業のアジアへの進出立地は、国別にみると、中国(4,878件)は最大の受入れ国であり、その次は、タイ(1,577件)、シンガポール(991件)、台湾(896件)、マレーシア(759件)である。その一方、同じくアジアにあるその他の国(例えば、プルネイ、ネパール)に進出した日本企業が数件しかない。もっと興味深いのは、中国の国内においても、同じ傾向が見られる。日本企業は、上海(1,709件)、江蘇省(740件)、広東省(721件)に集中立地している一方、その他の中国地域に直接投資はそれほどないである。
本論文では、東洋経済の『海外進出企業総覧』の個票データを用いたロジット・モデル分析を行い、日本企業の中国での立地要因を産業別により深い検討を加えることとする。
投資受入(国)地域の直接投資を引き付ける要因は、市場規模、インフラ整備、労働コストなど伝統的な要因以外、国際生産ネットワークを活用できる集積効果という要因が挙げられる。本論文は産業により求めている生産ネットワークと集積効果が異なるのかについて、日本企業の中国での立地をケースとして、実証分析を行った。
日本企業の対中進出する立地要因を明らかにすることは、それ自体大きな意味を持つのみならず、今後の日本企業の立地動向及びアジア地域内外の貿易の予測や分析にも繋がるものである。アジア経済関係に関する理解にも参考できると思われる。

Although the Imperial Japanese usage of the chemical warfare (CW) during the Asia-Pacific War was known to the Allied, it had been kept as a secret from post war Japanese people for several decades. Worst of all, it makes difficult to deal with CW side effects for Japan nowadays, such as the disposal of the abandoned chemical warfare (ACW) in China, the lawsuits by the ACW victims, and so on.
On the other hand, there was another well kept secret CW issue on the Allied side. Large scale experiments were conducted in Australia from 1942 to 1945 so as to prepare possible invasions with CW. Not knowing the evil after effect of the mustard gas, over 2,000 Australians were used as "human guinea pigs" in harsh field experiments. Many of them had suffered seriously for life without adequate compensations.
In the presentation, discussions on the implications of new knowledge from the Australian experiments will be made after brief surveys on the Japanese CW and its aftermaths. It includes the recent progress of ongoing issues mentioned above.

Title: Class, Status and Lifestyle in PRC
This presentation aims at showing how social stratification in the People's Republic of China can be explained through a Weberian framework of Class and Status stratification.
Economic inequality has been the focus of much research on Chinese social stratification. Schemes based on income, employment status and nature of workplace have been used to analyze Chinese society in terms of Class stratification, even though the term used may not be 'Class'.
However, there is a a less explored side of Chinese social inequality. That is a hierarchy of Status which exists in terms of symbolic inequality as a order in which social esteem is distributed. This Status order exists in parallel to the economic stratification, although they are related in many aspects, and is reflected in social relationships such as friendship and marriage.
Using data from nation-wide surveys, this research derives an occupational status measure from patterns of association between Chinese working adults. The same data is then used to demonstrate how aspects of lifestyle such as consumption and political participation relate differently to Class and Status stratification in China.

Title: Problem Defining the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act: Perception of Chinese Manufacturing as a Cause
This paper aims to show why and how the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act appeared on the US political agenda in 2007. Employing the concept of policymaking as a process of problem definition, an analysis of dominant frames within the news media and political discourse is taken to identify the respective perceived causes of the problems addressed in the act. Results show that in the news media as well as in Congressional debates, Chinese manufacturing is emphasized as a major factor leading to certain actions taken by the act, such as increasing the capacity of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The research paper aims to contribute to the understanding of regional identity formation with regard to bilateral and multilateral security cooperation in Northeast Asia. It focuses on the two major Asian regional actors, China and Japan. Mostly centering on questions of traditional national security, Sino-Japanese relations have often been characterized as the result of a ‘power shift’, contentions about history or as a result of conflicting identities.
However, since the 1990s, processes of globalization are dramatically changing the socio-economic and political environment in East Asia. It is thus necessary to analyze bilateral and regional security cooperation comprehensively.
This paper therefore seeks to explain the linkages between questions of traditional and non-traditional security in Sino-Japanese relations. The study evaluates Sino-Japanese policy coordination through bilateral and multilateral channels in the areas of maritime security and energy security against the background of their overall security-political relationship since 1990.

This paper aims to comparatively examine the integration practices of Japan and Korea at the state level to help understand the measures being taken to mitigate some of the migratory pressures resulting from deepening Asian regional integration and to enhance human security in the region. Specifically, the author aims to examine the state-led initiatives vis-à-vis Japan and Korea's burgeoning multicultural societies in an effort to comparatively examine their approaches to securing the human rights and security of their growing migrant populations. Through identifying parallels and differences in the approaches of the Japanese and Korean governments in terms of securing human rights and security, the author will outline potential areas of cooperation in dealing with growing trans-border migration between these two countries and in Asia in general.

As a result of the increasing awareness of protecting environment on the local, regional and international levels, since 1970s the security studies have been expanded to include new dimensions and concepts such as: human security, energy security and environmental security…
Currently there is little coherence around the world about environmental security's definition, threats, and policy responsibilities. However, it can be defined as: "The relationship between security concerns such as armed conflicts and the natural environment".
In this respect, the research aims at introducing and analyzing definitions of the concept of environmental security and its related concepts, as: environmental citizenship, environmentalism…
Since ODA is considered as one of the main tools of implementing the Japanese policy, this research will try to explore how central is that tool in enhancing the environment's quality on East Asia on one hand and the environmental regional cooperation on the other hand.
Examining the statements of both Game and Coalition theories, the paper will raise the following questions:
本研究の目的は、世界遺産地域(自然遺産)の屋久島を対象に、保護と利用の観点から持続可能な自然資源管理体制を明らかにすることである。1972年に採択された世界遺産条約は、条約加盟国に対して、自国内の遺産を保全する法的措置を義務付けているが、必ずしも保全が厳格に実施されていないという問題がある。そこで、環境ガバナンスの各主体と社会的環境管理能力(SCEM)の視点から自然遺産管理システムの社会的能力評価を行い(Matsuoka 2007)、保全と利用を念頭に置いた持続可能な管理システムの構成要素・制度形成のあり方を考察する。

I believe that text typing on small mobile devices will become more popular and necessary communication in Asian developing countries such as Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Laos and Cambodia etc. In these countries, however, there in no efficient and user-friendly text input method for mobile devices yet. Asian languages are syllabic languages that derived from Indic script or Brahmi around BC third century. And thus, Myanmar language or Burmese, Bengali, Nepali, Dzongkha (language of Bhutan), Lao and Khmer have common writing natures with Indian languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi and Tamil etc. But current mobile devices key-mapping or text input methods such as multi-tap or T9 are based on English and not directly applicable to syllabic languages are different and have larger numbers of characters than English alphabets. My research looks for common and user-friendly keyboard mapping and text input methods for Asian syllabic languages based on their word formation or writing natures for mobile devices. I have already proposed 1)Positional Mapping (PM) for mobile phone or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) keyboard mapping 2)Positional Gesture (PG) for gesture text input interface and 3)Positional Prediction (PP) for consonant cluster predictive text input.

This lecture will compare the differences of policy directions towards the internationalization of higher education between ministries, agencies, and advisory bodies. As a result, it is pointed out that there are various conflicting interests between the participants in them, such as politicians, bureaucrats, academics, business leaders, trade union, and so on. This paper argues that these conflicts result in advantage and disadvantage to implement the internationalization of higher education in Japan. The advantage is that various ministries and agencies can participate in policy-making process, so that the diverse views of Japanese society can be reflected to the policies. On the other hand, it is disadvantageous in that overall coordination functions are lacking in the policy-making process.

The idea of elderly people committing crime is often received first with curiosity and then skepticism. The term "criminal" conjures up an image of irresponsibility, self-indulgence, interpersonal intrusiveness, and a pattern of social rule-breaking. While news stories about Elderly Abuse are well-documented, Elderly Crime is less well known. This paper describes the prevalence of elderly crime and explains the dominant patterns and trends of such crime in the United States. A brief comparison has also been made of the crime statistics of Canada and Japan. It is important for society to recognize that the phenomenon of elderly crime exists and that it can happen to someone known to us. Elderly crime may in fact be symptomatic of a larger and more complex underlying issue within our society in dealing with the specific needs of the aged.

近年、消費者の非合理的購買行動に関する様々な観点からの考察を行っている研究が増えている。例えば、知覚していない誘因によって発生する無意識的購買行動や認知処理過程上発現する非合理的な購買行動に関する研究がそれであるが、最近このような問題に対する論議が比較的活発に行われてはいるものの、その具体的内容に関する説明は、依然として抽象的・直感的なものとなっているのが現状である。
このような非合理的購買行動に影響を及ぼす諸誘因を明らかにすることは、常に消費者のニーズを把握し、より有効な戦略計画を立てようと努力しているマーケティング主体にとって、合理的購買行動を決定付ける誘因を究明すること以上に重要な課題となる。
本研究報告では、消費者の非合理的購買意思判断に関して、既存の認知理論や経済合理性等の合理的観点からの説明に加え、メディアや店頭における広告メッセージなどといった与えられた情報に対する非合理的な情報解釈過程に影響を与える判断誘因を示し、それらの誘因が最終的な購買行動につながる一連の過程に関する概念的考察を行うことで、消費者の内部において生じている説明し難い購買行動を把握するための手がかりとなる仮定上の要因の存在可能性を提示することを目的とする。

008年4月から早稲田大学アジア太平洋研究科で博士課程後期院生として中国に進出する日本、韓国、台湾企業の立地決定要因の経済分析と比較の研究をしております。また、同年にアジア地域統合フェロー2008年度(春季)経済領域を研究しております。
【 国際会議出席状況 】
2007/11,「中国に進出する日本、韓国、台湾企業の立地決定要因の経済分析と比較――WTO加盟後を中心に」 ,学芸大学(日本)
2001年のWTO加盟を機に、中国は高い成長率を保つ一方、より多くの外資を引き入れている。しかし、全体投資を受け入れ省市別に見ると省市間で大きな差が見られる。上海市を中心として江蘇省、浙江省を含めた地域は、全直接投資額の35%を占めた。そして、広東省と山東省の2省を加えると、その額は全体の61%にまで達した。このように、中国のWTO加盟以後、対中直接投資は大幅に増加してきたが、中国に進出する企業の立地選択が集中しているという点は、大きく変わらないままである。
これら東アジア諸地域の立地選択には、それぞれの特徴的な傾向もある。日系企業は北京・天津デルタ、上海・江蘇長江デルタ、広東珠江デルタの3点へ集中し、韓国企業は遼寧・山東の渤海湾に焦点をしぼり、台湾企業は、広東・福建から江蘇省などの北方と中部地域(省市)にシフトしている。このような、中国に進出する日本、韓国、台湾企業の立地選択は、どのような要因を考慮して決定されているのであろうか。本論文では、対中進出企業の立地決定要因を省別に計測することによって、基本的な立地要因を分析し、さらに国際生産ネットワークを重視する集積効果、アジアでの特殊な文化・地縁のつながり、中国での地域格差の有無などの諸点もまた影響を与えうるのか、与えるとしたらそれはどの程度なのかも検証した。
今回の実証分析の結果から日本、韓国、台湾企業から対中直接投資立地は、さらに集中する傾向が強く、中国の中西部において、東部のように外資導入増加による経済成長へつなぐ経路は難しいように思う。むしろ、対中直接投資の立地の集中は、中国の地域格差を加速する可能性が高い。また、中国での日韓台企業の立地決定要因の経済分析と解明を行うことは、東アジア地域の経済が深化する中で重要な意味を持つと思われ、中国の外資誘致政策や地域格差緩和政策などの制定にも参考になることが期待される。

Yao Yuan is a Ph.D. Student of the Double Degree Program of Peking-Waseda University, major in Comparative Politics. He is now conducting the doctoral research on Chinese social movement about urban conservation issue. Around this topic, he has already published dozens of articles both in academic journals and newspapers, including Harvard China Review, South Weekend, or China Youth Daily. He is also the editor-in-chief of the UNESCO book Beijing and Beijing: A Critical Dialogue (2005).
During rapid urbanization since early 1990’s, Chinese local governments launched a nationwide Urban Renovation Campaign to historic cities and towns in order to serve the real estate development. Unfortunately, this campaign not only leaded to irreversible cultural, environmental, and scenic loss, but also created serious social, economical, and legal disputes.
However, Chinese public is more actively participating in urban affairs in order to protect the Old City. Inhabitants, volunteers and NGOs discuss and act for protecting the culture heritage, while numerous Websites, BBS and blogs offer them such a platform. Increasingly independent media actively spread their appeals to the public. The rising social movement for urban conservation becomes possible to influence policy process, which was nearly closed to the public for a long time.
Why the social movement for urban preservation can succeed in influence policy process, even change the models of urban governance? How the movement really moves? I will explain it through four factors of the movement: its origins, its mobilization, its strategy, and its outcome.Through this research we may:
