- 研究成果概要
- To decode the state's roles in regional integration, this research project looks into two key aspects of the state: national identity and government popularity.
Concerning national identity, comparative study between Europe and East Asia has been conducted with regard to its political mobilisation and rhetorical discourses. The analysis shows that the politicisation of national identity often relies on the mobilisation of radical right-wing political parties in Europe. By contrast, the mainstream parties play a central part in its politicisation in East Asia. It also reveals that the discourse of national identity tends to be self-referring in Europe, while other-references are more important in East Asia. These analytical results were published as a research note by the Science Council of Japan.
As far as government popularity is concerned, attention is paid to the perceptions of neighbouring countries in Northeast Asia. Based on AsiaBaromenter survey data, multivariate regression analysis points to three important determinants of public perceptions: national identity, overseas experiences and trust in national government. Among them, trust in national government constantly weakens favourable perceptions of neighbouring countries. These analytical results were first presented at the American Political Science Asssociation's Annual Conference, and later published in the peer-reviewed WIAS Research Bulletin.
