研究成果概要
This project has continued to move forward in a variety of ways. I've recently been collecting updated information from various scholars related to extremist groups in the United States. I will also travel to the U.S. in both February and April to collect further data and meet with colleagues working in this area. In the meantime I've been monitoring a variety of websites where militia member regularly communicate with one another, as well as sites that monitor these groups, including Southern Poverty Law Center and the Chicago Project on Security and Threats at the University of Chicago.

The topic has also been expanded to include a more in-depth look at the implications of populism for the international relations of Japan. There is a risk that populism threatens alliances with central western states aimed at guaranteeing Japan's security at home and abroad. It is thus important to gain a sense of how Japanese view populist surges in relation to security alliances and the implications of this for its defense posture.
