    21世紀前半のいま、ボーダーレス化で存在意義を失うはずだった「国境」は、国境を越えようとする人とかれらを押し戻そうとする人、国境を開こうとする人と閉じようとする人がせめぎ合う場で、あらためて焦点化されるようになっている。わたしたちの世界にかくも深く関与しつづける国境とは、そもそも何なのだろうか。それはどのような意味を持っているのだろうか。本書では、国家や国際機関の視点からではなく、マレーシア・サバ州とフィリピンとのあいだの国境を生きる海民＝海サマの視点から、いま述べた問いを探っていく。具体的には、マレーシア国家に編入された後のかれらの、①民族の生成、②開発過程、③イスラーム化にともなう宗教変容の三つの課題が、1990年代末におこなわれた綿密なフィールドワークに基づいて論じられる。

    This seminar aims at introducing recent Southeast Asian studies in Japan focusing on the religionization of marginalized peoples, such as minorities or peoples in the peripheries in Insular Southeast Asia. In the last few decades, the national religious authorities have shaped public affairs and deeply intervened in the every-day religious lives in Malaysia and Indonesia, while global non-governmental missionaries have extended their outreach activities to the least visited communities in the Philippines and Indonesia. Experiencing these modern religionization process, religious life of the marginalized peoples has changed more drastically than that of the mainstream societies. The reason is that the religious order of the modern nation-states or global missionaries is configured on the basis of the ideals, values and concepts of the mainstream societies which are often far different from those of the marginalized peoples. How have such marginalized peoples reorganized their religious lives in the religionization process? This general question will be addressed in the following three presentations in this seminar: Islamization of the Bajau in Sabah, Malaysia and eastern Indonesia; Christianization of the Sama Dilaut/Bajau in Mindanao, the Philippines; and cultural reorientation of “Bissu” or androgynous priests among the Bugis, in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.

    わたしは近年、東南アジア海民論の試論として二つの論文［長津 2012, 2016］を書いた。そこでは、東南アジアの海民がしばしばクレオール集団を構成してきたことに着目し、そうした民族生成が生じる場の政治過程やその社会空間について考えた。政治過程については周縁性・違法性・自立性を、社会空間については持続的な混淆と在地の共生を、それぞれの特徴として挙げた。本報告では、わたしがそうした海民論を考えるなかで、どのような比較を設定していたのか、また東南アジア海民論のさらなる展開をみすえたとき、どのような比較が地域研究として意味を持ちうるのかを検討してみたい。 取りあげるのは、わたしが調査を続けてきたバジャウ人である。報告ではまず、バジャウ人の民族生成に焦点をおいた上記の海民論を紹介する。そのうえで、そこでの議論が、第一に地域内比較を手法として展開されたこと、第二に地域間比較を念頭において構想されたことを示す。 第一の地域内比較とは、フィールドワークに基づく約60の海民集落間、あるいはそれらが位置する海域圏間の比較を指す。この空間軸での比較と変化を手がかりとする時間軸での比較こそが、上記の海民論の基点、つまりバジャウ人をクレオール海民という視点で動態的に理解することを可能にした。 第二の地域間比較は、メタ地域間比較とグローバル地域間比較にわけられる。メタ地域間比較とは、東南アジアあるいはアジアの異なる「地域」、具体的にはジャワや東アジアの「陸域世界」との比較を指す。この比較では、1980年代以降の東南アジア海域世界論における陸地中心史観に対する批判をわたしの海民論に接合している。その内容は、アカデミズムにおける地域認識の相違を批判的に提示することを企図している。この容易ならざる比較をここで無謀にも取りあげるのは、それを射程におくことなしに、地域研究における東南アジア海民論の意義を示すことができないからである。 もうひとつのグローバル地域間比較とは、海民や海域世界を一般概念・類型として措定し、その内容や歴史過程を地域ごとに比較考察するかたちの比較である。それは、海民や海域世界の地域性／通地域性（普遍性）、時代性／通時代性（プロトタイプ性）を明らかにすることを目指す試みである。グローバル地域間比較については、東アジア海域世界を対比事例として簡潔に展望を述べる。

    This presentation examines the “Islamization” of the Bajau, a maritime minority, in Malaysia and Indonesia by placing the process in local, national and global contexts. “Islamization” here refers to the process through which the Bajau have regarded themselves as “authentic” Muslims and also gained status as such in local society. The Bajau were once known as sea nomads and have so far constituted a distinctive maritime population in the region. Their settlements are dispersed widely from the southern Philippines, Sabah in Malaysia, to eastern Indonesia. Although they were once considered illegitimate Muslims by the neighboring dominant groups due to the latters’ prejudice, the Bajau are now reputed as pious Muslims in some regions. The processes of Islamization took place partially in connection with the global trend of Islamic resurgence starting in the 1970s. The processes have been, however, well modified in accordance with the local ethnic relations or the national religious policies, as well. In what contexts have the Bajau become “pious Muslims”? How similar or different are the contexts in Malaysia and those in Indonesia? These questions form the basis of the present study. Specifically, it analyzes and compares two cases of Islamization of the Bajau in Semporna, a border town in Sabah, Malaysia and in Sapekan, a remote island of East Jawa, Indonesia.

    本報告では、報告者が東洋大学において約10年間関わってきた学部レベルの臨地（フィールド）教育プロジェクトを題材に、①その系譜・企図、②学生の反応、③課題と可能性の３点について話す。 報告者は、2006年、東洋大学社会学部に着任した。報告者は、この教育組織に東南アジアに関わる臨地教育を持ち込むことを目論んだ。しかし、そこには当時、海外臨地教育を支える制度基盤は存在せず、さらに学生の大半は東南アジアについての知識も関心も持っていなかった。こうした状況で考えついたのが、「ふつう」の学生でも見聞きしたことがあるような東南アジアに関わる問題と日本を、身近なモノを媒介に結びつけ、そこに臨地教育を組み入れることであった。1980〜90年代、市民運動に取り組む東南アジア研究者が、バナナやエビを題材として「南北問題」にアプローチした手法を真似たのである。具体的には、まず熱帯林伐採を念頭において「紙と古紙」を、ついで日常生活のグローバル化を念頭において「古着」をそれぞれテーマとする教育プログラムを組織した。別の教員は、社会運動のグローバル展開を念頭に「コーヒーのフェアトレード」を取りあげた。いずれのプログラムも日本と東南アジアの双方に体験学習の場を設定した。 こうして約10年の間に、東南アジアに関わる臨地教育をカリキュラム化することに成功した。とにもかくにも学生の東南アジアに対する関心を喚起することはできた。しかし、東南アジアでの体験学習にまで参加する学生の数はいまだ少数にとどまる。ボランティアの枠組みを超えて東南アジアに関心を持ち、自ら調査に取り組むような学生は現れていない。報告者の教育能力の不足もある。しかしおそらく問題は、東南アジアさらには海外自体への学生の興味関心が過去10年ほどの間、低下し続けていることに深く関わる、つまり構造的な性格を帯びている。一歩先の臨地教育に向かう道のりは、決して単調ではない。 東南アジア地域研究の専門家がおこなう臨地教育では、その人の地域に根ざした総合的な知識と広範なネットワークが大いに役立つ。その内容は、既成のスタディ・ツアーとは一線を画したレベルで構想されうる。ただし、専門家の関心の押しつけに学生は近づかない。学部学生向けの臨地教育は、自らの専門と、かれらを惹きつけることができそうな関心との妥協点に設定されることになる。東南アジア研究者は、自らのキャリアを活かしつつ、「ふつうの」大学生に向けてどのような臨地教育プログラムを構想しうるのか。本報告では、いま述べた東洋大学の臨地教育を事例としてこの問いを検討してみたい。

    ２１世紀にはいり、社会のグローバル 化が深化しているといわれている。 グローバル化という言葉には、その前 提として、国境を定める近代国家という社会システムの存在が不可分なもの として含まれている。しかし、その一 方で近代国家の成立以前より人々は移 動と越境を繰りかえしてきた。そして、 現代社会は、こうした越境の人々を巻 き込みながら、新しい文化複合を生み 出している。今回のシンポジウムでは、漂海民・華 人・島嶼民を対象にフィールドワーク をおこなっている３人の研究者が、それぞれの研究成果をもとに、近年の社 会変容も含め、近代的な国民国家の背 後に伏流する越境の文化を語る。

    サマ・バジャウ（以下、バジャウ）人は、マレーシアのサバ州・インドネシアの東部・フィリピンの南部の三カ国に跨って居住する。本報告では、このバジャウ人の民族集団としての生成過程のダイナミクスについて、比較の視点から検討する。 3か国すべての人口をあわせたバジャウ人の総人口は約110万人。100万人程度の人口規模の民族が、これほど広域に拡散している例は、島嶼部東南アジアでは他にみられない。広大な海域での拡散居住とあわせてバジャウ人に特徴的なことは、3か国いずれの人口もバジャウ総人口のうちの一定の割合を占めていること、つまりバジャウ人はいずれかの国に集中的に分布しているわけではないことである。本シンポジウムのテーマとの関わりで興味深いのは、バジャウ人の社会的・文化的位相や、民族集団としての生成・再編の様式が上記の３か国で様々に異なっていることである。また、バジャウ人の民族再編は、1990年代以降のグローバル化ないしインドネシアの民主化の潮流のもと、従来にないかたちで展開しつつある。そのあり方にも国家間での差異がみられる。 本報告の目的は、3か国を単位とする国家間比較を念頭におきつつも、まずはインドネシアとマレーシアの事例を取りあげて、バジャウ人の民族生成・再編の過程を比較検討することにある。具体的には、まず１）インドネシアにおけるバジャウ人の生成・再編の過程を、植民地化以前から国民国家成立以降までの時間軸で通観し、その連続性と非連続性を検討する。ついで２）１の過程をマレーシアにおけるバジャウ人の生成・再編の過程と対照させ、両者の過程にみられる異同（主にマレーシア側の独自性）を示す。そのうえで、３）1990年代以降のグローバル化状況における民族再編メカニズムの、インドネシア、マレーシアそれぞれ独自性と通地域的な共通性をも展望してみたい。
  • From Tortoise Shell to Grouper: Marine Resource Exploitation and the Making of Maritime Creole in Wallacea  [Invited]

    My research is concerned with the marine resource exploitation and its significance in the making process of “maritime creoles” in Wallacean Sea. In Insular Southeast Asia, sea-oriented peoples of varied origins have occasionally emerged or formed a maritime creole. The Malay are a well-known sea-oriented ethnic group of which ancestors are of highly hybrid in nature. The Balangigi who were once recorded as pirates in the western literature may also be such a creole group. The proposed research pays special attention to the Sama-Bajau as the maritime creole. Through the analyse, it aims at understanding 1) patterns of their marine resource exploitation, 2) structures of the fishing and trading networks of the marine products and 3) socio-ecological characteristics at a certain maritime environment where the maritime folk have maintained and reconstructed highly hybrid natures in relation to the formation of their community and identity. With an approximate population of 1,100,000, many of the Sama-Bajau live along coasts and on islands. Their settlements are dispersed widely over the southern Philippines, coasts of Sabah, Malaysia, and eastern Indonesia. They constitute one of the most distinctive maritime folks in Insular Southeast Asia. It is in my understanding less significant to seek their “true” origin from the historical essentialists’ viewpoint, as the Sama-Bajau and the neighbouring communities are supposed to have constantly converted their ethnic identification from non-Sama-Bajau into Sama-Bajau, or vice versa. Their marine resource exploitation and network formation are considered to be a key to understanding the making process of the Sama-Bajau as a maritime creole. The discussion will focus on the use and trade of sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricate and Chelonia mydas), tropical trepang (Holothuriidae spp.) or live groupers (Plectropomus leopardus and others), which have been exported exclusively to the Chinese markets. The Sama-Bajau have long and most intensively been involved in the fishing of these products in Southeast Asia. The study pays particular attention to the cases of the Sama-Bajau in Kangean islands, East Jawa and the other parts of eastern Indonesia, although it partially refers to the cases of the Sama-Bajau in Sulu Archipelago, the Philippines and Sabah, Malaysia. The Kangean islands are situated at the nodal point of major sea routes, i.e. Jawa Sea, Makassar Straits and Flores Sea. The study is mainly based on the statistical and spatial data, such as censuses or GIS, and the fieldworks which I have conducted among the Sama-Bajau villages since 1995.

    研究代表者の赤嶺は、2021年6月中旬より7月末まで共同船舶株式会社が所有する捕鯨母船日新丸（8,145GT）に乗船し、同社が21NP-1Wと呼ぶ、三陸沖におけるニタリクジラ漁を参与観察する機会を得た。途中7月9日より7月16日まで捕鯨船第三勇新丸（742GT）に移動し、ニタリクジラ13頭の探鯨と捕獲・渡鯨に立ちあい、日新丸船団がおこなった探鯨から捕獲、渡鯨、解剖、パン立て、急冷、出荷にいたる全工程と、総勢110余名におよぶ船団の安全運行のために甲板部・機関部・司厨部らが作業する一部始終を学ぶことができた。「現場に立つ」ことがフィールドワークの基本であり、その意味で「捕鯨」という現場と「航海」という現場のふたつの現場を体験したことは、捕鯨史を再解釈するうえで有意義であった。2019年6月末に日本が国際捕鯨委員会を脱退し、同年7月より排他的経済水域内における捕鯨を再開して3年目の操業に参加したわけであったが、①2019年度に入社し、調査捕鯨を経験していない乗組員が3割弱に達すること、②製造部の新卒者の離職率が高く、さまざまな技術継承が問題となっていること、③冷凍ではない生鮮肉を仙台に水揚げし、あらたな鯨肉市場を開拓しようとしていることなど、共同船舶としても大きな変革期にあることがあきらかとなった。長津は宮城県三陸沿岸を中心にマグロ漁業の展開と外国人依存の歴史過程に関する聞き取り調査をおこなうとともに、同テーマについてインドネシア・中ジャワ州に住むインドネシア漁船員にオンラインでインタビューを実施した。大元は生産地と生産者の持続可能な水産物の適切な流通経路と規模の調査のために、あらたに島根県隠岐の島における学校給食での島産水産物の供給状況の調査を開始し、特にコロナ禍における小規模水産物生産者の需要の低下に際し、より緊密な関係性をもつ新規供給先の開拓が必要なことをあきらかにした。

    本研究は移住先と移住送り出し元（出身地）を往復して実施され、船員または水産加工労働者として移住労働をする（していた）インドネシア人へのライフヒストリーおよび質問票による聞き取りと観察に依拠するものである。ところが、新型コロナ・パンデミックが収束せず、2020年度に引きつづき2021年度にも、台湾（移住先）とインドネシア（移住送り出し元）での海外調査は実現しなかった。また、日本（移住先）での調査活動も、思うようには進められなかった。 2021年度は、(1)過去の科研費プロジェクトの枠組みで実施したフィールド調査の再検討を通じて、現在の課題をより深く掘り下げる、(2)オンライン調査で新しいデータを収集するという2つの方法により、メンバー各人は研究をおこなった。その際、研究代表者の間瀬朋子は〈帰還移民が担う社会的資本のフィードバック・ループ〉、研究分担者の小池誠は〈モスクで繰り広げられる移民漁船員の組織化〉、同じく長津一史は〈マグロをめぐる海民のグローバルヒストリー〉、同じく合地幸子は〈技能実習生の再来日〉を、研究の切り口にした。 とくに長津は、近海・遠洋漁業に従事するインドネシア人漁船員の就労歴に関する聞き取りやアンケートを宮城県気仙沼市と宮崎県日南市で実施し、新データを数多く収集した。台湾、韓国、スペインでの就労経験を持つ漁船員に対してはオンライン聞き取り、気仙沼市の水産加工場で働くインドネシア人技能実習生に対してはアンケート調査も実施した。質問票は、間瀬と合地が作成したものがもとになっている。滞日インドネシア人との交流会「気仙沼インドネシア・デイ」（2021年11月）には、長津を筆頭に間瀬と合地も関わり、同地のインドネシア人漁船員や水産加工労働者との信頼醸成に努めた。 これらの活動で得た内容を報告や論文として発表するための準備は、現在進行中である。

    Many migrant workers in the fish industry and fishing vessels come from Indonesia. We can safely conclude that the socio-economic importance of these workers focusing on the aspect of their returns is as follows; Indonesian migrant fishers tend to be a job-hopper. They generally want to get higher wage levels and better working conditions, proceeding step by step to drift from Taiwan to another destination. Relation with the host society is a big determinant of timing of their returns. To obtain information of subsequent careers, they often access their networks built in their working countries. After their returns, they will try to get a better measure to earn a living with savings piled up in working countries (But savings will not definitely insure their subsequent careers in the case of technical trainees in Japan). Frequent brief returns and communication technology help them keep their connections to the community of origin and be reintegrated smoothly after their returns.

    The territories of Australia's northern waters consist of multilayered boundaries of the 'traditional' subsistence spheres, the state's territorial borders and deterritorialized functional borders. This study examined the trans-border activities of various social groups in the region, which revealed the different permeability of the boundaries and the conflicts among them. The traditional inhabitants have adjusted their livelihood by migrating to more suitable places for their subsistence activities and / or changing the commodities that are traded. They have little sense of belonging to the nation-state and have exhibited flexibility in changing the social boundaries. On the other hand, indentured laborers adapted to the local society as 'others' by maintaining their social relationships among themselves. Although 'stowaway' asylum-seekers have been labeled as 'dangerous others', the counter-discourse has evolved in Australia which promotes their inclusion in to the society.

    Many Japanese regional researchers mainly go abroad and owe a lot to their overseas collaborators. In this study, we have invited collaborators from overseas to Japan to work together with us on area studies in Japan. We invited them to conduct regional researches in different parts of Japan, so that we could share the same goal. We started to explore the problems. Just as we have been taken care of from our co-researchers abroad, Japanese researchers took care of them, and together we were to create new research targets. We have reviewed the fundamentals of area studies from the perspective of true collaboration. The returning the courtesy generates mutual fulfillment, a sense of collaboration and new relationships. The reciprocal action between Japanese researchers and their collaborators reconstructed as it is in the community will be an opportunity for a new era of area studies.

    The purpose of this study was to clarify the current state of degradation and conservation of ecological resources from the Southeast Asian maritime world to the Eurasian continent, and to explore future measures. During the 4 years research period, we conducted extensive research on ecological resources, mainly agarwood, tea, cattle breeding, forests, and tourism. The use of each ecological resource was forced to change due to external pressures, yet still maintained a unique approach to strength the peculiarity of the areas, which is not the case in other parts of the world. Research on the marine resources of Southeast Asia and the ecological resources of Bajau, the history of destruction and the forest of Vietnam and Indonesia, and the forest certification system were all compiled in the publication of “Ecological Resources” edited by Yamada, Akamine and Hirata, Showado, 2018.

    This research project was divided into five groups (Headquarters, European Seas, Indian Ocean, Maritime Southeast Asia, and Seas around Japan) to prepare for full-scale research from April 2018 based on history, culture and society. It aims to explore how to solve and/or avoid the conflicts in the past. Each group deepened the understanding of the overall picture of this research project and exchanged opinions with other groups. Hayase wrote for "WASEDA ONLINE" entitled "From the Sea of Conflict to the Sea of Commons" in Japanese and in English and concluded in this essay as follows: "If they allocate their military budget for disputes to a budget for protecting the environment and natural resources instead, their people will be able to enjoy the blessings of the sea and live better lives. If we can demonstrate academically how to effectively improve the sea and transform it from the conflict into the commons, academics can contribute to the settlement of these disputes."

    Our project conducted the fieldwork studies on maritime people in Island Southeast Asia, mainly in Indonesia (Sulawesi and Northern Maluku Islands) to analyze the historical process of appearance and development of maritime people and their society/culture in Island Southeast Asia. In our temporal result, we provide our hypothesis that such people and societies might appeared as proto-type in Neolithic times in Southeast Asia based on our ethno-archaeological data. On the other hand, our anthropological and geographical study on the contemporary maritime people and their networking in Indonesia collect active and detail data of their networking process and system including migrations and tradings in maritime world. Based on these discussion and data, we are planing to publish a book about maritime people and their maritime network societies in Southeast Asia and Pacific in this year.

    TThe establishment of modern states in the Arafura Sea region resulted in the "territorialization" of the adjacent waters, and the generation of various forms of maritime borders. These “borders” have divided local socio-economic spheres, and triggered transborder migration. Although the transborder activities were “illegalized” from time to time, people in the region have reshaped their social networks and accommodated their subsistence activities, while keeping their shared customary knowledge. The “boundaries” which were incorporated in their societies and built into relations with other local groups have had to be reconstructed. By examining the discrepancies between the “borders” as exercises of states’ jurisdictions and the traditional “boundaries” embedded in local activities, this study has investigated such issues in Border Studies, and pointed to directions for further research in the field.

    Certain wildlife such as whales and elephants has became a charismatic eco-icon for environmental protection movement since 1970s. Currently, tourism making use of such wildlife and their habitats gets attention. This research project made critical reviews on processes of such wildlife eco-icon were created and highlights importance of conservation of peoples' knowledge and cultures on natural environments including such wildlife, which could be resources for tourism. Our research aims at practicing multi-sited approach and thus we organized an Inter-Stakeholders Dialogue (ISD) at Luang Phabang, Laos, inviting local NGOs, administrators, tourism stakeholders to take a comprehensive view of future of tourism in Luang Phabang in November 2016.

    The study group made a list of house utensils which are thought to be necessary goods for a family life in the region, and collect data of such house utensils in the various regions in Indonesia. The list contains the basic house utensils amounting 75 goods, including cloths, kitchen utensils, house and furnitures, sanitary goods, and so on. During 5 years research period, each member of the study group conducted field research with visiting 60 more households to collect data on house utensils. The visited households spread throughout Indonesia, and some tentative data-collecting were conducted in Thailand, Singapore and The Netherlands. The collected data in document and photograph were shared among the study group and were used for comparative analyses and discussion.

    The purpose of this research is to clarify the changing process of eco-resources in the remote area of Eurasian continent and Asian maritime world and to find the characteristics of both areas. For instance, agarwood in tropical forest resources, sea cucumbers in maritime world, milk products in pasture resources are precious resources which have been over exploited after the 2nd world war and getting scarce and difficult to manage by the pressures from large countries and international treaties. We have to secure those resources sustainably by bottom up efforts of the local people. In four years, field works have been done in many remote areas and found good examples of sustainable way of resource management by the small network societies. Roles of the harbor cities like Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok are extra important for the future management of eco-resources. Results were published in 20 books and over 100 papers.

    The project aimed at examining dynamics of interface societies through an approach from Area Infomatics in order to establish, based on the present attempt, Southeast Asian Maritime Infomatics in near future. It focused on the Sama-Bajau as maritime folks and their population flow, resource exploitation and inter-ethnic relations. In the project, members 1) systematically collected and integrated data such as demographic censuses or geographic information of the maritime folks in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, 2) compiled database and case studies on the interface societies formed by the maritime folks 3) made a foundation of methodological approaches of Southeast Asian Maritime Infomatics, and 4) showed the ethnographic products using the data of the informatics.

    The present world called environmentalism pays more attention to the protection of marine wildlife such as whales and tunas and marine conservation has become the international political issue. The present study looked into the way of life that people use of the wildlife and they make a living depending on it. This study established the Indigenous Commercial Rights (ICRs) and examined its elaboration and the validity of the ICR concept and analyzed a social system designing to guarantee the sustainable use of such wildlife.

    An analyses of aquatic species listed in the Appendix I and II of the CITES revealed that after 2000, the Conference of the Parties (CoPs) listed the commercially exploited aquatic species such as sharks. This probably indicates food security can be an obstacle to wildlife protection. Similar cases would be that an African elephant protected in the national parks damages the neighboring farming field. The sustainable use of wildlife needsmultidirectional examination.

    Experiences as migrants in the globalized world are giving various choices to contract workers' life plan regardless of man and woman. Among return migrants, we can find those who invest their fund in a new business, or those who try to use funds even for social welfare activities, without consuming their funds for temporary purpose such as one for new housing. Migration today has got more systematically organized than traditional type of migration, and has been ruled by migration industries. But, according to our finding, even in such conditions, migration today gives many opportunities to emerge kinds of new entrepreneursamong migrants.

    This research project aimed at comparatively exploring dynamics of the development processes among the Sama(Bajau) as a marginalized society in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia since the 1960s. The development processes were closely related to the national policies. Meanwhile, the development projects have been arranged in highly globalized circumstances since the 1990s. In the latter process, the Sama became more conscious of their social status than previously, and begun to organize various social activities to de-marginalize themselves in all the three countries. We have depicted the cases of this social phenomenon and examined the local historical contexts.

    This research project aimed to examine and compare the dynamics of historical process in which the transnational communities have been formed or reorganized at the peripheries in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Based on data on migrations and social practices of the transnational actors, we attempted to show the characteristics of their social networks at micro, mezzo, and macro level. The case studies revealed that we may well contrast the patterns of(re) formation of the transnational communities in the two studied areas, when we understand the differences of ecological setting as well as historical meaning of nation-state between the two areas.

    The purpose of this research activity is to figure out the depletion situation of rare ecological resources by ecological disturbances, understand the changes of those utilization by traditional techniques, and then attempt to construct a new strategy for the conservation of damaged ecological resources. During the 4 years activities, all research members surveyed about the current situation and changes of ecological-resources. See "4. Research results" for details. In the whole, the decrease and degradation of ecological-resources are severely ongoing over the world, the traditional techniques for those utilization are also drastically changed and drained. These phenomena are closely related to international economy balance and political structure. The new concept "Eco-politics", which means "Ecological-human influential relationship accompanied with regal rules", is proposed as a new strategy for the conservation and reparation of damaged ecological resources. The eco-politics means "Ecological-human influential relationship accompanied with regal rules".

    Precious maritime resources such as tuna fish, grouper fish, sharks fin, sea cucumber which have been exported to outside world from Southeast Asia, are the one of the main keys to trigger population movement within Southeast Asia. The project investigated formation processes of highly "mobile" maritime communities within which capitals, materials, and information have been dynamically traded. Global environmental agreements (GEAs) such as CITES and CBD not only play an important roles to conserve wildlife in marine eco-system but also such agreements often collapse intangible fishing cultures or heritage. The project paid attention to relationship between environmentalism and local practices in search for better collaborative relationship.

    In Asian Countries, including Japan, we can find the existence of two great Law Culture. First, 'the Traditional Order Model', which was created under the influence of the Old Chinese Culture. Second, 'the National Statute Law', which was introduced from European Countries. At the viewpoint of the Law History, we had various academic studies about the process of the collaboration of these two Law Cultures. Recently we find the great influence of "the Islamic Law" as the third impact on Asian Countries. For example, the population of the Islamic believer (Muslim) has increased explosively. in the South East Asia area like Indonesia, Malaysia and Bangladesh. Furthermore it has become impossible to ignore their influences even in Buddhist countries, like Myanmar, Thailand and Laos.So we examined how old two Law Cultures, 'the Traditional Order Model' and 'the National Statute Law', collaborated at the expansion of the influence of the Islamic Law. We investigated this phenomenon in Middle East area and a South Eastern Asian area. According to the comparison of these two area studies, we could understand the real process of the collaboration of the old two Law Culture due to the change of the trend of social order.Sometimes the Islamic Law stimulates the exising two Law Culture, but usually they coexisted in the South East Asia Area. We find that they collaborated in the both towns and villages of various'countries. On the other hand, in the Middle East area, the Islamic Law gropes to collaborate with 'the National Statute Law', which are arranged in the European countries. In this way, it is possible to conclude the new Law Culture is being formed in the South East Asia area and the Middle East area.We made some presentations at academic society, published some academic articles and publication to announce the result of our academic research project.

    地球上のさまざまな地域で定着性沿岸資源のおおくは、これまで地域社会による固有ルールによって共同資源管理がなされてきた。しかし、市場圧力はもとより、生態環境の悪化、過疎化や高齢化などの要因から地域による共同管理の枠組みがうまく機能していていないケースもみうけられる。他方、生物多様性保全への国際的な関心のたかまりから、非当事者である人びとが、地先資源の管理についても発言権をましているのが、現実である。たしかに1970年代以降の環境主義の時代において生物多様性の保全を目的とした資源利用への規制は、説得力をもつようにみえる。それは、生物多様性の恩恵を享受するのが「人類」であるからである。しかし、問題は、抽象的な人類ではなく、個別文化をせおった人びとが、ひとしく生物資源の多様性の恵みをあずかることができるような社会システムが存在していない点にある。本研究では、上記の視野にたち、沿岸資源の代表として近年、中国で消費が拡大している干ナマコに着目し、東南アジア、日本、香港、中国におけるフィールドワークから、国境をこえた生産者や流通業者、消費者といった資源利用者らを「当事者」ととらえ、それぞれのアクターが、資源利用に関して、どのような認識をもち、どのような実践をおこなっているか、それぞれのアクターをむすぶノードの実態をあきらかにした。とくに、従来は商業機密により、香港を中心とする流通ネットワークについては、詳細が把握されていなかったが、本調査により、香港の乾燥海産物輸出入組合が、定着性沿岸資源の持続的利用を意識し、世界の取引先をまきこみ、漁業者らへの資源管理の必要性をうったえていることが明らかになったことは、本研究の大きな成果のひとつである。今後は、香港を中心としたこれらの流通ネットワークの史的発展をふまえた詳細な検討が必要である。

    Since the 1960s, many countries of Southeast Asia have undergone rapid and drastic changes under developmentalistic regimes. Many studies have been carried out about these changes, but peripheral worlds in these countries, exposed to developmental policies since the 1970s, have relatively been neglected in these academic endeavors. The present research project tried to ameliorate this void. In particular, the project aimed to understand changes in three types of peripheral worlds, namely, minority, border space, and gender, in three Southeast Asia countries of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines which had for a long time been under strong development-oriented political leadership.Research activities of the project included overseas fieldwork, library research, and once-a-year seminar. The overall compilation of research results led to the printing of a voluminous research report. The research report consists of four sections. In the first section "Overview of Developmental Processes in Island Southeast Asia," developmental policies pertaining to minority, border space, and gender are reviewed historically for the three countries in question and relevant documents on the topics are compiled.

    This project main goal was to explore the socio-cultural structures and dynamics in the 20th century Wallacean world that includes the southern parts of the Philippines, Sabah in Malaysia and the eastern parts of Indonesia. It especially focused on the everyday life of maritime peoples of the area, the maritime networks that developed there, and the kinds of border policing that the governments of Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines tried to implement to regulate these communities and networks.The research team conducted individual and join field investigations and archives research. Members of the team also exchanged findings and analyses with members of the Indonesian Institute of Science. In these exchanges with our Indonesian colleges, we presented the following points :1) a historical outline of the major themes of the research, i.e., the interaction between everyday life of peoples there and policing in these regions2) the development of resident registration and immigration control,3) changes in the livelihood activities of people and communities, the flow and outcomes of migration within the Wallacrea region, and the impact of the use of resources related to development policy.In the March 2004, seven members of the project presented and discussed the result of research conducted in the three years at an international workshop in Jakarta. The presentation aimed at sharing the team's growing understanding of the socio-economic and culture dynamics in the Wallacean world, particularly as these related to the enclosure of lands and seas by modern states and by colonization or nationalization of peoples' lives.

    During the three-year project period, seven Japanese members and two overseas participants were involved in field-based research, centered on their respective field sites. In addition, members were able to extend their research both in time and space, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar and Laos, as well as conducting library research in the U.S. Through this research, we were able to conduct basic research on the historical processes of inter-ethnic relationship and mobility as well as religious dynamics and cultural reconfiguration. By extending our temporal and spatial perspectives, we have been able to include comparative perspectives. At the end of each fiscal year, we met to check on our framework and orientation.Against the background of the rapid changes in the past three decades, which have been caused by the global fluidity of capital, people, and culture, it is no longer possible to work solely from the perspective of a nation state. With this in mind, we have looked across national boundaries with the key concepts of inter-ethnic relationship, mobility and cultural reconfiguration, so as to better understand the processes of change in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious region. By so doing we have been able to re-position each our own previously held understanding of local issues, to a larger systematic understanding of social, political and economic changes. By mutual interchange of ideas, each of us was able to depict the inter-ethnic relationship in the construction of nation state, and further realize and depict that by factors such as religion and introduction of globalized economy, such dynamics cannot be understood within a singular nation state framework.
