Joint Research with Washington State University
Coordinator: Norihiko Suzuki
Associate Coordinator: Shin Chiba
In International Christian Universityfs application for the COE Program, we made the formulation of a unified theory on gPeace, Security & Convivialityh in international cooperation a goal. As one part of such cooperation, ICU entered into a collaboration agreement with Washington State University (WSU) in the US. Together the schools will build an all-encompassing collaboration in which teachers and researchers working on the same themes (e.g. Peace Studies, Sociological Surveys and Statistics, Gender Studies, and International Cooperation) can conduct joint research, publish the results in series, and thus elicit the worldfs opinion.
In September 2004, as a joint research project, a group of about 10 researchers
from both universities will attend a research meeting at Washington State
University. Following their meeting, they will announce what history, contents
and problems each of the three outlines gPeace, Security & Convivialityh
have in the respective fields, and by clarifying resemblance and diversities
their findings will serve as a point of departure for a formulation of
a unified theory. Likewise, WSU and ICU will successively promote a wide
variety of joint research.
We plan to publish the results as a series from a US publisher.
