• Comparison of Foreign and Defense Policy in Germany and Japan after 9/11 (JSPS Grant-in-aid, 2009-2012)

• Survey on Attitudes and Global Engagement (SAGE) 2004

The survey measures individual attitudes towards concepts such as peace, security, risk, and global engagement.The survey is supported by the Center of Excellence (COE) grant of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, and the Thomas S. Foley Institute of Public Policy and Public Service. The survey was being administered in the United States by the Social and Economic Sciences Research Center (SESRC) of Washington State University in October/November 2004.The survey differs from existing public opinion research in that it enables researchers to go beyond the measurement of transitory or contextual phenomena in the sphere of international relations, and allows researchers to incorporate existing and accepted measures of political identity (value sets, social capital, and partisanship) into multivariate analyses.
