Gold mining issues in Loei Province (Australian capital), development projects in the Myanmar Special Economic Zone, and and the collapse of the Sepien-Senham Noi Dam in Laos (South Korean capital) have been done as a case study.① Organizing the process in chronological order, ② Investigating the current situation and background of the damage to livelihoods and the environment, ③Information collection and data analysis on project entities as well as tracking the response by the national and local governments.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

国策に翻弄される「地域」は周縁化され、「中央政府」によって「植民地化」され、様々な負の遺産を押しつけられてきた。水俣では、水銀の垂れ流しによる環境破壊、健康/生活被害、タイ・ルーイ県では金鉱山開発による環境汚染、自給的暮らしの破壊、ミャンマーでは、経済特区としての大規模開発による強制移転、生活破壊。しかし、被害者・当事者による「命の尊厳と社会正義」かけたレジリアントな異議申し立てが、住民主体の自立した暮らしの再構築に向けた道を開き、「域外責務」の履行と「環境民主主義」を確立するための基盤となることが、社会的困難に向き合う多様なステークホルダーによって共有されていることが明らかにされた。
