Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、平和構築論で議論されてきた折衷的アプローチについて、先行研究では比較的軽視されてきたアジア地域（東南アジア）の事例分析を提供することで、アジア地域への適用性を確認した。アジアのみならず欧米やオセアニアの研究者との研究交流や理論研究者と地域研究者との対話を通じて、本研究の成果を共有しつつ、研究結果の検証が進めることができた。これが最大の学術的な意義である。また、より効果が高く持続性の高い平和構築のアプローチを提示することで、平和構築に従事する実務家の行動指針となる研究を提供することができた。書籍や論文の公刊を通じて、研究の成果を普及させることができ、社会的意義も高まった。
