| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has been largely dismissed by International Relations researchers as a mere cultural organization. Compared to other international organizations, it does not seem an important target of analysis because of its emphasis on culture instead of security and economics. However, UNESCO's projects/programmes occasionally become a battleground of state conflicts particularly in the field of cultural heritage. This research project aims to uncover the hidden links between culture and politics in UNESCO by examining a number of heritage conflicts and controversies in East Asia. The outcome of this research has been published in the form of seven English-written articles and two Japanese-written articles. The principal investigator has also given a presentation at nine international academic conferences. Overall, the research outcome has been well received in English-speaking academia.
