Outline of Final Research Achievements

Longstanding conflicts in East Asia have been reproduced through the dichotomous lens of Westphalian modernity. This research develops an original and non-dichotomous approach as "political healing." It engages with East Asian medical thought and practice through various case studies from the perspectives of Asian philosophy, religious studies, political science, and postcolonial studies. The research members propose that the aforementioned conflicts can be understood and treated as diseases of a shared body politic. The research findings are published as a special issue (volume 45, issue 6) of Third World Quarterly (2022 Impact Factor 2.0). The principal investigator serves as its guest editor and contributes to three of the nine articles.
