Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the ways in which Japanese language education is situated within Japan’s foreign policy, especially Japan’s diplomatic activities and policies for Japanese descendants overseas, as well as broader cultural diplomacy. In addition to analyzing policy documents, this study also collected and analyzed interview and ethnographic data. Interviews were conducted with the participants of related programs about their life trajectories before participating as well as their perspectives for future; and their interactions during pre-departure training sessions were observed. The analysis of these interview and ethnographic data were combined with the analysis of policy documents, with the aim of examining the relationship between individuals and policies, in particular, the process in which the voluntary actions of individuals become part of policies and the actual impact that policies can have on individuals.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
外交における日本語教育政策研究においては、主にソフトパワー戦略の観点から海外日本語振興政策について一定の知見が積み上げられてきたが、移民送出国家による自国出身海外在住者及びその子孫の活用戦略であるディアスポラ戦略的な側面はあまり検討されていない。本研究では、複数の日本語教育施策の分析を通して言語政策におけるディアスポラ戦略とソフトパワー戦略との相互補完性の検討を試みたこと、また、外交政策の中に位置付けられるプログラムの参加者へのインタビューデータ及び研修のエスノグラフィーデータの分析を深化させ、個人と政策との関係性を考察しようとした点に意義があると考えられる。
