| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research develops a theoretical framework that incorporates the voice of local communities in the study of great power rivalry. It examines the impact of US-China rivalry in Marawi City, particularly the local actors' conceptions of US-China competition based on their experience in dealing with both American and Chinese presence in the war-torn area.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Semi-structured interviews and secondary data analysis were used to investigate Malawians' perspectives on the government's response to the siege of Malawi. Based on the data collected and the literature review, an innovative theoretical framework was presented to inspire future research on transnational and non-traditional security issues that emphasises local perspectives. The study also has implications for foreign policy in that it motivates national leaders to recognise local actors as a powerful source of information for foreign policy. The project results were presented at a conference and published in an academic journal. Another journal article is currently under peer review.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、国際政治問題の分析において、ローカル・アズ・メソッドと呼ばれる革新的な理論的枠組みを提案し、適用している。本研究は、国際関係における非西洋国家のアクターと、こうした周辺化された国家の地元の人々の重要性を示すことで、グローバルIRの研究に貢献するものである。マラウィ包囲とその余波を現地の視点から検証することで、本研究は意思決定に現地の人々を含めることの重要性を示す。国家間や国家レベルを超えたさらなる研究と政策提言を促すものである。
