Outline of Final Research Achievements	Through analyzing structurally the ways in which political and diplomatic leaders, citizens, media, and scholars, who are responsible for the national emotions, are involved in the memories and universal values shared by the people, we discussed how to imagine reconciliation among the people. It was concluded that the factors which form a nation are conflicting in history issues. The concepts of "reconciliation as an act" and "reconciliation as produced," "domestic reconciliation" and " nation-to-nation reconciliation" were distinguished. Also, "government-to-government," "citizen-to-citizen," and " nation-to-nation " three levels of reconciliation were conceptually categorized as well. Akashi Shoten published a six-volume "Reconciliation Studies Series" and the International Association for Reconciliation Studies was established in cooperation with major universities in Germany and the United States. Annual conferences are being held in Germany, Japan, the U.S., and Rwanda.
Free Research Field	国際関係学
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	解明されたのは、民主主義を国民民主主義として機能せしめている要素（国民に共有される記憶・感情・価値）が、国際間のソフトパワーとなって、歴史問題を東アジアで発生させるメカニズムであり、国際社会学、比較政治学、国際関係学をまたぐ現象である。民主国家における言論の自由を前提とした社会において、共有されべき記憶が国内で論争される中で、記憶が普遍的価値と結びついてナショナルなものを肯定する働きや、歴史解釈権の独占という概念も把握された。学者次元での共通理解は、いずれ社会的に共有され、国民感情を対象化し冷静に管理しつつ、他方で論争しながらも共に社会を進化させていく国際的体制の構築に貢献するであろう。
