| Research Abstract |
This research group has focussed in the past two years on problems pertaining to interregional networks of minority groups in the Mediterranean coastal cities, both from a contemporary perspective and the historical viewpoint. In the former case, problems must be considered in the framework of the so-called nation state. Members of the group are specialists in various parts of the Mediterranean world with long time of research experience in the areas concerned. We have especially emphasized the analyzes of residential and occupational situations of the minority groups and the formation of various kinds of minority group organizations. We chose the following groups as research samples : Copts and Jews in Egypt ; Greek orthodoxy minority and Jews in Turkey, Turcs in the western Trace ; Jews, Arabs and Albanians in Italy ; Jews in Morocco ; Jews of different origins in Israel. We have held many interviews with sample informants, and collected source materials necessary to conduct the research. We also, when possible, tried to investigate official statistics. We hold regular monthly research meetings at Hitotsubashi University, in order to exchange opinions and integrate the results of the research of the members into the research scheme of the research group. Regarding the publication of our two year achievements, we are now preparing the publication of our collected papers written in European languages, which will constitute the fifteenth volume of the series of the publications of this research group. Each paper will constitute reports of case studies as well as presentations of comparative viewpoints.
