| Research Abstract |
As the results of the four workshops (two workshops at Ritsumeikan University in March 1997 and March 1998, and one at University of Sussex in March 1996, and one workshop in Korea, March 1998) which contained 25 papers, and several field studies (in Europe 1996 and in North-East Asia 1997 and 1998), and also intermediate meetings of joint research members, we reached to have four common remarks as follows regarding our joint research purposes :
1) We surveyed varieties of experiences of the technical assistance programs towards transition societies in Central & East Europe countries mainly centered by PHARE or TACIS.Many universities and research institutes had vital roles as international and regional actors for these transitions, especially in the fields of reconstructing institutional infrastructures or revitalizing small and medium farms, yeilding many types of the public and private partnership.
2) On the contrary, in North-East Asia, social transition processes have been rather slow and mild, which have still remained as periphery international regions as before. It means the necessity for the academic initiative all the more because academic infrastructure itself has the feature as the pillar of social transition and also the bridge of intellectual mobility (international exchange, technology transfer, and so on).
3) But present situations of the academic sectors in this regions remain at primitive stage of partial and usually bilateral exchanges among them, which should become keen actor of the social developments or international exchanges with the perspective of international integration in diversities.
4) Current economic crises in East Asia which so instantly converted from 'East Asia Miracle', need the urgent reconstructing of socio-economic institutional systems which will lead the move towards more stable societies. The intellectual initiatives will have indispensable role to these purposes as in Europe.
