Outline of Final Research Achievements

We originally intend to examine the adequacy and efficacy of "Liberal-oriented state-building, but decided to change its focus to "Hybrid state-building" to examine the reality of combining liberal-internationalism and local ownership in state building. In order to scrutinize this topic, we added seven members to the original three. We had the meetings for discussion twice in the first year and also once in the second year. In the third year, we published a co-authored book based on our joint research. In the book, we had three theoretical chapters to examining the validity of "hybrid state-building," followed by six cases, namely, Timor Leste, Sierra Leone, Bosnia, Georgia, Afghanistan and Iraq. In the end, we concluded that the term "hybrid" is the useful concept to understand the reality of state-building but needs further clarification as an analytical tool. In addition to the book, published several academic papers and also made several presentations at academic conferences.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

紛争後国家における国家建設の分野は、実務的にも学術的にも西洋由来の自由主義(民主主義、人権、法の支配など)を理念的中核としてきたが、実際の国家建設の対象はアジアやアフリカなど非西洋の国々が多い。そのため国家建設の方針や方法が現地の実態に合わないという問題があった。これに対し最近は現地の視点を交えながら検討する必要性が主張されるようになってきたが、その多くは、現地の社会により焦点を当てた「ハイブリッドな平和構築」として論じられている。それに対して本研究では、国家制度(特に治安部門)のハイブリッド化に焦点を当てたことが新しい学術的意義である。
