| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The major findings of this study that has analyzed the scholarly activities of the four committees (i.e., the Committee on Political Behavior, the Committee on Comparative Politics, the Committee on National Security Policy Research, and the Committee on Economic Growth) established by the Social Science Research Council after the Second World War are as follows. First, while the purpose of the activities of these committees were partly geared toward the production of the "Cold War social scientific knowledge" that could serve the state, it also had a genuinely academic motive of constructing general theories on human political/economic/social behavior as well as on state action. Second, despite their scholarly endeavors, these committees were not ultimately very successful in constructing such general propositions or theories which they originally aimed for. However, the activities of these committees became instrumental in breaking down the barriers around traditional disciplines.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
第二次世界大戦後の米国における社会科学研究は、通説的見解においては専ら国家に奉仕する「冷戦的学知」として性格付けられてきた。本研究では戦後社会科学研究評議会によって創設された社会科学各ディシプリンの研究促進を目的として設立された４専門委員会（「政治行動委員会」、「比較政治学委員会」、「国家安全保障研究委員会」、「経済成長委員会」）の学術研究活動に着目して一次史料を用いた分析を行い、その結果、これらの専門委員会の活動は単に「冷戦的学知」の構築というものに留まらず、人間／国家行動に関するモデル化／一般理論の構築という学問的動機を色濃く有していたことを明らかにした点にその学術的意義がある。
