| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Has globalization made social space more homogeneous or more diverse? This study contributes to this question by identifying the reception of the concept of "territory" in Japan. Territory spatially delimits human society and fundamentally defines our behavior. This concept expanded from Europe with the modern state system, and the world was spatially unified as an apparently "international society". However, research on how territory was accepted and how it redefined human behavior in cultures such as Japan, which originally had different socio-spatial concepts, has not progressed. In recent years, research on the history of concepts across cultures has advanced in international politics in the English-speaking world, and this research has yielded many results, especially in terms of theory, including articles in international peer-reviewed journals. This has also led to overseas collaborative research.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
この研究は、近年、国際政治学のみならず社会科学で広く関心を呼んでいる「知識の産出」についての貢献を目指したものである。日本は明治維新以来、西洋の知識を吸収し、アジアの中でいち早く独立国家となった国である。日本人が知識をどのように吸収してきたのかという問題は、国内では様々な形で取り組まれてきた古い問題であるが、この問いはこれまで、海外の研究の文脈の中に、特に現代の国際政治の問題を考えると言う意義を持って、位置付けられることはほとんどなかった。この研究はこのことを目指し、それを英語で研究、発表することにより、グローバルな知の循環における日本の位置を再考した。
