| Research Abstract |
This research project is an original attempt to chart the comparative dynamics of nationalism and regionalism across Europe and East Asia. On the whole, it has made three contributions to the field of comparative regionalism. Firstly, based on the fieldwork conducted in China, Singapore, Thailand and South Korea, the research has looked into the complex configuration of nationalism in East Asia. Secondly, the research adopts a bottom-up perspective to study nationalism in a comparative setting. In-depth case studies have revealed the oft-neglected roles of nationalism in mediating the process of regional cooperation and integration. Thirdly, the research has expandedthe theoretical scope of existing literature, and initiated a new research agenda on the relationship between the state and regionalism.
The outcomes of the project include three peer-reveiwed journal articles, three book chapters, and nine research presenatations delivered at the academic conferences held in Japan, Argentina, Australia, and the US.
