Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research is to investigate possible problems in the process of the development of legal and administrative institutions to deal with codscoss-nationalnational family disputes in Japan. After Japan's accession to the implementation of the Hague Child Abdication Convention, international parental child abduction by Japanese nationals has been recognized as the most serious and complicated issue to condor the best interest of the child in the increase of so-called global families. While acessing its institutional support of the state and increasing awareness of the welfare of the child of cross-national families in Japanese society, this project attempts to analyze remaining issues of cross-national families, in an emphasis of the structural status of migrant women and their children in this transnational intimate sphere.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では家族観が国境や社会を超え再帰的に変容=制度化している「グローバル家族」の問題を社会学的に扱う。公正に基づくグローバルな制度の中で不可視化されていく、移民女性の格差問題の構造を明らかにする実証的研究としての独創性をもつ。ここでは現在社会でも広く認知されているハーグ条約問題を中心に据えることで、研究成果の公開において日本・海外で与えるインパクトを十分に期待できる。グローバル化を背景とした個人・移住者コミュニティ・国際的な制度的枠組みの関係性において新たな研究領域を構築する。
