| Outline of Research at the Start |
This project reveals the role of think tanks and other involving actors in forming policy recommendations that may exert their political influences informally on foreign and security policymaking. It closely examines think tanks' discursive contribution for shaping foreign and security policymaking.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project investigated the connection between think tanks, the ideas, and how these ideas affect international relations in which think tanks may influence security and foreign policy decisions. To understand this, the concept of "hegemony" was explored, which was used to analyze the ways in which think tanks shape security and foreign policy. In the first year, it focused on understanding the links between the ideas produced by think tanks, how knowledge is created. In the second year, discussions and reports were analyzed to see how think tanks influenced policies related to the Indo-Pacific region and the international liberal order. Finally, in the third year, this project looked more deeply at how the United States and Japan view China's role in the international liberal order and the development of the Indo-Pacific region by examining reports and events organized by think tanks. All of these findings were presented at academic conferences and lectures.
