| 研究実績の概要 |
Overall, the project is going very well. In the past year I made three research trips to Thailand. I have now interviewed a total of 24 experts who work on human rights issues in Thailand, including 2 senior EU staff, and a number of people from global and local NGOs operating in Thailand, and leading Thai universities. I now have a strong and resilient research network in Thailand. I also invited a leading European expert on EU human rights promotion, Anne Weyembergh, to Waseda for a series of workshops in July 2017. In the last academic year I published four articles which address human rights issues, and made six official invited academic guest lectures or paper presentations that were directly related to this research project. I have also found a co-author for two research articles.

1: 当初の計画以上に進展している
理由
After a slow start in the first year, I have made three very productive visits to Thailand, and interviewed more than 20 experts. I now have a good understanding of the major human rights issues that the EU is focusing on in Thailand, and how successful the EU has been. I have translated this progress into academic presentations and draft articles. I have a clear understanding of the forced labor and fisheries issues, and now have two further research issues that I would like to consider. Expanding my human rights focus in Thailand, by researching the EU's work on human trafficking there. Also, studying the EU's death penalty diplomacy in Indonesia. I have found that my research trips are cheaper than I originally budgeted for. I therefore still have quite a lot of budget left to spend.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
I have found a Thai human rights expert who will be my co-author, and we have identified two articles that we can write and submit to leading EU Studies journals. We have a substantial draft of one of these articles, and I have made a number of academic presentations based on this draft. In January 2018 I am organizing a major academic workshop on the EU, ASEAN and human rights at Waseda, and I will invite experts from Thailand to this workshop. In March 2018 I will attend a major workshop in Brussels to report my research findings and the outcomes of the January workshop to an academic and policy audience. I have made a book proposal to a Routledge book series, based on this project research, and have been invited to submit a draft book manuscript for consideration once it is finished.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
In the final year of the project, as mentioned in previous answers, I would like to make research trips to extend my knowledge of EU engagement with human rights cases in Southeast Asia. I am particularly interested in investigating human trafficking in Thailand, and the death penalty in Indonesia. I will make research trips to these countries, and conduct research interviews with EU delegation staff, local and global human rights NGO representatives, and other experts.
