| 研究実績の概要 |
In 2018 the PI continued to engage in a review of relevant literature, legislation, ministerial ordinances, policy reports, academic articles, etc., paying particular to new developments concerning both, 1) the creation of the "specified skills" residence status in Japan (特定技能) and its implications for the monitoring of foreign nationals, and 2) the ramifications of BREXIT on immigration and residence policy in the United Kingdom, with particular focus on how the millions of EU citizens, who had hitherto been beneficiaries of free movement and residency rights, would henceforth be "managed" as third-country nationals.
In pursuit of relevant information and discussion, the PI attended international symposiums concerning border/boundary control(e.g., Border/Boundary Control in the Age of Transnationalism: Comparing Experiences in North America, EU, & Japan <Hitotsubashi University>, October 2018), gave a lecture on this topic at the Nagoya University Law School(July 2018), and made preparations for a survey trip to the United Kingdom, which was actually implemented in April 2019. In addition to the above, the PI published a short commentary in 『移民政策のフロンティア―日本の歩みと課題を問い直す』、明石書店、2019年1月，p. 24.

3: やや遅れている
理由
The PI is also responsible for managing this University's student exchange programme, and a number of unforeseen but critical issues surfaced in AY 2018, which required urgent attention and were given priority.
Nevertheless, the PI has been able to continue to lay the requisite groundwork for successfully continuing this project in 2019, starting with an on-site survey in the United Kingdom. In addition to the research trip to the UK, which has already been implemented, concrete plans are also underway to give a speech at a consortium symposium in June 2019, to be followed by further lectures and field-trips in late summer (see below).

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
The overseas field-trips that the PI originally planned to conduct in FY 2018 have, for unforeseen reasons, had to be postponed until FY 2019. (One such field-trip has already been conducted in April 2019.)
Overseas research is intrinsic to the pursuit of this research and, as such research requires substantial funding, it has been necessary to request that the unused portion of the PI's FY 2018 research budget be transferred to FY 2019.
