| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
The researcher will continue to investigate this research problem, but in 2014 he will focus on the relationship between poverty and conflict in post-Socialist states of Central Asia. All fieldworks will employ the “focus group” interviews as a method of data collection, because it provides wider possibility for the analysis of group behaviour and perception.
The researcher has started to process the collected data at the moment (April 2014). By June-August he is planning to start publishing his preliminary findings and promote the newly generated ideas among the academic community.
