Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aims to explore the logic of terrorist designation against a specific armed groups as an alternative to the intentional removal of a specific group from peace process. For this objective, we have worked on (1) developing the database that includes global terrorist designation lists, (2) exploring the logic behind terrorist designation by a state government, (3) exploring the impact of terrorist designation on peace process, and (4) exploring the impact of terrorist designation on terrorist operations. In the first research, we developed the global list comprising of 35 state government lists and IGO (UN and EU) lists. Using the database, we explored the logic behind terrorist designation. These two studies are already published in Journal of Conflict Resolution and Journal of Peace Research. The third and the fourth works are now under review.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究はこれまで特定の国のみを対象に行われてきたテロ指定の影響に関する分析において，グローバルレベルのデータベースを提供することで，本研究分野のさらなる発展に貢献するのみならず，国家によるテロ指定の論理，その影響を定量的に把握することで，これまで経験的，あるいは時宜的に行われる傾向にあったテロ対策において十分な学術的・科学的裏付けを提供することができる。
