(1)研究目的

For next year I have two main purposes for my research. The first is to finish and submit my edited research monograph on Regional Security Complex Theory and the Indo-Pacific. This book project will be completed by a project research team that I created with scholars from several leading universities around the region. The second purpose is to compare Japanese and EU approaches to the regulation of IUU fishing in both Thailand and Vietnam.

(2) 研究の意義

In both cases the research output will be significant. Regarding RSCT, we will produce an important and regional analysis, updating theoretical concepts, and updating the analysis of case studies. For IUU fishing, I expect to publish a Q1 Scopus journal article which would offer original theoretical analysis of new political developments in both Thailand and Vietnam.

(3) 運営方法

In terms of management method, we will submit a full book proposal to Routledge in early April, and we will complete the book manuscript by May. This will involve doing a substantial copyedit and revision of the submitted chapters. For the IUU fishing project, I have applied for funds to carry out this research from the JSPS bilateral partnership fund, in partnership with a team of researchers from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand. I have also applied for an ‘ordinary’ kakenhi kiban C award.

(4) 期待される成果

I fully expect to have published a major new book on RSCT and the Indo-Pacific by the end of the calendar year at the latest. I also hope to have a new Q1 Scopus journal article on IUU fishing accepted by the end of the academic year in March 2027. I also have one journal article submission under review with another Q1 journal, Global Policy. I expect to receive a decision about whether this article will be accepted in April 2026. Lastly, I have just applied for a Jean Monnet Chair award from the European Commission. If successful, this funding would allow me to do research on IUU fishing as well.
