1. Topics and Contribution to the Global COE Program Ars Vivendi
（1）Topics, Objectives and Impacts
Western historical sociology and anthropology have systematically studied how nations "invented" nationality and citizenship in order to manage people by separating citizens who are subjects of various rights, and non-citizens who cannot enjoy those rights. This project aims to analyze the strategies in which migrants and indigenous people have used multiple nationalities and citizenships in the end in the limited condition of management and control, in addition to conventional study the transition of their management systems. All research members in this project have studied immigration control and conflict over nationality and citizenship between the state and people in such cases as Nikkei Brazilians, trans-nationality of the Filipinos, the right limitation on the Palestinians in Jerusalem and the right demanding movements of Zainichi Korean in Kawasaki City in Japan. This project is significant and unique because it can comparatively analyze moves of the controlling side on nationality and citizenship, and the controlled side of those who protest such controls, or those who take advantage of such nationality and citizenship systems to survive. We are proud of our comparative study in wide range of cases related to nationality and citizenship, and our studies are more academic and more global than other research projects on passport, etc. of other universities
（2）Contribution to the Global COE Program Ars Vivendi
We believe this project can contribute to Ars Vivendi program, which aims to "envision the way they may live in the future and presents projects for an ideal society and world" by constructing the comprehensive arts and social sciences studies without fragmenting such individual fields as care, welfare, medicine, migrant workers etc. In order to do so, this project focuses on the nation's control on people with nationality and citizenship and the protests of the controlled people.
2. Research Plan, Method and Publication of Research Products
First, we re-examine the previous studies of TAKASA Tomomi, BRUBAKER, BENHABIB and others, who studied how the western modern nations have created citizens who can enjoy their rights and non-citizens who cannot, among people in their territories as they constructed their nation states as this has been examined in the areas of law, history, sociology and anthropology. We would like to some particular budgets for books so that each researcher can keep them for further analysis.
Next, we deepen our understanding and exchange information on how migrants and indigenous people protest the national control, and how those people survive in the control and management systems by using multiple nationalities and/or citizenships in the end. we will use some budget to conduct survey in Japan when necessary.
Then, we plan to invite outside scholars in November to hold a seminar using parts of the budget. To summarize, we plan to issue a Research Center Ars Vivendi Report which includes our papers and project reports.
