Research Themes

  • Comparative studies in Eurasian Jewish History
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    01 Apr. 2012 - 31 Mar. 2015
    TAKAO Chizuko, NOMURA Mari, KOMORI Hiromi, NAKASHIMA Takeshi, HARA Teruyuki, TSURIMI Taro, WOLFF David, SHULATOV Yaroslav, MIYAZAWA Masanori
    This research focuses on the Russian refugees from the 1917 Russian revolution and Civil War, and Russian Jewish questions and anti-Semitism in Manchuria in interwar period. Particularly, we explore the anti-Semitism that spread to Japan during the period of the Siberian expedition, the development of Russian fascism in Manchuria under Japanese rule, and the expansion of Zionist movement in Siberia and Manchuria. This project also aims to clarify the role played by Japan and the Soviet Union in the Jewish refugees question on the eve of the Holocaust.

  • "The Role of Returnees from Sakhalin in the Multiculturalism of Hokkaido"
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    01 Apr. 2011 - 31 Mar. 2014

    The following points were clarified by the research project "The Role of Returnees from Sakhalin in the Multiculturalism of Hokkaido" (JSPS Grant Kiban B, 2011-13): 1. Returnee policy in Japan is carried out within the framework of the nation-state. It is a policy for Japanese people who had previously failed to return. However, 2. The young generation returnees have multi-layered identities and represent a multilingual and multicultural reality. Their multicultural living space extends over Russia, South Korea, and Japan.3. The policy of the nation-state is based on the existence of a single language and a monocultural living space. Inevitably, some families become separated. Furthermore the problem of the integration of returnees into Japanese society is also generated.

  • Restructuring of the International Order
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    2008 - 2012
    IWASHITA Akihiro, ISHII Akira, ITO Toru, YOSHIDA Osamu, WOLFF David, NAKAI Yoshifumi
    The results of this research project was to analyze the influences that great powers in Eurasia such as Russia, China and India have on the international community, and to review the kind of new order that the international community will form with these regional powers. It did not simply look into the diplomatic strategies of those three countries, but also shed light on how the existing world order tackles the challenge offered by the Eurasian powers.

  • Construction of Modern Eurasian Jewish History
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    2009 - 2011
    TAKAO Chizuko, HARA Teruyuki, WOLFF David, NOMURA Mari, NAKASHIMA Takeshi, KOMORI Hiromi, AKAO Mitsuharu, TOMITA Takeshi, TSURUMI Taro, MIYAZAWA Masanori
    Based on a new framework of Eurasian Jewish history, we made the research on Jewish Diaspora and refugee/DP questions before and after Holocaust with focus on the Far East and Manchuria where Russia/Soviet Union and Japan had conflicting interests. The research was conducted mainly on archival sources located in Japan, Russia, Israel and the United States. Public lecture meetings and workshops were held in 2009 and 2011 by inviting foreign scholars.
