Purpose and Significance of the Research
(In brief) By conducting the research, the University would be able to create its specialty.  

The research focuses on using “minority” as a mean to give a clearer picture for the image of “Nation and Society” from the vision of diverse citizen (Global Citizen).

What has been perceived as the “darkness” in the formation of “a Nation-State”, in particular, solving the problem of minorities, cannot be excluded from creating the vision of the 21st century –Nation.

Therefore, firstly, research on the topic of nation-state (discusses the present national concept of the “Global Citizen” and the “Global Citizen” concept from the point of view of the society) ; specifically,

① Develop and continue the research on minority of non-western states (mainly Asian States) based on current achievements.

② Reexamine the minority problem of the multiculturalism nations; for example, Canada, Australia.

③ Conduct an in-depth research of the North America or the European Ethnic problems, separately from the research on minority.

Secondly, evaluates the new concept of “minority” from the broad sense of “minority”.  Moreover, not only the problem concerning the broad or narrow sense concept of minority, but also both “the controlling and the being controlled” parties; their tug-of-war relationship and way of living, must be taken into consideration.

Thirdly, building the interdisciplinary research of minority and center for minority research, in addition, creating the global network of minority research.
