Common theme: Changes in the regional structure of Northeast Asia: Path toward better co-existence of society from trans-border viewpoint

About this project:
As the joint academic institute, the National Institutes for the Humanities (NIHU) has taken a central role in integrating six humanity research institutes under the funds from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports Science and Technology. With the start of the 3rd Mid-term Plan on April 20, 2016, NIHU has established new subsidiary organizations called gCenter for Information and Public Relationsh and gCenter for Transdisciplinary Innovationh. The former aims for effective communication and publication of research outcome. The latter is to promote and integrate new transdisciplinary projects. The 3rd Mid-term Plan aims to reorganize Area Studies projects NIHU has promoted for the last 10 years, namely gIslamic area studyh, gmodern Chinese area studyh, and gmodern Indian area studyh into garea promotion projectsh under a new organizational system. Through this process, the promotion project for Northeast Asian area studies has been launched as a new Area Studies project. This gPromotion Project for Northeast Asian Area Studiesh will be conducted under the control of NIHUfs Center to Promote Humanity Studies as a part of gPromotion Project for modern Middle Eastern Area Studiesh, gPromotion Project for South Asia Area Studiesh and gPromotion Project for modern Chinese Area Studiesh.

Network for Area Studies of Northeast Asia (from the basic plan of this project)
Area promotion projects are taken as network-based research projects.
