Profile

  •   What kinds of challenges must the international community overcome in order to become more stable, peaceful, and just? And what role should Japan play in this process? My research seeks to address these questions by integrating two distinct yet complementary approaches: a historical approach centered on the history of international relations, and a theoretical approach rooted in the social sciences, particularly institutional analysis.


      At the same time, I am strongly interested in the domestic political conditions that underpin stable engagement with the international community. In this context, I am gradually preparing a study that examines both the failure of political liberalism in prewar Japan and its subsequent establishment in the postwar period. This project also aims to combine historical analysis with theoretical perspectives from the social sciences.


      Through these efforts, my long-term goal is to produce research that not only meets the standards of historical scholarship but also offers meaningful insights for scholars engaged in theoretical analyses of international relations.
