Information sources have been acquired and developed by CSEAS to support its research and teaching functions. The holdings of the CSEAS Library have been enhanced by the acquisition of special collections such as materials on Philippine studies and its vernacular languages. The Special Collections are rare, unique, out of print, manuscripts in holograph form, published and unpublished ephemera or fugitive materials.

Previously acquired by CSEAS in another format of special collections from the holdings of the University of the Philippines are the microfilm reels of the Philippine Radical Papers, a collection of documents of militant student, political and religious organizations advocating political, economic and social changes during the Marcos administration specifically the martial law regime. They dwell on the Filipino people's fight against foreign dominion, the establishment, tyranny or oppression. These include street literature of revolutionary change and underground publications.

Notable in the special collections in print are those of two (2) Filipino historian writers namely Ambeth Ocampo and Marcelino Foronda, Jr. Both collections cover varied subject areas ranging from general works, history , the social sciences, languages, science, the arts, even legal materials, studies on Philippine literature, Philippine literature in English, in Spanish and in the vernaculars. There are also materials on religion which include doctrinal and pastoral theology, church history and the religious orders, devocionarios/novenas (prayers), such as triduos or septenas.

Organization entails bibliographic description, classification, cataloging and indexing in accordance with international standards. The materials in English that have been processed are already integrated in Kyoto University's OPAC. For the non-English materials, a finding tool or research guide that contains subjects or access points for literature searches, together with a database is the final product entitled NON-ENGLISH MATERIALS ON PHILIPPINE STUDIES: A GUIDE.. These non-English materials are also being integrated in the University's OPAC. On the whole, this project is geared towards rapid retrieval of information, which will redound to the promotion of scholarship and interest in Philippine and Southeast Asian culture.

In Japan, since 1970s there has been a drastic drop in fertility, as well as a sharp decrease in the married population. The total fertility rate (TFR) reached its lowest point in 2001, at 1.33. While the age at first marriage increased from 24.7 for female and 27.5 for male in 1970 to 28.6 and 30.8 in 2000 respectively. The proportion of never marriage women age 40-45 rose from 5.3 per cent in 1970 to 8.6 per cent in 2000.

It is argued that the main reason for fertility decline in Japan was the rise in the proportion never married women in their reproductive years. In addition, delayed marriage poses challenges to traditional culture, to relationships within family and to aspects of social policies. These include the changing value and purpose of marriage, women`s roles, life style and norms of appropriate women`s behaviors.

This study focuses on the changing attitude toward marriage among never marriage women in Japan. It assesses the trends, life style, socio-cultural aspects supporting delayed marriage and policy issues resulting from the trends in delayed marriage. Information for this study mainly derived from review of literatures and in-depth interviews with Japanese never married women aged 35-45 years and experts on gender and marriage issues in Japan.

「人間の安全保障」は最近10年間に急速に普及した概念です。背景には、冷戦後いよいよ激化する世界各地の内戦や地域紛争、政治的暴力の横溢に対する人々の危機感・焦燥感があります。そして、これまでのように国家暴力装置を強化してフル稼働させるだけでは、何ら解決にならないことへの直感的理解があります。また環境問題や人口問題の急速な進行に対する人々の漠とした不安も指摘できるでしょう。地球社会の安定的持続可能性、人間が人間らしく生きていけることに対する根本的な疑念が生じているのです。

こうしたなかで「人間の安全保障」に関する学的な取り組みは様々に展開されてきました。国際政治学は国家間の安全保障に代わる新たな概念を創り出そうと努力してきましたし、NGOの活動を「人間の安全保障」に関わる市民社会の営みとして位置づけ、理論化する努力もなされてきました。

しかし、人間の安全が脅かされる諸要因や紛争の現実の様態などを、世界各地の現地の社会的・文化的文脈の上に位置づけ、総合的に考究する営みは、これまで組織的には展開されてこなかった、と言わざるをえません。私たちは今、この「地域研究」を通じて、「人間の安全保障」を新たな学として構築する一歩を踏み出そうとしています。個人の生活レベルからグローバルな政治レベルまで、無限の多様性と広がりのなかで「人間の安全保障」をとらえ直す必要があるのです。

今回のシンポジウムは、地域研究は「人間の安全保障」にいかに取り組むべきか、地域研究を通じて「人間の安全保障」のなかにどのような新しい問題が発見できるのか、それはどのように解決できるのか、という見通しを得るために企画されました。

まず第1部では、地域研究の最前線に立つ研究者たちが4つの切り口からこの課題に迫ります。
①地域研究が拠って立つところのフィールドにおいて「人間の安全保障」はどのように立ち現れるのか
②地域研究が必然的に生み出すインター・ディシプリナリーな研究手法は「人間の安全保障」をどのようにとらえるのか
③地域研究が常に問題とする伸縮・重層する地域概念のなかで「人間の安全保障」はどのように映し出されるのか
④「人間の安全保障」を実現する過程で生じる「介入」と、地域研究はどう関わるのか

続いて第2部では、9.11とイラク戦争を通じて深刻な局面を迎えた地球社会をいかにとらえるか、そしてそのなかで「人間の安全保障」はどのように構想されるべきか、という問題について、透徹した視点から優れた文明論を展開する平和学者ヨハン・ガルトゥングさんと、世界各地の人々のまなざしに鋭敏に感応した発言を続ける作家の池澤夏樹さんが、縦横に論じます。それを受けて最後に総合討論を行ないます
