With regard to the formation of and change in international and domestic governance caused by the increase in migrants, we will delve into the topics of 1) international environment analysis about migrant attitudes, 2) migrants and identity politics, and 3) welfare policy analysis. We will also conduct surveys on the situation in Asia while realistically analyzing the serious problem of migrant and refugee influx occurring most particularly in Europe. In ordre to analyze the push and pull factors for human movement and the issues related to the political process of the receiving society, the research will be conduted by scholars in such disciplines as political science, international relations theory, economics, sociology, history, and anthropology.
