This study examines the transformation of the life world of the urban poor communities in Metro Manila, Philippines brought about by local governance, particularly in the process of devolution of the government since the early 1990s. The current urban governance and the development of indigent communities are characterized by key words such as “self-help”, “community initiative”, and “empowerment”. Despite the contention that such governance can promote a “healthy”, “efficient”, and “productive” community, the process at times subjects the locality to a deepening distinction between “civil” and “uncivil” residents, thus in effect playing out as a governance by inclusion of the former and exclusion of the latter.

This study examines the expansion of the transnational social space and the dynamism of social classes by underscoring the Philippine society’s experience which is characterized by an accelerating ethno-scape achieved through various forms of migration (either as temporary overseas’ contract workers or permanent immigrants). In the age of globalization and accompanying neoliberal governmentality, the social ties and networks which used to be maintained among family, community, and working place are now divided and polarized. Consequently, individualization coupled with inequality and an economic gap is the phenomenon prevalent in various aspects in a society. Faced with this predicament in a contemporary globalizing world, this study, based on ethnographic data collected from concrete field settings, will expound on what features of civil society and public sphere are viable in a contemporary world.
This is a research project entitled “International Comparative Study of the Adaptation Process of the 1.5 Generation Immigrant Children”. 
The focus is on the “1.5 generation” immigrants in the United States. In examining the various interactions and social practices of the 1.5 generation Filipino-Americans in a range of settings such as the school, home, relations with different ethnic groups and social classes in the United States, this study intends to produce novel information and theories which can contribute to an alternative view on multicultural co-existence.

This is a research on various social practices of livelihood strategies characterized by an ecological-environmental element in coastal communities in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines, as the setting. Particularly, 
the focus is on the various migratory behaviors and inter-island networks that are being adopted in order to more effectively utilize marine resources in the vast area of an island society. Further, the study examines the people’s identity construction in the process of their migration by concentrating on various cultural aspects such as folk religious practices, popular beliefs, local knowledge, and folklore.

Focusing on the coastal resource management in the Philippines, this study discusses the relationship between community, civil society, state, and transnational actors such as international NGOs and development agencies. It can be said that resource management regimes, as the modern apparatuses of power and knowledge, exercise “eco-governmentality” under which the people go through a process of discipline and normalization to become rational, or more specifically “eco-rational”, subjects. In other words, it is a process in which a modern Western version of a view on nature and its relationship with human beings has acquired both legitimacy and authority as a truth regime.
While there are burgeoning literature dealing with governmentality and the formation of eco-rational subjects in the age of neoliberalism,the aspect that still needs to be examined carefully is the complexity of the agentive practices carried out in the matrix of power relations among various stakeholders. While being constrained by the neoliberal governmentality of global environmentalism which requires a standardized regime of resource management, the agency of resource users engages in various practices to expand the social space in which an alternative pattern of resource use, that would be more embedded in the setting of the local community, can be made possible.

フィリピンをはじめとする途上国は、グローバル化の荒波にもまれつつ、貧困削減や教育などのさまざまな社会開発、社会政策を試みています。しかし、欧米や日本のような近代福祉国家を経験した国とは異なり、「脆弱な」国家ゆえに抱え込まざるをえない様々な困難があります。特に、今日の社会開発のキーワードともいえる、「アクティブなコミュニティ」や「市民」の創出の過程には、様々な予期せぬ矛盾が隠されているといえます。しかし、その一方で、欧米や日本と同じ道を歩んでこなかったがゆえに、これら先進国が今日直面する「新たな貧困」という難題を解く糸口になるような、可能性や希望も見出せるのではないでしょうか。このような問いを抱えつつ、フィリピン・マニラ首都圏のスラム（都市貧困層地区）に通っています。（写真はマニラ首都圏マリキナ市のフィールド）

1990年代以降地方分権が進むフィリピンにおいては、地域住民の「自助」と「エンパワーメント」を活用したコミュニティ開発が盛んに進んでいる。しかしながら実際の地域社会におけるフィールドワークから明らかになるのは、このような都市統治のあり方が、一方で生産的な労働に従事する「市民」と、他方でそのような生産性を有しない「非市民」の差異を明確化し、後者の周辺化と排除を生んでいる状況である。このような状況は、調査地フィリピンのみでなく、アジア、アフリカの発展途上国の都市においても共通する現象であると考えられる。（写真はマニラ首都圏マリキナ市の調査地）
今日拡大するトランスナショナルな社会空間が、諸社会階層間にいかなる差異性と共同性をもたらしているかという点を、グローバルな人の移動（海外出稼ぎ、移住など）が近年特に加速化するフィリピンの事例から考察している。グローバル化の中で、従来家族、共同体、あるいは職場などが有していた社会的絆や連帯は分断化、細分化され、その一方で格差と不平等を伴った社会全般における個人化が顕著になりつつある。そのような状況の中で、新たな共同性や公共圏の形成はいかにして可能なのか。このような問題を、フィールドワークに基づく具体的な資料から明らかにすることを試みている。
2009年度より共同研究プロジェクト「移民第１．５世代の子ども達の適応過程に関する国際比較研究」（研究代表者：長坂格広島大学准教授）に参加し、フィリピン系移民のホスト社会への適応過程に関する国際比較に基づき、あるべき「多文化共生社会」の制度と理論構築を目的とする研究を進めている。現在、アメリカ西海岸における調査を開始し、特に移民の子供達を取り巻く学校システム、家族関係、他のエスニック集団との関係、アメリカ国内における社会階層関係など諸要因に注目しつつ、「多文化共生社会」の構想のための基礎的資料と知識の蓄積を試みてゆく。（写真はカリフォルニア州サンノゼ在住のフィリピン系移民の人々）
グローバルな環境主義を背景とした資源管理のマクロな統治プロセスと、資源利用者達によって構成されるローカリティの日常世界の接合の局面に焦点を当てつつ、人々が状況依存的に可能な資源利用形態を選び取り、自らの生活設計を便宜的かつ暫定的にではあれ構築してゆく実践を明らかにすることを試みている。このような資源管理における制度化と、その一方での地域社会、コミュニティにおける制度の「文脈化」の過程を、フィリピンの海域資源管理を事例として研究している。（写真はパラワン州の調査地）
島嶼部東南アジアの海域世界に固有の生態的、環境的要因を背景として、いかに海域に生きる人々（主に零細漁民）が生計戦略を立て、実践しているのかという点を、島嶼間におけるネットワークを利用した移動行為に注目して研究してきた。さらにそのような生計戦略とともに、人々のアイデンティティの変容を宗教的実践と信仰、民俗知識や伝承などの諸側面に注目しつつ明らかにしてきた。（写真：漁獲を分け合う漁民達。フィリピン・ビサヤ海域にて）
