18Field Science Center (FSC)Islam in Southeast Asia: Dynamics of Transnational Networks and Local Context Studies (ISEA)Field Science Center (FSC)The Overseas Scientic Research Coordination Team (OSC)The ISEA (Islam in Southeast Asia: Dynamics of Transnational Networks and Local Contexts) project primarily aims to demonstrate the inherent nature of Islam in Southeast Asia, which is becoming more and more socially inuential in local contexts, and to examine the effect of transnational Islamic revival, which originated in the Middle East, Islamism, and other related trends in local culture and society in the concerned areas, that is, their two-dimensional (local and transnational) relationship and dynamics. Further, detailed explanation is intended about the possible inuence of such local and transnational dynamics on the public domain in a wide sense including politics, economy, conicts, peace building, and so forth, through collaboration of researchers and persons practically involved in multiple elds (history, anthropology, political science, international relations, jurisprudence, religious studies, and so on) including specialists in Middle Eastern affairs. ISEA is organized under “Project to Promote Responding-to-Needs Type Global Area Studies” framework newly established by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology which began in October 2006 as a 4-and-half-year program.For further information, please seehttp://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/fsc/isea/Since 1975, the Overseas Scientic Research Coordination Team has been engaged in establishing cooperative relationships, both among concerned researchers and institutions conducting overseas scientic research, and between researchers and MEXT/JSPS.The head ofce of OSC is placed in the Field Science Center of ILCAA, and ILCAA academic staff have been coordinating its activities together with researchers and academics from various institutions.OSC is constructing a web of Japanese eld researchers working in various parts of the world and building a database of overseas scientic research activities, in addition to organizing an annual “OSC forum” when around 100 researchers meet at ILCAA from all over Japan to exchange information of their concerning elds of study.Activities of OSC are now funded by the Grant-in-Aid for Scientic Research (A), 2006-2009.For details, please see the following website:http//www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/~gisr/index.htmA scene of workshop in OSC forum.
