The Kobe University Monograph Series in Social Science Research is an exciting
interdisciplinary collection of monographs, both authored and edited, that
encompass scholarly research not only in the economics but also in law, political
science, business and management, accounting, international relations, and other
sub-disciplines within the social sciences. As a national university with a special
strength in the social sciences, Kobe University actively promotes interdisciplinary
research. This series is not limited only to research emerging from Kobe
University’s faculties of social sciences but also welcomes cross-disciplinary
research that integrates studies in the arts and sciences.
Kobe University, founded in 1902, is the second oldest national higher education
institution for commerce in Japan and is now a preeminent institution for social
science research and education in the country. Currently, the social sciences section
includes four faculties—Law, Economics, Business Administration, and
International Cooperation Studies—and the Research Institute for Economics and
Business Administration (RIEB). There are some 230-plus researchers who belong
to these faculties and conduct joint research through the Center for Social Systems
Innovation and the Organization for Advanced and Integrated Research, Kobe
University. This book series comprises academic works by researchers in the social
sciences at Kobe University as well as their collaborators at affiliated institutions,
Kobe University alumni and their colleagues, and renowned scholars from around
the world who have worked with academic staff at Kobe University. Although
traditionally the research of Japanese scholars has been publicized mainly in the
Japanese language, Kobe University strives to promote publication and dissemination of works in English in order to further contribute to the global academic
community.
