拝啓皆様におかれましては、ますますご清栄のことと心よりお慶び申し上げます。平素は格別のご高配を賜り、厚く御礼申し上げます。
このたび、科研費基盤研究（B）「紛争の民衆的基盤と技術的基盤：原因論と解決・回避のための規範論」、同若手研究（B）「近年の通常兵器規制の特質と背景：安全保障研究と歴史研究の連携を目指して」および明治大学国際武器移転史研究所の共催にて、2018 年 3 月 28 日（水）に国際セミナー「武器の入手可能性と暴力との関係性」を開催する運びとなりました。
このセミナーでは、安全保障研究者・実務者と人類学者、歴史学者による学際的研究を通じて、武器の入手可能性と暴力との関係性を考えます。より具体的には、このテーマに関する過去 25 年間の先行研究や政策論議の歴史を辿り、アフリカの牧畜民に関する人類学研究や、日本の事例に関する歴史学研究が、「武器の入手可能性と暴力との関係性」をめぐる先行研究や政策論議にいかなる修正を求めるのかを検討します。
軍備管理・軍縮からアフリカ地域研究、歴史学、人類学まで、幅広いご専門の皆様のご参加をお待ち申しております。
ご多忙中恐縮でございますが ご臨席賜れば幸甚でございます。
略儀ながら書中をもってご案内申し上げます。何卒宜しくお願いいたします。

Relationships between Arms Availability and Violence
Is there a relationship between the level of arms flowing into a society or domestic
proliferation on the one hand, and the level of conflict and armed violence on the other?
In which conditions do arms inflows or domestic proliferation lead to arms misuse?
These questions will be discussed on Wednesday, 28 March 2018, at a semi-closed
seminar titled, “Relationships between Arms Availability and Violence.” In this seminar,
we will review debates on these questions that have taken place over past 25 years,
introduce new case studies, and present new lessons learnt. We will focus our attention
on two cases that are often mentioned in arms control literature but are still underresearched: the “intensification of conflict” in East African pastoralist societies after
influxes of arms, and the “success” of sword-hunting and firearms control in Japan.
Based on historical and anthropological research, the panel will decode the existing
myths concerning these cases, present new findings, and discuss new ways tounderstand these issues.
Our guest speakers will be Nicholas Marsh, Research Fellow at the Peace ResearchInstitute Oslo (PRIO), Itsuhiro Hazama, Associate Professor at Nagasaki University andToru Sagawa, Assistant Professor at Keio University.
