Supervision Interests

I welcome research proposals that address transnational regulation and governance across the topics of trade/business, sustainability, and digitalization (e.g., sustainable supply chain management, private certification schemes, circular economy value chains, smart cities, traceability and data sharing).

My current students are looking at areas such as "Battery supply chains and the EU's circular economy initiative" "Smart cities in Asia" and "The use of digital sequence information of genetic resources and global governance".

The following is the titles published / achieved by the students in my lab:

• "A comprative analysis of various benefit sharing mechanisms concerning digital sequence information of genetic resources"（遺伝資源に関するデジタルゲノム配列情報の利益配分－多様な各種規範の比較分析）
• " Factors Influencing the Agri-food Sector's Acceptance of Global Environmental Protection Norms"（農業・食料分野における地球環境保全規範の受容要因 ―食料安全保障レジームの変容）
