Comprehensive Research on the Systems, Policies, and Operation of Japanese Colonial Rule in Korea and Taiwan

为了从历史的角度揭示日本对朝鲜和台湾殖民统治的特点，本研究对这两个殖民地进行了全面的研究，并对它们进行了比较，注意到它们的差异。例如，从台湾的户口调查簿和朝鲜族的民籍簿的特点来看，殖民地的人口登记制度是如何建立起来的。我们还考虑到朝鲜和台湾在更广泛的“日本帝国”中所占的重要地位，这一点在对帝国内部机器生产和流通的统计检查中尤为明显。近年来，有关日本殖民统治的史料越来越多地被公开。通过在日本现有的材料之外使用这些材料，我们能够提高我们的实证研究水平。例如，我们根据有关台湾私立学校设立的文件（台湾国家档案馆），阐明了台湾总督府教育政策的实质，并通过这些活动，深化了有关日本殖民统治历史的国际学术交流和讨论。

In order to shed light on the characteristics of Japanese colonial rule in Korea and Taiwan from a historical point of view, this research proceeded by approaching both colonies comprehensively and by comparing them, keeping in mind their differences. Areas covered ranged the spectrum, and included politics, economics, the police and military, education, culture, etc. For example, by examining the characteristics of the Taiwanese household survey register and the Korean peoples' register, it became clear how the colonial census registration system was established. We also considered the important position occupied by Korea and Taiwan in the wider "Japanese Empire," which became particularly clear in the statistical examination of the production and circulation of machines within the Empire.In recent years, historical materials on Japanese colonial rule have increasingly been made public. By using these materials in addition to those available in Japan, we were able to increase the level of our empirical research. For example, we were able to illuminate the nature of the Taiwan Governor-General's education policy based on documents relating to the establishment of private schools in Taiwan (housed at the Taiwanese National Archives).Through these activities, we were able to deepen international academic exchanges and discussions about the history of Japanese colonial rule.
