This research project is intended to a comparative study on Japanese and American colonialism and colonial policies, based upon recent works on colonial/post-colonial studies in each national framework. Initially, while keeping Japanese colonial rule over Taiwan and Korea in mind, I investigated American colonial policy toward the Philippine Islands. Particularly, I concentrated on collecting and analyzing primary materials and basic works on so-called “Benevolent Assimilation" policy starting in 1898. Through the research, I found that since empirical studies on American colonial rule over the Philippines needed to be developed, I focused more on collecting basic data on bureaucracy in the U. S. colonial administration.Thanks to the intellectual interaction with some representative scholars in the field of American colonialism, including Prof. Paul Kramer, I came to realize that the nature of colonial rule appeared in the bureaucracy within the colonial administration and the legal ap … More plication to their colonies. And “constitutionalism" is a vital parameter for comparing the American colonial policy to the Japanese one. Especially, through the process to establish the American and Japanese colonial administration respectively in the Philippines and Twain, I conduct a thorough investigation on constitutional background of colonial policy. At the same time, I tried to situate Japanese colonial policy in an international historical context. As a tentative conclusion, I argue that American and Japanese colonial policies are the product of the historical stage of late 19th and early 20 century. The commonalities of both colonialisms indicate that they were in a new international historical phase. Therefore, the analysis requires an transnational framework, which is hardly found in the existing studies.I was on a sabbatical leave from the academic year of 2007 to 2008. While being a visiting scholar at the Harvard's Yenching Institute, I was able to finish a book-length manuscript of this study. Less

本研究项目旨在根据各国最近的殖民/后殖民研究成果，对日本和美国的殖民主义和殖民政策进行比较研究。最初，我在考虑日本对台湾和韩国的殖民统治的同时，研究了美国对菲律宾群岛的殖民政策。特别是，我集中收集和分析了1898年开始的所谓“仁慈同化”政策的原始资料和基础著作。通过研究，我发现，由于对美国对菲律宾殖民统治的实证研究还有待发展，我更多地集中在收集美国官僚机构的基本数据上。S.通过与美国殖民主义领域的代表性学者保罗·克雷默教授等的思想交流，我认识到殖民统治的本质表现在殖民行政内部的官僚机构和法律的应用上， ...更多信息 他们的殖民地。而“宪政主义”是比较美国和日本殖民政策的重要参数。特别是通过美国和日本分别在菲律宾和吐温建立殖民行政机构的过程，对殖民政策的宪政背景进行了深入的考察。同时，笔者试图将日本的殖民政策置于国际历史的背景下进行考察。作为一个尝试性的结论，笔者认为美国和日本的殖民政策是19世纪末20世纪世纪初这一历史阶段的产物。这两种殖民主义的共同点表明，它们都处于一个新的国际历史阶段。因此，分析需要一个跨国的框架，这在现有的研究中是很难找到的。在哈佛燕京学社做访问学者时，我完成了一本书那么长的论文。少
