The political system of the modern Japan state as a nation- empire ; Synthetic analysis on the deployment of the politico-legal system and theory

关于日本民族国家形成的特殊性，有必要考虑引进西方逻辑和制度与继承自日本现有社会制度的处方的交叉点，以及与东亚其他地区的智力联系。然而，与此同时，也存在着一个令人困惑的问题。这就是说，我们如何也理解这样一个事实，即这个明治国家和西方一样在亚洲拥有殖民地。在我看来，到目前为止，对民族国家的研究完全回避了民族国家作为殖民领土占有者的问题。尤其需要考虑明治国家的二元性的意义：即在成为民族国家的过程中被殖民拥有，即使仍然处于可以被称为婴儿期的形式，它也成为了殖民帝国。在本研究中，我将从这样一个角度出发来思考民族国家形成的经历是如何始于日本内部不同民族的统一的，我希望通过关注明治国家作为民族国家和“民族帝国”(Kokumin Teikoku)的双重性质来澄清其特殊性。在这一点上，该项目将通过名为“思想链”的框架来解释，即法律和政治的理论和体系从西方传到日本，从日本传到中国和韩国的过程。

Regarding the particularity of the Japanese nation-state formation, it is necessary to consider the intersections of the introduction of Western logic and institutions with prescriptions inherited from established social institutions in Japan, as well as intellectual links to the rest of East Asia. At the same time, however, herein lies a perplexing problems. That is to say, how are we to also understand the fact that this same Meiji state possessed colonies in Asia just as the West did. In my view, studies of the nation-state up to the present, have completely avoided addressing the problem of the nation-state as a possessor of colonial territories.It is especially imperative to consider the significance of the Meiji state's duality : namely that is held colonial possessions while in the process of becoming a nation-state, and that even while remaining in what might be called its infantile form, it became a colonial empire.In this research I will proceed from such a perspective to consider how the experience of nation-state formation, which began with the unification of different ethnicities within Japan, expanded and adapted itself to the colonial situation.I wish to clarify the particular character of Meiji state through attention to its double nature as both a nation-state as a "nation-empire" (kokumin teikoku). At that point, the project will be to explain through the framework called the "chain of thoughts", the process by which theories and systems of law and politics moved from the West to Japan and from Japan to China and Korea.
