The Debate on Poverty in Parliamentary Egypt 1930s-1952.

在获得这笔赠款的两年期间，我在第一年访问了埃及两次，第二年又访问了埃及两次，以收集报纸和期刊等研究材料，并与埃及的研究人员讨论该主题。在日本，除了查阅东京大学东方文化研究所收藏的埃及议会记录外，我还阅读了我收集的材料，并写了两篇文章。文章的第一部分讨论了关于限制持有大量农业用地的争论，我认为这场争论在20世纪40年代非常普遍，参与辩论的大部分人都支持土地改革的想法。我在2002年9月于德国美因茨举行的第一届中东研究世界大会上提交了一篇关于这一主题的论文。我在第二篇有关贫穷辩论中思想的相互影响的文章中指出，不同政治立场的人在形成自己的贫穷论点时，彼此之间有很大的影响。我还列出了埃及国家图书馆和开罗美国大学图书馆保存的20世纪20年代至50年代埃及出版的报纸和杂志，以及埃及国家档案馆保存的同一时期制作的主要来源。我还根据与埃及历史学家的讨论，为我的下一个项目写了一个研究计划，即农民对贫困的看法，并开始寻找研究材料。

During receiving this grant for two years, I visited Egypt twice in the first year and again twice in the second year in order to collect research materials such as newspapers and journals and discuss the subject-matter with researchers in Egypt. In Japan, besides consulting Egyptian parliamentary records housed in the Institute of Oriental Culture, the University of Tokyo, I read the materials I collected and wrote two articles. The first of the article discussed the debate about limiting the holding of large agricultural land, where I argued that the debate was wide-spread in the 1940's and the large segments of participants in the debate supported the idea of land reform. I presented a paper on this subject at the first World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies held in Mainz, Germany in September 2002. In the second article dealing with the mutual influence of ideas in the debate on poverty, I pointed out that people in different political stances were intensely influenced each other in the course of formulating their own arguments on poverty. I also made lists of newspapers and magazines published from 1920's to 1950's in Egypt held at the Egyptian National Library and the library of the American University in Cairo, as well as a list of primary sources produced in the same period held at the Egyptian National Archive. I also wrote a research plan for my next project on the views of Peasants on poverty based on the discussions with Egyptian historians and began to look for research materials.
