The Research of Historical Sociology concerning the Mobilization of people and the modernization of Japan : based on the mobilization of colonial population under the Total War System

本研究从动员力量（包括民间劳动力和军队）的角度来看待日本的现代化进程。本研究旨在探讨世纪日本发展的消极影响（战争和殖民）和积极影响（民主、经济增长和人权）之间的一致性。在第二次世界大战（亚太战争）期间，日本殖民统治下的韩国国民作为劳动力的动员是该项目的具体重点。由此得出的结论是，日本动员朝鲜人的方式不应该是单纯的暴力和威胁，而应该是政府理性的某种方式。

This research views the modernization process of Japan from the aspect of mobilized forces(both civic labor and military). It aims to find the coherence in the negative(war and colonization) and the positive(democracy, economic growth, and human rights) effects of Japan's development in the 20th century. The mobilization of the Korean nationals as labor forces under Japan's colonial rule during World WarII(Asia-Pacific War) was specifically focused in this project. Then it has come to the conclusion that Japan should be considered to have mobilized Koreans not by means of pure violence and threat, but rather of some method of the governmental rationality.
