Historical Study of the Region and the Interaction between Regions in Asia

本文从地域互动的各个方面进行了分析，包括近代中国时期的军事与商业联系，近代中国时期的政治经济关系，以及近代东南亚的商业、迁徙与永久迁徙、政治与社会交往等。本研究指出了航运、港口和电报网络作为互动渠道的重要作用，并证明了民族主义运动、社会运动和政治运动加速了地区之间的互动。在此基础上，对东北近代中国史研究的重要来源之一《满洲日报》的社论进行了索引，这将对东北近代中国史的进一步研究起到积极的推动作用。例如，正如上村指出的那样，马杜拉是一个农业落后的地区，在本世纪初仅靠自己无法养活相当多的人口，只有通过向东爪哇输出人力和商品，如牛和鱼，并从那里进口粮食，才能使其区域经济发展。同时，马多拉对东爪哇来说也是不可或缺的，因为马多拉为欧洲诸侯国或S人的农业提供了劳动力的短缺。这意味着，仅从农业角度将马多埃拉视为落后地区的传统观点是片面的。对于“区域互动”与大地理单元之间的关系，本研究分析了世界市场对区域经济的各种影响，以及政治运动中中心与区域的联系。

In this study various aspects of the "interaction between regions" were analyzed, including the military and commercial connections in pre-modern China, political and economic relations in modern China, and the commerce, temporal and permanent migration, political and social exchanges in modern Southeast Asia. This study pointed out the important role of shipping, ports and telegram network as the channel of interaction, and proved that the "interaction between regions" was accelerated by the nationalist movement, social and political movements. Further, the index of editorials of the "Mansyu Nichinich Shinbun (Manchuria Daily News)", one of the important source for the study of Modern Northeast China history, was made, which will contribute much to the further study.The "interaction between regions" is one of the most important elements which give the region its characteristics. For example, as Uemura pointed out, Madura, agriculturally backward region and could not support its fairly large population by itself at the beginning of this century, could make its regional economy only through exporting manpower and commodities such as cattle and fish to East Java and importing provisions from there. At the same time Madoera was indispensable to East Java because the former supplied the shortage for labor force to the European etates or people' s agriculture in the latter. And this means that the traditional view of looking Madoera as a backward region judging only from its agriculture is one-sided. Thus introducing the view-point of 'interaction between regions" is supposed to lead to the different perspective of the region itself.As for the relations between the "interaction between regions" and the larger geographical unit this study analyzed various influences of the world market to the regional economy and the connections between the center and region in the political movements.
