The Study on Japanese Colonial Policy for Taiwan through the analytical research of the Documents of the Government-General of Taiwan

台湾总督府文件是研究殖民台湾最基础的资源，通过对这些文件的研究，我们想要了解日本殖民政策是如何在日本帝国政府的统治下策划和执行的，同时也想通过对台湾总督府文件的分析来建立殖民台湾的档案学。特别是，由于我们不是用立法的方法，而是用实证的方法来分析日本对台殖民政策，我们的主要主题是如何通过对文献的分析来理解日本对台殖民政策的结构和决策过程。所以，我们得出一些结论来描述下面。第一，日本对台殖民政策是在大日本帝国政府的强力控制下进行的，台湾总督府只是一个执行机构。其次，台湾总督的法定立法权被限制为制定适合台湾的法律法规。这意味着对台湾强制立法的公认理论还有检讨的余地。第三，我们认识到台湾总督府的文件是现存的唯一档案，因此我们可以建立一个新的日本档案学领域来研究官方文件的结构和过程。为了建立这一新的领域，我们与来自行政学、日本近代史和实绩学等各个领域的学者合作，对这些文献进行数据库的建立。

Though the research on the documents of the government-general of Taiwan, which is the most fundamental resources for the study of the colonial Taiwan, we want to make clear how the Japanese clolonical policy was planed and executed under the Imperial Government, and also analyze the documents of the government-general of Taiwan to establish the science of archives on colonized Taiwan. Especially, as we do not use the legislative approach but positive approach to analyzed the Japanese colonial policy on Taiwan, our main thema is how to understand the structures and the processes of policy-making through the analisys of the documents.So, we reach some conclusion to describe below. First, the Japanese colonial policies on Taiwan was under the very strong control of the Government of Imperial Japan, and government-general of Taiwan was mere exective organ. Second, the manded legistantive power of govenor-general of Taiwan was restrictived to legislate the law and rules proper to Taiwan. This means there is room to review the accepted theory on manded legislation of Taiwan. Third, we recognize that the documents of the government-general of Taiwan is the only one archives in existence, so we can establish a new field of the Japanese archival science to examine the structures and processes which the official document was maked. And to establish the new field, we co-operate many scholars from various area, such as administrative science, modern Japanese history and achivist, to make database on these documents.
