Comparative Studies to the Imperial Systems

这个为期三年的联合研究项目旨在将那些在不同生产形式、种族、语言、宗教和文化的基础上实现政治整合的国家作为“帝国体系”来把握，然后通过对该体系内这些因素的比较历史研究来阐明政治整合的各种方式，进而重新评估国家本身的现代意义。我们的第一个研究成果是通过考察准噶尔帝国的文化传统来研究准噶尔帝国的民族和种族团结。第二部分是对大英帝国中产阶级女权主义的分析，展示了英国女权主义者如何利用帝国意识形态和盎格鲁-撒克逊种族优越感来为自己的平等权辩护。第三章以唐代的礼制为例，阐述了“天朝”（中华帝国）的统治方式。第四部分分析了早期现代神圣罗马帝国的帝国制度，通过研究“和平”制度和“宫廷”社会建立在皇帝的庇护关系之上。第五部分是对俄罗斯帝国对西部省份和“波兰问题”的帝国政策的思考，特别是通过对居住在俄罗斯西部省份（前波兰立陶宛领土）的波兰什拉查的教育政策的研究。

The aim of this three-year joint-research project is to grasp those states which realized the political integration on the basis of different production forms, races, languages, religions and cultures as 'the Imperial System', and then to elucidate the various ways of political integration through the comparative historical studies of those factors within that system, and furthermore to reappraise the modern significance of the State itself.The first of our research results is a study of thec national and racial unity of the Jungar Empire by investigating its cultural traditions.The second is an analysis of middle class feminism in the British Empire, which demonstrates how British feminists appropriated imperial ideology and Anglo-Saxon racial superiority to justify their own right to equality.The third is an elucidation of ruling methods of 'the Celestial Empire' (the Chinese Empire) by considering the ceremonies and rites in the Tang Dynasty.The fourth is an analysis of the imperial system of the early-modern Holy Roman Empire, through the study of 'Peace' institutions and 'court' society that was built up on the patronage relationships around the emperors.The fifth is a consideration of Russian Empire's imperial policy toward western provinces and 'Polish problem', especially through the study of its educational policy toward Polish szlacha, who lived in Russian western provinces, the former Polish-Lithuanian territory.
