The political system of the modern Japan state as a nation- empire ; Synthetic analysis on the deployment of the politico-legal system and theory

关于日本民族国家形成的特殊性，有必要考虑西方逻辑的引入与继承自日本既定社会制度的制度处方的交集，以及与东亚其他地区的知识联系。然而，与此同时，这里存在着一个令人困惑的问题。也就是说，我们如何理解这个明治国家在亚洲拥有殖民地的事实就像西方一样。在我看来，到目前为止，对民族国家的研究完全回避了民族国家作为殖民地领土占有者的问题。尤其需要考虑的是明治国家两重性的重要性：即在成为民族国家的过程中，它拥有殖民地，即使它仍处于可能被称为婴儿期的形式，它也成为了一个殖民帝国。在本研究中，我将从这样一个角度出发，考虑民族国家形成的经验是如何从日本内部不同民族的统一开始，扩展并适应殖民形势的。我希望通过关注明治国家作为民族国家和“民族帝国”（kokumin teikoku）的双重性质来澄清明治国家的特殊性。届时，该项目将通过“思想链”的框架来解释法律和政治的理论和制度从西方传播到日本，从日本传播到中国和韩国的过程。

Regarding the particularity of the Japanese nation-state formation, it is necessary to consider the intersections of the introduction of Western logic and institutions with prescriptions inherited from established social institutions in Japan, as well as intellectual links to the rest of East Asia. At the same time, however, herein lies a perplexing problems. That is to say, how are we to also understand the fact that this same Meiji state possessed colonies in Asia just as the West did. In my view, studies of the nation-state up to the present, have completely avoided addressing the problem of the nation-state as a possessor of colonial territories.It is especially imperative to consider the significance of the Meiji state's duality : namely that is held colonial possessions while in the process of becoming a nation-state, and that even while remaining in what might be called its infantile form, it became a colonial empire.In this research I will proceed from such a perspective to consider how the experience of nation-state formation, which began with the unification of different ethnicities within Japan, expanded and adapted itself to the colonial situation.I wish to clarify the particular character of Meiji state through attention to its double nature as both a nation-state as a "nation-empire" (kokumin teikoku). At that point, the project will be to explain through the framework called the "chain of thoughts", the process by which theories and systems of law and politics moved from the West to Japan and from Japan to China and Korea.
