Research Abstract |
Three capitalistic countries of the East Asia namely Japan, Korea and Taiwan had experienced rapid economic growth since the agrarian reforms that each country underwent after the WW II. Those agrarian reforms abolished the feudalistic system and established peasant or family farming. But this reform made the land ownership by each farm family small and medium. Therefore, the agrarian reform and the system had been the foundation of capitalistic accumulation without proper agrarian development in East Asia. However, the universal thesis on "economic growth and agriculture" has not been made clear. Specifically, the cases of both Korea and Taiwan often have been regarded as the aspects of the phase of time lag with Japan. This study was undertaken to consider the transfiguration of the peasant and the rural society in Korea and Taiwan (established by the agrarian reform) through statistical analysis and investigation. The method of analysis and the key findings of investigation are as follows. (1) The viewpoint of comparative analysis on the agrarian structure in East Asia has been proposed. Concretely, it has been made clear that the contemporary relation of Korea and Taiwan with Japan is necessarily based on the historical analysis. (2) The viewpoints of the family farming and rural society (based on the "economic growth and agriculture") have been pinpointed. The community was found to have retreated whereas, the relation of native place and the blood relation was found to be important in Korea. The pattern of giving up farming is an outcome of rural-urban migration in Korea, while the same was result of considering farming as a side business.
