| Research Abstract |
My research activity under the grant between 2001 and 2003 was mainly carried out for obtaining British Foreign Office Consular Archives (FO228) concerning company registration system from 1916 to 1927 from the National Archives (previously called Public Record Office), and collecting sources from Jardine Matheson Archives at Cambridge University Library. The materials I collected at Cambridge University Library were used for revising my previous journal articles into an independent monograph, The Collapse of the Commercial Order in Traditional China (Nagoya University Press, forthcoming), which will be released soon. Meanwhile, the photocopies of the British Foreign Office Consular Archives were used for writing two Japanese journal articles ('The role of Foreigners' society in Early Republican China" Rekishi-Hyoron, 600, Dec. 2003 ; "A Study of Sino-British Economic Relationship in Early Republican China" Toyo Gakuho forthcoming) and one seminar paper, "British Company Registration System and Anglo-Chinese, Anglo-American Relationship, 1916-1926" (paper presented to the annual meeting of Political Economy and Economic History Society, October 18, 2003, at Kyushu International University), which will be revised into an English working paper for COE-CAS, Creation of New Contemporary Asian Studies of Waseda University.
