Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the 1930s, Japan and China experienced several armed conflicts, resulting in the Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937-41. These armed conflicts developed in a unique way: in spite of their severity, neither Japan nor China officially declared war until 1941. This put Japan, particularly the status of its occupation policy in China, in an ambiguous legal position. Since a war had not been declared, Japan did not have the legitimacy to occupy China. This research discusses the impacts of this non-declaration over the Japan’s occupation policy in Central China, focusing on the policy of Reformed Government of the Republic of China and Wang Jingwei Regime.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日中戦争期に華中に樹立された中華民国維新政府・汪精衛政権による現地支配が具体的にいかに進展したのかを、海関行政や貿易政策などを事例に明らかにした。さらに、そのような「事実上の政府」による支配に対して、イギリスやアメリカなどの国々や中国の現地で活動していたイギリス人やアメリカ人が示した反応を実証的に明らかにした。これにより、宣戦布告を行っていない時期の日中戦争下の占領地支配は、極めて制約的な条件下で進展しており、そのような制約の構造は太平洋戦争開戦に伴って取り払われたことを指摘した。
