| Outline of Research at the Start |
This project offers a transwar genealogy of the Japanese conservative imaginary by focusing on the thought and activities of Nabeyama Sadachika, Yabe Teiji, and Koyama Iwao. It examines how they reformulated ideas about state power and world order from the 1920s to the 1960s. .

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This grant has allowed me to initiate an investigation into the history of conservatism in Japan. I have been able to conduct research in archives in Japan, Switzerland, and the United States. Over the tenure of this grant, I presented my work in progress at 7 conferences. I also produced two journal articles, published in prestigious international journals (Journal of Asian Studies, Japan Forum). Overall, this research has laid the groundwork for the book that I am currently writing.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Conservatism has been a powerful force in postwar Japan, but we know surprisingly little about its history. This study has elucidated the contribution of prewar actors in the making of political conservatism by showing how they recast old ideas in an internationalist framework.
