Research Abstract	This study collects a variety of ideas concerning the economic aspects of the"Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere," and makes clear their characteristics. Among the numerous introductions to the products of each region, the discussions also presented differing views on the means of arranging agriculture and industry, giving them a component of active discussion. The differences between the issues to which each political actor gave priority resulted in the diversity of the group's plans. These issues related to operational matters at home and in the Sphere.
