| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project demonstrates how the inter-imperial network contributed to the development of coffee production in Taiwan during the Japanese occupation. The inter-imperial network played a significant role in transporting coffee plants and production skills into Taiwan, a part of the Japanese Empire, from Hawai'i under the control of the US Empire. It also proved that the movements of Japanese people who were involved in coffee farming in Hawai'i helped establish this network.
This research attempts to provide a new perspective in the fields of Japanese Imperial History and Immigration History. Both historical studies oftentimes examine movements within or to the outside an empire, whereas movements between one empire to the other empire have been rather disregarded. Therefore, by focusing inter-imperial network, this research has revealed multi-directional and trans-imperial migrations of people, skills, knowledge and capital in the pre-war Pacific region.
