| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study revealed how people tackle issues that were not managed well through the market by investigating efforts made for the provision of "public goods" in the early modern economies from the perspective of comparative socioeconomic history. The study revealed that the emerging "regional society" based on the loosely integrated unit of village played a significant role in complementing or even substituting the task of public goods provision in Japan. Setting this Japanese case as a benchmark, the case studies on Prussia, England and China clarified the diverse methods of public goods provision among societies. This result is expected to relativize the role of state, as well as the perspective of the argument about the "fiscal state" in the early modern period, proposing a rather different picture to the traditional framework of comparative history that has been inclined to measure the distance from "advanced" Western Europe.
