| Research Abstract |
The aim of this three-year joint-research project is to grasp those states which realized the political integration on the basis of different production forms, races, languages, religions and cultures as 'the Imperial System', and then to elucidate the various ways of political integration through the comparative historical studies of those factors within that system, and furthermore to reappraise the modern significance of the State itself.
The first of our research results is a study of thec national and racial unity of the Jungar Empire by investigating its cultural traditions.
The second is an analysis of middle class feminism in the British Empire, which demonstrates how British feminists appropriated imperial ideology and Anglo-Saxon racial superiority to justify their own right to equality.
The third is an elucidation of ruling methods of 'the Celestial Empire' (the Chinese Empire) by considering the ceremonies and rites in the Tang Dynasty.
The fourth is an analysis of the imperial system of the early-modern Holy Roman Empire, through the study of 'Peace' institutions and 'court' society that was built up on the patronage relationships around the emperors.
The fifth is a consideration of Russian Empire's imperial policy toward western provinces and 'Polish problem', especially through the study of its educational policy toward Polish szlacha, who lived in Russian western provinces, the former Polish-Lithuanian territory.
