| Research Abstract |
Our project has two aims: (1) to shed light on field research of the Shandong region conducted by the Qingdao Garrison and other agencies, and to discuss Japan's management of Shandong based on the research results, (2) to use those source materials to provide comprehensive review for the political, economic, and social situations of the time not only in Shandong but in the whole nation.
In our research at ten institutes including the Diplomatic Record Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, we dug out approximately 160 items of survey reports and statistical collections created mostly by the Qingdao Garrison and the Shandong Railway. The results of our efforts are contained in the Search Result Report in the form of "A bibliography of reports and publications by the Qingdao Garrison, with annotations." These source materials have not been paid much attention, but their value should be recognized in analyzing Japan's actual intentions of expanding interests over China while holding the Shandong region under its control.
The project themes range from the Japanese Army's occupational system in Shandong, the German management of Qingdao, to agriculture and industry of the Shandong region. The achievements of each work were combined into the publication in the third project year of Nihon no Chintao senryo to Santo no shakai keizai, 1914-22 (The effects of the Japanese occupation on the economy and society of Shandong), which also contains articles contributed to by Chinese scholars we discussed with in academic exchange with Academies of Social Sciences in Shandong and Qingdao. The symposium we organized in the fourth year encouraged vigorous interaction in empirical study areas among Chinese history experts from China and Japan, and stimulating discussions on study related to the Shandong region among experts in Japanese economic history and those in Chinese modern history.
