Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、二度の世界大戦や東西冷戦（社会主義）、さらには民族政策や都市政策など現代史の論点を、チェコスロヴァキアの歴史を扱うことでより鮮明に浮かび上がらせる。これらの歴史の表舞台となったチェコスロヴァキアは、現代史研究の課題論点が凝縮した地域であり、他地域との比較の視点を多く提供しうる。特に、戦時期における民族政策・人の移動や、社会主義体制下での住宅・都市政策は、必ずしも同国に特有の現象ではなく、日本の現代史とも比較しうる共通の論点を見出すことが可能である。
