Outline of Final Research Achievements

The research results of this project are as follows.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学術的意義は、新領土ボスニアの処遇と手がかりとしてハプスブルク帝国の支配のありようを解明した点である。より具体的にいえば、ボスニアの憲法（自治）問題からその独特の国制の硬直性を明らかにできたこと、第一次大戦の開戦原因をなす南スラヴ問題の実態を詳らかにしたことは大きな意味を持つ。サライェヴォ事件をめぐる記憶の変容を跡づけたことも意義として付記しておく。
社会的意義は、日本＝ハプスブルク関係史研究に一石を投じた点をあげたい。つまり、ボスニアと台湾の植民地統治の比較は画期的な試みであり、またフランツ・フェルディナントの訪日を勲章外交の視角から跡づけたことは、日本史研究にも貢献するものである。
