| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research explored the notion of "Railways within the Japanese Imperial Sphere of Influence": the railway systems in Japan and its colonies and spheres of influence. Specifically, the study investigated the development of the Japanese Government Railways, Taiwan Railways, Korean Railways, and South Manchuria Railway from three perspectives: human resources, railway operations, and international relations. The research examined the exchange of human resources and technology among these four railways in the Japanese Empire and compared their respective operations as railway systems. It revealed that the development process of these railways first involved the transfer of railway technology and operating knowledge from the West to Japan and a gradual shift to independent operation. This was followed by a re-transfer of the railway system from mainland Japan to its colonies and spheres of influence. Notably, this process did not follow clearly defined stages but was a layered one.

日本帝国圏における鉄道発展の研究は、従来、日本国内と植民地・勢力圏に分断した形で進められてきた。また研究視角が所在国・地域の枠内にとどまっており、国際関係や世界市場のようなグローバルな視点が弱かった。これに対して本研究は、日本帝国圏という一国を超えた領域での鉄道システムの形成過程と内部構造を、域外との関係や国際比較にも注目しながら分析した。その結果、日本帝国圏の各鉄道は、互いに有機的な結びつきを有しつつも、それぞれの地域特性にあわせて、独自の経営システムを構築していったことが明らかになった。それは、東アジア鉄道業の歴史的淵源を探る上で重要な視点といえる。
