Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
代表者は中国近代史を「革命か、改革かに関わりなく、中国史上初めて南方から変革が行われた時代」と捉えており、太平天国と湘軍などの軍事勢力もその重要な担い手であった、本研究は清末中国の社会変容について考察を進めることで、中国社会の多様性と向かい合う格好の事例研究を提供できると考えている。 また20世紀の日本は中国の軍閥を忠誠心の欠いた私兵集団と見なし、大陸侵略を推し進めた。これらの軍事勢力の歴史的意義を考察することは、日本人の中国認識に対する反省を促すことになる。また中国国民党の「党国」体制や共産党の一党独裁体制ついても、近代の地方勢力割拠に対する反作用として見た時にその歴史的位置が明らかになる。
