Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research tried to clarify the political movement of youth in modern Japan from the point of view of "Region" (movement of local young man party), and "Empire" (movement of assembly setting petition in Taiwan). And, tried to integrate it with the findings related to "Center" (movement of young man outside the parliament).
Specifically, I placed a research about movement of local young man party with "a basic research", and placed a research about movement of assembly setting petition in Taiwan with "a progressive research". And I mainly performed a case study about the former and performed documents investigation about the latter.
About the former, it was thereby revealed that the movement of local young man party became active before and after a general election of 1924. In addition, about the latter, I finished the investigation into main precedent research and was able to perform translation of the doctoral dissertation for Korea for the colony period, too.
