| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Alpine regions during the 14th - 16th century show us interesting process of the interaction between local communities and growing state power, specifically where local communities cooperated with each other by organizing an alliance or a durable confederation. I have comparatively elucidated the social and political structures of the alpine regions from the viewpoint of interactive communication among communities and ruling powers, dividing into three regions, as follows.
Western Alps: Savoy including Aosta, where the local communities were controlled by the growing monarchial power in the late Middle Ages. Central Alps: Swiss Confederacy as well as Grisons, where federative cooperation among communities enjoyed essential influence on the region’s political structure. Eastern Alps: Tyrol, Salzburg, and Vorarlberg, where the close relationship and communication between the monarchial government and the local communities secured the autonomy and political activity of the latter.
