| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to outline politico-economic developments as they relate to various players, centering on the coastal areas of Taiwan and the closely connected "Southwest Territory" of China during its Civil War following the Manchurian Incident (September 1931 to May 1950). It is concerned with, on the one hand, the three political players of Japan's appointed Governor General of Taiwan, the central Chinese government, and the Southwest Administration and, on the other hand, the four economic forces of Japanese capital, registered Taiwanese, southern Chinese merchants, and Chinese communities abroad. Furthermore, it clarifies the relationship these politico-economic developments had with Chinese unification, the Sino-Japanese War, Japanese pan-Asianism, and discourses of Chinese and Taiwanese national identity.
This research resulted from an international symposium which took place in September of 2005 titled, "Imperial Identity Networks: The Case of Colonial Taiwan for

Japan, China, and the South Seas." The event brought together cutting edge scholars of various disciplines, representing several national and regional scholars from Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, and England. Going beyond the respective individual backgrounds and political positions of the participants, the symposium provided a forum for active discussion of varying perspectives and resulted in truly cooperative historical research among non-State sponsored scholars. Publications stemming from this event include independent articles in academic journals, academic book length publications, and a published collection of conference articles titled, Japan's Southern Advance and Taiwan, the South Seas, and Southern China (forthcoming from Minerva Shobo, Masataka Matsuura, ed.). Based on this, the otherwise barely recognized actual conditions of Japanese imperial southward advancement and pan-Asian discourse have been revealed, and at the same time, so has the political, economic, and social structures of this area, thus providing an epoch-making shift in the manner this history is understood.
