| Research Abstract |
Main results of research of the four years can be summarized as the following four points.
1.The international symposium as a place of a summary of conventional four years was held to examine African moral economy from a viewpoint of comparative studies centering on the characteristics of African. Southeast. Asian and Japanese economy. and reexamined a future direction on the research from an interdisciplinary viewpoint.
2. It becomes clear through the concrete examples that African characteristic of moral economy stresses on < consumption and reproduction> than <material production>.In mode of consumption. we can find some features such as "economy of sharing" pointed out in before. The characteristic of generalized reciprocity seems to be seen in African rural villages comparing with a behavior pattern based on balanced reciprocity in Asian rural society. In addition. the behabious characteristic of an African peasant has some continuity with hunting / gatherer society and pastorarist.
3. Subsistence complex of agro-pastorarist was confirmed as the thing which supported moral economy of an African peasant. In addition. the importance of livestock as social wealth used in bride-prices and an organization principle of the moral economy based on < reproduction> were clarified.
4. In development theory. a tendency to pay attention to only the negative side that moral economy blocked the modernization was seen till now. In a field study in the development spot supported in the new viewpoint as sustained development and endogenous development. the possibility of an interlocking movement between the morality of spot society and development was clearified.
