| Research Abstract |
In conducting archival research at the National Library of China (Beijing), Sichuan Provincial Archives, Fujian Provincial Archives, Taiwan Historica (Taiwan), the Institute of Modern History of Academica Sinica (Taiwan), the National Archives of Mongolia (Ulan Bator), the South China Research Center of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hitotsubashi University Library, the Institute of Economic Research (Hitotsubashi University), the National Diet Library (Kyoto), and the Institute of Oriental Culture of the University of Tokyo, et cetera, the participants in this projects clarified the following characteristics of the modern East Asian land system and its problems.
(1) In the first half of the 20th century, in order to establish the "modern" land system, the local governments and the municipal authorities in Northeast China (Manchuria), eastern Inner Mongolia, Taiwan and cities such as Shanghai tried to verify the title of each piece of property. We examined how these

property verifications were performed in those areas and the contents of the property titles issued there.
(2) The lands owned by the Qing court, its princes, its bannermen, Mongolian princes, and the Korean court were disposed of during the above period. We concluded that the abolition of these kinds of properties (a land system based upon social hierarchy) played an important role in establishment of the "modern" land system in East Asia.
(3) Through the establishment of the "modern" land system, properties in East Asia began to be traded freely in the market. A large amount of money began to flow into East Asia from the outside for the purpose of obtaining land. This development strengthened the economic linkage within East Asia and its relationship with the western world.
We will continue to study the above subjects while expanding our research comparing the property policies of Chinese Communist Party and its Nationalist Party. Both parties aimed to establish an egalitarian land system in China in the same period. Less
