| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The method of this research applies archival research that collects and analyzes primary historical materials in Japan and overseas. It was planed to visit some archives in multiple countries during this research period. However, during this period, the COVID-19 made it impossible to visit abroad. Therefore, the following results were obtained based on some materials that collected before COVID-19.
First of all, in the early 1920s, when the League of Nations was first established, Japanese diplomats were to a large extent involved in the post World War I processing issue in Europe. Secondly, the recognition of the Japanese diplomats regarding the international court system, which was important for empowering the activities of the federation as a collective security organization. As a result, the reality of the activities of the Japanese diplomats in the 1920s were partially clarified by this research.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年、グローバル・ヒストリーやグローバル・ガバナンス論の発展に伴い、国際連盟に関する研究も大きく進展している。その一方で、日本が連盟においてどのような活動を展開したのかについては、未だ十分に解明されているわけではない。まずは関連する一次史料を基に、個別事象の詳細な検証を行うことが必須と思われるが、本研究はそうした連盟と日本との関りを総合的に把握する上での重要な材料を提供するものになると考えられる。
加えて、多様な分野での国際化が提唱される中、果たして具体的に国際化とは何を指すのか、あるいは日本がなすべき国際貢献は何かといった問いに対する材料を提供することも可能になるであろう。
