Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research project was to examine the rise of American hegemony in Northeast Asia during the early phase of the Cold War, focusing on the regional history of US military occupations and alliances. Beginning with the deployment of postwar occupation forces in 1945 to the consolidation of the US-led security alliance network in 1954, I clarified the process by which American hegemony replaced the Japanese empire in the region.
