Research Abstract |
This Project tried to survey various problems in the course of the local self-government and the campaign for the constitutional government during the late Qing and the early Republican periods. Research proceeding was: 1) to investigate and collect books and articles concerned with the subject, and make the theme of discussion clear. 2) to search and collect useful data in the documents of the central and the local government, local gazattes, news papers, and so on. 3) to carry out a survey of the items concerned with the subject in diplomatic documents at the Diplomatic Documental library of Japanese Foreign Office in Tokyo and to compile a catalogue of the above items. Short comment The system of the modern local self-government was introduced into China in 1908. During the late Qing and the eraly Republican periods, effective operation of the system was very difficult because of political disorder. However, local institutional change brought by preparation or peration of local assemblies prompted new elite to participate in political affairs and contributed much to modernization of the local government.
