Peattie -- Economic dimensions of Meiji imperialism : the case of Korea, 1895-1910 / Peter Duus -- The NanʼyŠ: Japan in the South Pacific, 1885-1945 / Mark R. Peattie -- Police and community control systems in the Empire / Ching-chih Chen -- The attempt to integrate the Empire : legal perspectives / Edward I-te Chen -- Colonial education in Korea and Taiwan / E. Patricia Tsurumi -- Colonial publication policy and the Korean nationalist movement / Michael E. Robinson -- Colonialism and development : Korea, Taiwan, and Kwantung / Samuel Pao-San Ho -- Capital formation in Taiwan and Korea / Mizoguchi Toshiyuki, Yamamoto YūzŠ-- Agricultural development in the Empire / Ramon H. Myers, Yamada SaburŠ-- Post World War II Japanese historiography of Japan's formal colonial empire / Ramon H. Myers -- The legacy of Japanese colonialism in Korea / Bruce Cumings -- Western and Japanese colonialism : some preliminary comparisons / Lewis H. Gann.
These essays, by thirteen specialists from Japan and the United States, provide a comprehensive view of the Japanese empire from its establishment in 1895 to its liquidation in 1945. They offer a variety of perspectives on subjects previously neglected by historians: the origin and evolution of the formal empire (which comprised Taiwan, Korea, Karafuto. the Kwantung Leased Territory, and the South Seas Mandated Islands), the institutions and policies by which it was governed, and the economic dynamics that impelled it. Seeking neither to justify the empire nor to condemn it, the contributors place it in the framework of Japanese history and in the context of colonialism as a global phenomenon. Contributors are Ching-chih Chen. Edward I-te Chen, Bruce Cumings, Peter Duus, Lewis H. Gann, Samuel Pao-San Ho, Marius B. Jansen, Mizoguchi Toshiyuki, Ramon H. Myers, Mark R. Peattie, Michael E. Robinson, E. Patricia Tsurumi. Yamada Sabur?, Yamamoto Y?zo?.
