Description

This comprehensive academic work explores the institutional frameworks through which Taiwan was governed during Japanese colonial rule, revealing how the administration was engineered and integrated into Japan's broader empire-building strategy. The author presents a nuanced argument that Japanese governance in Taiwan was pragmatic and adaptive rather than ideologically predetermined, relying heavily on the integration of native social forces to maintain cooperation and stability. Part I examines how the Japanese administration developed within the specific context of colonial Taiwan, analysing the legal traditions, civil service structures, and administrative mechanisms that shaped colonial policy and practice. Published by Routledge as part of the Academia Sinica on East Asia series, this book offers scholars and students of colonial history, East Asian politics, and institutional development a rigorous examination of how empires functioned through local institutions and cultural integration rather than purely through top-down impositions.
