Abstract
Abstracthrough understanding Japanese scholars of colonial policy about Taiwan before World War II, the thesis tries to figure out Taiwanese political history and to construct a new approach in the period of Japanese colonization in Taiwan. Starting from Tokugawa Era, the thesis first expounds some scholars’ statements about Taiwan in the end of Tokugawa Era and Meiji Era.Then,prove that there must be relations between those statements and the foundation of the science of colonial policy in Japan after the Russo-Japanese War. Second,the thesis not only divided these scholars into two paradigms:”technical” and “critical” but also put their colonial policy about Taiwan into three parts: ”management”,”integration”and “international strategy.” Nitobe Inazo, Takekoshi Yosaburou, Mochiji Rokusaburou, Tanaka Zenriu, Taugou Mi and Nakamura Akira stand for the technical colonial policy. And Yamamoto Miono, Izumi Akira, Yanaihara Tadao, Hosokawa Karoku stand for the critical one. Besides sorting these scholars’ thoughts and research pedigrees, the thesis also found that the “paradigm shift” was actually caused by the outer environment of Japan. From these scholars’ statements about Taiwan, the thesis at last reviewed the imperialistic essence of the Japanese colonization in Taiwan that also proved that there must be some logical relations between the “civilized perspective” and “the approval of the East-Asia War and Japanese colonization.”
