British Colonial History in East Asia
Research Interests
Since 1997, I have been interested in the relationship between the British
Empire and the regional order in Asia. Based on this interest, I have conducted
following research. First, I compared the British colonial administrations
in Singapore and Hong Kong in the 19th century, mainly focusing on revenue
raising and policing. The result of this study was presented to the Graduate
School of Human and Environmental Studies, Kyoto University, as an M.A.
thesis in January 2000 and published in SEAS 2003.
Second, I demonstrated how the British Empire constructed an intelligence
network against the international communism movements led by the Third
International (Comintern) in the 1920s and 1930s. For this purpose, I examined
the "Noulens Case" of 1931, the only case in which a key agent
of the Comintern was arrested by British police in Shanghai. I collected
materials relating to this case and submitted the results of this study
as my dissertation to the Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies,
Kyoto University, on 6 December 2004.
Current research topics:
(1) The early 20th-century British-led intelligence network and information
exchange system in Asia
(2) The structure of the Comintern network in Asia in the 1920s and 1930s
