This dissertation explores the work of one group of Protestant religious imperialists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Southern Presbyterian missionaries to Korea, by looking at the missionaries' Christian beliefs, the ways in which the missionaries built their homes and buildings and used them for evangelism, and the jobs they performed on the mission field. The Southern Presbyterian missionaries' Christian beliefs drew not only from the Southern Presbyterian denomination's beliefs and doctrine, but also from more radically evangelical ideas outside the church. This more radical theology emphasized the importance of evangelizing every area of the world to bring the second coming of Jesus. Therefore, the missionaries prime and most important focus was on converting Koreans to Christianity. To accomplish their goal of converting both Korean women and men, the Southern Presbyterians made two more changes, they created spaces where men missionaries would met only with Korean men, and women missionaries would only meet with Korean women. Secondly, they used their created spaces for intimate, one-on-one evangelism. This put American women to work in jobs that mimicked those of men as primary evangelists, teachers, and tacit pastors to Korean women. These changes in beliefs, changes in spatial arrangements, and changes in the jobs men and women did characterized the Southern Presbyterian mission to Korea. By looking at the beliefs, the ways which they organized and used space, and the jobs they did on the mission field, connections between the rise of Christianity in Korea and missionary everyday decisions, life, and jobs can be seen. Specifically, the dissertation sheds light on the significant role a group of evangelizers dedicated to certain theological beliefs not only shape a mission's endeavors but also change the lives of the missionaries themselves. By looking at these factors, this dissertation also shows that much similarity existed between existing Korean spatial religious practices and the spatial evangelistic methods used by the missionaries. Also, changes within missionary gender roles can be explained which exposes the central work of evangelism done by not only single female missionaries, but married ones as well.

This dissertation situates Indian nationalist politics in a broad, international context of anti-imperialist movements beginning in the late colonial and interwar period. The archival record is rich with sources on the international and transnational connections of the Indian National Congress (INC); however, scholarship on the independence movement almost exclusively concentrates on the micro-histories of `locality, province, and nation' or the `subalterns' of India. Instead, this project contributes a much-needed international perspective to Indian colonial history. As a case study, this dissertation traces the relationship between Jawaharlal Nehru, then a prominent leader of the Indian independence movement and later India's first prime minister (1947-1964), and the League against Imperialism (LAI), a significant, yet little studied organization founded in Brussels in February 1927. The League offered a significant space for Nehru, and by extension the Indian National Congress, to interact and build partnerships with political leaders in other colonies, mandates and dependencies in Asia, Africa, and Latin America; as well as North American and European social reformers concerned with working class and racial equality. A history of Nehru and his League connections underscores the significance of the international terrain in which Indian nationalists contested empire. In this project I argue that the making of Indian anti-colonial nationalism in the 1920s and 1930s emerged as a complex set of interactions on the ground in India, but also beyond the colonial borders of the subcontinent.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o processo de desenvolvimento econômico e de industrialização da Índia, partindo de sua formação sócio-espacial, dos projetos e ações de caráter desenvolvimentistas após a independência em 1947 e dos atuais estágios do desenvolvimento econômico e industrial do país, consistindo principalmente de levantamento bibliográfico. Teoricamente, levamos em consideração a categoria marxista do Modo de Produção Asiático e a categoria de Formação Sócio-Espacial de Milton Santos. Além dessas, a interpretação de Lenin sobre o imperialismo e os trabalhos de Alice Amsden sobre o desenvolvimento de países asiáticos e periféricos em geral. Iniciamos com uma apresentação mais teórica do Modo de Produção Asiático e da categoria de Formação Sócio-Espacial. Em seguida tratamos do imperialismo e suas consequências para o desenvolvimento indiano. Antes de algumas considerações sobre o exposto, apresentamos o desenvolvimento indiano após sua independência, marcadamente pela presença do Estado, principalmente através de planos quinquenais em pleno sistema capitalista. Enfim, este trabalho aponta que, primeiramente, algumas hipóteses do Modo de Produção Asiático parecem encontrar lugar no caso indiano, como: caráter hidráulico, governo centralizador executando algumas obras de interesse público e a junção entre agricultura e manufatura. Segundo, o imperialismo britânico contribuiu para retardar o desenvolvimento do capitalismo moderno indiano. E por último, a presença do Estado indiano no desenvolvimento econômico e industrial.
Abstract : This study aims to analyze the process of economic development and industrialization of India, from its formation socio-spatial, projects and developmental actions of character after independence in 1947 and the current stage of economic and industrial development of the country, consisting mainly of literature. Theoretically, we consider the Marxist category of Asian Mode of Production and category of Formation Socio-Spatial by Milton Santos. Besides these, the interpretation of Lenin on Imperialism and the works of Alice Amsden on the development of Asian countries in general and peripherals. We begin with a more theoretical Asian Mode of Production and category of Formation Socio-Spatial. Then treat imperialism and its impact on Indian development. Before some thoughts on the above, we present the development after Indian independence, markedly by the presence of the state, primarily through five-year plans in full capitalist system. Finally, this study shows that, first, some hypotheses of Asian Mode of Production seem to find a place in the Indian case, as hydraulic character, centralized government running some works of public interest and the junction between agriculture and manufacturing. Second, British imperialism contributed to retard the development of modern capitalism Indian. And finally, the presence of the Indian state in economic and industrial development.

Повний текст джерелаThe reopening of Japan and the transformation during the Meiji period had regional implications linked to the intensification of the relationship with the Asian colonies of the Spanish empire during the second half of the 19th century. In the context of the relationships initiated with the project for the Japanese-Spanish treaty of 1868, it is possible to highlight three historic processes. First is the Spanish project to join the unequal treaty system established in Japan. Secondly is the role of the Philippine, Marianas and Caroline islands within the nanshin-ron 南進論 or “theories of the advance towards the South Seas” to promote the penetration of the Japanese interest in the Nanyō 南洋 or “South Seas”. Lastly is the process of strengthening linkages between Japan and the Philippines during the last decade of this century. The analysis of these processes allows us to observe how the decline of a Spanish empire trying to maintain its Asian colonies was parallel to the rise of Japan as a new power, which explored new possibilities to expand its interests in the region where these colonies were located.

Повний текст джерелаThis doctoral thesis focuses on a question that has been little studied by the historiography of modern China but that is nevertheless fundamental to the understanding of imperialism in the modern history of this nation. By positioning itself at the intersection of three historiographical camps that are connected and yet distinct—urban history, the history of empires, and the history of the forces of law and order—this thesis will seek to emphasise the idea that the circulation of the skills and knowledge-base of a modern state were an example of “statecraft” within the city of Shanghai, which occupied an intermediary position between the European empires and the Chinese state. The primary focus of the thesis is the issue of defence and the maintenance of public order in the French Concession of Shanghai as being indicative of the relations that existed between the French and local authorities, the possible tensions between the empires, the administrative hierarchy of the French Empire on the ground, and the distribution of the power of military command between the civil and military authorities. The objective is to shed light on the shaping of the municipal administration of Shanghai before the establishment of the Kuomintang municipal authority in 1927 on three levels: what form did relations between the three municipalities within the city take? How did the French authorities build a security administration on the ground? Lastly, how did this security administration respond to the challenges of war and military conflict?

After the United States entered the second industrial revolution, the domestic economy flourished. In order to transfer the excessive financial resources and products in the United States, the US government planned to expand overseas markets. After the Spanish-American War of 1898, the United States acquired the Philippines as the only colony in the Asia-Pacific region. The motivation of the United States colonizing the Philippines is to obtain economic benefits; therefore when the US government adopted the economic policy, it wanted to turn the Philippines into a place suppling raw materials, a market for dumping US goods and a place for US capital investment. This study aims to analyze the colonial economic policies adopted by the United States colonial rule over 40 years, including land reform, internal tax system reform, the establishment of monetary and financial systems, etc... By analyzing those economic policies, we can realize their background, content and impact on the Philippines. Although the US economic policies enhanced the economic prosperity of the Philippines, the purpose of the American colonization of the Philippines is the same as that of other European imperialists in Southeast Asia that is, obtaining its own interest by taking the economic control of the Philippines.

Повний текст джерелаResearch on the development of Pan-asianism outside Japan has long been neglected by historians. This thesis is an attempt of decompartmentalization of Pan-asianism to better understand its emergence in Asia and its role in the construction of an Asian identity between 1900 and 1924. This will be done by examining the speech of five actors of this "ideology." Using a Global History perspective, it demonstrates how Pan-asianism in Asia is part of a network of contacts and circulation of ideas in the early 20th century which was mainly influenced by two concepts in its definition of Asia: the yellow race and the Asian civilisation. Other than trying to better understand the relationships between Pan-asianism in Asia and Japan, this master’s thesis also explores the similarities and differences between them, especially the creation of an identity and a perception of Japan as a model of modernization and leader of the continent that spreads in Asia through Pan-asianism’s rhetoric.

Повний текст джерелаThe history of medicalization of maternity in China is still poorly understood and this master thesis is a first step in the attempt to clear this rich and vast ground. It examines the context in which and to what extent the care of the Chinese women’s maternity has evolved in the French medical consular posts of Southern China (Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan), from the arrival of the first doctors in 1898 until the eve of the Second World War in1938. It demonstrates how the French sanitary mission took care of pregnancy, childbirth, and new-born health in the consular health establishments, and attempts to see how far, why, and in what areas specifically the Western health care proposed by the French in these regions could have reached the future and new Chinese mothers.

Повний текст джерелаThe main concern of this research is: how to make sense of the fact that in some colonies, anti-colonial movement were stronger while in others, the subjects were silent. The present writer would use colonial intellectuals from three areas (Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore) as cases to illustrate the development of anti-colonial movements in above three areas in late nineteenth Century and Early Twenty Century.
Using the theory of institutionalization as theoretical framework, the present writer argued that the level of institutionalized of the society is the prime mover of the event. To view colonial society as a social group, it is argued that only in those societies reaching a high level of institutionalization, then members of the society would develop a kind of locally oriented vision of the society. That kind of vision is the necessary condition of anti-colonial movement. In the following thesis, the present writer would discuss in what way colonial governance, migration, and the conditions of pre-colonial society shaped the level of institutionalization of the discussed cases.

Повний текст джерела(8803058), James P. Podgorski. "Korean and American Memory of the Five Years Crisis, 1866-1871." Thesis, 2020.
Знайти повний текст джерелаThis project examines the events from 1866 to 1871 in Korea between the United States and Joseon, with a specific focus on the 1866 General Sherman Incident and the United States Expedition to Korea in 1871. The project also examines the present memory of those events in the United States and North and South Korea. This project shows that contemporary American reactions to the events in Korea from 1866 to 1871 were numerous and ambivalent in what the American role should be in Korea. In the present, American memory of 1866 to 1871 has largely been monopolized by the American military, with the greater American collective memory largely forgetting this period.
In the Koreas, collective memory of the five-year crisis (1866 to 1871) is divided along ideological lines. In North Korea, the victories that Korea achieved against the United States are used as stories to reinforce the North Korean line on the United States, as well as reinforcing the legitimacy of the Kim family. In South Korea, the narrative focuses on the corruption of Joseon and the Daewongun and the triumph of a “modernizing” Korean state against anti-western hardliners, and is more diverse in how the narrative is told, ranging from newspapers to K-Dramas, leading to a more complicated collective memory in the South.
This Thesis shows that understanding the impact that the first state-to-state encounters had on the American-Korean relationship not only at the time but also in the present, is key to analyzing the complicated history of the Korean-American relationship writ large.
