Japanese mining policy and mine development
Description
Book Introduction
Research on mining during the Japanese colonial period is less extensive than expected, and the primary significance of this book lies in the fact that it primarily deals with the period before annexation.
Moreover, since mining is directly linked to development, its evaluation is bound to be difficult.
The author accurately identified the inherent difficulties of mining research and, in order to overcome them, attempted to organize the characteristics of modern Korean mining within the concepts of "modernity" and "coloniality."
In particular, to answer the question of when modern mining began in Korean history, we examined the mining 'policy' and its 'reality' in great detail.
It is also noteworthy that the dynamics of the various actors surrounding mining are also taken into account.
It is believed that this will make a significant contribution to a comprehensive analysis of colonial rule.
The history of mining during the Japanese colonial period is an area where research accumulation is very limited, and research on the Japanese colonial period is particularly lacking compared to the late Joseon period.
Moreover, there are significant differences in research perspectives, and no attempt is being made to create a new perspective that can encompass these.
In this context, this book attempts to reinterpret the development of mining from a political and historical perspective while spatially covering the entire Korean Peninsula.
To this end, the book focuses on 'subjects' such as the Japanese government, the Government-General of Korea, Japanese zaibatsu (conglomerates), Japanese capital in Korea, and Korean capital.
In addition, we thoroughly collected and systematically analyzed key statistical data in the mining industry to precisely organize trends in the production and distribution of major minerals.
This is the greatest virtue of this book, as it seems that related research can be looked up in this book as if it were a dictionary.
