概要 / Abstract:
The most critical factors for the durability of states might be external sovereignty and internal stability. In terms of the latter factor, the mechanisms the state employs to govern society are seemingly diverse and complex. Nonetheless, there can be fundamental questions that emerge when evaluating (or thinking about) statehood: Is this a “good” state? If so, to whom? And more significantly, with what measure do we gauge it? The proposition of this study is that the way in which a state delivers its “justice” into people is a touchstone for how its structure operates to control society and to accomplish social justice. This presentation aims at introducing current and future research projects that explore the applications of this hypothesis to early modern Asian states. It first examines the judicial system of Mongolia during the Qing dynasty (1644‒1912) in detail, and second, draws comparison with other contemporary Asian countries, including Japan, China, and Korea. In spite of a challenge focusing on early modern judicial cases, this project presents broad implications for the modern issues of constitutionalism, social justice, as well as welfare states.
