An Essay on Minami Kikan
No full textこの論文は国立情報学研究所の学術雑誌公開支援事業により電子化されました。This study reconsiders Minami Kikan from a number of different angles. Minami Kikan has generally been thought to have backed the independence of Burma. In recent years, however, it has been the focus of particulary strong interest as a means for undertaking a partial review of the debate over the Pacific War. However, no full-scale analysis has been conducted of the concept of independence held by Minami Kikan. In the absence of such full-scale analysis, it has come to be regarded as an expression of the contemporary concept of independence through the self-determination of the people. The present study verifies that, to an extent, Minami Kikan had a perception, though imperfect, of a popular democratic movement as its authority. Even so, the independence of Burma that it promoted did not by nature exclude control by Japan. This finding changes considerably the image of Minami Kikan, which had been idealized and praised in many foregoing studies as "contributing to freedom in Asia." Admittedly, aside from differences in the perception of the concept of independence, the fact still remains that Minami Kikan supported the Thakin party and played a certain role in advancing the popular movement. Moreover, in contrast to the conventional view, since independence as conceived by Minami Kikan attracted a degree of support within the Japanese military, Minami Kikan's backing of the popular movement was an inevitable move that was more influential than it has generally considered to be
