  • Structure of Selection and Promotion in the Japanese Imperial Army : Two Groups in Military Officer Society
    TAKEISHI Norifumi
    The Journal of Educational Sociology, THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF EDUCATIONAL SOCIOLOGY, 87, 87, 25-45, Nov. 2010, Peer-reviwed, It is commonly believed that because many military officers in Japan were brought up in farming families, this attribute was related to "the principle of basing the country's economy on agriculture" and that this was the cause of the reckless behavior of the Imperial Army. Moreover it has been said that differences between the attributes of military officers and bureaucrats of other ministries led to serious conflict in the Showa Era. However, this opinion overlooks an important viewpoint, namely, the existence among officers of graduates of the army cadet schools. The purpose of this paper is to reexamine this popular opinion, especially through a comparative analysis of two groups in military officer society, looking at the discrepancy between the graduates of the cadet schools and those of middle schools, from three angles, (1) the selection of officers, (2) their academic records, and (3) their promotions. We then discuss the Army's actions in the Showa Era. The social attributes of the two groups forming the officer corps of the Imperial Army were not similar to each other. The cadet school graduates found their base in the new middle class in terms of social stratum, and came from urban areas. On the other hand, the middle school graduates were firmly connected with the old middle class and with non-urban districts. The attributes of the former were closer to those of Imperial University students in this sense. In general, the cadet school group performed better academically than the middle school group at the Military Academy. The upper layer in the academic ranking was mainly occupied by this group, while on the contrary, the middle school group was concentrated in the lower layer. As this gap was directly reflected in the chance of gaining entrance into the Military Staff College, which was a gateway to elite officer positions, honor graduates at both the Academy and the College were nearly monopolized by the cadet school graduates. Within the Army, the academic records (at the Academy and the College) had a major influence on officers' promotions. In other words, these two factors were correlated. Consequently, the middle school graduates tended to be cornered into retirement earlier than the cadet school graduates. Further, it was natural that members of this group had a much better chance of gaining key posts in the Ministry of War, Office of Army General Staff, and Inspectorate General of Military Training, as compared with the middle school group. Therefore, most of these high-ranking officers came from the new middle class. Their social background was roughly equivalent to that of high officials (from other ministries). These findings show that officers from the old middle class had less power and influence than is commonly assumed, and that most of them were just passive onlookers of the movement toward militarism. Officers from the new middle class played the leading role in the Showa-era Army, which was started under the "emergence of supreme command" and "self-awareness of professionalism."

    武石 典史
    日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 電気通信大学, 基盤研究(C), 令和3年度は、これまでの知見を整理しつつ、日本およびタイにおける主要アクターの「業績的特徴」を分析し葛藤の背景を検討した。そのうえで「エリート間の関係性」の理論化の足掛かりを得た。 (1)後発諸国は「軍事・文民エリートともに業績主義」、「軍事は業績主義徹底、文民は不徹底」、「軍事は不徹底、文民は徹底」、「軍事・文民ともに不徹底」などの類型のいずれか分類できる。日本は「軍事・文民エリートともに業績主義」、タイは「軍事は業績主義徹底、文民は不徹底」であることが示唆された。 (2)タイの将校の履歴を個票化し、その社会的背景を解明した。将校は近代化の初期段階から厳しい試験・選抜を課せられており、試験成績が配属先などを左右した。陸軍将校も当初は上層階級が選抜や昇進において優遇されたが、学校体系の構築とともにメリット・システム化が進行し、学歴主義・成績主義的傾向が強まっていった。この傾向によって陸軍将校は次のように特徴づけられることになった。 第一は、他の集団に対し優越感と自信を抱くようになった。第二は、凝集性である。陸士卒業という学歴が重視されるようになったことで、将校団が同校卒業生を中心とする集団となり、かつ同校や幹部養成学校での成績優秀者がその中核となった。 (3)タイにおける官僚の任用はコネなどによるところが大きく、試験制度もなかなか定着しなかった。官僚養成機関もいくつかはあり、そのうちの一つが発展しチュラロンコン大学が設立されたのは1917年になってからだった。 上記の諸分析から、将校の自負と凝集性の高さが、官僚に対する陸軍の上位性という構造の形成の一要因になったとの仮説的結論を導き出したうえで、日本およびラテンアメリカとの比較分析の重要性を指摘した。, 19K02537

  • Emprical Research of Relationship Between Education Policies and Politics Through Analysis of Diet Members with a Special Interest in Education
    TAKEISHI Norifumi
    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), The aim of this study is to discuss the relationship between education policies and politics through the analyzing what kind of role politics and politicians played in the policy-making process. Diet members with a special interest in education (bunkyozoku) had exerted their influence on education policies over a long period of time. But as the process came to depend on power balance between the government and the ruling party (LDP), in 2000s, which the Cabinet Office took initiative, the members lost their power. And we point out that the members had to compromise with another ruling party on education policies. In addition this study emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the process of the opposite parties from the perspective of competition between ruling party and top opposite one, of conflict among some groups in leading opposition party., 25381155

  • Study of Comparative Social History of a Relation BetweenModernization and Education in Non-Western Areas
    TAKEISHI Norifumi
    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Niimi College, Grant-in-Aid for Research Activity Start-up, The aim of this study was to clarify how the bringing up talented people by means of school education influenced modernization in non-Western later starters. Especially, a comparative analysis of the attitudes toward modern knowledge and of some aspects in the early stage of higher education institutionalization between Japan and China was performed. Our present study of the relation between education and modernization indicated to be able to hypothetically show the possibility of bringing out a grand theoretical proposition about social development in non-Western areas., 23830124
