• Note (General): This is a study into the political role of territory in a non-European context. The notion of territory has recently been the focus of a great deal of scholarship, encouraged by a concern with globalization that have worked to de-stabilize the linkage of territory with the modern, sovereign nation-state. However, much of this analysis has been historically myopic, accepting the claims made by the modern political map for a world of homogenous state spaces as indicative of actual political practice.In order to understand how territory is constituted, this study will examine how the amorphous Ezo region to Japan’s north came to be recognized as Japanese territory by the latter half of the nineteenth century. It will analyse the representation and incorporation of the lands associated with Ezo through the lenses provided by a pair of territorial practices, those of maps and borders. The emergence of Ezo as a demarcated, legible area of the earth’s surface was not dependent upon a concept of territory that insisted upon its absolute and homogenuous character. Rather, such practices serve as a series of ascriptive claims made about the world.This study emphasizes the importance of maps and borders as territorial processes open to re-enactment in the constitution of territory at a variety of scales, stretching from the local to the global, and asserts the necessity of understanding such territories relationally in order to account for their centrality to politics. More broadly, therefore, the thesis will argue for the importance of examining territorial practices in order to understand territory relationally, both in the past and today.; (主査) 教授 眞壁 仁, 教授 鈴木 一人, 教授 山崎 幹根; 法学研究科（法学政治学専攻）
