In this study, in order to develop a framework for debate that is cognizant of the historical context of Japan, a focus is placed on the history of civic education that was promoted in the process of the foundation of the nation-state in modern Japan from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, especially the ideological structure of the concept of the "citizen". In previous research, the analysis axis of the concept of citizen has been set from two concepts, “citizens as the emperor’s people” and “citizens under modern constitutions”. In this study, in addition to the two concepts, the concept of “citizens who promote the autonomy of local communities” is added, based on the unique characteristic of the Japanese nation-state in which local communities mediate between the individual and the nation. The two concepts of “citizens as the emperor’s people” and “citizens under modern constitutions” were formed with the advent of the school system in the late 19th century. The concept of “citizens who promote the autonomy of local communities” was formed during the Local Improvement Movement (Chih? Kairy? Und?) in the early 20th century. Then, the three concepts with ties to each other, led to full-scale deployment of civic education since the 1920s.}, pages = {16--33}, title = {The Formation of the Concept of the “Citizen” in Modern Japan and Development of Civic Education}, volume = {17}, year = {2021} }
