This is a study of technology transfer into modern East Asia and subsequent processes of local adaptation. The regions chosen in this study are Shanghai and Huzhou in China and Shinshu and Joshu in Japan, the leading areas of raw silk production and exports between the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. Directly involved in the world economy through raw silk exports and transplanted European technology, these regions experienced one of the greatest transformations in their histories. However, the patterns of adaptation in these regions showed great discrepancies. The purpose of this study is to portray localities in transition through one commodity: raw silk, and to examine why each locality experienced a particular pattern. Analysis focuses on both the local and the international levels, by applying comparative and interrelative approaches simultaneously.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This is a study of technology transfer into modern East Asia and subsequent processes of local adaptation. The regions chosen in this study are Shanghai and Huzhou in China and Shinshu and Joshu in Japan, the leading areas of raw silk production and exports between the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. Directly involved in the world economy through raw silk exports and transplanted European technology, these regions experienced one of the greatest transformations in their histories. However, the patterns of adaptation in these regions showed great discrepancies. The purpose of this study is to portray localities in transition through one commodity: raw silk, and to examine why each locality experienced a particular pattern. Analysis focuses on both the local and the international levels, by applying comparative and interrelative approaches simultaneously.
520 $a This is a local study in modern history. These four regions became closely related with each other in the world market. Results of competition in the international market reverberated in the patterns of adaptation in each locality. Analysis of industrial development at the national level cannot possibly cover evolution taking place at the local level. One of the contributions of local studies to modern history is to provide a relevant tool to analyzing the increase of regional interactions.
520 $a Another application is related to the existence of local variations. The volume of exports of any one country is less relevant as a indicator of the development of an industry which is under transformation from a native manufacturing to a modern industry, because there is a wide range in the quality and variety of its products among different localities. Raw silk in the period under consideration here can be classified as this type of product. The existence of these variations underscores the roles the different societies played in the process of local adaptation. Therefore, transitional forms reveal social factors in each society clearly. This is why a comparative study of these patterns of adaptation provides clues to analyze the structural differences of each society. For these particular purposes, comparative and interrelative approaches are mutually compatible.
