Japanese Scholarship on Communism in East and Southeast Asia

Onimaru Takeshi

This is a select list of Japanese publications on communism in East and Southeast Asia. Doing a keyword search of “共産主義” (communism) in the Kyoto University Library Online Data Base, I initially found too many results – about 750, including translations from foreign languages. I made a choice from these results, focusing on East and Southeast Asia.

Studies on communism in Southeast Asia are scarce, including only two books on the history of communism in the region as a whole. Among the many studies on the Japanese and Chinese communist parties and the Comintern, I have listed only those concerned with history and published after 1990, as well as primary sources published earlier. The opening of the Comintern archives in Moscow in the early 1990s is expected to result in more studies in the near future. Finally, there are a number of publications on Sorge, the Soviet spy operating in Japan in the 1930s.
