Abstract
Political geography in Japan has been one of the minor fields of geography since the end of the second world war. However, there was an upsurge of studies on this subject in the 1950s and 1960s. Geographical journals newly published after the war played an important role in increasing studies and differentiating research themes in political geography. That is, particular subjects tended to be published in particular journals. This can still be seen today in a different way. This paper examines the publication tendencies of political geography in Japan by focusing on the quantitative relations between research themes and publication attributes of 454 published studies. These relations reveal important factors in the post-war development of Japanese political geography. Through the results of the analysis, this paper makes an attempt to review the history of Japanese political geography after the war from the socio-historical point of view.
