In order to obtain membership to the Union, an assodation is subject to a strict examination of its academic activities. As of 1983,'the Union had a membership of 32 associations as in the table of contents. Inclusion of a recent entrant to the Union, Japan Finance Association, brings the total membership for 1984 to 33 assoc za tzo ns. The aims and objectives of the Union are to support scholarly activities of its member associations and to promote academic exchanges both among members themselves, and between Japanese and overseas academic societies. The main activities of the Union are: (I) the publication and distribution of academic materials concerning Japanese economics and papers presented by member scholars, (2) the sending of member scho(ars to overseas conferences, (3) holding and supporting of international con­ ferences in Japan, (4) providing financial assistance to member associations inviiing foreign scholars to Japan, and (5) collecting information on activities of member associations and the issuing of a news·bullet in. The Union published in 1974 "KEIZAIGAKU NO DOKO" (The Trend in Japanese Economics), based on a survey of economic studies undertaken in postwar Japan. The Supplementary volume covering Japanese economic studies after 1974 was published in 1982. The Union and the International Economic Association (/EA) jointly held the Fifth World Congress of the /EA in Tokyo from August 29 to September 3 1978. The Union dispatched 30 member scholars to the Sixth World Congress of the /EA held in Mexico in 1980. And most recently, the Union and the International Institute of Public Finance jointly held the Institute's 37th Congress at Tokyo in September 1981. The Union celebreted in 1980 the 30th anniversary of its founding by launching a variety of activities, one of which was the publication of The Bulletin. In editing The Bulletin Mrs.E.O.A. Checkland has been assisting us by correcting Eng/sh, and we are most grateful to her for her kind co-operation.

  • Japan: Super Global High Schools
    July 2015 Japan: Super Global High Schools The Japanese Government’s Super Global High School (SGH) project was launched in 2014, and aims “to develop leaders with international competencies”. Working with universities, industry and international organisations, SGH schools develop and implement tailored curricula for five years. SGH Associate schools will work with SGH schools to develop a broader SGH community. SGH Associate schools also develop and implement targeted educational programs for “nurturing global leaders” for one year. Students from SGH schools will be “expected to hone their communication and problem-solving skills as they tackle global issues” in concert with Japan-based universities and international organisations, industry and non-profit groups. The SGH project complements the government’s focus on internationalisation of universities – where possible, connections between SGH schools and universities are noted below.

  • FY2019 Results of Accreditation
    Results of Accreditations Performed by the Japan University Accreditation Association April 10, 2020 Introduction In 2002, the Certified Evaluation and Accreditation System was introduced in Japan (enforced in 2004), obligating all higher education institutions (universities, junior colleges and technical colleges) to undergo an evaluation once every 7 years, and all professional graduate schools to undergo an evaluation once every 5 years as well. In each case, the evaluating agency certified by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) conducts the evaluation process, comprehensively assessing the level of education, and other areas. Since its establishment in 1947, the Japan University Accreditation Association (JUAA) has played a significant role in assuring the quality of higher education. On August 31, 2004, the JUAA was authorized by the Minister of MEXT as the first Certified Evaluation and Accreditation Agency for universities. Authorization for its Certified Evaluation and Accreditation later expanded to several other fields. The JUAA currently performs Certified Evaluation and Accreditation in 11 fields (university, junior college, law school, professional graduate business school, professional graduate public policy school, professional graduate school of public health, professional graduate school of intellectual property studies, professional graduate school of global communications, professional graduate school of digital contents, professional graduate school of global legal studies, and professional graduate school of public relations) and the accreditation for school of veterinary medicine. JUAA has just finalized the results of accreditations for FY 2019 as follows. FY 2019 University Accreditation (Certified Evaluation and Accreditation for University) Results On accepting applications for University Accreditation from 30 universities, the JUAA has undertaken the evaluative process.

  • The Cartographic Heritage of Tokyo: the Representation of Urban Landscapes on Maps from the Seventeenth to Nineteenth Centuries
    J-READING JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND DIDACTICS IN GEOGRAPHY 2, 9, December, 2020, pp. 115-125 DOI: 10.4458/3617-10 The Cartographic Heritage of Tokyo: The Representation of Urban Landscapes on Maps from the Seventeenth to Nineteenth Centuries Shinobu Komeiea a Department of Geography, Hosei University, Tokyo, Japan Email: [email protected] Received: August 2020 – Accepted: October 2020 Abstract This study presents an overview of the history of maps depicting Tokyo (Edo) published from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. Of these maps, the main emphasis is given to Edo Kiriezu, sectional maps of Edo; these maps are used to determine the ways people were conscious of their city, and also to discuss past geographical thought. Here, an investigation is made of the cityscape characteristics of Edo as depicted on old maps. The study concludes that the urban landscape of Edo as depicted in Edo Kiriezu is the terminal point for considering what kind of spatial awareness “Edoites” had of the places where they lived. The Edo cityscape depicted in these maps has also served modern Tokyo as an important tool for recollecting and understanding Edo. Not only do maps of Edo help us to reconstruct lost urban landscapes, they also function as our cartographic heritage and illuminate the geographic thought of people who came before. Keywords: Cartographic Heritage, Edo, Edoites, Geographical Thought, Landscape, Map Publication 1. Introduction Tokyo, which was the name that replaced Edo). Thus, from the Meiji period on, Tokyo served as For this study, specific maps of Tokyo from the imperial capital; many people came to live in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries were Tokyo, and the city was progressively selected.

  • Civil Jury Trial in Japan-Lessons From
    Civil Jury Trials “Revolutionalize” Japan: Lessons from the Experience of Civil Jury Trials in Okinawa The Edited Volume to be Published by Nihon Hyoron-Sha (日本評論社) By Baishin Saiban o Kangaeru-kai (Research Group on Jury Trials or RGJT) Satoru Shinomiya (Attorney, Kokugaku-in University) Kaoru Kurosawa (Professor Emeritus, Toyo University) Hiroshi Fukurai (Professor, UC Santa Cruz) Osamu Niikura (Attorney, Professor Emeritus, Aoyama Gakuin University) Takayuki Ii (Professor, Senshu University) Kiyoteru Takita (Patent Attorney, IP Kokusai Patent & Engineering) Tatsuo Kamiguchi (RGJT Member) Nearly a half century ago in a U.S. military-occupied jurisdiction overseas, the popular jury commenced and its members came from the widest spectrum of the general population across race, ethnicity, gender, class, culture, citizenship, and national origin. Once Rome developed the similar legal institution called Recuperatores during its republican era more than two thousand years ago, this ancient mixed jury allowed both Roman citizens and foreign residents in Roman peripheries to jointly participate in resolving civil disputes in its territories. 1 More than two millenniums later, the nearly identical institution and participatory practice re-emerged in the Japanese island of Okinawa. Okinawa, or Ryukyus in an indigenous language, once operated the institution of a civil jury system, which French jurist Alexis De Tocqueville once called the genuine foundation of democracy. Tocqueville had recognized that the virtuous ideal of American democracy was powerfully laid due to the “long use that they have made of the jury in civil matters,” not criminal issues as popularly thought in legal discourse.2 “It is in the institution of the civil jury that it finds the principal sources of its power,” he followed.3 Ironically, such a historical feat in the installation of democratic institution took place in Okinawa while the island was occupied and often violently ruled by the U.S.
