This could be a positive legacy, but can the Olympics serve as a catalyst for Japan to reinvent itself? Probably not, due to the patriarchal elite’s ethnonationalism and aversion to diversity and inclusion. These days one of the main rationales for hosting the Olympics is branding. While the 1964 Summer Olympics signaled Japan’s return to the comity of nations and promoted its high- tech prowess and recovery from war, the 2020 Zaha Hadid’s Olympic Stadium Design branding has proven more complicated and way more expensive.

  • Japan's Declining Population and Demographic Challenges
    JAPAN’S DECLINING POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES Rajaram Panda Introduction Japan is sitting on a demographic time bomb. As an inevitable consequence of modernisation fuelled by rapid economic growth during the post-War years, Japan has emerged as one the first few countries in Asia to face a new challenge of a declining population. This unprecedented population challenge threatens the nation fabric with serious social, economic and political consequences whose impact is going to be felt for many future generations. There have been several studies around the world on the issue of declining fertility of Japanese women, the real reason behind the declining trend in the nation’s population. Not only it is not at the replacement level, even the existing rate continues to show declining trend. This is the real worry and at the core of this challenge. The past and the present governments have taken several measures to correct this worrying trend but since birth or the issue of having or not having a child is an individual choice, no government measures howsoever attractive by offering incentives have been of any help to address this issue. Yet, new measures are being adopted with the hope to address the issue.

  • Terrorism in Southeast Asia
    Terrorism in Southeast Asia name redacted Specialist in Asian Affairs name redacted Specialist in Asian Affairs name redacte d Specialist in Asian Affairs name r edacted Specialist in Asian Affairs name redacted Analyst in Asian Affairs name redacted Specialist in Terrorism and National Security May 12, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44501 Terrorism in Southeast Asia Summary Southeast Asia is home to more than 620 million people and around 15% of the world’s Muslim population. The region has faced the threat of terrorism for decades, but threats in Southeast Asia have never been considered as great as threats in some other regions. The rise of the Islamic State, however, poses new, heightened challenges for Southeast Asian governments, and for U.S. policy towards the vibrant and strategically important region. Southeast Asia has numerous dynamic economies and three Muslim-majority states, including the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, Indonesia, which also is the world’s third largest democracy (by population) after India and the United States, respectively. Although the mainstream of Islamic practice across the region is comparatively tolerant of other religions, Southeast Asia is also home to several longstanding and sometimes violent separatist movements, as well as pockets of Islamist radicalism, which have led to instances of violence over the past 30 years. These were particularly acute during the 2000s, when several attacks in Indonesia killed hundreds of Indonesians and dozens of Westerners. The threat seemingly eased in the late 2000s- early 2010s, with the success of some Southeast Asian governments’ efforts to combat violent militancy and degrade some of the region’s foremost terrorist groups.
