  • Chapter 6 Crisis Communication
    The Independent Investigation Commission on the Japanese Government’s Response to COVID-19: Report on Best Practices and Lessons Learned Part III Best practices and challenges Chapter 6 Crisis communication The most effective message to encourage “self-restraint” and response to public anxiety, discontent and criticism The “analysis and recommendations” released April 1 by the government’s Expert Meeting on the Novel Coronavirus Disease Control cited a change in citizens’ behavior as a key component of the “Japan model” to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. A key to the efforts to fight the novel coronavirus were the messages released by the government to prompt people at large to change their behavior to reduce the infection risk, such as voluntary restraint on nonurgent outings and avoiding the “Three Cs” (closed spaces, crowded places and close-contact settings). What also became important was for the government, in order to prevent confusion among citizens and seek their cooperation with countermeasures for the disease, to explain the situation to address public anxiety, discontent and criticism, such as by accounting for the poor access to PCR tests for the virus, and to send out messages for resolving the problems. In this chapter, we define these two as “crisis communication.” Several research and data indicate that the messages sent out via the government’s news conferences and other channels contributed to a change in citizens’ behavior, thus reducing the effective reproduction number of novel coronavirus infections, but that public evaluation of the government’s news conferences and messages was not necessarily positive. Based on such an analysis, this chapter tries to explore the messages that contributed to people’s behavioral change (best practice) and the factors that lowered public evaluation of the government’s news conferences and messages (challenges).

  • From the Desk of the Consul-General
    From the Desk of the Consul-General Consul-General Dr. Kazayuki Katayama September 2013-August 2015 The Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit Detroit, MI August 2015 From the Desk of Consul General of Japan in Detroit (Preface) I have served for nearly two years as the Consul General of Japan, in my jurisdiction of both Michigan and Ohio, from September, 2013 to August, 2015. I focused on the promotion of economics, politics, culture, public relations education and consular affairs, as well as the expansion of person-to-person exchanges in various areas between Japan and the 2 states. The consulate opened in 1993 and I am the 10th Consul General. During my term, I often visited local governments, companies, universities and colleges, Japanese weekend schools, branches of the Japan-America Society and the Japanese associations in various parts of the 2 states in order to foster the understanding of Japan’s policies, including its foreign policy, among the Americans here. I traveled to Ohio 66 times and Michigan (beyond Metro Detroit) 45 times. I visited universities/colleges 43 times, companies 24 times and Japanese weekend schools 14 times. I recited approximately 110 speeches and lecture and invited guests to my residence, to serve them Japanese food and Sake, about 200 times. My goals in participating in these activities were twofold. First, I aimed to convince Americans that Japan is a trustworthy and strong partner to the U.S. Second, I earnestly set out to provide quality services to local Japanese residence and portray the Consulate General as both conscientious and dependable.

    B. Proceedings Conference-Roundtable—Coronavirus and International Affairs: Event Summary Description and Concept Note Coalition for Peace & Ethics Prepared by Larry Catá Backer This Section of the Proceedings is divided into two sections. Section 1 includes a short Conference-Roundtable description as it was prepared immediately before the event. Section 2 includes the more detailed Concept Note. Both were prepared by Parry Catá Backer for the Coalition for Peace & Ethics. 156 Emancipating the Mind (2020)15(2) (Special Issue) Larry Catá Backer for CPE Description and Concept Note 1. Conference-Roundtable Description The emergence of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, one of a more lethal strain of a class of virus that cause disease in humans, has had a profound effect on virtually all aspects of human activity. As of 2 April 2020, worldwide 900,306 cases have been confirmed 45, 693 COVID-19 related deaths have been reported in 206 countries by the World Health Organization.1 But even those numbers are contested. For the same period through 28 February 2020, Worldometer reported 51,703 deaths of 1,007,103 confirmed cases.2 The pandemic appears in every corner of the world. While the medical and health implications of COVID-19 are profound and tragic, the effects of the disease on governance, law, and international affairs will likely be even more significant and long lasting. As states, institutions, and individuals respond to the challenges, always contextually unique, all of the structures of the contemporary world have come under stress, and principally the structures and normative frameworks of globalization.
