  • Prime Minister Suga, Gender Equality and Rapport Speech: a Study of Speech Style
    IPRPD International Journal of Arts, Humanities & Social Science ISSN 2693-2547 (Print), 2693-2555 (Online) Volume 02; Issue no 06: June 08, 2021 Prime Minister Suga, Gender Equality and Rapport Speech: A Study of Speech Style Shoji Azuma 1 1 Department of World Languages and Cultures, University of Utah, USA Abstract Issues related to gender equality have been widely and globally discussed in settings such as politics, education, healthcare and the workplace, among others. In Japan, the Japanese government has been working very hard to increase the number of women involved in Japanese politics, with minimal progress to date. The present prime minister of Japan, Yoshihide Suga, has intentionally sought to bring attention to this issue. He has, for the first time, selected a female cabinet relations chief for his government. His appointment of a female to this post is unprecedented. Unfortunately, due to a recent ethical code violation by the newly appointed female appointee and role model of female leadership in Japan, he felt constrained to accept her resignation from the post. The present study explores Prime Minister Suga’s treatment of this gender-related issue by examining his personal interviews with the media and press reporters in his cabinet. The study finds that Suga falls short of adopting an emotive and rapport style of speech which in turn, fails to attract listeners’ and voters’ support. Keywords: Emotion, Gender, Rapport, Speech style, Japan 1. Introduction Since the post-war period, Japan has been trying to address the controversial issue of gender roles in Japanese society. One particular focus has targeted the state of women in politics and government at the national and local levels.

  • The Regime Change Consensus: Iraq in American Politics, 1990-2003
    THE REGIME CHANGE CONSENSUS: IRAQ IN AMERICAN POLITICS, 1990-2003 Joseph Stieb A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Wayne Lee Michael Morgan Benjamin Waterhouse Daniel Bolger Hal Brands ©2019 Joseph David Stieb ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joseph David Stieb: The Regime Change Consensus: Iraq in American Politics, 1990-2003 (Under the direction of Wayne Lee) This study examines the containment policy that the United States and its allies imposed on Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War and argues for a new understanding of why the United States invaded Iraq in 2003. At the core of this story is a political puzzle: Why did a largely successful policy that mostly stripped Iraq of its unconventional weapons lose support in American politics to the point that the policy itself became less effective? I argue that, within intellectual and policymaking circles, a claim steadily emerged that the only solution to the Iraqi threat was regime change and democratization. While this “regime change consensus” was not part of the original containment policy, a cohort of intellectuals and policymakers assembled political support for the idea that Saddam’s personality and the totalitarian nature of the Baathist regime made Iraq uniquely immune to “management” strategies like containment. The entrenchment of this consensus before 9/11 helps explain why so many politicians, policymakers, and intellectuals rejected containment after 9/11 and embraced regime change and invasion.

  • Earning Astana Yellow Jerseys in a Corporate Governance Race: Engaging External Partners in Communications in Kazakhstan
    Earning Astana yellow Jerseys in a Corporate Governance Race: Engaging External Partners in Communications in Kazakhstan What do corporate governance and bicycle racing have in common? Frankly, not much. But the IFC Central Asia Corporate Governance Project team felt like cycling champions after our success in raising awareness about corporate governance in Kazakhstan. The corporate governance “race” in Kazakhstan started in 2006 in Almaty when a team of 11 people got together to launch the project. Just as the Astana cycling team retains its first place in the world ranking, subsequently reinforced by the victory of Alberto Contador in the Tour de France, our project team came out winners in helping corporate governance become an important topic in Kazakhstan. In this SmartLesson we would like to share how the project partnered with international coaches, local experts, and government bodies to promote corporate governance through publications, annual conferences, and seminars for mass media representatives in Kazakhstan. Background competitiveness and sustainability of the national Kazakhstan is located in the heart of the Eurasian economy, relying on corporate governance principles. continent at the crossroads of East and West. Prime Minister Karim Massimov also participated When the project started operations, not many of in a corporate governance awareness conference in the region’s businesspeople knew what corporate February 2007 in the Kazakhstani capital, Astana, governance was. IFC’s communications objective thereby greatly raising the profile of the topic through was to widely spread the word about corporate the accompanying press coverage. In spring 2007, governance, convince policymakers to create a full Senate hearings on the competitiveness of the favorable legislative framework, and—the most economy included invited experts on corporate important task—inspire joint-stock companies and governance.

  • Issue Composition of Contentious Politics in the Visegrad Countries
    At the Parliament or in the Streets? Issue Composition of Contentious Politics in the Visegrad Countries Work in progress; please contact us for the most recent version of the manuscript. Ondrej Cisar and Katerina Vrablikova [email protected] [email protected] Paper prepared for the ECPR General Conference, Université de Montréal 26 - 29 August 2015 (Panel: Party-Movements Interactions and the Policy Process: Beyond the Movements vs. Parties Dichotomy) Introduction In the last decades protest has rapidly grown and “normalized” as a standard component of conventional politics (Norris et al. 2006, Norris 2002, Meyer and Tarrow 1998, Teorell et al. 2007). In addition to political parties contentious/movement politics is one of the most important political forces in contemporary democracies. Surprisingly, we have thus far learned rather little about the interaction between parties and protest politics as the two fields have been mostly studied separately (McAdam and Tarrow 2013). There is a complete lack of such research in post-communist countries. While researchers have focused on the 1989 big protest events that accompanied the initial phase of democratization and a short period after that (see Glenn 2001, 2003, Ekiert and Kubik 2001, della Porta 2014), the research on political conflict in this region has solely been party-centered and mostly disregarded the role played by contentious politics. The goal of this paper is to examine interaction dynamics between party and protest politics in four post-communist democracies – the Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) – as they provide the study with a great variation in the issue configuration of their political space.

  • Wanting, Not Waiting
    WINNERSdateline OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS 2011 Wanting, Not Waiting 2012 Another Year of Uprisings SPECIAL EDITION dateline 2012 1 letter from the president ne year ago, at our last OPC Awards gala, paying tribute to two of our most courageous fallen heroes, I hardly imagined that I would be standing in the same position again with the identical burden. While last year, we faced the sad task of recognizing the lives and careers of two Oincomparable photographers, Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros, this year our attention turns to two writers — The New York Times’ Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times of London. While our focus then was on the horrors of Gadhafi’s Libya, it is now the Syria of Bashar al- Assad. All four of these giants of our profession gave their lives in the service of an ideal and a mission that we consider so vital to our way of life — a full, complete and objective understanding of a world that is so all too often contemptuous or ignorant of these values. Theirs are the same talents and accomplishments to which we pay tribute in each of our awards tonight — and that the Overseas Press Club represents every day throughout the year. For our mission, like theirs, does not stop as we file from this room. The OPC has moved resolutely into the digital age but our winners and their skills remain grounded in the most fundamental tenets expressed through words and pictures — unwavering objectivity, unceasing curiosity, vivid story- telling, thought-provoking commentary.

    Bethany Gen In the Shadow of the Carceral State: The Evolution of Feminist and Institutional Activism Against Sexual Violence Bethany Gen Honors Thesis in Politics Advisor: David Forrest Readers: Kristina Mani and Cortney Smith Oberlin College Spring 2021 Gen 2 “It is not possible to accurately assess the risks of engaging with the state on a specific issue like violence against women without fully appreciating the larger processes that created this particular state and the particular social movements swirling around it. In short, the state and social movements need to be institutionally and historically demystified. Failure to do so means that feminists and others will misjudge what the costs of engaging with the state are for women in particular, and for society more broadly, in the shadow of the carceral state.” Marie Gottschalk, The Prison and the Gallows: The Politics of Mass Incarceration in America, p. 164 ~ Acknowledgements A huge thank you to my advisor, David Forrest, whose interest, support, and feedback was invaluable.

  • Government and Police Efforts to Address Shining Path Actions Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa
    Home > Research > Responses to Information Requests RESPONSES TO INFORMATION REQUESTS (RIRs) New Search | About RIRs | Help 17 February 2011 PER103679.E Peru: Status and criminal activities of the Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso); government and police efforts to address Shining Path actions Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa Status of the Shining Path The Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) is listed as being associated with terrorism by Public Safety Canada (Canada 22 Dec. 2010). The EFE News Service reports that remnants of the Shining Path guerrilla group are present in the Upper Huallaga Valley under the command of Florindo Eleuterio Flores Hala, whose alias is "'Comrade Artemio,'" and in the Apurimac and Ene River Valley (Valle de los Ríos Apurímac y Ene, VRAE) region where they are led by Victor Quispe Palomino, whose alias is "'Comrade Jose'" (EFE News Service 30 Dec. 2010). In an interview with the Inter-Press Service (IPS), the author of The Shining Path, Gustavo Gorriti also states that the Shining Path has two different groups, one in the Upper Huallaga Valley and the other in the VRAE area, that are "largely hostile to each other" (IPS 4 Aug. 2008). Gorriti adds that the faction in the Upper Huallaga Valley region has suffered several setbacks, but the group in the VRAE region has been "visibly strengthened in recent years" (ibid.). Somewhat similarly, an assistant professor of Latin American history at the University of Alberta --- who is also the author of Before the Shining Path: Politics in Rural Ayacucho, 1895 - 1980 --- indicated in correspondence with the Research Directorate that the Shining Path has diminished in size and strength since 1992 and that it continues to function, although in "significantly modified form" (21 Jan.
