  • Japan 2020: Abe's Well-Laid Plans Go Awry
    Corey Wallace and Giulio Pugliese “Japan 2020: Abe’s Well-Laid Plans Go Awry”, Asia Maior XXXI/2020 (forthcoming) JAPAN 2020: ABE’S WELL-LAID PLANS GO AWRY1 Corey Wallace Kanagawa University [email protected] Giulio Pugliese University of Oxford and European University Institute [email protected] Like elsewhere, the COVID-19 pandemic caused substantial disruptions in Japan. While generous fiscal spending mitigated the pandemic’s economic fallout, and Japan is poised in 2021 to rebound from its year-on-year 4.8% fall in GDP, there was significant political fallout in 2020. The postponement of the Olympic Games, the Abe government’s perceived inability to tackle the pandemic, and the (re)surfacing of political scandals led to Japan’s longest-serving Prime Minister popularity plummeting. The re-emergence of Abe’s health problems then precipitated his abrupt resignation. This ushered in the premiership of Suga Yoshihide, who promised to enact structural reforms and ambitious digitalization and environmental programmes, while also promising to continue significant elements of Abe’s policy agenda. Internationally, COVID-19 accelerated US-China tensions and, in connection to that, China’s regional assertiveness. This perceived assertiveness as well as China’s political involution and human rights violations in Hong Kong and Xinjiang, in turn, hardened the Japanese government’s position vis-à-vis Beijing. This happened despite Abe’s early 2020 efforts towards hosting a state visit by the Chinese president. Instead, the year instead ended with a «Quad» meeting at the ministerial level, hosted in Tokyo, rather than an entente with China.

Greene: Book Review: Otaku and the Struggle for Imagination in Japan Galbraith, Patrick. Otaku and the Struggle for Imagination in Japan. Duke University Press, 2019. ix + 327 pages. Hardcover, $104.95. Patrick Galbraith's Otaku and the Struggle for Imagination in Japan is an engaging addition to both his own body of work and the larger body of existing research into otaku culture and consumption. Otaku is the term for people with an all-consuming interest in anime and manga. Galbraith, a lecturer at Senshu University, has spent over a decade engaging in participant observation in Akihabara among those typically identified by outsiders as otaku and within the innumerable maid cafés dot that area of Tokyo. This deep understanding of this subculture provides the book with its fascinating perspective on the otaku phenomenon and some of its more interesting case studies.
