This thesis aims to explore this question by looking at Japan’s foreign policy in the region and uncovering how political actors manipulated the concept of nationalism in foreign policy discourse.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

  • 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).

  • Regionalism Rises in Japan to Confront COVID-19
    Asian Legal Conversations — COVID-19 Asian Law Centre Melbourne Law School Regionalism Rises in Japan to Confront COVID-19 Dan Rosen* Modern-day Japan may be known as a country with centralized authority, but that was not always so. Much of the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries involved regional leaders known as daimyo (literal translation: big names) resisting centralization of power. The era is known as the Warring States Period. The current era of coronavirus is showing similar clashes. The effective control exercised by the Kamakurabakufu , established in the late 12th century, had weakened under its successor, the Ashikaga shogunate. Many daimyo felt little desire to share their wealth and influence with any one overarching power holder. Moreover, considering the difficulty of transportation and communication at that time, independent-minded daimyo believed they could hold their own against any single group that would seek to exert influence across the entire archipelago. Everything unraveled with the outbreak of the Onin War in 1467. A series of warlords, none of whom had an aversion to blood, tried to put the pieces together. Oda Nobunaga tried but fell short. Toyotomi Hideyoshi went next. He came close. Finally, Tokugawa Ieyasu succeeded, prevailing in the Battle of Sekigahara (1600), which pitted East against West, and established the Tokugawa bakufu by 1603. The Tokugawa period lasted until the “restoration” of power to the Emperor in 1868. The point of this review of history is to show that the Japanese are neither culturally nor historically disposed toward strong central authority. To the contrary; centralization was only accomplished through violence and coercion.

  • 2017 Japan: Shinzō Abe Wins a New Mandate
    At a glance October 2017 Japan: Shinzō Abe wins a new mandate Shinzō Abe won the snap elections he called for the lower house on 22 October 2017. Despite her popularity, Tokyo's governor Yuriko Koike failed to convince the electorate to oust a prime minister in charge since December 2012. The newly created Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan became the main opposition force in the House of Representatives. In coalition with Kōmeitō, Abe's Liberal Democratic Party holds a two-thirds majority enabling it to pass constitutional amendments. The outcome of the 22 October 2017 elections On 22 October 2017, elections for the lower chamber (House of Representatives) of Japan's Parliament took place. Turnout was 53.69 %, reversing a long-term declining trend (2014 had seen a record low of 52.66 %) despite a powerful typhoon that might have encouraged voters to stay at home. The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) was confirmed as the country's largest party, with 281 seats. Its partner Kōmeitō obtained 29 seats. With a combined 310 seats, they retain two thirds of the lower chamber, the majority needed to revise the Constitution, one of Abe's goals. The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDPJ) became the main opposition party, obtaining 54 seats. The CDPJ is Japan’s smallest main opposition party since 1955. Tokyo's governor Yuriko Koike's Kibō no Tō (Party of Hope) obtained 50 seats. Shinzō Abe won his fourth mandate. Grandson of Nobusuke Kishi, prime minister in the 1950s, his first mandate was from September 2006 to September 2007, when he became, at 52, Japan’s youngest post-War prime minister and the first to have been born after the war.
