  • Resume: Den Indenrigspolitiske Situation
    Statskonsulentrapport Tokyo Ambassaden Tokyo 5. november 2010 Resume: Indenrigspolitisk har starten af tredje kvartal været præget af en intern magtkamp mellem siddende Premierminister Naoto Kan og partifællen Ichiro Ozawa, som mange frygtede ville blive ikke bare premierministerens, men også regeringens endeligt. Denne frygt viste sig imidlertid ubegrundet, idet Premierminister Kan ikke alene formåede at fastholde formandsposten, men tillige endte med at gå ud af opgøret med et styrket politisk mandat. Dette styrkede mandat blev dog hurtigt sat på en prøve i den såkaldte "fiskeskippersag", som har skabt en alvorlig splid mellem Kina og Japan, der endnu ikke er bragt helt til ende. Sideløbende hermed synes det japanske værtskab for APEC at have fungeret som en katalysator for en intens debat om Japans fremtidige internationale handelspolitik, og helt specifikt et eventuelt japansk medlemsskab af Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) frihandels- aftalen. Mens Premierminister Kan synes at være en tilhænger af et sådant medlemsskab, har andre medlemmer af regeringen imidlertid stillet sig mere skeptiske, og det er derfor endnu usikkert hvad den endelige beslutning vil blive. Den indenrigspolitiske situation I kølvandet på DPJ’s (Democratic Party of Japan) nederlag ved Overhusvalget den 11. juli, annoncerede DPJ’s tidligere Generalsekretær Ichiro Ozawa, at han ville udfordre den siddende Premierminister og partiformand Naoto Kan på DPJ’s partikongres den 14. september 2010. Dette skabte stor uro i det politiske landskab, og en frygt for at interne stridigheder ville splitte partiet, og føre til nyvalg kun godt et år efter at DPJ kom til magten. Denne frygt viste sig dog at være ubegrundet, idet Naoto Kan genvandt formandskabet, og faktisk endte med at gå styrket ud af opgøret takket være en massiv folkelig opbakning i tiden op til partikongressen.

It is an independent group of arms-control and nonproliferation experts from seventeen countries, including both nuclear weapon and non-nuclear weapon states. The mission of the IPFM is to analyze the technical basis for practical and achievable policy initiatives to secure, consolidate, and reduce stockpiles of highly enriched urani- um and plutonium. These fissile materials are the key ingredients in nuclear weapons, and their control is critical to nuclear disarmament, halting the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and ensuring that terrorists do not acquire nuclear weapons. Both military and civilian stocks of fissile materials have to be addressed. The nuclear weapon states still have enough fissile materials in their weapon stockpiles for tens of thousands of nuclear weapons. On the civilian side, enough plutonium has been sepa- rated to make a similarly large number of weapons. Highly enriched uranium is used in civilian reactor fuel in more than one hundred locations.
