  • Japan and the United States in the Asian Financial Crisis Management
    CHAPTER 8 Japan and the United States in the Asian Financial Crisis Management Not even the Asian countries, with their “miracle econo- mies,”could escape the µnancial turmoil of the twenty-µrst century.1 In 1997, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Korea all experienced attacks on their currencies and stock markets, and their gov- ernments could not, on their own, manage these attacks or stabilize their economies. In response, the IMF, with the participation of Japan, the United States, and other governments, assembled international µnancial rescue packages in an effort to stabilize the international µnancial market. The com- bined total of aid committed through multilateral and bilateral channels reached more than $110 billion by the end of 1997. Japan’s involvement in the management of the Asian µnancial crisis2 presents a much more complex picture than its involvement in the series of Latin American crises analyzed in chapters 5 and 6. First, the Japanese gov- ernment’s actions and the style of leadership in managing the Asian crisis shifted over time from active and independent (early summer through fall 1997), to passive but cooperative (fall 1997 to mid-1998), to active with cau- tious independence (mid-1998 through 1999). Second, the Japanese govern- ment demonstrated ambivalence in cooperating with the United States and the IMF, by sometimes fully supporting their initiatives (e.g., in the second phase) and sometimes providing (or attempting to provide) alternative solu- tions to the crisis. This chapter analyzes the reasons for the variance in the Japanese government’s actions in Asian crisis management by applying the same theoretical framework as chapters 5 and 6: the importance of joint prod- uct and transnational linkages.

Shorenstein APARC’s mission is to produce and publish outstanding interdisciplinary, Asia-Pacific– focused research; educate students, scholars, and corporate and governmental affiliates; promote constructive interaction to influence U.S. policy toward the Asia-Pacific; and guide Asian nations on key issues of societal transition, development, U.S.-Asia relations, and regional cooperation. The Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies Stanford University Encina Hall Stanford, CA 94306-6055 http://shorenstein.stanford.edu 2 About the Author Tetsufumi Arita has been a reporter for the Japanese newspaper, Asahi Shimbun, since 990. He has extensive experience in reporting business and political news. Arita was a visiting fellow at the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center between 2004 and 2005. 2 3 4 Abstract For the past five years, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) has employed an unconventional monetary easing policy, called quantitative monetary easing. Under a zero interest rate regime, the BOJ shifted its tool for monetary easing from interest rates to quantity of money, thus providing the money market with much more money than it needs. It is difficult to find evidence that this monetary easing has contributed to the current economic recovery. What we can show is that this quantitative easing diluted the functions of interest rates in the money market, with the following consequences: quantitative easing hid the risks of the huge amount of fiscal debt and supported troubled commercial banks.

  • Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia
    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Chiavacci, (eds) Grano & Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia East Democratic in State the and Society Civil Edited by David Chiavacci, Simona Grano, and Julia Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Between Entanglement and Contention in Post High Growth Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Protest and Social Movements Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

  • How Japan's Ministry of Finance Orchestrates Its Own Reformation
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 22, Issue 1 1998 Article 5 Master of Puppets: How Japan’s Ministry of Finance Orchestrates Its Own Reformation Gregory D. Ruback∗ ∗ Copyright c 1998 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Master of Puppets: How Japan’s Ministry of Finance Orchestrates Its Own Reformation Gregory D. Ruback Abstract This Comment analyzes Japan’s effort to create a competitive securities market that is free, transparent, and reliable. Part I describes Japan’s regulatory environment, emphasizing the power and authority of the Ministry and its influence within the Japanese government and over the secu- rities industry. Part II details elements of the Big Bang reforms and describes the current political situation that will influence the effectiveness of the reforms. Part III addresses the probable effec- tiveness of the reforms in the context of Japan’s regulatory structure, past scandals and reforms, and current political environment. Finally, this Comment argues that the Ministry has the ability to control the reformation of the securities industry because of the Ministry’s extensive influence within the government and over the securities industry. In addition, this Comment argues that the reforms initiated by the Japanese government will be ineffective in changing the regulation of the securities industry because the reforms threaten to reduce the Ministry’s authority over the securities industry.

  • This Study Discusses Recognition of Israel’S Responsibility Vis-À-Vis Palestinian Refugees
    Study on Recognition of Israel’s responsibility First Draft By Shahira Samy1, Introduction: This study discusses recognition of Israel’s responsibility vis-à-vis Palestinian refugees. In so doing it relies on examination of recognition / acceptance of responsibility/ apology processes in precedent cases in international practice. Particularly, two cases are invoked: The case of the Korean Comfort women and ???? The objective in examining the precedents is to develop delivery scenarios and propose language options for a statement of recognition of responsibility from Israel. Precedents of state recognition/ apology: "We want our experience to be written in history so that the next generation and people in other countries will know what happened to us and for us to be given justice. The Japanese government has to admit to what the Japanese soldiers did, we need an apology and compensation from the Japanese government". A former Korean ‘comfort woman’ Background: One of the most compelling examples of sexual slavery and the denial of justice to victims was the system of institutionalized sexual slavery used by the Japanese Imperial Army before and during World War II and subsequent denials of responsibility for the system by the Japanese government. The women forced into sexual servitude were euphemistically known as "comfort women". In Korea they call them halmoni or grandmothers – In Japan, they are known as "comfort women", a hated euphemism for their forced role of providing "comfort" to marauding Japanese troops in military brothels. Sex slaves is another term associated with them. Up to 200,000 "comfort women" were sexually enslaved by the Japanese Imperial Army from around 1932 to the end of World War II.

  • Lesson Four______Single Party Governance: Early Benefit and Long-Term Costs
    Lesson Four_________________________________________ SINGLE PARTY GOVERNANCE: EARLY BENEFIT AND LONG-TERM COSTS Organizing • What are some distinctive aspects of Japan’s political system? Questions • What have the early benefits and long-term costs of Japan’s political system been? • How does Japan’s political system compare to those of other countries? Introduction On Day One, students answer questions on an anticipation guide prior to viewing a lecture on the Japanese government and politics. During the lecture, students take notes and complete a handout of discussion questions in class and as homework. On Day Two, students review the handout of discussion questions. Then, the teacher assigns each student a Japanese prime minister to research. Students begin their research in class and complete their assignment as homework. On Day Three, students present their assigned prime ministers to the class and discuss their findings. Students then participate in an activity through which they compare and contrast political issues in Japan with issues in other countries. For homework, they create cartoons depicting one of these issues. On Day Four, students display their cartoon strips around the room, observe their classmates’ work, and discuss. Students then revisit their anticipation guide from the beginning of the lesson. Objectives In this lesson, students will • learn about distinctive aspects of Japan’s political system; • analyze the positive and negative aspects of Japan’s political system; • compare and contrast Japan’s political system to those of other countries; • learn about Japan’s prime ministers; and • theorize what Japan’s government should or should not do to make sure it is serving the common good.
