Internationally, the Center co-sponsored three conferences—an all-time record. At home in Washington, it hosted an unusually large and cosmopolitan group of nine Visiting Scholars from four nations, including its first two scholars from European universities, and convened 35 events of great variety. The alumni network expanded steadily to new corners of the globe, with former Visiting Fellows serving in international locations ranging from Hanoi and Manila to Teheran, as well as Tokyo and Washington. The Center also hosted student interns from Japan and South Korea, as well as the United States. One special highlight of this year was the award to Reischauer Center Director Kent Calder of the Order of the Rising Sun with Gold Rays and Neck Ribbon, one of the highest honors awarded to foreign nationals by the Japanese government, for his contribution to academic research on Japan in the United States, and to the US-Japan relationship. A student of Professor Edwin O. Reischauer at Harvard University, Calder has published eleven books dealing with Japanese politics and comparative political economy in Asia, eight of which have appeared in both English and Japanese. He has also served as Special Advisor to the US Ambassador to Japan, Japan Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, first Executive Director of the Harvard University US-Japan Program, Lecturer on Government at Harvard, and as a tenured professor at Princeton University, before moving to SAIS in 2003. Professor Calder received his award from Ambassador Kenichiro Sasae, at a special ceremony at the Japanese Ambassador’s residence in Washington, on October 17, 2014. Professor Calder is pictured here at the awards ceremony, together with his wife Toshiko, as well as Ambassador Sasae. 2 The award to Professor Calder was noteworthy, not so much for his personal accomplishments, as for the remarkable record it set in the broader world of Japan Studies. Calder was the fifth faculty associate of the Reischauer Center to receive the Order of the Rising Sun, in the short thirty-year history of the Center, with his faculty colleague Rust Deming having received the same award the previous year. Before Calder and Deming, George Packard, founder of the Reischauer Center and SAIS Dean; William Sherman, former Deputy Chief of Mission at US Embassy Tokyo; and Nathaniel Thayer, former Public Affairs Officer (PAO) at US Embassy Tokyo, all had previously received the Order of the Rising Sun. Few if any universities—let alone research centers within universities—can match that record. The Reischauer Center’s achievements go far beyond career contributions to trans-Pacific relations. In early fall, an unusually able group of nine Visiting Scholars arrived at the Reischauer Center for the academic year. They included representatives from Japan’s Ministries of Finance, Defense, and METI, as well as from the private sector, media organizations as well as major universities. A special first this year was the participation of two visiting fellows from European universities—one from the Free University of Berlin, and a second from the University of London. The Fellows participated in academic seminars and conferences, while also presenting their own research at informal brownbag luncheons. These luncheons and related receptions also provided opportunity for informal dialogue with current and former officials in Washington, including Marc Knapper, Director of the Office of Indian Affairs, and Suzanne Basalla, former Special Assistant to US Ambassador to Japan John Roos; as well as prominent business people, such as Paul Sheard, Chief Economist of Standard and Poors. The Visiting Fellows, together with Reischauer Center staff, as well as MA students in Japan Studies, are pictured below. Lectures are a traditional part of the Reischauer Center’s academic activities, but this year was unique. The Center was pleased to have Japanese Ambassador Kenichiro Sasae deliver a special 3 Reischauer Memorial Lecture, dealing with “New Dimensions of US-Japan Cooperation”, on February 3, 2015. Ambassador Sasae is pictured below, as he was delivering his address at Kenney Auditorium, to be followed by a reception in his honor. Although Ambassador Sasae’s lecture was a policy highlight, the Reischauer Center also hosted numerous other major speakers across the year. A full list is appended to this volume. Among these contributions to the Center’s intellectual life, Charles Morrison, President of the East-West Center, and a SAIS alum, spoke on “Asia-Pacific Megatrends” (below). Michael Plummer, Director of SAIS Europe, spoke on “ASEAN Economic Cooperation and the Asia-Pacific Future”. And Louis Forster, former Senior Managing Director at Cerberus Capital Management Japan and a Johns Hopkins University Trustee, spoke on “Distressed Private Equity in Japan.” 4 International conferences were an unusually prominent dimension of Reischauer Center activities this year. On September 8, the Center hosted a major conference on “Korea, Turkey, and Eurasian Continentalism”, co-sponsored by Yonsei University, with support from the Korea Foundation, and keynoted by Korean Ambassador to the United States Ho-Young Ahn. On September 30, the Reischauer Center hosted a second major conference, dealing with the US- Japan alliance in the 21st century, and co-sponsored with the Japan Economic Foundation. Speakers included former Japanese Ambassador to the United States Ichiro Fujisaki, as well as recent International Energy Agency Director Nobuo Tanaka and senior current US officials from the US State Department and the US Treasury. Scenes from the conference are pictured below. 5 A third Reischauer Center international conference was perhaps the most historic. On June 22- 25, 2015, the Center, jointly with the National University of Mongolia, explored “Eurasian Continentalism”, at a gathering in Ulan Bator, Mongolia involving US, Russian, and Mongolian diplomats, as well as scholars from those three countries. This was reportedly the first academic conference ever to be held in Mongolia and sponsored by SAIS; the participants are pictured below. SAIS scholars were also active in an individual capacity outside Washington. Ambassador Rust Deming was involved in numerous gatherings in Japan, including the Mt. Fuji Forum, sponsored by the Japan Economic Research Center. Professor Bill Brooks spent the summer of 2014 in residence at Waseda University, conducting research. And Professor Kent Calder received the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Eagle on the Sun Award in November, 2014, and then spoke at its annual New Year’s Symposium in January, 2015. During this academic year the Reischauer Policy Research Fellowship Program, founded in May, 2013, began to take on stronger and stronger momentum. Chosen through a nationwide search, Fellows participate actively in major research projects at the Reischauer Center while also engaging more broadly with the Washington policy community. Fellows during this academic year included Michael Kotler of Claremont McKenna College, who did summer internship work with Morgan Stanley; Sung Hui Yang of Mt. Holyoke College, who participated in the historic Mongolia conference and worked actively on Eurasian continentalism as well as Japanese political economy; Yun Han, outstanding 2015 graduate of SAIS Japan Studies, researching 6 China-Europe relations; and most recently Katie Botto, Johns Hopkins ’15, working on global political cities. These new Reischauer Policy Research Fellows for the 2015 year are pictured below.

  • Taiwan's Fight for International Space
    21 TAIWAN’S FIGHT FOR INTERNATIONAL SPACE Michael C. Burgoyne The Taiwan Strait separating Taiwan and the People’s Republic of Chi- na (PRC) has long been considered a geopolitical flashpoint. Both sides continue to plan and prepare for a kinetic attempt by the PRC to coerce Taiwan into unification. However, the gains in the conflict between these two entities have largely been made in non-kinetic ways: fights over dip- lomatic recognition and attendance in international bodies, among others. The battleground in which this non-kinetic fight has taken place has come to be labeled “international space,” where Taiwan is striving for mean- ingful participation in the international community—broadly defined and evaluated in this chapter as diplomatic relations and participation in inter- governmental organizations (IGO)—and the PRC is trying to isolate the island from these interactions. Having its roots in the Chinese civil war that culminated in the 1940s, this fight is crucially important for both sides. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) sees Taiwan as a matter of legitimacy. The Party portrays itself as a staunch defender of sovereignty and territorial integrity to its citizens, yet Taiwan remains outside its control, which it feels could dele- gitimize it in the eyes of the populace. Constricting Taiwan’s international space is a way to leave Taiwan with no other choice than eventual unifica- tion. Taiwan sees itself as a separate country in a practical sense, with a strong, advanced economy and many advantages; yet it is only recognized as a country by 14 nations, and lacks representation in many IGOs.

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.

The Japanese Empire was a transnational one and one that existed during a time of increasing internationalism. In the field there has not been as much attention to the role that Pan-Asianism has played in the foreign relations of Japan. I will study this by using English language Pan-Asianist texts as well as Japanese governmental and semi- governmental publication cross-referenced with United States Department of State archive to see the effect of such texts on the ideology. The effect was usually negligible, but the reasons and avenue that it was pursued may be even more important and interesting. The focus is on the time period from 1931 until 1934 because that it when the massive changes occurred in Japan within a rapidly changing international environment.

  • Taiwan in Japan's Security Considerations Soeya Yoshihide
    Taiwan in Japan’s Security Considerations Soeya Yoshihide During the Cold War period, particularly after the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, Japan’s political and security relations with the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan had to cope with the realities of “two Chinas,” with the history of the Japanese colonization of Taiwan and its military aggression in China compelling post-war Japan to assume basi- cally “non-strategic” security orientation. The fundamental argument in this article is that Japan’s de facto “two Chinas” policy throughout much of the post-war period was not the result of careful consideration of its security priorities, but was rather a choice by default. A serious problem in the post-war study of Japanese foreign policy in general is often a result of over-estimating Japan’s “strategic” responses and over-reading its “strategic” thinking. This preoccupation with Japan as a strategic player is often revealed in the tendency to count it as one of the four major powers with the United States, Russia and China, but this has long been a fundamental source of confusion in the discourse and study about Japan. Here, “strategic” is used to refer to the nature of behaviour and thinking of powers which are capable and prepared to affect the structure of international politics as poles of the structure. Among the so-called four major powers, the United States, China and Russia have been such poles, but Japan was clearly not. This is why the fundamental premise of Japanese foreign and security policy has been the U.S.–Japan security relationship, and the robustness of the relationship, despite some recur- ring friction and political frustrations, is a testimony to the fact that Japan was not a comparable power to the United States, China and Russia.

Having long focused on internal politics and the intricacies of Japanese bureaucracy, Prime Minister Suga is now facing the task of navigating an increasingly tense and uncertain strategic situation, with stakes going far beyond Japan’s borders and immediate environment in the context of the unresolved COVID-19 pandemic.1 The challenges that Prime Minister Suga is facing are manifold and diverse; some can be considered long-term or permanent. Others are relatively new or continued trends with new effects on the strategic balance of power and threats to the region and beyond. Permanencies North Korean missile threat In terms of threats, though mentioned with less frequency in recent months, North Korea remains the most immediate and vital threat for Japan. Contrary to expectations after the Trump-Kim meeting in Singapore in 2018, North Korea has never put a stop to its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Since ending a one-year moratorium in May 2019, North Korea has carried out 35 tests as of April 2020, all successful but one.

  • Renewed Hope in the Year of the Golden Pig
    Comparative Connections A Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations Regional Overview: Renewed Hope in the Year of the Golden Pig Ralph A. Cossa, Pacific Forum CSIS Brad Glosserman, Pacific Forum CSIS The Year of the Golden Pig has gotten off to an auspicious beginning. The Six-Party Talks, seemingly left for dead at the end of last quarter, were miraculously revived, resulting in an “action for action” game plan for the phased implementation of the September 2005 joint denuclearization agreement. Neither weather nor terrorism concerns prevented the second East Asia Summit from taking place as rescheduled, with the U.S. nowhere to be found. ASEAN leaders also took a step forward in examining their first formal Charter while agreeing with their Plus Three partners (China, Japan, and South Korea, finally once again on speaking terms) to promote greater regional integration. Tokyo and Canberra took a dramatic step forward in strengthening bilateral security cooperation, while the second “Armitage-Nye Report” was released, laying out a bipartisan vision for “getting Asia right.” Korean Peninsula disarmament talks resume The previous two quarters had begun with a blast-off and a bang, respectively, as North Korean missile and nuclear tests had raised the ante and seemed to diminish the prospects for a negotiated denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, the promises embodied in the September 2005 Joint Statement notwithstanding. Last quarter ended on an equally pessimistic note when the first round of Six-Party Talks in 13 months went nowhere; the participants could not even agree on a date to meet again. Obituary notices turned out to be premature, however, with not one but two Six-Party Talks plenary sessions taking place this quarter.
