  • WWE Legend Mr. Fuji Passes Away
    WWE legend Mr. Fuji passes away Author : Robert D. Cobb The WWE universe lost a legend today. As reported through WWE.com, Former WWE Hall of Famer Mr. Fuji passed away at the age of 82. As of now, there is no cause for his passing. Mr. Fuji was involved in professional wrestling from 1965 until 1985 as a wrestler and then transformed into a heel manager from 1985 to 1996. He made his professional wrestling debut on December 15, 1965, in his native Hawaii. When he made his debut, though, he was under his ring name Mr. Fujiwara.It would be less than a month into his wrestling career that he would win his first belt, and that would be the NWA Hawaii Tag Team with Curtis Iaukea on January 7, 1966. It would be at that point where he would shorten his name to Mr. Fuji and would start touring many territories. Territories were a feature in wrestling before Vince McMahon bought the WWF into the 21st century and started buying up many of the territories. Mr. Fuji would continue to tour the territories util 1972. In 1972, he would make his debut for WWWF as a heel. He would form a tag team with Professor Tanaka and would be managed by one of the legendary heel managers, the Grand Wizard. During his run with Tanaka is where Mr. Fuji would begin throwing salt into his opponent's faces. He would win his first title in WWWF on June 27, 1972, when they would defeat Sonny King and Chief Jay Strongbow for the World Tag titles.

  • Japan's Security Relations with China Since 1989
    Japan’s Security Relations with China since 1989 The Japanese–Chinese security relationship is one of the most important vari- ables in the formation of a new strategic environment in the Asia-Pacific region which has not only regional but also global implications. The book investigates how and why since the 1990s China has turned in the Japanese perception from a benign neighbour to an ominous challenge, with implications not only for Japan’s security, but also its economy, role in Asia and identity as the first devel- oped Asian nation. Japan’s reaction to this challenge has been a policy of engagement, which consists of political and economic enmeshment of China, hedged by political and military power balancing. The unique approach of this book is the use of an extended security concept to analyse this policy, which allows a better and more systematic understanding of its many inherent contradictions and conflicting dynamics, including the centrifugal forces arising from the Japan–China–US triangular relationship. Many contradictions of Japan’s engagement policy arise from the overlap of military and political power-balancing tools which are part of containment as well as of engagement, a reality which is downplayed by Japan but not ignored by China. The complex nature of engagement explains the recent reinforcement of Japan’s security cooperation with the US and Tokyo’s efforts to increase the security dialogues with countries neighbouring China, such as Vietnam, Myanmar and the five Central Asian countries. The book raises the crucial question of whether Japan’s political leadership, which is still preoccupied with finding a new political constellation and with overcoming a deep economic crisis, is able to handle such a complex policy in the face of an increasingly assertive China and a US alliance partner with strong swings between engaging and containing China’s power.

  • Living Law in Japan: Social Jurisprudence in the Interwar Period
    Living Law in Japan: Social Jurisprudence in the Interwar Period Colin Philip Charles Jones Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Colin Philip Charles Jones All rights reserved ABSTRACT Living Law in Japan: Social Jurisprudence in the Interwar Period Colin Philip Charles Jones Scholarship on modern Japanese law tends to focus on the codification of Japan’s legal system in the 1890s and its dramatic overhaul after 1945. This dissertation argues that the interwar years constituted a third point of inflection that transformed Japanese law and laid the foundation for the Japanese welfare state. In the wake of World War I, amid varied and widespread social tumult, a group of influential professors at Tokyo Imperial University undertook to remake civil law as an instrument of social policy. They rejected the Japanese civil code as it was codified in the 1890s, along with the methods of strict interpretation developed by their teachers. In its place they envisioned a new paradigm of legal thinking and practice that they believed could mend tearing social fabric. Their ideas were inspired by a transnational discourse on the centrality of society to law that emerged at the end of the nineteenth century. In Japan they coalesced into a new and nationally distinct legal movement that came to be called “social jurisprudence” (shakai hōgaku). There were many elements, but the most notable were an emphasis on the indeterminacy of legal interpretation and a preference for informal conflict resolution, as opposed to the formal procedures of the modern judiciary.

  • The Domestic Environmental Movement in Contemporary Japan
    THE DOMESTIC ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT IN CONTEMPORARY JAPAN STRUCTURE, ACTIVITIES, PROBLEMS, AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE FOR THE BROADENING OF POLITICAL PARTICIPATION Von der Gemeinsamen Fakultät für Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften der Universität Hannover zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) genehmigte Dissertation von Wilhelm M. Vosse, M.A. geboren am 20. November 1963, in Lathen. 2000 Referent: Prof. Dr. Rudolf Wolfgang Müller Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Seifert Tag der Promotion: 9. Mai 2000 II III IV KEYWORDS Deutsch: Japan, politische Partizipation, Umweltbewegung. English: Japan, political participation, environmental movement. ABSTRACT IN DEUTSCHER SPRACHE Politisch ist die japanische Nachkriegszeit (nach 1945) von zwei grundsätzlichen Phänomenen gekennzeichnet, der Dominanz der Liberaldemokratischen Partei Japans (LDP), die zusammen mit einer sie unterstützenden Bürokratie sowie einer auf Protektion und gegenseitige Unterstützung angelegten Industrie- und Wirtschaftsstruktur Japan beinahe unangefochten beherrscht, sowie von sozialen Bewegungen im weitesten Sinne, die seit den 1950er Jahren bis in die frühen 1970er Jahre immer wieder auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen und mit verschiedenen Aktionsformen und Zielen versucht haben, die Dominanz der politischen und wirtschaftlichen Elite zu durchbrechen und das System sukzessive von unten zu öffnen. Letzteres schien Anfang der 1970er Jahre zu einem Teil gelungen zu sein, als besonders Umweltgruppen eine Reihe ihrer Ziele durchsetzen konnten und die Regierung sich unter anderem gezwungen sah, strengere Umweltgesetze zu erlassen und ein Umweltamt einzurichten. Diese Dissertation geht der grundsätzlichen Frage nach, inwiefern japanische soziale Bewegungen im Allgemeinen und die Umweltbewegung im Besonderen das politische Moment der frühen 1970er Jahre aufrechterhalten und nutzen konnten, um das relativ geschlossene politische System in Japan zumindest stellenweise für Bürger zu öffnen und den gesellschaftlichen Demokratisierungsprozess weiter voran zu treiben.

  • Here When It’S Put Online Is More up to Date Than If We Were Like Other Mags That Unavoidably Have to Go to the Printers a Couple of Weeks Before Getting in the Shops
    Page 2 Welcome to the first ever edition of Piledriver Online. Some of you will already be familiar with this publication as it has previously been available at shows and on subscription but now it has a new home on the internet in full colour and I sincerely hope you all enjoy this debut edition. So what’s different about Piledriver Online? Well, using this format one main difference is that the information here when it’s put online is more up to date than if we were like other mags that unavoidably have to go to the printers a couple of weeks before getting in the shops. We also have more pages and give plenty of coverage to UK wrestling, have more news coverage, more interviews and a look back at the history of professional wrestling home and abroad. Oh and of course it’s free to read! We will soon be launching Piledriver Plus and that will give you more news, competitions and features that will not appear in the main magazine all for just ten pounds a year (current subscribers need not apply). More about that at www.pildedriver-online.co.uk soon, oh and don’t forget to join our forums and if you’re interested in advertising with us at incredibly cheap rates and in full colour just go to our website for more details. We’re just weeks away from Wrestlemania now and the card is gradually taking shape, in fact the two main title matches were confirmed even before ‘No Way Out’ took place on February 18th which isn’t always the case as that PPV usually has a match to determine who gets a title shot at Wrestlemania and it’s not that long ago since the WWE title even changed hands at that PPV when Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar.
