Haley∗ Abstract: The 1959 Supreme Court Grand Bench (en banc) decision in Sakata v. Japan1 (the Sunakawa case) was the first Supreme Court decision on Article 9 and the constitutionality of Japan's defense policies. In the precedent-setting decision, all fifteen justices endorsed the view that under Article 9 Japan retained a fundamental right of self-defense and could enter into treaties for mutual security. In the absence of an apparent or "clear" violation, the courts, Sunakawa held, must defer to the judgment of the political branches on the issue of constitutionality.

  • The Process of Restructuring the Imperial Household Ministry in Occupied Japan
    Hitotsubashi Bulletin of Social Sciences. Vol.5., 2013. The Process of Restructuring the Imperial Household Ministry in Occupied Japan Hajime Sebata The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the restructuring of the organization of Japan's Imperial Household Ministry in 1945-1949. The Emperor was the absolute sovereign and the supreme commander under the Meiji Constitution. The Imperial Household Ministry was independent from the government, authorized by imperial law and separate from the constitution. After WWII, General Headquarters (GHQ) of the Allied Forces wanted to reform the government of Japan. They took over the Emperor's authority and the property of the Imperial House, and set the Emperor as a "symbol" in the new constitution. Thereafter, all acts of the Emperor in matters of state would require the advice and approval of the Cabinet. The Imperial Household Ministry (Kunai-sho) lost much of its authority and was reorganized as the Imperial Household Offi ce (Kunai-fu). However, Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida strove to maintain the independence of the Imperial Household Offi ce. He believed its offi ce should be under the "jurisdiction" (not "management") of the Prime Minister. In Emperor Hirohito's "Postwar Tour," the officers in the Government Section of GHQ criticized the Imperial Household Offi ce as a violation of their policies. They believed that the views of the offi cers in the Imperial Household Offi ce were unchanging and therefore decided to introduce further reforms. Then Prime Minister Tetsu Katayama and Hitoshi Ashida had the same idea. Ashida reorganized the Imperial Household Offi ce as the Imperial Household Agency (Kunai-cho) under the "management" of the Prime Minister.

Drafted, negotiated and promulgated a mere fourteen months after Japan's formal surrender, 3 it has remained a model of stability amidst transformational changes in the domestic and international political landscape. 4 In the seventy-plus years since its adoption, it has not been amended once.s 1 Executive Director, Center for Japanese Legal Studies, and Lecturer in Law, Columbia Law School.

  • 'Japan': Prime Minister Abe's Political Rhetoric in Critical Perspective
    Bringing back ‘Japan’: Prime minister Abe’s political rhetoric in critical perspective. By: Chris G. Pope A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences School of East Asian Studies 27 May 2017 Abstract The thesis provides a detailed analysis of prime minister of Japan, Abe’s, political rhetoric. Adopting a critical realist approach to the analysis of political discourse,Shinzō the thesis aims to identify how Abe sought to legitimate the substantial changes to the state, its international conduct, and relationship with its citizens, including the reinterpretation of Article 9 of the constitution, Japan’s so-called ‘Peace Clause’. Abe returned to office in December 2012 promising to ‘bring back’ Japan, but under this aegis, the Abe administration has enacted wholesale changes to Japan’s social security, national economy and security agenda. While many of these changes are examined throughout, the thesis adopts depoliticization theory as an analytical tool and explanatory factor to discuss the changes in Japanese politics by parsing depoliticization into governmental, societal, and discursive forms. The analysis demonstrates how Abe relied on discursive depoliticization to legitimate changes by implementing a mixed-methods approach to discourse analysis using text-mining software to identify salient areas of speech, frame analysis to further characterize them, and critical discourse analysis for the micro- analysis of text. The thesis argues that Abe effectively depoliticized politically divisive issues by relying on the neoliberal account of globalization to justify substantial changes to Japan’s security agenda, economy and social infrastructure.

Indeed, the only biographical study of such a figure is a short and uncritical work on the British scholar and diplomat, Sir George Sansom, written and edited by his wife. The major works on Anglo-Japanese relations in general have been written by Ian Nish and Peter Lowe. The former has largely concentrated on the period of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, in his monographs The Anglo-Japanese Alliance: The Diplomacy of Two Island Empires, 1894-1907 and Alliance in Decline: A Study in Anglo-Japanese Relations, 1908-23.

Choi A Thesis in the Field of International Relations for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University June 2015 Abstract This study investigates Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s economic policy package, known as “Abenomics.” Abenomics is intended to end two decades of deflation in Japan, based on a Three Arrow approach (monetary policy, fiscal stimulus, and structural reform). This study examines how it is different from past policies and actions, its initial results, and the outlook concerning future results. In 1990, Japan’s asset bubble burst and the country became mired in two decades of deflation and low GDP growth. This study examines existing analysis and compare past policies to the present. It concludes that although the First Arrow (monetary policy) and Second Arrow (fiscal stimulus) have been able to achieve initial success, Abenomics may struggle to succeed without a firmly executed Third Arrow (structural reform).

  • 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.
