The objective of the HRD Project is to solidify the foundation of technologies for nuclear development and utilization in Asia by promoting human resources development in Asian countries. In the Project there are two kind of activities; in-workshop activities and outside-of-workshop activities. As in-workshop activities, the 2nd Workshop on Human Resources Development in the Nuclear Field was held on November 27 and 28,2000, at the Tokai Research Institute of JAERI. As outside-of- workshop activities, The presentation of the present state of intemational training and education in the nuclear field in Japan" was held on November 29,2000 after the workshop. Participating countries were China, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The secretariat for the Human Resources Development Projects is provided by the Nuclear Technology and Education Center of the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. This report consists of presentation papers and materials at the Workshop, presentation documents of 'The present state of intemational training and education in the nuclear field in Japan", a letter of proposal from the Project Leader of Japan to the project leaders of the participating countries after the Workshop and a presentation paper on Human Resources Development at the 3rd Coordinators Meeting of FNCA at Tokyo on March 14-16,2001.

  • 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.

  • The Jump to Organic Agriculture in Japan Lessons from Tea, Denmark, and Grassroots Movements
    The jump to organic agriculture in Japan Lessons from tea, Denmark, and grassroots movements Rural Sociology group/ Shigeru Yoshida (580303980100)/ MSc Organic Agriculture Chair group: Rural Sociology Name: Shigeru Yoshida (580303980100) Study program: MSc Organic Agriculture Specialization: Sustainable food systems Code: RSO80436 Short title: The Jump to organic agriculture in Japan Date of submission: 16/04/2020 Abstract This research aims to clarify the reasons for the slow growth of organic farming in Japan and proposes possible government interventions to accelerate it. First, organic tea farming, which has increased exceptionally, is investigated. Second, a comparison between the organic market and governmental support for organics in Japan and Denmark is made. Denmark has the highest share of organic food relative to conventional food in the world. Finally, local organic markets emerging recently as a grassroots movement in local areas are investigated. This research found that the rapid increase of organic tea production is clearly led by a growing export market that increased the demand for organic products. In contrast, the domestic organic market is small because the Japanese consumers have not a strong motivation to buy organic foods due to the lack of awareness of organic agriculture. On the contrary, the Danish consumers are well aware that organic agriculture provides desired public goods. This is a result of government policies that have intervened at the demand side. The local organic markets in Japan may stimulate supermarkets to handle more organic products and coexist with them. I conclude that the national and local government interventions supporting market sectors, school-lunches, and the local organic market may result in an increase of consumer awareness, expansion of the organic market, and consequently, accelerating an increase in organic practices in Japan.

  • An Analysis of the Japanese Credit Network
    Evol. Inst. Econ. Rev. 7(2): 209–232 (2011) ARTICLE An Analysis of the Japanese Credit Network Giulia De MASI*, Yoshi FUJIWARA**1), Mauro GALLEGATI*, Bruce GREENWALD*** and Joseph E. STIGLITZ*** * Universita Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy ** ATR Laboratories, Kyoto, Japan *** Columbia University, New York, USA Correspondence: Yoshi Fujiwara, ATR Laboratories, MIS, Kyoto 619–0288, Japan. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract An analysis of the Japanese credit market in 2004 between banks and quoted firms is done in this paper using the tools of the networks theory. It can be pointed out that: (i) a backbone of the credit channel emerges, where some links play a crucial role. (ii) Big banks favor long-term contracts. The “minimal spanning trees” (iii) disclose a highly hierarchical backbone, where the central positions are occupied by the largest banks, and (iv) a strong geographical characterization is emphasized, while (v) the clusters of firms do not have specific common properties. Moreover, (vi) while larger firms have multiple lending stakes, (vii) the demand for credit (long vs. short term debt and multi-credit lines) of firms with similar sizes is very heterogeneous. Keywords: Banks-firms credit, Credit topology, Short-long term loans, Complex network. 1. Introduction Debt-credit relationships between firms and banks have a long history in economics (Schumpeter, 1911). It has been widely recognized since Debreu (1959) that integrating money in the theory of value represented by the General Equilibrium model is problematic at best. No economic agent can individually decide to monetize alone; monetary trade should be the equilibrium outcome of market interactions among optimizing agents.

We begin with the Center for Research on Information Technology and Organizations (CRITO) research framework, which examines the forces for globalization and e-commerce readiness as the pre-conditions for the diffusion and adoption of e-commerce. In Japan, these factors are embedded in the social organization of corporate groupings (keiretsu) and its political economy (iron triangle).

  • Why Are Japanese Women Having Fewer Children?
    Gender, Family and Fertility: Why are Japanese Women Having Fewer Children? Kazue Kojima PhD University of York The Center for Women’s Studies 2013 September Abstract Japanese women are having fewer children than ever before. There have been many quantitative studies undertaken to attempt to reveal the reasons behind this. The Japanese government has been concerned about the future economic decline of the country, and has been encouraging women to have more children. Although the Japanese government has been supporting women financially, it has not focused on gender equality, making it more difficult for women to be able to pursue their chosen careers. Japanese women have greater access to higher education than ever before, yet the Japanese patriarchal social structure still compels women to rely on men and all but eliminates their independence. The Japanese male-dominated society is resistant want to change. Family ties are still very strong, and women are expected to take care of the household and do unpaid work, while men work outside the home and earn a paid salary. In the labour force, women do not enjoy the same level of equality and opportunity as their male counterparts, as it is naturally marry, have children, and take care of the family. The system is skewed in favor of the males. Women are not able to pursue the same career path as men; even from the start, women are often considered as candidates for potential wives for the male workers. In the course of this research, I conducted a total of 22 interviews of single and married Japanese women.
