By examining the political heritage, the economic experience and even the national myths that tie people together; by exploring the cultural, religious, and social forces that have molded a nation, we can begin to better understand each other and contribute to the knowledge and understanding that will strengthen our ties of friendship and lead to a better world.” —Mike Mansfield “…a vigorous program of exchanges is the surest way, over the long term, to build a true community of Asia Pacific nations.” —Mike Mansfield 1 The Mike Mansfield Fellowships “It has long been evident that the U.S.-Japan relationship has far-reaching consequences not only for the Pacific region but also for other parts of the world. In establishing the Mike Mansfield Fellowships, the U.S. Congress has taken an important step toward developing a new generation of government officials with a deeper understanding of Japan and close working relationships with Japanese officials. With the strong support of the government of Japan, the Mansfield Fellowship Program gives U.S. government officials a unique opportunity to learn about Japan and its government from the inside. We are pleased to see that U.S. agencies are making significant use of the Fellows who have completed the program, assigning them responsibility for Japan issues and cooperative programs and relying on their expertise and advice on how to work with Japan and foster close coordination on a wide range of issues.

  • Economic Sanctions by Japan Against North Korea: Consideration of the Legislation Process for FEFTCL (February 2004) and LSMCIPESS (June 2004)

    International Journal of Korean Unification Studies Economic Sanctions by Japan against North Korea: Consideration of the Legislation Process for FEFTCL (February 2004) and LSMCIPESS (June 2004) Satoru Miyamoto Abstract The Japanese government hardly imposed economic sanctions against North Korea when they launched a missile in August 1998. However, when North Korea launched missiles again in July 2006, the Japanese government began to impose strong economic sanctions because the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law (FEFTCL) and the Law for Special Measures Concerning Interdiction of Ports Entry by Specific Ships (LSMCIPESS) had been revised or enacted newly in 2004. It took six years since the suggestion of revising or enacting these two laws in 1998 to consummating them. Moreover, they are not cabinet-initiated legislation but lawmaker-initiated legislation. This paper explores the reasons why it took six years until the Diet members passed the bill given the relations between Japan and the United States, the relations between Japan and North Korea, and the relations between the Diet and the Cabinet in Japan. Key Words: economic sanctions, the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law, the Law for Special Measures Concerning Interdiction of Ports Entry by Specific Ships, Japan-North Korea relations, the Diet and the Cabinet relations Vol. 15, No. 2, 2006, pp. 21-46. Copyrightⓒ2006 by KINU 22 Economic Sanctions by Japan against North Korea Introduction In the immediate aftermath of the launch of seven missiles by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on July 5, 2006, the Japanese government decided to impose economic sanctions that eventually prohibited port entry to the North Korean ship Man Gyong Bong 92.
