Executive Intelligence Review, Volume 22, Number 20, May 12, 1995 The book that will unleash a musical revolution- "This Manual is an indispensable contribution to A Manual on the Rudiments of the true history of music and a guide to the inter­ pretation of music, particularly regarding the tone production of singers and string players alike.... I fully endorse this book and congratulate Lyndon LaRouche on his initiative." Tunin and -Norbert Brainin, founder and firstviolinist, g Amadeus Quartet " ...without any doubt an excellent initiative.It is particularly important to raise the question of Re istration tuning in connection with bel canto technique, g since today's high tuning misplaces all register shifts, and makes it very difficult for a singer to have the sound float above the breath.... What is true for the voice, is also true for instruments." BOOK I: -CarloBergonzi Introduction and Human Singing Voice From Tiananmen Square to Berlin, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was chosen as the "theme song" of the revolution for human dignity, because Beethoven's work is the highest expression of Classical beauty. Now, for the first time, a Schiller Institute team of musicians and scientists, headed by statesman and philosopher Lyndon H. LaRouche, J r., presents a manual to teach the uni­ versal principles which underlie the creation of great works of Classical musical art.

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 Politics of Telecommunications Reform in Japan
    The Politics of Telecommunications Reform in Japan Hidetaka Yoshimatsu The International Centre for the Study of East Asian Development Kitakyushu, Japan 1 Ever since the early 1980s, telecommunications reform has been one of the most critical policy issues in Japan, the United States, and others. The reform often aims to introduce competition into the markets previously dominated by monopolistic company. Given the influence of such a reform on the overall economies and industries, the reform process is likely to accompany the political conflict among politicians, bureaucrats, and private business. This study analyses the telecommunication reform process in Japan, and seeks to contribute to the understanding of the issue of how the Japanese policy-making process is characterised. This issue is one of the most controversial issues regarding Japanese politics and political economy. Early studies of the Japanese political system articulated the bureaucracy-dominant model, seeing the bureaucracy as a dominant role in the policy-making process in Japan. In recent years, quite a few scholars present the pluralistic model of the Japanese political system, arguing that the influence of bureaucracy vis-à-vis politicians has been waning, and that societal actors have played a significant role in shaping economic policy in some cases.1 In order to clarify the nature of the political system, it is a useful way to analyse the development of debates in a particular policy issue, paying attention to the issues of who are involved in the policy-making process with what preferences, and what political interactions are undertaken among the major actors. For this purpose, many scholars have conducted research on specific industrial sectors in Japan (Samuels, 1987; Friedman, 1988; Rosenbluth, 1989; Noble, 1989; Tilton, 1990).

The Stimson project on nuclear security explores the practical dimensions of this critical 21st century debate, to identify both political and technical obstacles that could block the road to “zero,” and to outline how each of these could be removed. Led by Stimson's co-founder and Distinguished Fellow Dr. Barry Blechman, the project provides useful analyses that can help US and world leaders make the elimination of nuclear weapons a realistic and viable option. The series comprises country assessments, published in a total of six different monographs, and a separate volume on such technical issues as verification and enforcement of a disarmament regime, to be published in the fall. This sixth monograph in the series, following volumes on France and the United Kingdom, China and India, Israel and Pakistan, Iran and North Korea, and Russia and the United States, examines three countries without nuclear weapons of their own, but which are nonetheless key states that would need to be engaged constructively in any serious move toward eliminating nuclear weapons.

    CENTRE FOR EAST AND SOUTH-EAST ASIAN STUDIES MASTER’S PROGRAMME IN ASIAN STUDIES ESTABLISHING A TWO-PARTY SYSTEM IN JAPAN ICHIRO OZAWA AND HIS DREAM OF ‘NORMAL NATION’ Li Xianwen May 2010 Supervisor: Mayumi Saegusa Li 2 ESTABLISHING A TWO­PARTY SYSTEM IN JAPAN ICHIRO OZAWA AND HIS DREAM OF ‘NORMAL NATION’ Li Xianwen May 2010 In the 1990s, since the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has dominated Japanese politics for nearly forty years, making Japanese politics more democratic became a hot issue. Many politicians and political organizations in Japan had joined the debate. A bestseller book, Blueprint For A New Japan, written by Ichiro Ozawa, arguing that establishing a two‐party system is the best way to make Japan more democratic. The two‐party system is the key factor of being a ‘normal nation’ that Ozawa has dreamed of. In 2009, the LDP was finally replaced by the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ). The two‐party system was thus established. Ozawa, currently the Secretary‐general of the DPJ, has contributed the most to the DPJ victory. This article explains that how Ozawa has contributed to the establishment of the two‐party system. I argue that Ozawa uses three strategies to establish the two‐party system: the single member district, party realignment, and Ozawa’s electoral successes. It is significant to see how Japanese democratization has developed in the last two decades through tracing Ozawa’s endeavors. TABLE OF CONTENTS AcknowleDgements I.

Wien, im April 2009 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 092 300 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Politikwissenschaft Betreuer: Univ. Prof. Dr. Ulrich Brand To my mother and my very best friend, who made me believe that “there’s no such place as far away” Preface and acknowledgements Although I am a graduate in economics, I have always been interested in political science and international affairs. After having graduated in June 2007, I was admitted to Diplomatic Academy of Vienna. Moreover, during summer 2007, I first considered enrolling into a doctoral programme in political science in order to broaden my knowledge in international politics and international relations. Still, I have never wanted to write exclusively about a subject in the field of political science, but rather, my wish was to link the dissertation subject to the knowledge of economics I had already acquired. Actually, political economy caught my interest during my undergraduate studies. I heard about the notion of developmental state for the first time while studying for a Magister in economics, during a class on international economics and development. I knew immediately that I wanted to know more about it. At the same time, I started learning Japanese in 2006 and was absolutely fascinated by the language, and, generally, by Japan’s politics, economics and culture. Hence, for my dissertation topic I decided to merge all subjects I am passionate about in a unique study: political science, economics, Japan, and finally, my own home country, Croatia.
