First and foremost, I thank the members of my dissertation committee for their guidance, feedback, and friendship during my years at the University of California, Irvine. The chair of my doctoral dissertation, Robert Uriu, has provided me with constant support to navigate the rough waters of graduate school. He has given me with the freedom to pursue anything and the opportunities to ensure that my work results in something. Patrick Morgan has given me so much of his time, and his time is worth so much. In every conversation we’ve had - and we have had many - I learned something new about conducting research, being a professional academic, and basketball. Of everyone I know, Cecelia Lynch is who I strive to be the most. She is the very definition of professional and has provided me with honest critiques and unending support to overcome my limitations. Other members of UCI’s faculty and staff have been just as helpful. Serk Bae Suh, Sara Goodman, Etel Solingen, and Sandra Loughlin have provided me valuable feedback on my research and helped me secure grants and fellowships. Matthew Beckmann, Louis DeSipio, Marek Kaminski, Kevin Olson, Mark Petracca, and Keith Topper, as Graduate Directors and Department Chairs provided me with generous financial support to conduct fieldwork and attend conferences. Adam Cook, Natalie Cook, and Gillian Cummings have provided me with quick and thorough administrative support. I would like to thank Hiroshima City University for hosting me during my fieldwork in Japan. Tatsuya Nishida, my advisor at HCU, helped me secure a Fulbright Fellowship and several interviews critical to the dissertation, for which I am vi very grateful. Bo Jacobs and Yoshiaki Furuzawa were always there to help me with whatever I needed. My cohorts at UCI, Karl Kruse, Heidi Haddad, Arturo Jimenez, Alfredo Carlos, Joshua Gellers, Sierra Powell, Alex Lee, Dirk Horn, Graham Odell, Julian Tyler, Robert Nyenhuis, John Cuffe, Philip McDougall, Cecilia Kim, Kiki Liu, and Dan Jessie provided insightful feedback, sent useful articles, challenged my assumptions, offered solutions, and gave me their amazing friendship. Beijie Tang, Wilfred Wan, and Neil Chaturvedi went above and beyond and helped me in every step of completing the dissertation and landing a tenure-track position. Outside of UCI, I want to thank Soul Park, Peter Harris, Leonard Kosinski, Masaaki Higashijima, and Aurélie Deganello for proofreading my dissertation, helping me obtain data, and conduct fieldwork. I would also like to thank my fellow Young Leaders at Pacific Forum CSIS, Rachel Iancone, Sean Quirk, Kent Boydston, and Akira Igata for their comments, suggestions, and help obtaining research materials. While conducting fieldwork throughout Japan, my friends Ikuko Kanno, Genny Ki, Kyle Reykalin, and Hidemi Chen kindly took me into their homes. With their support, I was able to make the most of my research funds and opportunities. As difficult as it can be pursuing a PhD as a first-generation college student, at no point over the past few years have I ever felt alone or unsupported. These amazing talented individuals have been with me the entire time and it has been ridiculously fun ride together. I also would like to thank the many politicians, activists, journalists, civil servants, and academics who gave me great interviews for the dissertation. Tomoko Watanabe (ANT- Hiroshima) and Yasuko Okane (International Peace Promotion Department, The City of Hiroshima) were particularly helpful in securing interviews and obtaining unique data. vii This dissertation would not have been possible without the generous financial support of the Center for Asian Studies and the Center for Global Peace and Conflict Studies at UCI. Outside of UCI, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation and Pacific Forum CSIS, under the leadership of Brad Glosserman and Ralph Cossa, have funded several conference trips where I was able to gather valuable data and network with professionals in my field. Julia Cunico has been a great Director of the Young Leaders Program and provided amazing administrative support. I thank the Japan Student Services Organization for awarding me a scholarship to study at Hiroshima City University. Lastly, I thank the Fulbright US Student Program for funding 16-months of fieldwork in Japan. Director Matthew Sussman, Miyuki Ito, and the rest of the staff at JUSEC provided me with great administrative and personal support during my entire time abroad - I am grateful for their help and friendship. I thank my family. My parents, Nga and Chi, did all they could to secure me an education that was taken away from them by the Vietnam War. From the very beginning, they instilled in me a love of scholarship and the work ethic to see it through. Takahisa and Hidemi Hongo and Masataka and Emi Yamada have been fantastic in-laws who have supported much of my research in Japan. My siblings, Tony, Timothy, and Stephanie held the fort down at home to ensure I could focus on my studies – if I ever needed anything, they took care of it. My grandparents, Ted and Clara Jo Braybrook and Dick and Irene Mansfield instilled in me the interest in studying war and militarism through their service to the country in WWII and the Korean War, but more importantly reminded me that regardless of what I do, to do it with dignity and ethics. Above all, I thank my darling wife Erika. She has been so understanding and has sacrificed so much to allow me to pursue my dream. Not only has she actively helped my work, viii proofreading my dissertation, securing interviews, translating documents, and developing ideas, she has taught me to be a better and more caring person through her every day actions. Everything she does is with grace, passion, and purpose, qualities that I hope are reflected in this dissertation. The past few years have been amazing and I am so confident that with Erika, the rest of the journey will be even better. ix CURRICULUM VITAE Tom Phuong Le University of California, Irvine – Department of Political Science Mailing Address: 464 Springfield Street, Claremont, CA 91711 Email: [email protected] Education Ph.D. University of California, Irvine – Political Science, 2015 Research Fields: 1) International Relations, 2) Comparative Politics Dissertation: Where Power Projection Ends: Constraints and Restraints on Japanese Militarism Committee: Robert Uriu (chair), Patrick Morgan, and Cecelia Lynch Hiroshima City University, Hiroshima, Japan - Junior Associate Research Fellow, 2013 - 2015 M.A. University of California, Irvine – Political Science, Fall 2011 B.A. University of California, Davis – Political Science and History Track II (Research and Writing emphasis), Spring 2006 Additional Training and Education 1) Institute for Qualitative and Multi-Method Research (IQMR), Syracuse University, Summer 2012 2) Hiroshima and Peace Program, Peace Studies, Hiroshima City University, Hiroshima, Japan, Summer 2012 3) Educational Abroad Program, International Studies, Meiji Gakuin University, Yokohama, Japan, Spring 2005 4) UC Washington Program, Washington D.C., Winter 2005 Publications Book Chapters 1) Uriu, R.

It was inevitable, then, that 2010 would be an important year for scholarship on the Japanese colonisation of Korea. In response to this momentous anniversary, Cipango – Cahiers d’études japonaises launched a call for papers on the subject of Japan’s colonial past in the spring of 2009. 2 Why colonisation in general and not specifically relating to Korea? Because it seemed logical to the journal’s editors that Korea would be the focus of increased attention from specialists of East Asia, at the risk of potentially forgetting the longer—and more obscure—timeline of the colonisation process.

  • Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei
    Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei By ©2016 Alison Miller Submitted to the graduate degree program in the History of Art and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Maki Kaneko ________________________________ Dr. Sherry Fowler ________________________________ Dr. David Cateforis ________________________________ Dr. John Pultz ________________________________ Dr. Akiko Takeyama Date Defended: April 15, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Alison Miller certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Maki Kaneko Date approved: April 15, 2016 ii Abstract This dissertation examines the political significance of the image of the Japanese Empress Teimei (1884-1951) with a focus on issues of gender and class. During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.

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.

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.

  • Issues for Congress
    Order Code RL33436 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Japan-U.S. Relations: Issues for Congress Updated October 5, 2006 Emma Chanlett-Avery (Coordinator) Analyst in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Mark E. Manyin Specialist in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division William H. Cooper Specialist in International Trade and Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Japan-U.S. Relations: Issues for Congress Summary The post-World War II U.S.-Japan alliance has long been an anchor of the U.S. security role in East Asia. The alliance, with its access to bases in Japan, where about 53,000 U.S. troops are stationed, facilitates the forward deployment of U.S. military forces in the Asia-Pacific, thereby undergirding U.S. national security strategy. For Japan, the alliance and the U.S. nuclear umbrella provide maneuvering room in dealing with its neighbors, particularly China and North Korea. The Bush Administration has made significant strides in its goals of broadening U.S.-Japan strategic cooperation and encouraging Japan to assume a more active international role. Following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Japan made its first-ever military deployments in non-combat support of U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan. In 2004 Tokyo sent non-combat troops to Iraq, despite considerable domestic opposition. Japan generally has supported the “hardline” U.S. position in the Six-Party Talks on North Korea’s nuclear program. In 2005 the U.S. and Japan announced a sweeping new agreement to strengthen military cooperation.

  • Toward the Establishment of a Disaster Conscious Society
    Special Feature Consecutive Disasters --Toward the Establishment of a Disaster Conscious Society-- In 2018, many disasters occurred consecutively in various parts of Japan, including earthquakes, heavy rains, and typhoons. In particular, the earthquake that hit the northern part of Osaka Prefecture on June 18, the Heavy Rain Event of July 2018 centered on West Japan starting June 28, Typhoons Jebi (1821) and Trami (1824), and the earthquake that stroke the eastern Iburi region, Hokkaido Prefecture on September 6 caused damage to a wide area throughout Japan. The damage from the disaster was further extended due to other disaster that occurred subsequently in the same areas. The consecutive occurrence of major disasters highlighted the importance of disaster prevention, disaster mitigation, and building national resilience, which will lead to preparing for natural disasters and protecting people’s lives and assets. In order to continue to maintain and improve Japan’s DRR measures into the future, it is necessary to build a "disaster conscious society" where each member of society has an awareness and a sense of responsibility for protecting their own life. The “Special Feature” of the Reiwa Era’s first White Paper on Disaster Management covers major disasters that occurred during the last year of the Heisei era. Chapter 1, Section 1 gives an overview of those that caused especially extensive damage among a series of major disasters that occurred in 2018, while also looking back at response measures taken by the government. Chapter 1, Section 2 and Chapter 2 discuss the outline of disaster prevention and mitigation measures and national resilience initiatives that the government as a whole will promote over the next years based on the lessons learned from the major disasters in 2018.
