  • Populism As Rhetorical Politics in Britain and Japan 107
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ritsumeikan Research Repository R. L. R. Populism as Rhetorical Politics in Britain and Japan 107 Populism as Rhetorical Politics in Britain and Japan: ‘Devil take the hindmost’ KOBORI, Masahiro* Although expressions of populism around the world have been growing in recent years, examples of these demonstrate a great variety. Britain and Japan provide two cases that show various features of populism. There is a synergy between populism and blame avoidance. In Britain, the British National Party has considerably toned down and modernised its extremist image, and the UK Independence Party advocates a referendum on whether Britain should stay in the EU. In Japan, new populist parties have denounced public workers and their trade unions. On the other hand, major parties have confronted populist parties only superficially and, in the end, actually echo populist discourse. These phenomena can be explained as a blame-avoidance strategy by the major parties. Therefore, populist attacks and blame avoidance can be considered two sides of the same coin. 1. Introduction Populism has recently attracted people’s attention in two countries located on opposite sides of the globe. In Britain, the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and the British National Party (BNP) have been called populist parties in recent years (Goodwin, 2011: 69). The same phenomenon has also been witnessed in Japan. The populist Japan Restoration Party (JRP) (Nihon-Ishin no Kai) has attracted people’s support by blaming the incumbents. Although there are some differences between the cases in the two countries, and even differences between examples in each country, it is possible to point out some common elements, as will be explained later.

    PUBLICATIONS Publications Asia and Europe: Cooperating for Energy Security François Godement, Françoise Nicolas, and Taizo Yakushiji, eds. Because of broad similarities in their economies, energy security—the availability of energy at all times, in various forms, in sufficient quanti- ties, and at affordable prices—is an issue of common concern for Asia and Europe. Any option chosen by one region will necessarily reverberate in the other. In particular, the rise in energy demand in Asia, most of all in China, will have obvious implications for Europe, as well as for the rest of the world. This report from the Council for Asia-Europe Cooperation (CAEC) task force on energy security examines the strategic implications of each region’s choices for the other region, compares existing and poten- tial schemes for regional cooperation, and defines areas for interregional cooperation. For example, one significant finding of the task force, a group comprised of Asian and European political scientists and economists, was a need for expertise transfer from the more advanced to the less advanced countries in the partnership. (English: JCIE, 2004) Asia and Europe: Global Governance as a Challenge to Co-operation William Wallace and Young Soogil, eds. The end of the Cold War and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, have brought about profound changes in international politics. The world is in desperate need of a new system of global governance, a structure for consultation and cooperation among states to maintain global order, to contain disorder, to promote global prosperity through shared manage- ment of an open world economy, and to address the difficult issues of global equity, rights, and justice.

  • My Neighbor, My Enemy: Understanding the Protracted Conflict Between China and Japan
    MY NEIGHBOR, MY ENEMY: UNDERSTANDING THE PROTRACTED CONFLICT BETWEEN CHINA AND JAPAN A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English By Go Funai, B.S. Washington, DC May 1, 2009 The research and writing of this thesis is dedicated to everyone who helped along the way, especially Professor Alan C. Tidwell, my thesis advisor, and Professor Fathali M. Moghaddam, my thesis committee member. Many thanks, Go Funai ii MY NEIGHBOR, MY ENEMY: UNDERSTADNING THE PROTRACTED CONFLICT BETWEEN CHINA AND JAPAN Go Funai, B.S. Thesis Advisor: Alan C. Tidwell, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Despite numerous attempts at political reconciliation and increasing levels of economic interdependence, tensions between China and Japan remain high. The bitter rivalry, ostensibly rooted in the Second World War, grabbed the world’s attention in 2005 when anti-Japan protests erupted in over 40 cities throughout China. This study examines why China and Japan remain sworn enemies even though they share realistic reasons to reconcile. While the existing literature acknowledges historical enmity as the primary source of conflict, it does not rigorously explain the underpinnings and dynamics of that enmity. Thus, the purpose of this study is to fill this analytic gap using ideas in conflict resolution and social psychology. I argue that China and Japan are mired in an identity-based conflict that is best understood by examining enmification, or the process of creating enemies, throughout its history of conflict dating back to the 16th century.

  • The Continuation of Events Tourism Vitalization
    The continuation of events tourism vitalization The Great East Japan Earthquake which occurred on March 11th was one of history’s worst natural calamities. It caused enormous human and property damage. Presently, Japan continues with its relief and restoration activities. In Osaka, public and private sectors are cooperating with each other in sending staff and providing relief goods, accommodating victims and raising donations. On the other hand, after the earthquake, there has been a growing self-restraint in the citizens’ activities in Osaka. Events and activities are cancelled, neon-lights and illuminated advertisements are turned off. As a result, there is a continued cancellation of tours and restaurant reservations and this brings a big blow to related companies. This makes the whole city unlively and brings about low consumer spending. Osaka was able to reconstruct itself after the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake with support from all over Japan. Osaka, which escaped direct damage from the latest earthquake, is expected to lead long term and continuous support to disaster areas and victims. However if the economy and society of Osaka continues to degrade, it will lose its capability to give this support. To recover from history’s worst natural calamities, undamaged areas must maintain its normal life, maintain its strength by continuing its activities and focus on supporting disaster areas and victims and reviving the whole of Japan. To enable companies, administration and private organizations of Osaka to fulfil such responsibilities, Osaka Prefecture, Osaka City, Sakai City, Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Sakai Chamber of Commerce and Industry reconfirm to do the following points; - To continue normal activities and unfalteringly implement events and activities to maintain the vitality of Osaka while continuing to give support to disaster areas and victims.

Dziubla* Passageof the Export Trading Company Act of 1982provides new op- portunitiesfor American business to organize and operate general trading companies. Afterpresenting a thorough history and description of the Japa- nese sogoshosha, Mr. Dziubla gives several compelling reasonsfor Ameri- cans to establish export trading companies. He also examines the changes in United States banking and antitrust laws that have resultedfrom passage of the act, and offers suggestionsfor draftingguidelines, rules, and regula- tionsfor the Export Trading Company Act. For several years, American legislators and businessmen have warned that if America is to balance its international trade-and in particular offset the cost of importing billions of dollars worth of oil- she must take concrete steps to increase her exporting capabilities., On October 8, 1982, the United States took just such a step when President Reagan signed into law the Export Trading Company Act of 1982,2 which provides for the development of international general trading companies similar to the ones used so successfully by the Japanese.
