A Brief Introduction to Debates Concerning the Perceived Sexual Deviance of Manga and Anime Patrick W. Galbraith, Duke University Recently, the violent and sexualized content of manga and anime, particularly in regard to representations of characters who may appear to be minors, has caused considerable concern among governments and NGOs worldwide. In countries such as Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom, the legal definition of child pornography now includes purely fictional forms. The ever-expanding scope of this legislation has led to serious charges against manga and anime collectors around the world. However, when Japan passed legislation on child pornography in June 2014, it notably did not include manga and anime, which sparked a flurry of outraged news reports around the world. After surveying the dicey legal terrain, this presentation will explore the central issue of contested recognition – both legal and popular – of drawings as people. Further, if we do recognize them as people, without understanding the manga/anime style and the cultural context of its production and consumption, can we adequately determine if a fictional character is a child or if a depiction is pornographic?

<panel> East Asian Images of Japan Recent disputes between Japan and her regional neighbours have been met with resentful incomprehension by many Japanese - contributing to the election in December 2012 of perhaps the most nationalist Diet since 1945. These developments highlight the persistent gulf between the images most Japanese harbour of their country, and the ways it (and they) are perceived and portrayed by their neighbours. This panel stems from a project that aims to help bridge this gulf and promote a more informed debate about on Japan's relationships with other East Asian societies. Over the past three years, an international network of scholars based in East Asia, Europe and North America has been looking at the portrayal of Japan in a range of media - school texts, TV, cinema, museums and the internet - in societies including China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. A major international symposium in Fukuoka this September 6-7 will showcase this research. This panel presentation introduces a small sample of work by several of the scholars involved. Naoko Shimazu first offers an overview of the work of the broader network, discussing the various ways in which Japan is portrayed as an 'Other' in societies throughout East Asia. In the course of outlining the various images of Japan that prevail in different societies, she will discuss why these particular images have emerged, and how they relate to domestic debates over national and local identities. Paul Morris and Christine Han discuss the cases of Hong Kong and Singapore respectively. While the histories of these societies are in many respects comparable (predominantly ethnic Chinese, former British colonies, occupied by Japan during the Second World War), the kinds of images of Japan that have emerged in the postwar period, and the ways in which these have been produced or manipulated by key elites, reflect important differences in the political and social dynamics that have shaped their recent histories. Edward Vickers then compares the portrayal of Japan in major national historical museums of the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, focusing particularly on two museums opened or re-opened in 2011: the National Museum of China (Beijing), and the National Museum of Taiwan History (Tainan). He argues that the images of Japan visible in these two flagship institutions reflect both fundamental differences in historical experience vis-a-vis Japan, and the stark divergence in official discourse on national identity within Taiwan and China over recent decades. They also reflect the different ways in which the role of museums has evolved on either side of the Taiwan Strait over recent years - a phenomenon closely related to broader political and social change (or the lack of it).

Japan’s politics will likely enter the New Years in a highly enervated state. Effort to sell the Official Secrets Act floundered, requiring humiliating negotiations with the opposition ending in a dictatorial denouement to screams of protest. The Supreme Court declared the map of electoral districts crafted to defeat constitutional challenge unfair -- guaranteeing continued strife over the issue. Meanwhile, another set of cases challenging the constitutionality of the House of Councillors election wend their way to the Supreme Court. Relations with China and South Korea are at their lowest ebb in memory, with China pursuing what seems an inexorable escalation toward open conflict. Should the Prime Minister make good on hints in the direction of a visit to Yasukuni, the publics of South Korea and China will erupt. As for a revival of the economy, median incomes need to rise, meaning the corporate sector has to be more adventurous and generous. For international investors to continue to have faith in Abenomics, they must see meaningful Third Arrow structural reforms. With the Administration’s recent all-consuming focus on security, the economic program seems to have been relegated to the back burner. The Abe Administration has nevertheless had a remarkable run of good fortune and smart decisions. It has reason to feel proud of itself and its leaders still exude a stunning sense of confidence. What are the Abe Cabinet’s and ruling party’s plans for 2014? Will they have a have the political momentum and maintain the internal cohesion necessary to achieve them in a meaningful way?

A theoretical Framework on Inflation and Retirement: Improvements in longevity as well as declining fertility rates have led to an aging demographic across developed nations. These tendencies, alongside several decades of low inflation have led to shifts in pension and retirement policies across developed nations. It goes without saying that Retirement security remains a shared concern, one that has heightened as inflation has returned to the global landscape, adding further uncertainty to the financial security of retirees. From a policy perspective, monetary policy is the most blunt tool within the macroeconomic toolkit whereas retirement has increasingly become a household-level savings, investment and decumulation problem. Given the dependency of policy on inflation expectations and that of inflation expectations on household-level decision-making, we present elements of an incipient framework that may be used to integrate household and firm-level decision making into the contemporary macroeconomic policy toolkit.

The Finnish and Swedish accessions to NATO—even though incomplete as of now—have been interpreted in some corners as the beginning of the end for neutrality. Not picking sides in a war of aggression is untenable, they hold, cheering the decisions of some former neutrals to give up their signature foreign policies while berating those who still do not send weapons to Ukraine or sanction Russia. Whatever one’s stance on the policy side is, one point has been lost in the debate: neutrality is not a question of ideology but a fact of conflict dynamics. It just won’t go away. Not even the two World Wars or the 40 years of the Cold War could get rid of the “fence-sitters.” Neutrality, always and everywhere, is a reaction to conflict(s). The current one over Ukraine is no exception, giving rise to neutral policies in roughly two-thirds of the world. It is a moot question if there should be neutrality or not. Nonaligned behavior of third-party states is a fact of international life and will remain one. There are really only two questions that matter: First, which neutrals will leave the stage, and which ones will be born? Second, will the neutrals play a constructive role in the new global conflict, or will they be relegated to the margins? This talk will disentangle the neutrality debate by differentiating the legal components from the political and strategic aspects and discuss recent neutrality developments in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Dual citizenship was once universally reviled as a moral abomination, then largely marginalized as an anomaly. During the twentieth century, states were able to police the status and manage incidental costs to the extent that full suppression proved impossible. More recent decades have seen wide acceptance of dual citizenship as those costs dissipated for both states and individuals. Powerful nonresident citizen communities have played a crucial role in winning recognition of the status. A handful of states -- Japan notable among them -- have held out against this clear trend and increasingly vocal emigrant and immigrant constituencies and children of bi-national couples. This session will situate Japan's resistance to dual citizenship in a global historical context.

November 28, 2022 The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has given the go-ahead for a major redevelopment of Jingu Gaien, the cluster of sports facilities and green space adjacent to the National Stadium in Sendagaya. The project has recently become a focus of attention in Tokyo, with many people from across the political spectrum speaking out with concerns about the project. The redevelopment plan is made possible by a loosening of height restrictions in the area that was implemented in conjunction with the Olympics, and former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori was involved in conceptualization of the plan. The redevelopment will eliminate nearly a thousand trees, two historic stadiums and several public sports facilities, and put in three high rise office buildings. In this presentation activist Rochelle Kopp will describe the various concerns and issues related to the Jingu Gaien redevelopment project and how she and some other activists and academics are speaking out against the plan and urging that Governor Koike withdraw it and start over with input from the public and experts.

Observers of Japanese security and foreign policies have largely focused on analyzing Japanese policies in the area of traditional security. However, they would be remiss to disregard the string of new developments that have been occurring in Japan – namely that of “economic security.” Prompted by rising U.S.-China competition, Japan has been undergoing rapid change in its economic security policies over the last few years. These changes range from organizational transformation to new legislation as well as increasing support for the private sector. This trend is likely to accelerate under the incoming Kishida administration, which has created a new ministerial post for economic security. How has Japan’s economic security policy evolved in the last few years? What kind of changes will we likely see in Japan’s economic security policies under the Kishida administration? What impact will this “economic security awakening” in Japan have on Japan-U.S. and Japan-China relations? How should Japan cooperate with other key actors, such as the European Union, the Quad countries, the Five Eyes states, and Southeast Asian countries? This seminar will address these critical questions and more with Akira Igata, who has been advising international organizations, the Japanese government, bureaucracy, and the private sector in economic security issues for many years. Speaker Biography: Akira Igata is Executive Director and Visiting Professor at the Center for Rule-making Strategies at Tama University. He is also the Economic Security Advisor for the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China and Senior Adjunct Fellow at Pacific Forum, a U.S.-based think tank. He advises Japan’s bureaucracy, politicians, and private sector as well as international organizations on economic security issues.

A half a year ago, the prospect of an LDP presidential election did not inspire flights of the imagination. After all, what could break the hammerlock the top three party factions – the Hosoda, the Aso and the Nikai – had upon the process of selecting the party leader? Who or what could outmaneuver the wily LDP Secretary-General Nikai Toshihiro, whom two prime ministers in a row found themselves powerless to budge from his post at the apex of the party’s secretariat? Over the summer of 2021, however, several factors became catalysts for changes in the party’s internal power structures. A presidential campaign like any other had unfolded, with the faction leaders and the party’s senior officials left gasping as erstwhile subordinates have run away with the narrative and the initiative. So many assumptions about how the LDP “works” have been challenged that the unprecedented situation of half of the candidates being women has been largely subsumed. What will we have learned from this election? Michael Cucek will offer his views, along with suggestions of avenues of future research into the contemporary LDP.
