La politique étrangère du Japon: Réalisme réticent ou passivité d`un pays en déclin?

Japan`s foreign policy seems to show two conflicting tendencies: On the one hand we find indications for an increasingly assertive policy, but at the same time there are signs of a weaker and less active policy. Among the indications for the former, one can mention Japan`s quest for a permanent UN Security Council seat, a stronger stance against China in the territorial conflict in the East China Sea, (...)

On March 11, 2011 one of the strongest earthquakes ever measured occurred 130 km off the coast of Japan’s main island Honshu. Its intensity was 1,400 times stronger than that of the Kobe earthquake in 1995. The earthquake triggered a number of tsunami (...)

Japan Invests in Asian Regionalism

The idea of Asian regionalism is in vogue, and has affected the tenor of Japan’s foreign economic policies. As the intra-regional trade shares of ten East Asian nations were estimated to be around 51 percent by the early 2000s, ahead of the NAFTA countries but behind the European Union ones, Asian economic regionalism seemed a fact in progress (...)

Stability and Instability in Japanese Politics: Explaining Prime Ministerial Turnover

For some years now, it has been common to analyse Japanese politics in terms of relative instability. I say “relative” because plainly there are important countries whose politics are far more unstable than the politics of Japan, but nevertheless in Japan there are significant indicators of instability (...)

Measures to Address Current Youth Labor Market Issues

“The crisis of youth” (wakamono kiki). This was the cover story in an issue of the Japanese news magazine Tōyō Keizai in early 2009.

Can expanded opportunities of university education help Japanese youth transition to work?

The emergence of a global knowledge-based economy has given rise to drastic changes in both higher education and employment.

Les relations Chine-Japon.
Dialectique de la domination économique et de la puissance stratégique

En septembre 2010, il a suffi d’un incident naval apparemment mineur pour déclencher entre la Chine et le Japon une crise diplomatique aigüe avec suspension de contacts à haut niveau et embargo chinois sur les exportations de terres rares vers le Japon. Ces tensions récurrentes sur fond de contentieux historique (...)

Risky Business?: the discursive politics of ‘family risks’ in twenty-first century Japan

The Clash’s 1981 hit song, Should I Stay or Should I Go Now?, is about a troubled love affair. Or more precisely, the drive of the song stems from an acute dilemma: the anxiety and frustration involved in taking decisions about love. Should one continue or terminate a relationship? (...)

Innovation and Emergence of New Industries: Is the Silicon Valley Model the Only Way?

Japan seems to have lost its competitiveness in innovation. Its poor performance in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (a recognized industry measure) is offered as evidence of its obvious inability to give birth to new industries and has led to a growing pessimism about Japan’s competitiveness in the future.

Why does France spend much more than Japan for its healthcare system for equivalent results?

France and Japan share many features in their health care systems. In financing, both are based on the social health insurance (SHI) model, with contributions from employers and employees, but also subsidized by taxes. In delivery, both are a mix of public and private providers, (...)
