Refugee Policies in East Asia
East Asia stands apart from the rest of Asia in the prevalence of the institutionalization of the 1951 Refugee Convention. Despite this widespread adoption of the Convention in East Asia, the record on implementation into domestic law and policy is uneven. This Element offers a comparative analysis of the gap between the institutionalization of the Refugee Convention and the implementation of refugee policy in China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong…
Formal and Informal Institutions: Women Diplomats in Leadership at Japan’s Foreign Ministry
Do improved family policies meet women diplomats’ concerns about balancing work and family? Using a feminist institutionalist approach, the article analyzes the interaction of formal and informal institutional rules, the role of informality, and interactions between actors and rules to address whether and how family policies improve women diplomats’ experiences balancing work and family. Narrative analysis of semi-structured interviews with Japan…
Doing Diplomacy
This article uses gastronomy—food, cuisine, manners, setting, and material culture—in an analysis of how US–Japan relations have evolved with the changing role of Japan and Japanese cuisine in the world. Since Japan’s contact with Commodore Perry’s black ships in 1854, the importance of diplomatic dining, which involved learning what and how to eat, was clear. Diplomatic meals are a setting where ritual and protocol are used to homogenize the par…
Gender Representation in Japan’s National and International Diplomacy
How do we account for the discrepancy between the number of Japanese women serving in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ( MFA ) and the number in United Nations (UN) organisations? This article identifies where women and men are located in both national and international diplomacy. I argue that in ministries of foreign affairs around the world, institutional rules and norms account for the low numbers of women in these organisations. This research …

Post-1980s Multicultural Immigrant Neighbourhoods: Koreatowns, Spatial Identities and Host Regions in the Pacific Rim
Recent trends in migration across the Pacific Rim have suggested that neighbourhoods have become important sources of community identity, requiring a re-evaluation of the relationship between urban places and immigrants. Specifically, we argue that the notion of ethnic enclaves may not fit well with some of the newer, post-1980s immigrant populations in Pacific Rim cities. Using data from the cases of Los Angeles, Tokyo and Beijing, we argue that…
Introduction: Indigenous Politics–-Migration, Citizenship, Cyberspace
The articles in this, the one of three special issues of Alternatives on the theme of indigenous politics in the globalizing world, deal with important questions: How are the flows of people and ideas as well as the institutions to manage them impeded or assisted by the state and other social, political, and economic institutions? What does improved knowledge and understanding of these flows contribute to how one defines an indigenous community? …
Refugees, Women, and Weapons: International Norm Adoption and Compliance in Japan
Shaping State Identity: International Law and Whaling in Japan
This article revisits the issue of whaling in an attempt to account for Japan's decision to observe the temporary moratorium on commercial whaling at the end of the 1986 whaling season and to remain a member of the International Whaling Commission despite increasingly restrictive regulations. This analysis develops an argument that focuses on the social aspects of international agreements, especially the role of international law in shaping state…
Failure to Protect Refugees: Domestic Institutions, International Organizations, and Civil Society in Japan
This article explores why Japanese government policies, despite major reforms, still do not comply well with international norms of protecting refugees. There has been great progress in the growth of nongovernmental organizations and civil society, the strong presence of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Japan, and the reduction of structural constraints on the ability of organizations to influence government policy. Despite th…
