State recognition of collective victimization: Reparations for displaced populations in Argentina and Iraq
Recognition is increasingly conceptualized as a fundamental dimension of transitional justice (TJ), which aims to address serious human rights violations and promote healing of victims in transitional societies. Victims of forced displacement are among the victim groups who demand that their suffering be acknowledged and that their right to equal citizenship be reaffirmed. Within this framework, this paper examines how recognition in TJ relates t…

Social media and deep learning reveal specific cultural preferences for biodiversity
Social media has created new opportunities to map cultural ecosystem services (CES) related to biodiversity at large scales. However, using these novel data to understand people's preferences in relation to these CES remains a challenge. To address this, we trained a deep learning model to capture people's interactions with selected flora and fauna on Flickr as a cultural service related to biodiversity and compared this with citizen science data…
The climate and land use change nexus: Implications for designing adaptation and conservation investment strategies in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Climate change and land use change are two global and interacting forces of change that have wide‐reaching effects on socio‐ecological systems. Despite their interconnectedness, the two are mostly considered separately in investment programs. Therefore, without an integrated systemic approach that considers these interactions, we will fail to achieve the ambitions to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals. By integrating the Driver‐Pressure…

The impact of deforestation on rainfall in Africa: A data-driven assessment
Forests play an important role in maintaining rainfall patterns worldwide by recycling water back to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration. We present a novel spatiotemporal data-driven model and assessment of the impacts of various deforestation scenarios on rainfall patterns in sub-Saharan Africa, where rainfed agriculture is the main source of income and provides food for a large part of the population. Our model is based on the convolutio…

The "Psyche of the White Man" And the Mass Face on Film: Béla Balázs between Racialist and Marxist Physiognomics
Concerns about the passages on race and physiognomy in Béla Balázs's film theoretical writings often focus on his references to cinema's promotion of a normative "white psyche." Through comparative analyses of Balázs with the racial physiognomist Ludwig Ferdinand Clauss as well as with Balázs's fellow Marxist Walter Benjamin, this article outlines key aspects of both right-wing and left-wing physiognomics. While Balázs did share with reactionary …
The Failure Of Imagination: From Pearl Harbor to 9-11, Afghanistan and Iraq
The Asia Pacific Journal is proud to offer its readers a preview of John W. Dower's new book, Cultures of War: Pearl Harbor/Hiroshima/9-11/Iraq (New York: Norton 2010). In the first days after the Al Qaeda attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, prominent American news sources reacted by invoking the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt's description of the event as an act …

Yomiuri and Asahi Editors Call for a National Memorial to Replace Yasukuni
Many older Japanese conservatives are deeply committed to pacifism as a result of their personal experiences in World War II, despite recent Japanese government efforts to assert the right to belligerence in the present and the legitimacy of Japan's wars in the 1930s and 1940s. Nonaka Hiromu, the former Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party, retired from politics last year. But he still openly criticizes Prime Minister Koizumi's visit…
The Political Economy of Transnational Tax Reform: The Shoup Mission to Japan in Historical Context
This volume of essays explores the history of the US tax mission to Japan during the occupation following World War II. Under General MacArthur, economist Carl S. Shoup led the mission with the charge of framing a tax system for Japan designed to strengthen democracy and accelerate economic recovery. The volume examines the sources, conduct and effects of the mission and situates the mission within the history of international financial and fisca…

Islands of Discontent: Okinawan Responses to Japanese and American Power
Exploring contemporary Okinawan culture, politics, and historical memory, this book argues that the long Japanese tradition of defining Okinawa as a subordinate and peripheral part of Japan means that all claims of Okinawan distinctiveness necessarily become part of the larger debate over contemporary identity. The contributors trace the renascence of the debate in the burst of cultural and political expression that has flowered in the past decad…

Exhibiting World War II in Japan and the United States since 1995
Museum professionals, like most people, dislike being the focus of criticism, yet many have recently found themselves in this predicament over exhibits focusing on the histories of major social confl icts. An especially tense issue for both Japanese and American museums has been treatment of World War II, particularly how to portray the motives, policies, and conduct of their own governments during the war. Curators have not always been prepared …

Learning citizenship from the past: Textbook nationalism, global context, and social change
This introduction to the special issue frames the essays that follow in both international and domestic political contexts. Treating textbooks as a key form of nationalist narrative, we analyze textbooks in five nations and controversies surrounding them for insights into ongoing battles over nation and citizenship. We argue, first, that changes in the global context, notably the end of the cold war, put new pressures on national narratives. Inte…

Economic Benefits Generated by Protected Areas: The Case of the Hoge Veluwe Forest, the Netherlands
Eliciting the economic benefits provided by protected areas is important in order to ensure that they are properly considered in policy and decision making. There are relatively few studies that provide a comprehensive overview of the economic benefits provided by European forest ecosystems, in spite of the large share of forests in the protected area system in most countries. An economic valuation of the ecosystem services supplied by the Hoge V…

Modern Art Patronage and Democratic Citizenship in Japan
Wakimura Yoshitarō, a prominent Japanese economics professor and art collector, helped establish or sustain at least eight art museums in postwar Japan. He did so to create important institutions of democratic empowerment rather than nationalist displays of power. The crucial context was defeat in World War II, which left many Japanese, including Wakimura, committed to taming capitalism. Wakimura was particularly interested in creating new practi…

In Search of Peace and Democracy: Japanese Economic Debate in Political Context
Most discussions of economic growth and economic policyin postwar Japan focus on the economy as an isolated sector, neglecting its place in Japanese history as a whole. Partly this is because discussion of the economy usually moves quickly to technical problems. Partly it is due to the common assumption that high-speed economic growth emerged out of an attempt to create high-speed economic growth for its own sake-thus making redundant any sustain…

The dark valley illuminated: Recent trends in studies of the postwar Japanese economy
Historians are continually fascinated by the way a new idea, seemingly independently and simultaneously, emerges from many minds at once. Such ideas step assuredly into the mental environment that has been prepared for them by material conditions, but they seem to belong so naturally that it is easy to forget to question how they arrived. In the case of historians this often involves a re-examination of a historical period. The most recent years …

Between Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima/Nagasaki: A psychological vicious circle
Today, fifty years after the Pacific War ended, crucial differences in the way the war is recalled in Japan and in the United States are coming to light. Of course even now when Japanese people criticize the United States for dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they are met with the rejoinder “remember Pearl Harbor.” This can be called the long-term vicious circle of wartime imagery in both countries, but now, exactly fifty years…
Homing in on Asia: Identity in contemporary Japan
Things Asian have become the height of fashion in Japan. Indonesian film, Thai food, Chinese language study, and package tours to Taiwan have a mass appeal that is unprecedented in the past half-century. Japan's business and political circles are discussing Asia with an intensity unknown since the war years. A tremendous increase in Japan's trade and investment in Asia in the past decade and the demise of Cold War era political alignments have pr…

Remembrance of World War II and the Postwar in the United States and Japan
One of the central lessons of the literature on the invention of tradition is that historical symbols are always available for reinterpretation in a variety of ways. Yet, there are some facts that are still rooted in the incontrovertible logic of the human life span. The sixtieth anniversary of anything means that those who were active participants are no longer making decisions in public capacities although some of them are still here. For examp…
