Providing consular services to low-skilled migrant workers
The growing number and proportion of migrant workers globally is an evolving issue in consular work. The globalisation of labour and markets, as well as rapid technological and societal developments, raise a range of challenges and opportunities for consular services in protecting their citizens in the international workforce. This paper examines different categories of low-skilled migrant workers abroad, the actual and potential exploitation the…
Introduction. Diplomacy and the Duty of Care
Protecting the worker-citizen abroad
Ministries of foreign affairs (MFAs) are long acquainted with the challenge of ensuring the security of their nationals overseas. Likewise, private businesses assigning staff on foreign placements owe a “duty of care” to these worker-citizens. The growing prevalence of worker-citizens in high-risk areas showcases the myriad complexities involved in this dynamic, whereby governmental and private sector responsibilities towards worker-citizens freq…
Japan's ‘green’ economic diplomacy
The Japanese government and business sector have long seen opportunities in making environmental protection a core feature of industrial policy. The ‘green’ economic diplomacy-effort, which materialized in the late 1980s and largely builds on targeted domestic innovation policies, is now entering new ground. Assessing recent developments in the railway, nuclear power generation, water, and next-generation automobile industries, this paper analyse…
Chapter One. Changes In Consular Assistance And The Emergence Of Consular Diplomacy
This chapter aims to explore some of the implications, ramifications and complexities of this new form of consular activity. A key lesson of recent events is that foreign ministries are increasingly under pressure to anticipate specific risks that their nationals abroad might face, and to provide real-time warnings as potential threats materialize. The chapter offers a brief overview of what might be called 'classic' consular responsibilities. It…

Conceptualizing Economic Diplomacy
This article introduces both a conceptual and an analytical framework of economic diplomacy so as to contribute to sounder understanding of economic diplomacy’s activities, tools and goals. While the state is not regarded as the only player, or as a coherent entity, it is assumed that the state is the primary actor in economic diplomacy. The conceptual framework discerns five strands of economic diplomacy, which involve tools and purposes that ar…
Troubled Neighbours
The importance of economic issues, in a comprehensive multilateral and bilateral context, has been receiving increased attention in writings about the Korean Peninsula lately. This article adds to this debate by analysing Japan's relations with North Korea from an economic diplomacy perspective. The concept of 'negative economic diplomacy' is introduced to understand actions of the Japanese government, which had tried economic engagement in vario…
Japan as Spoiler in the Six-Party Talks
This paper analyzes Japan's concerns, as well as its prioritization and leverage points, in multilateral negotiations on North Korea's nuclear programme within the Six-Party Talks. It argues that Japan has deliberately taken an obstructionist stance in multilateral negotiations and that three issues are relevant to understanding Japan's actions: Japan's close relations with the US, its preference for economic rather than political diplomacy, and …
