Covid-19 and the restaurant business in Japan
In this paper, we examine the diverging incentives for cooperation within Japan’s “self-restraint” (jishuku)-based infection control regime by focusing on restaurants’ economic burdens, their role as social infrastructure, and their interactions with the legally non-binding governance framework. We ask: What shaped local neighborhood restaurants’ patterns of cooperation with the infection control regime? To answer this question, we draw on a data…
Gradual institutional change in contemporary Japan
This introduction to the special issue “Gradual Institutional Change in Contemporary Japan: Single-life and Immigration” explores the mechanisms of institutional change in contemporary Japan, analyzing the persistent tension between the conservative establishment and bottom-up agency. Drawing on the theoretical framework of gradual institutional change, we contend that while Japan has avoided revolutionary shifts despite decades of economic and d…

The Aging Democracy
The political implications of population aging for democratic systems are fundamental. Questions of democratic legitimacy are raised as the political equilibrium between the generations is upended. Drawing on evidence from liberal democracies with a focus on Japan, the democracy with the oldest electorate, we identify and analyze three demographic effects on the political system: participation effects deriving from younger voters’ marginalization…
Okinawa’s Unsettled Membership in Japan
In 2022, the 50th anniversary of Okinawa’s reversion to Japan from postwar US control was commemorated. To many Okinawans, however, this was no reason for celebration. Seventy percent of the US military deployed in Japan is stationed in Okinawa, and protests by citizens and local and prefectural-level politicians against this persisting imbalance have persisted for decades. As their demands continue to be neglected by the national government in T…
Sanitizing the national body
Japan’s handling of border control measures during the COVID-19 pandemic has become known as sakoku-approach. Sakoku literally means “closed country” and generally refers to a historic period when the Tokugawa Shogunate (1603–1868) kept Japan’s borders shut because international contacts were feared to cause public upheaval and political instability. While these times have long passed, contemporary Japan, too, is known for its tight management of…
Robotic devices and ICT in long-term care in Japan
In light of its rapidly aging society, Japan is pressured to full-heartedly address the labor shortage in long-term care. Among the various policy options currently in discussion, government agencies and business sector representatives agree that robotic devices and information and communication technology (ICT) constitute a suitable countermeasure. However, during our research in Japan in 2019, we found that robotic devices and ICT are only relu…
Identity politics in Okinawan elections
Although identity issues have been central to Okinawan grass-roots movements, until recently few politicians have explicitly campaigned on identity appeals, rather than pacifist ideology or material promises in the form of economic development and welfare. The emergence of identity politics seeking to replace such left–right ideological competition in Okinawa appears to be a new phenomenon. Has it only been under Governor Onaga Takeshi and his ‘A…
Okinawa-rashisa no shakaigaku
This book is situated at the intersection of Okinawan studies and migration studies. Sociologist Daisuke Yasui asks how ‘Okinawaness’, a distinct cultural identity, has been kept alive among the members of a diaspora community in the Tsurumi District of Yokohama City. Yasui looks in particular at the ‘Okinawaness’ prevalent among Okinawan emigrants, as represented through four cultural spheres, which he identifies as representative of their (and,…

Multiculturalism and trust in Japan
Japan's foreign population is growing, and policy-makers need to address the manifold challenges of an emerging multicultural society. Most importantly, this concerns the task to prevent societal frictions from occurring. This article puts Japan's preparedness to face the challenge of trust-building between members of different ethnic groups to test. The realm of educational policies and schooling practices will stand at the center of interest. I…

Arbeitsmigration nach Japan
AbstractIn 2000 the United Nations published a study named „Replacement Migration—Is it a Solution to Declining and Ageing Populations?” which highlights the effects replacement migration may have on the workforce of eight industrial countries and two world regions. For Japan to keep up its workforce, this study finds a replacement migration of up to ten million people per year necessary. This paper examines the legal framework of labor migration…
"Guest Workers" for Japan
Japan's population is aging and shrinking. If other demographic factors, such as retirement age or fertility rate remain unchanged, Japan will need large-scale labor migration in order to keep its workforce at a level that ensures the functionality of the state. The nation's political elites, however, are hesitant about opening Japan's doors to such migrants.There is a vast amount of data available on Japan's demographic change, of which the most…
