Reluctant Rulers: Policy, Politics, and Assisted Reproduction Technology in Japan
This article puts the spotlight on the world’s largest artificial reproduction technology (ART) industry—that of Japan, seeking to explain the exceptional tardiness of the government there to install a comprehensive legal framework that regulates these practices. By relying on minutes from a conversation with an influential parliamentarian active in this area, as well as official documents, media reports, and an interview conducted with key physi…
Politics of inclusive consultation: How the voices of disabled people’s rights and feminist campaigners prevailed in the debate on new eugenics in Japan
Access to the procedure known as pre-implantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M), which is part of an arsenal of treatments that drives the wave of new, "grassroots eugenics," remains extremely limited in Japan.Many countries with advanced technological and biomedical know-how gave PGT-M a legal status soon after the pioneering case in London's Hammersmith Hospital in 1988 and have since applied it widely.By contrast, in Japan, P…
Prisoners' rights implementation in Japan: Breaking the shackles with suspects
Several decades have passed since the first call was made toward political scientists, among other social scientists, to devote attention to human rights and enrich, through empirical investigations, our understanding of how human rights implementation works. Today, the political science discipline is finally beginning to respond to this appeal, with an increasing number of scholars making it their goal to isolate variables that obstruct or facil…
Outsourcing Reproductive Care: The Restrictive Regime of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Japan is a developed country where many women, having obtained a higher education and entered the labour force, increasingly postpone childbirth and motherhood beyond their most fertile years. Whilst such a trend has been documented almost everywhere in the developed world, what is conspicuous about the particular case of Japan is how limited these women are when it comes to their options to build a family through assisted reproduction. This arti…
The Politics of Police Detention in Japan: Consensus of Convenience
This book places a spotlight on the remand procedure for criminal suspects in Japan. The twenty-three-day duration for which individuals can be held in police custody prior to being indicted there is the longest amongst developed nations; the majority of OECD members permit only four days or less. In practice, the average length of suspect detention in police cells is even longer due to multiple charges being imposed, and there is very little use…
Prison Law Reform in Japan: How the Bureaucracy was Held to Account Over the Nagoya Prison Scandal
Japan's prison system is renowned for its safety and order. There has not been a prison riot there in decades, and figures about escapes from and assaults at its penal facilities are far lower than in other developed nations. Such features have not gone unnoticed; foreign policy makers increasingly look to Japan for lessons in how to improve their own prisons. Whilst various aspects of the Japanese prison system have been investigated by legal ex…
The death penalty in a changing society: A survey of recent developments in Japan
Japan’s society and law in particular has recently undergone some significant changes. This article identifies five of these developments that could potentially impact practices relating to the death penalty there, and investigates the effect that they have had so far. Specifically, the developments introduced are: the amendment of the Prison Law governing for the death penalty; the introduction of citizen participation in death penalty-related t…
Towards a regional human rights mechanism in the Asia Pacific: Exploring the potential of the Asia Pacific Forum
Stretching a third of the way around the globe, the Asia Pacific is the world's most populous region. Yet, it remains the sole region without a human rights court or commission, and without a human rights treaty. The notable absence there of a human rights mechanism based on such institutions is often explained away by reference to the region's size and heterogeneity, the constituent states’ reluctance to interfere in the affairs of others, and t…
