Kōsaka Masataka and the Repercussions of the Kyoto School on Postwar Japan
Kōsaka Masataka (1934–96) was a prominent and self-described realist IR theorist in Japan whose thought shared several key tenets with contemporary liberal internationalism. This article argues that a significant strand of IR theory—one that ultimately supported the US-led international order—originated from an anti-Anglo-Saxon vision articulated by four Kyoto school scholars, including Kōsaka’s father, during wartime debates. These thinkers prop…
J. R. Seeley in Japan, 1880s–1940s

In the context of the first translation, Seeley was a historian who offered a vision of Japan's future . In…

This diagnosis had a real impact on Japanese scholars, including Maruyama Masao, who identified Filmerism with pre-war Japan and in turn accepted the Lockean social view as a theoretical guideline of post-war Japan. The aim of this article is to show the ideological role of ‘Filmerism’ in three Japane…
