The Japanese Experience with Micronations
This short article reviews the history of micronations in Japan. The Japanese experience with micronations is dominated by a micronation boom that took place in the 1980s after two events: 1) a call by a prefectural governor for more localized, innovative development and 2) the publication of a popular book, Kirikirijin (Inoue 1981), that portrayed a small, rural area in northern Honshu declaring itself independent from the rest of Japan. Most of…
Tabunka Kyōsei without immigration policy: The role of centers for international exchange and their challenges
Japan today faces several demographic-related challenges: population decline, an aging population, and a declining workforce. One of the proposed solutions to these challenges is to allow more foreign workers into Japan. However, this move is being organized without the implementation of blanket immigration and integration policies. Despite ongoing resistance in political and societal fields toward the creation of an explicit immigration policy, …
Weird IR: Deviant Cases in International Relations
Information, Commitment, and the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905
We apply a modified version of the bargaining model of war to the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905. We conceptualize the informational path to war as a two-step process, the first identifying the sources of informational asymmetries, and the second specifying the causal linkages between informational asymmetries and war. The sources of informational asymmetries include not only private information and incentives to misrepresent tha…
What follows the storm? Research on the effect of disasters on conflict and cooperation
In the last decade the concept of disaster diplomacy has drawn interest to the links between major natural disasters and international conflict. This paper reviews the disparate set of works covering this relationship. This body of work, which draws on multiple disciplinary traditions extending over three generations, holds vast potential for political scientists that seek to understand the intersection of ecological catastrophe and politics. The…
Time Horizons, Discounting, and Intertemporal Choice
Although many decisions involve a stream of payoffs over time, political scientists have given little attention to how actors make the required tradeoffs between present and future payoffs, other than applying the standard exponential discounting model from economics. After summarizing the basic discounting model, we identify some of its leading behavioral anomalies—declining discount rates; preference reversals; higher discount rates for smaller…
