Life, death and environment at Lagore Crannog: Parasites, land-use and a royal residence in later prehistoric and early medieval Ireland
Lagore, Co. Meath, has long been a type-site for artificial lake dwellings known as crannogs since excavation in the 1930s by the Harvard Expedition. Renowned for rich finds and documented as the seat of the kings of Southern Brega (8th and 10th centuries AD), alongside the high-status and royal functions of the site, it is now widely recognised that Lagore had a long history of activity stretching back into later prehistory with evidence of depo…

Green Japan: Environmental Technologies, Innovation Policy, and the Pursuit of Green Growth
Japan’s environmental image has vacillated wildly over the last half century. During the unfettered burst of high-speed industrialization in the 1950s and 1960s, Tokyo became a byword for dirty air. From the 1970s through the first decade of the 2000s, a far more positive image took hold as Japan vigorously tackled air and water pollution, dramatically ramped up energy efficiency after the oil shocks of the 1970s, forged a position of technology …

Introduction: SSJJ Special Issue on Non-Regular Employment
Perhaps no issue is more central to the understanding of postwar Japan than employment.Traditionally, scholars and journalists focused on the centrality of 'permanent employment', in which government agencies, large private enterprises, and even many small firms provided most of their male employees with secure, long-term employment, seniority-based wages, and generous pensions and benefits in return for accepting slow promotions, numbingly long …

Abenomics in the 2014 Election: Showing the Money (Supply) and Little Else
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s electoral platform in the December 2014 House of Representatives election cast continuation of “the three arrows of Abenomics” — monetary easing in the form of expanded purchases of bonds and other assets by the Bank of Japan (BOJ), “nimble” fiscal policy, and structural reforms to improve the flexibility and productivity of the economy — as the only way forward for Japan. This claim cleverly highlighted the lack of di…

Toward a Responsive Two-Party System? A Review of ‘Series: Japanese Politics’
A review of the first four books in the important new ‘Series: Japanese Politics’ from the University of Tokyo Press reveals both the many contributions of rational choice institutionalism, with its focus on the incentive structures created by electoral systems and the system of executive authority (parliamentary, presidential, or semi-presidential), as well as some possible limitations.

Democratic Reform in Japan: Assessing the Impact
Confidence in the quality of Japanese democracy, never high, has, if anything, weakened since the bursting of the economic bubble. Reform of campaign financing and the Lower House electoral system in 1994 provided temporary reprieves, as did the Prime Ministership of Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) reformer Koizumi Jun’ichirō in the mid-2000s. Moreover, the victory of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) in the Lower House election of 2009 put a de…

The Decline of Particularism in Japanese Politics
Particularistic spending has played a storied role in Japanese politics, but during the last decade of LDP rule, expenditures on roads, bridges, agricultural projects, and the like steadily lost ground to more programmatic outlays on social welfare, science and technology, and public order (but not defense or foreign aid). Prime Minister Koizumi played an important role in this shift, but the trends preceded him and continued under his much weake…

Japanese and American Perspectives on East Asian Regionalism
Regular convening of East Asian summits and rising concerns about the American dollar have heightened interest in Asian cooperation. Japan will necessarily play a central role in regional endeavors, and the United States must at least acquiesce if regional coordination is to progress. Among American accounts, the most theoretically elaborate and systematically comparative analysis is A World of Regions, while Remapping East Asia provides the most…
What Can Taiwan (and the United States) Expect from Japan
In the 1990s and into the new century, increased Japanese sympathy toward Taiwan and antipathy toward mainland China led to a series of moves to improve treatment of Taiwan, including enhanced transportation links, a higher level and frequency of official contacts, posting of a military attaché, and expressions of support for Taiwan's participation in regional and international organizations. Nevertheless, Japan remains firmly wedded to a One Chi…
