Environmental Pollution and the Media: Political Discourses of Risk and Responsibility in Australia, China and Japan
Chapter Three AustraliaAustralia is the first of our case studies.In one way at least, Australia represents the beginning of our transnational pollution story--even if the phenomena we are exploring in this book are best viewed as a circular flow of political communications, goods and environmental harms in which all three countries in this study are caught.Each country is affected by the massive quantities of pollutants emitted daily into the wo…
Regional Risk and Security in Japan: Whither the everyday
Japan’s unusual position in the realm of international politics encapsulates a three-fold juxtaposition: both in and out of Asia, both occupied by and a close ally of the United States, and both a key trade partner and a strategic rival of China. Whilst international relations theory offers a number of ways to analyse these relations, this book instead utilizes the concept of risk to provide an innovative perspective on Japan’s relations with Chi…
The American eagle in Okinawa: The Politics of Contested Memory and the Unfinished War
This article on contested memory and the ‘unfinished war’ in Okinawa explores the link between the memories of the battle of Okinawa and US military accidents in the prefecture, on the one hand, and the calls to reduce US installations, on the other. National government policy-makers and security managers view Okinawa's outposts of American power as an essential ingredient in a security policy aimed at deterring potential enemies, whether these a…

Japan’s Risky Frontiers: Territorial Sovereignty and Governance of the Senkaku Islands 1
This article investigates Japan’s current role in the Senkaku Islands. The government maintains administrative control of these tiny, uninhabited islands and rocks at the frontier of Japan, but both the governments of China and Taiwan dispute Japanese claims to sovereignty and claim sovereignty over the islands themselves. Whilst much of the extant literature examines these competing claims, this article instead explores the relationship between …

In this process, we demonstrate the salience of networked human and environmental security actors and their articulation…
Transposition in Japanese state identities: Overseas troop dispatches and the emergence of a humanitarian power
This article aims to illustrate the trajectory of Japan's security identity transposition. As one of the catalysts in identity transposition, it focuses on the constitutive roles of norms regulating Japan's overseas dispatches of the Self-Defense Forces (SDF). Whilst keeping the identities of ‘a peace state’ and ‘a civilian power’, the authors argue that Japan has crafted a new security identity after the end of the cold war and the 9/11 terroris…

Intersecting risks and governing Okinawa: American bases and the unfinished war
This article investigates the internal risks posed by US military installations to the inhabitants of Okinawa as a result of the security policy adopted by the Japanese government to deal with the external risks and specific threats faced by Japan. Although these outposts of US power are viewed by supporters of the alliance as beneficial to the security of Japan, their existence and operation pose risks to the population, with the overwhelming bu…
"Self-responsibility" and the Nature of the Postwar Japanese State: Risk through the Looking Glass
This article examines the relationship between the postwar Japanese state and the citizen by focusing on how the state has deployed the discourse of "self-responsibility" in recalibrating the citizen's exposure to external and internal risks. In the context of a more pro-active military role and the pressures of globalization, the citizen is increasingly being required to mediate a range of risks. The article develops this argument by analyzing t…

Return to Uchina ̄: The politics of identity in contemporary Okinawa
Militarisation and Demilitarisation in Contemporary Japan
The intertwined issues of Japanese `identity' and `normality' are at the centre of the tension between internal and external pressures on Japanese defence and security policies. With chapters on peace thought, the militarisation and demilitarisation of language as well as the `hard' aspects of the Japanese military build up in the 1980s and the response to the Gulf War in the 1990s, this study challenges many of the preconceived notions on Japane…

Japan and the East Asian Financial Crisis: Patterns, Motivations and Instrumentalisation of Japanese Regional Economic Diplomacy
At first sight, the East Asian financial crisis represents an instance of Japan failing the test of regional leadership - as evidenced by its abandonment of initial proposals for an Asian Monetary Fund (AMF) in the face of US and Chinese opposition in 1997. However, if a second look is taken, and one which is sensitised to the fundamental characteristics of its diplomacy, then Japan can be seen as far more effective in augmenting its regional lea…

The Erosion of Anti-Militaristic Principles in Contemporary Japan
The article examines militarization in contemporary Japan, as most saliently mamfest in increases in military spending and the buildup of military might, by focusing on the erosion of anti-militaristic principles. This includes the broader interpretation of Article 9 of the Constitution, which now permits certain 'offensive weaponry' and 'collective defense' type arrangements; the weakening of the 'three non-nuclear principles', which are not eff…
The Nuclearization of Language: Nuclear Allergy as Political Metaphor
This article explores the role of metaphor in structuring political reality for manipulative purposes. The research is mainly limited to an analysis of nuclear allergy as political metaphor. This metaphor was used most predominantly in the late 1960s to brand opponents of Japan's nuclearization as 'allergic'. By locating antinuclear sentiments in the medical context of disease, those trying to nuclearize Japan were able to invoke the entailment o…

Introduction Risk and security in Japan: From the International to the Societal
A review essay
It was thirty-six years ago, on August 6, 1945, that Colonel Paul W. Tibbets and his crew, military men representing the United States in the Allied War against the Japanese Empire, flew their B29, Enola Gay, from the Tinian Air Base to Hiroshima in order to drop a 12.5 kiloton uranium 235 bomb dubbed “Little Boy” (after Franklin D. Roosevelt) on this enemy city. The hypocenter of the bomb was in the vicinity of Shima Hospital; the time, approxim…

Roots of nuclearism: Censorship and reportage of atomic damage in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The Asia-Pacific Region
tries to capture. Hence 'Asia-Pacific', while embracing the geographic space of the appellations 'Asia' and 'Pacific', is more a political than a geographic concept, with a degree of fuzziness as to the region's boundaries. For 'Asia-Pacific' as a political concept is a rejection of definition in terms of the Other, like Asia, which is NOT the West; and a rejection of the peripheralization implied in Eurocentric expressions like the 'Far East'. S…

Censorship and reportage of atomic damage and casualties in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
In the summer of 1945 a number of leading scientists on the Manhattan Project, members of the newly created Committee on Social and Political Implications headed by James Franck, argued against the unannounced use of the atomic bomb against Japan. The committee's report, known as the Franck Report, was shaped by Leo Szilard, who focused on the problem of using the bomb during the war rather than the problem of developing atomic energy after the w…

The East Asian Economic Caucus: A Case of Reactive Subregionalism?
The widening and deepening of regionalization processes in the context of an increasingly globalized political economy, together with the resurgence of regionalism and subregionalism as statist projects pursued by a phalanx of policy elites in the wake of the Cold War's ending, point to the growing saliency of spatial relations in the shaping of the nascent global and regional orders. In the Cold-War era, space as a source of identity was buried …
