Attitudes on the entry ban in Japan during the Covid-19 pandemic
Japan had one of the most restrictive entry bans between 2020 and 2023 to curb the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). While there was critical coverage of this entry ban by foreign media, how did Japanese citizens perceive these restrictions? We fielded a survey in February 2022 with 6,033 respondents, in which we asked the respondents whether they supported the ban and what types of foreigners they would support getting entry to the …
Gendered views on immigration policy stances? The case of Japan
Studies in political science have revealed that voters evaluate candidates’ policy platforms based on gendered views, where women are expected to handle issues such as education well, while men are perceived to be better at issues such as national security. However, the extent to which voters’ views are gendered on immigration policy is less known, as existing theories offer varying interpretations of whether this issue is more aligned with the f…
Conservative Politics and the Dilemma of Immigration in Japan
Conservative parties and politicians are often caught in a dilemma regarding immigration policies. Business interest groups and xenophobic populist forces both support conservative political parties but expect fundamentally different immigration policies. Japan is a rare case among advanced democracies that has experienced neither large-scale immigration nor the emergence of xenophobic populism. Yet, Japan’s conservative government, facing the re…
Japan as an Immigration Nation
Hidenori Sakanaka has been one of the most important figures in shaping Japan’s immigration policy in the last 50 years. As a young bureaucrat in the Ministry of Justice’s Immigration Bureau, his 1975 entry into the bureau’s essay contest is often credited with changing Japan’s policy toward Zainichi Koreans (Yamawaki 2001: 294)—Koreans who can trace their or their family’s time in Japan to the years 1910–1945, when Japan had colonized Korea. Sak…

Explaining Nonratification of the Genocide Convention
What explains the large variation in the time taken by states to ratify the 1948 Genocide Convention? The costs of ratification would appear to be relatively low, yet many states have waited several decades before ratifying this symbolically important treaty. This study employs a “nested analysis” that combines a large-n event history analysis with a detailed study of an important outlying case in order to explain the main sources of this variati…
International Pressure and Domestic Precedent
Why did Japan decide to admit more than 11,000 refugees from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia between 1975 and 2005? The conventional explanation is that Japan admitted these refugees because of pressure from foreign countries, and particularly from the United States. In this article, I argue that, in addition to foreign pressure, there was another factor that was important in causing Japan to admit these refugee populations. Japanese leaders agreed t…
International Norms and Women's Rights in Turkey and Japan
In 1985, the final year of the UN Decade for Women, 20 countries ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). In this article we examine the decisions of two non-Western states to ratify the convention as part of this flood of ratification: Japan and Turkey. We find empirical support for the main hypotheses advanced in the literature on norm cascades in international relations, but we also find …
Japanese Conservatism and the Integration of Foreign Residents
Granting foreign permanent residents the right to vote in local elections in Japan was one of the Clean Government Party (CGP)'s major policy priorities during its 11 years governing in coalition with the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). While the CGP proposed several bills that would have done this, none of those bills came close to passing. Why not? Conventional wisdom about Japanese conservatism suggests that the LDP would not support such a bi…
