SUMMARY:Workshop: Governance in Japan am 13.06.2023
DESCRIPTION:Organizers: Celeste Arrington and Gabriele Vogt \nDate: June 13\, 2023 \nLocation: Internationales Begegnungszentrum (IBZ) München\nAmalienstr. 38\, 80799 München \nThis workshop explores the diversity of tools of governance in Japan today. Historically\, scholars noted how Japanese approaches to public policy and social control tended to rely on non-binding and cooperative “soft law” measures\, such as administrative guidance (gyōsei shidō)\, strong social norms\, and public enlightenment activities (keihatsu). In the new millennium\, however\, legalistic modes of governance have proliferated\, involving more detailed legal clauses\, formal sanctions\, and more participatory policymaking procedures. New laws set legal caps on work hours\, prohibited discrimination against disabled persons\, mandated environmental impact assessments\, required public comment periods\, and obliged new or renovated schools to install barrier-free features. Often\, such legalistic rules coexist alongside hortatory soft law measures. Moreover\, subnational ordinances sometimes add stronger regulations (uwanose jōrei) or extend the scope (yokodashi jōrei) of national legal frameworks. \nBy comparing public policy tools across diverse issue areas\, this workshop aims to take stock of the range of different forms of governance that exist in Japan today—from recommendations to exercise self-restraint (jishuku yōsei) to obligations to endeavor (doryoku gimu) to legally enforceable rules. We will discuss the following questions: Under what conditions are Japanese policymakers likely to adopt informal versus legalistic tools of governance? Why is public policy becoming more legalistic in some issue areas but not others? How do formal and informal governance approaches interact\, whether productively or not? To what extent are citizens more involved in governance? What implications do the diverse tools of governance have for Japanese democracy? \nOpen to the public\, pre-registration is required by June 11\, 2023 Please register here: https://forms.gle/2fNWFVjTSwimV6HE8. \nWe acknowledge support from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the SFB 1369 “Cultures of Vigilance” at LMU Munich for this workshop. \n \n\nWorkshop Schedule:\n\n\n\n13:00\nIntroductions\n\n\n13:15 – 15:15\nPanel: Governance Beyond State Actors\nChair: Wen-Wei Lan\, LMU\n\n\n\nDual Characters – Emerging Patterns of Local Civic Self-Governance in Rural Japan\nHanno Jentzsch\, Leiden University\n\n\n\nThe Yanbaru Model of Community Stores: A Case of “Third Place” Local Governance\nGabriele Vogt\, LMU\n\n\n\nThe Revival of “Closed Country” Strategy: Japan’s Governance Tools in COVID-19\nSian Qian\, LMU\n\n\n\nNew and Old Manners on the Train in Times of the Pandemic\nPaul Kramer\, LMU\n\n\n\nExploring Standards and Rulemaking in Japanese Care Robotics\nJames Wright\, Alan Turing Institute\n\n\n15:15 – 16:00\nCoffee Break\n\n\n16:00 – 18:00\nPanel: The Changing Role of Legalism in Governance\nChair: Jane Sarah Khanizadeh\, LMU\n\n\n\nJapan’s Nuclear Disaster and the Politics of Safety Governance\nFlorentine Koppenborg\, TUM\n\n\n\nThe Theory and Practice of Media Governance in Japan\nYosuke Buchmeier\, LMU\n\n\n\nBarrier-Free Reforms and Societal Demand for Legalistic Governance in Japan\nCeleste Arrington\, George Washington University\n\n\n\nFrom Soft Law to Legal Pluralism: Japan’s Response to Hate Speech in Interaction between International\, National\, and Local Regulations\nAyako Hatano\, Oxford\n\n\n\nSame-Sex Marriage and Governance in Japan\nGuy Baldwin\, University of Cambridge\n\n\n18:00\nConcluding Remarks\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
