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

SUMMARY:Vortrag: „Reality Representation on NHK Television News: Change\, Continuities\, and New Ways of Legitimizing the Social Order“ (Yosuke Buchmeier\, M.A.)
DESCRIPTION:With few democratic institutions the gap between supposed mission and actual role could hardly be any larger than with the news media. The news media is expected to play a crucial role in a democracy by providing citizens with the information they need to make informed decisions about their lives and the society they live in. It is also supposed to serve as a watchdog\, monitoring the activities of government officials\, businesses\, and other organizations to ensure that they are acting in the best interests of the public. Finally\, it should provide a platform for the public to voice their concerns and exchange opinions. These ideals apply even more so for public service media which\, according to its mission\, should be free from political or business interests. \nThis research project sets out to provide an in-depth inquiry into this gap between normative ideals and actual role of the news media by taking up the case of public service media NHK in Japan. Thereby\, it explores the characteristics of NHK television news and analyzes how the broadcaster portrays society and politics in its news program. The first focus of the presentation will be the discussion of the study’s methodology\, a content analysis\, which deploys a category system of deductively and inductively developed categories. \nThe second focus will be the presentation of preliminary results\, featuring change and continuities of NHK television news more than two decades since Ellis Krauss’s seminal study. Based on Krauss’s study\, NHK news is widely considered to emphasize fact over interpretation and give unusual priority to the national bureaucracy. In doing so\, it supported the legitimization of the state in post-war Japan. Does this observation still hold true two decades in the new millennium? The results of my study indicate that NHK news has significantly changed in some ways\, e.g.\, that the bureaucrats do not play a prime role on the screen anymore\, but continuities persist in that the broadcaster found new ways of legitimizing the social order. \nYosuke Buchmeier is a research associate and doctoral candidate at the Japan Center of Munich University (LMU). His research focuses on media\, journalism\, and democracy in Japan. \nLatest publications:\n(Forthcoming\, with Gabriele Vogt) „The Aging Democracy: Demographic Effects\, Political Legitimacy\, and the Quest for Generational Pluralism“ in: Perspectives on Politics. \n(Forthcoming) „Schweigekultur\, Tabus und der öffentliche Diskurs: Agenda Cutting in Japan“ in: Hektor Haarkötter and Jörg-Uwe Nieland (eds.): Agenda Cutting.

SUMMARY:Vortrag: „Pioneering Female: Japanese Female Physicians in Germany during the Meiji Era“ (Wen-Wei Lan\, M.A.)
DESCRIPTION:In the late nineteenth century\, Japan underwent a period of significant transformation marked by political and social changes. One key aspect of this transformation was the introduction of compulsory education by the Meiji government in 1872. While compulsory education primarily targeted on men to bolster national security\, women were encouraged to acquire practical skills for motherhood and marriage. \nAnother crucial point to promote this transformation is that the government sought to revive a strong nation by acquiring knowledge and technological advancements from Western countries. They sent students to the United States and European countries. During the 1890s\, the number of Japanese students who chose to study in Germany significantly increased and reached a zenith. Given the growing body of literature on overseas students\, a lacuna in existing research on the experiences of female Japanese medical students who pursued medical education in Germany has remained. This study addresses the gap in the literature by examining the experiences of two pioneering female Japanese medical professionals\, Dr. Urata Tada and Dr. Fukui Shigeko\, who pursued their medical studies in Marburg. They were noteworthy students who traveled to Germany in the early twentieth century. After earning a medical degree\, they served as physicians and focused on intensive medical training to establish a foundation for their future careers. After returning to Japan\, they opened their own clinics and became trailblazers in their field. \nThis study aims to examine on the motivations that drove female Japanese physicians to choose Germany as their educational destination\, a choice that challenged societal expectations and traditional gender roles. Through my research\, I analyze the unique circumstances that allowed Dr. Urata and Dr. Fukui to succeed despite the limitations placed on female students in German universities\, which ultimately rendering them to successfully study and earn MD degrees at Marburg University. This research offers a deeper understanding of female education in modern Japan and spotlights the marked contributions of female Japanese physicians during the Meiji period to medical education and practice. \nWen-Wei Lan\, a Ph.D. student affiliated with the Japan Center\, is dedicated to studying the history of education\, gender\, and knowledge transfer in Japan. Her doctoral research centers around female education during the Meiji era. Before joining LMU\, she obtained her M.A. in Japanese Studies at the National Taiwan University and worked as a research assistant at Academia Sinica. \nDer Vortrag findet in Präsenz statt. Ort: Japan-Zentrum der LMU\, Seminargebäude am Englischen Garten\, Oettingenstr. 67\, 80538 München\, Raum 151.
