According to the U.S. Code, the term "covert action" means an activity or activities of the United States Government to infl uence political, economic, or military conditions abroad, where it is intended that the role of the United States Government will not be apparent or acknowledged publicly. Osama bin Laden was killed when U.S. forces stormed his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in the early hours of May 2, 2011. CIA Director Leon E. Panetta said this was what's called a "Title 50" operation, which is a covert operation, and it comes directly from the President of the United States. The Abbottabad raid illustrates the post-9/11 security environment convergence of military and intelligence operations. This article focuses on the problem with both using military personnel to conduct covert action and using them without a military chain of command.

The object of this paper is to examine the historiography of the French Popular Front since 1960. It is possible to distinguish three phases of Popular Front studies after 1960. In the first phase (1960-80), the academic study of the Popular Front had started by 1965. Many books and articles were written using an anti-fascist approach. In the second phase (1980-2000), the study of the Popular Front changed due to four factors. Many researchers studied the aspects of the Popular Front in terms of cultural studies and political representation. In the third phase (2000- ), it is necessary to synthesize the methods of the first two phases. We should write the history of Popular Front by way of three approaches: anti-fascism, response to economic crisis and cultural revolution. In addition to these approaches, we should not neglect the existence of the Radical Party that formed part of the Popular Front. Therefore, concerning the study of the Popular Front in the 21st century, we need to integrate three analytic methods of the three parties that made up the Popular Front: Communist Party, Socialist Party and Radical Party.

There is a strong trend of adopting “complementary protection” as part of refugee protection policies in the world. Japan also grants so-called “status of humanitarian consideration” to those who fall outside the refugee defi nition under the Refugee Convention. In this paper, however, the author will argue that there is still much room for improvement in the complementary protection in Japan. By introducing international discussion on the “protection gap” and the impact of the 2011 revision of the European Union Qualification Directive, it will conclude that Japan must adopt a more advanced complementary protection policy to comply with the principle of non-discrimination.

Since the end of the Cold War, the United Nations has changed and developed its policies on peacekeeping operations. During this period, Japan has been committed to peacebuilding as one of its primary diplomatic policies and has played a role in Cambodia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and more recently, it has made efforts in countries such as Haiti and South Sudan. This paper points out some challenges Japan faces in the field of peacebuilding as it aims for a more proactive contribution for international peace and security.

The targeted killing policy by the U.S. government as part of its counterterrorism strategy has become a new political issue in the United States. The driving force behind the new mode of warfare, called the Predator drone warfare, that makes targeted killing possible is the existence of drones supported by remarkable technological innovation. The purpose of this article is to clarify problems with U.S. targeted killing by drones and thereby to consider what lies ahead for this new military policy.

This paper examines the writings of the Japanese Intelligentsia on the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution appearing in the academic forum of journals during the initial 3 years (1966-69) of the Revolution. The Japanese Intelligentsia, because of their feelings of guilt due to the Second Sino-Japanese war, their disillusionment with Russian socialism, and their anti-American and anti-structuralism feeling, were strongly drawn to the Cultural Revolution, viewing it as "a democratic movement to further consolidate the socialist revolution". Therefore, they considered Socialist China as a model for future Japan, resulting in analysis of China that contain a considerable amount of reference to Japan itself, which led to the misunderstanding of the true nature of the Cultural Revolution. This paper discusses the reasons why the Japanese Intelligentsia supported the Cultural Revolution and attempts to throw light on their deluded beliefs.
