Nowadays civil society in Japan is in the midst of a great transformation at a time when 'publicness', which used to belong to the authorities, should now involve those whom are concerned with administrative and fiscal reforms. Consequently, people in local communities have growing commitments to participate in policymaking directly, in a so-called 'partnership'. Furthermore, there is a growing interest in how the authorities should reform their environmental, welfare, and urban development policies at the regional level. It is certain that decision-making should depend on how well the residents of the local district facilitate consensus-building efforts among themselves. Prior to accomplishing agreement, mutual understanding is called for by means of communication in the local community. This is the reason why I discuss the theoretical possibilities of the Chonaikai (neighborhood association) within the framework of civil public sphere(Harbermas 1973), that is described as a communication space in order to present an ideal model of the Chonaikai. I argue that the ideal model should be considered as a voluntary association, in which the people establish agendas relevant to self-evident 'living', some of which might result in the raising of political issues in civil society by means of intersubjective communication.

Community development movements, which emerged in Japan in the 1980, are believed to have contributed to regional rejuvenation through the restructuring of communities as well as through economic development. The movements originally developed under administrative leadership, however the nature of regional development has changed drastically due to the decentralization of Japan's political system and socio-economic changes in Japan's rural society. Changes were further accelerated by the rise of nonprofit activities in the late 1990s. This article tries to analyze the types of experts involved in these movements. Three typical types of experts are found in community development, and their development stages are described. To prevent over-involvement by such experts, the author proposes the idea of flexible expertise and limited liability experts based on an intensive review of literature and an analysis of cases.

This article examines the effectiveness of defining public space in subway stations in Mexico City as media, especially for the purpose of nation-building or Mexicanization. The stations are natural places for people to congregate and many are adorned with murals, objet, replicas of pre-Hispanic ruins and walls, and even expositions. These displays constitute an important example of historical representations of the nation and national culture. The paper examines the function of these public spaces as a vehicle for sending messages to commuters and passengers, and also the processes of self-representation of Mexican people.

This paper analyzes the course of the camouflage event of the falsified expiration date by the ISHIYA company limited, and approaches an effective ideal way of crises management. The first point that requires clarification is that there is a difference between management before the scandal and management after the scandal. In this paper, the latter is defined as crises management. The second point that requires clarification is that whether the ISHIYA's crises management was really excellent. As a result of our case study, we obtained a suggestion of the interrelation of corporate philanthropy and crises management. In conclusion, we should note that it is possible to recover the lost confidence in the scandal by corporate reputation obtained from regional contribution.
