The times when population decreased began in Japan, and time to reconsider a method of the conventional sewer construction came. Because individual processing is effective in the area having low population density, I think about the maintenance that utilized a septic tank.

During the 1980s, the peace movement and disarmament campaign were expanded in the Western and Eastern Europe. For example, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in the Britain a grass root peace movement had influenced on the nuclear policy of the Thatcher Administration, which it mobilized 250,000 people in the U.S. air force base at Greenham Common in 1982. Most of such movements also opposed deployment of the SS-20 ballistic missiles equipped with nuclear warheads in Eastern Europe by the Soviet Union. However, a part of the peace movements also criticized only to nuclear deployment in Western Europe by the NATO countries. For instance, the World Peace Council (WPC) had insisted official support for Soviet's disarmament proposal and nuclear deterrence policy. Because they were directly controlled and/or sponsored by the International Department of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the KGB. This article is to consider the analysis of intelligence that relates to European peace movement and the Soviet's active measures that the U.S. intelligence community, and to prove reliability of the U.S. intelligence reports.

Not a few caregivers consider killing cared elderly persons, therefore, we should work out a countermeasure to that problem. Behind the killing of cared elderly, there is a Japanese traditional idea. Many family caregivers cannot take care leave. We need to make "Handbook for Family Caregivers", promote respite care, improve the image of care leave system to change the status quo. "Handbook for Family Caregivers" provides information of care. The respite care is a right to rest if you want. We need to change the image of the elderly care for more easily taking a care leave system.

In 2000, the Security Council of the United Nations adopted resolution 1325, “Women, Peace, and Security,” which explicitly puts women in the context of peace and security for the first time. Reflecting this trend in international society, the research on women and conflict are growing. In this article, we review the recent development in this field, focusing on empirical analysis of women and intrastate conflict. In particular, we found most of the research shed light on two topics: the participation of women and the protection of women.

Whether 'sex without consent' should constitute the legal definition of sexual violence instead of the 'assault or intimidation requirement' has been discussed extensively in Japan. Applying qualitative methods, we conducted thematic analysis on oral and written narratives of consensual and non-consensual sex obtained from 30 Japanese women. Findings suggest that non-consensual sex most typically happen through 'entrapment', referring to the process through which the perpetrator exploits an unequal power relation in everyday life and corners the victim into a situation where she cannot resist, escape, or express refusal.

In Japan, the public policy graduate school system as a professional graduate school was established in 2004. This graduate school system was created in conjunction with administrative, civil service system, and legal education reform. Many issues were considered during the process, such as the mission of the graduate school, educational content, and school organisation. Participating in this process, I think that in the turmoil of administrative and university reform, we were able to launch a public policy graduate school, which is nothing more than a small boat with hope, and I assume that it has been sailing smoothly since.

Robert A. Dahl and other political scientists have pointed out that Norwegian parliamentary government is one of the most stable democracies in the world. Storting, the supreme legislature of Norway, was established at the constituent assembly at Eidsvoll in 1814. The establishment of the Norwegian constitution was the most important legacy of 1814. This essay illustrates the reasons and the process by which the 112 representatives at Eidsvoll were able to establish the parliamentary democracy in 1814. The constitutional assembly of 1814 faced extraordinary challenges such as the final stage of the Napoleonic War and turmoil in the European political order. To constitute a new political order in Norway, the Norwegian representatives needed not only authority to legitimate themselves, but also power to guarantee their newly established political regime. Unfortunately, the most important players of the Norwegian democracy were neither equipped with adequate authority nor enough power. At this critical moment of change in Norwegian politics, two foreign players stood out -- Christian Frederik and Carl Johan, who competed with each other to gain control of the Norwegian Crown. Christian Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark-Norway had the authority over Norwegian people and could initiate to establish the constituent assembly at Eidsvoll. Carl Johan, the former French marshal named Jean Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, was elected by Swedish parliament as heir to the Swedish throne. He had shown remarkable military skills and administrative capabilities. This essay notes the two historical factors, which contributed to establish the Norwegian parliamentary democracy. First, the synergy of the liberal nationalism of Norwegian representatives alongside the ambitious initiatives of Christian Frederik, and second the compromises between the Norwegian representatives and the cautious pragmatism of Carl Johan.

For the purpose of evaluating the basic ordinances of local assemblies that have increased nationwide, this paper will compare the texts of the ordinances and analyze them, and examine whether matters prescribed by the ordinances were really executed with 18 basic ordinances of local assemblies in Hokkaido as case studies. The results confirm that there were some differences in the contents prescribed by the ordinances, and there were several cases that were not executed even though the ordinances included the regulations that were the grounds for such.

The purpose of this article is to discuss participation in the SDI research by the Nakasone Administration. In 1985, the U.S. Department of Defense requested that it participate in the research of SDI for European countries and Japan. At first, West Europe and Japan showed a skeptic view about the realizability of SDI. However, the U.K. and West Germany concluded the agreement to participate in the SDI research that the United States initiated. To acquire the high technology that the United States developed, Japan also decided participation in the SDI research following the U.K. and West Germany. Japan was able to disclose the content of the agreement of the SDI research participation by doing the negotiation with the United States repeatedly. Moreover, a Japanese enterprise acquired use rights of the defense technology newly developed from the United States enterprise.

Masao Maruyama, one of the founders of post-war Japanese political science, formulated the concept ‘systematised irresponsibility’ in his analysis of wartime Japanese fascism. This concept is evident in the policymaking process surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Japan marks the worst death rate among the countries in East Asia and Oceania. The outlook of the bureaucracy in charge can be summarised as follows. The officials have failed to establish the order of priority among policy goals. They planned pseudo solutions without objective or scientific evidence, and concealed facts regarding the pandemic to avoid criticism. The institutional reforms of the government in the 1990s added new characteristics to the irresponsibility; concentration of power in the administration enables irresponsible political leaders to pursue meaningless policy.

Japanese articulation of higher education with high school education has depended upon entrance examinations of each university. It is very particular compared with other industrialized countries. As younger population has been decreasing since 1992, selective powers of universities to applicants have declined. Japanese system of the articulation has faced a turning point, and must introduce a new test to evaluate level of general education in high school.

This article discusses the chronological development of EU's energy security policy and its problems. Because energy security is primarily a responsibility of national governments, the European Union (European Commission in particular) was not able to formulate unified energy policy. But at the same time, due to the lack of natural energy resources, EU member states needed to cooperate in order to increase bargaining power against energy rich regions such as Middle East or Russia. The problem of international negotiation became clear when Russia and Ukraine increased the political tension, and in order to secure supply of natural gas from Russia, EU launched the discussion with Green Paper which resulted the first comprehensive energy policy in 2007. Furthermore, the "Energy 2020", a new policy document suggested the necessity for EU to influence the process of rules- and standard-making to secure the free trade environment for energy resources. However, the division of competence between member states and EU still make it difficult to formulate comprehensive energy policy. Furthermore, dynamic change of international environment such as "Arab Spring" and Russo-Ukraine conflict, and different reactions and interests of member states complicated the EU strategy for energy rich regions. This structural contradiction of EU's energy security policy implies that EU may not be hegemonic power in international arena, but their role as a giant consumer of energy would have a power to shape international energy market.
