On December 28, 2015, the Japanese and the South Korean governmentsreached the final and irreversible agreement on “comfort women” issuesafter a protracted diplomatic deadlock. This had impeded not only the twocountries’ bilateral security cooperation but also closer U.S.-Japan-SouthKorea trilateral security cooperation. To remove the impediment, theBarak Obama administration forcefully intervened in the Japan-SouthKorea deadlock.This study will first discuss the circumstances of severe politicization ofthe “comfort women” issues in Japan and South Korea and PresidentObama’s moves as related to the issues. Second, the study will analyzeunderling U.S. strategic interests and Obama’s political stakes behind hismoves. Third, given that the Obama administration did not produce anypolicy document on the issues, the analytical focus will be placed on twopolicy papers of major independent think-tanks that seemed to have shapedhis policy on the issues. Last, based on the total analysis, the study willconjecture near-future Japan-South Korea relations and the prospect forbilateral security cooperation.

As global environmental issues are attracting attention, EVs aregenerally considered to play a major role as a zero carbon solution becausethey do not emit carbon dioxide when they run.However, the environmental impact of EVs cannot be ignored from thestandpoint of the electricity they use when driving, and this point has alsobeen attracting attention in recent years. In other words, the use ofelectricity supplied by fossil fuel power generation, as typified by coal-firedpower generation, is not only ineffective in terms of environmental impact,but may even have a negative impact. Therefore, it is necessary to fullyconsider whether EVs can make a significant contribution to environmentalmeasures when the environmental impact of EVs is considered as a whole.In this paper, we would like to compare the life cycle assessment (LCA)of EVs and gasoline-powered vehicles to comprehensively determine theirenvironmental advantages.In other words, the purpose is to discuss the overall environmentaladvantages of EVs and gasoline-powered vehicles by comparing theenvironmental impacts of EVs and gasoline-powered vehicles in allprocesses of their sequence of flow, including procurement of rawmaterials, manufacture of parts and finished vehicles, delivery, sales, after-sales service, and disposal.

A central bank’s forward guidance is an important instrument as anunconventional monetary policy. If households and businesses form aninflation expectation along with the guidance, they could appropriatelyallocate resources along a time axis. However, as is known, the public doesnot always act in an economically rational manner, because of status quobias or other factors. In other words, a communication strategy by acentral bank should consider the public’s financial literacy or capability.Thus, this paper reviews the current status of and issues concerning thecommunication strategy of the Bank of England, because the Bank alreadyuses forward guidance and has several outreach programs. Theimplications of the Bank’s efforts can be summarized by two key points.First, forward guidance in the UK is considered to work as a tool for“price-level targeting.” Second, as part of its communication strategy, theBank has recently been trying to engage in layered “communication,”“conversation” with the public, and “education” in schools. This recognizesthe importance of “understanding” and “trust” from the public in order forcentral banks to maintain price stability.

Since the latter half of 1980's, actor-network theory (ANT) introduced the methodology of global production network in economic geography. ANT comes from the science technology history and post-structuralism. ANT's key concepts in economic geography are heterogeneous relations, and `acting at a distance', and `actants' consisted of humans and nonhumans. ANT shows power of networks and relations in global production system. Translation in ANT exchanges old `actants' and new `actants' and are negotiations or `modes of ordering' which is balancing mutual profits of each actant. The concept of hybrid network, mode of ordering, and `action at a distance' is examined power relations between globalization space and long distance network. The long distance of extended network needs to `actants' to maintain the relation within network. Actants are crucial process in network construction. The strength, durability and stability of network are constituted by mode of ordering. Moreover, the durability of long distance network requires the strong organization in the network in order to construct the pattern of social and environmental practice in particular times and spaces.

In this paper, we have examined the potential for overseas expansion offood service companies in Japan that are suffering from market contractionand other factors. Specifically, I focused on Saizeriya from a group of majorfood service companies that have been expanding their business relativelysteadily, and studied what specific factors have enabled them to expandtheir business.From the earnings analysis, it was found that Saizeriya has beenexpanding its stores relatively steadily in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, andSoutheast Asia. The reasons for this are as follows.(1)Store developmentand profitability in Asia and future issues, (2) foodstuff procurementstrategy, and(3)labor management strategy.In the following sections, we will examine how Saizeriya has used thesestrategies to expand in the restaurant markets of China, Taiwan, HongKong, and other countries, and discuss the key points of the overseasstrategies of Japanese restaurant companies.

This paper examines the strategy of development in Chinese food service market focusing on Saizeriya's case, one of the leading Japanese food service chain. In spite of expanding share of Japanese food service industry in Chinese market, media says that some companies are facing difficulties. Saizeriya's case could be described as a success when defining it as consequent increase of numbers of restraint after entering Chinese market. In this case study, factors of Saizeriya's success were analyzed focusing on it's strategy on1) procurement of food materials and2) labor management. This paper described how Saizeriya developed their business in Chinese food industry with using these strategies.

Amid increasing North Korea’s military threat, South Korea hascontinually taken anti-Japan policy primarily on the pretext of historyissues. This behavior is paradoxical given the strong need to buttress itsnational security through foreign and security policy cooperation withJapan, or to push forward a “quasi-alliance” with the country on the basis ofthe two separate U.S-South Korea and U.S.-Japan alliances. This study is anattempt to grasp why the anti-Japan policy has been put on priority.The study will first present a comparative analysis of South Korean anti-Japan and Taiwanese pro-Japan popular sentiments as basic driver of theirgovernments’ corresponding policies. Then, the analysis will argue thatinternal security consideration has in fact overridden the imperatives ofexternal security consideration. The analytical focus will be placed on theorthodoxy and legitimacy of the South Korean state and individualgovernments in contrast to those of Taiwan, leading to understanding thepivotal importance for the former to preserve national identity as the lastbastion of national security at the very critical moment of external andinternal crises.The study will conclude that, given the current combination of externaland internal conditions, South Korea will most probably have continualresort to anti-Japan policy in the foreseeable future. This will necessitateJapan to not seek active and stable foreign and security policy cooperationwith South Korea but mere good neighborliness that is based on commonstrategic interests. Thus, Japan has to lower expectation and to fine-tuneits South Korea policy accordingly.

The environment surrounding the restaurant industry in Japan isbecoming increasingly severe every year. Aside from the immediateproblem of the rapid contraction of demand for food service due to thespread of the new coronavirus, the biggest long-term problem is theongoing contraction of the domestic market due to Japan's declining andaging population. In contrast, overseas markets are steadily expanding dueto population growth and rising incomes, showing a favorable contrast tothe Japanese market.For this reason, in recent years, an increasing number of restaurantcompanies have actually turned their attention to overseas markets,especially Asian markets, and many of them are planning andimplementing overseas expansion.In previous research, this research team examined the performance ofJapanese food service companies expanding overseas and the status ofstore development by company, with a particular focus on their expansioninto the Taiwanese market. In this section, we examine the current statusof what groups of food service companies are actually expanding overseasby comparing 2017 and 2021. As a result, it became clear that the overallsituation of overseas expansion is becoming more polarized, with the socalledleading large corporate groups expanding further and the smallerand medium-sized corporate groups decreasing and withdrawing. However, this paper left some unanswered questions as to whether thesemacroeconomic conditions are universally applicable to all types andsectors of food service companies or not.Therefore, in this paper, we will focus on a sector of the food serviceindustry where there is not much prior research on overseas market entry,unlike the fast food chains and Japanese restaurants such as Japanese-stylepubs, which have been the main focus of research so far. In this paper, wefocus on the case of UCC's expansion into Taiwan. As will be discussedlater in this paper, UCC's expansion into Taiwan is characterized by thefact that it is not only an overseas expansion as a food service companywith coffee shop business as its core business, but also a strategy toexpand sales of coffee bean-related products in the Taiwanese market as afood (processing) industry.

In this paper, I have described the development of Company H's productstrategy in the Chinese market, which was established in roughly threestages. In the first stage, the company confirmed that there was a certainlevel of product demand in the Chinese market through antenna stores andthorough tasting and development. Next, in the second stage, by promotingthe localization strategy in product development, we have improved thesatisfaction level of local consumers and achieved sales expansion bypromoting further adjustments. By juxtaposing this localization strategywith the promotion strategy, the company has promoted the recognition ofJapanese style curry among Chinese consumers. Finally, we believe thatthe current third staircase aims to further expand sales in the market bydiversifying the product through various adjustments.With the progress of these efforts, Company H has achieved somesuccess.

The market size of the Japanese restaurant industry peaked at 29 trillionyen in 1997 and has been sluggish since then. Even more problematic isthat it is likely to decrease further in the future. According to the Japanesegovernment's announcement, due to the declining birthrate, Japan'spopulation is expected to reach 86.74 million by 2060, a significant decreasefrom the present. In other words, unlike the situation so far, it is predictedthat Japan will experience a serious population decline in the medium tolong term, which will inevitably reduce the market size of the Japanesefood service industry.Under these circumstances, the Japanese food service industry hasreached a time when it should seek new growth opportunities. The growthopportunity is, inevitably, to enter overseas markets where the populationis growing rapidly and income is rising significantly. In particular, the foodservice market in developing and emerging markets in Asia is likely todevelop significantly in the future.In this paper, based on this situation, we analyzed the actual situation ofthe overseas expansion of the Japanese restaurant industry, especiallyfocusing on the expansion into the Taiwanese market.

This paper investigates an actual case study of migrant labor force in CVillage, Henan Province, and draws the following conclusions. (1) Due to the sluggish agricultural economy in Village C and limitedintra-village employment opportunities, a large number of farmers havevoluntarily migrated out of the village. (2) The face sheet of the migrant labor force can be summarized asfollows:intra-regional migrant workers are mainly concentrated amongthose in their 30s and 40s, while those outside the region are characterizedby young workers in their 20s; In addition, the migrant labor force in Village C is mainly composed ofprimary and middle school graduates, with only a few having technicalschool or high school educations or higher. Therefore, the overall level ofeducation in rural Henan is low, and it is considered necessary to improveeducational institutions in rural areas and related infrastructure. (3) The migrant labor force in the province is mainly engaged in short-term employment or in the construction industry in areas within andoutside the province, where the distance is close. One of the reasons forthis can be attributed to dual employment with agricultural operations. Inaddition, out-of-province migrant workers are mainly moving to coastaland central cities that are quite far from their place of origin. As for out-of-province migration, the concept of distance between the place of originand the destination of migration is weak, indicating that migration to coastal and central cities in search of higher wages is the main source of migration. (4) The average annual income of all surveyed workers was found to beslightly lower than that of the national and provincial average. (5) The duration of service of migrant workers outside the region isconsiderably longer than that of migrant workers within the province. (6) Employment of the migrant labor force is mainly concentrated intemporary and short-term employment. In addition, the overall number ofrural labor force members who are privately owned or regularly employedis seen as quite small. The employment routes of the migrant labor forceconsist of introductions by acquaintances, family members, onlineinformation, and the local labor market, and in both the intra-provincialand extra-provincial regions, there is a tendency for the migrant laborforce to be introduced by acquaintances, family members, or rural laborforce members with migrant experience, indicating that rural labor forcemembers depend on acquaintances and blood relations for their migrantemployment.

This paper examines the critique of the Okishio theorem by thetemporal single system interpretation.The orthodox interpretation of Marx’s value theory determines thevalue/price magnitudes by using simultaneous equations. In this process,the magnitude of constant capital is calculated as current cost, and atechnical innovation results in the increase in the rate of profit (Okishiotheorem). Even though it is diametrically opposite to Marx, this story hasbeen widely supported by not only neo-classical economists but alsoMarxian economists.However, the temporal single system interpretation (TSSI) has criticizedthe Okishio theorem since the 1980 s. The TSSI rejects simultaneousequations to determine the magnitudes of values/prices, and uses the logicof the circuit of capital. In this process, the magnitude of constant capital iscalculated as historical cost. Because the magnitude of constant capitaldoesn’t re-valued, the rate of profit falls in case of a technical innovation.The difference between the orthodox interpretation and the TSSIbecomes apparent when technical innovations are incessant. Especiallywhen incessant technical innovations occur in the sector producing fixedcapital, the gap between current cost and historical cost becomes critical.Such incessant technical innovations are characteristic in the moderncompetition of the global capitalist economy, and we see many capitalsstruggling with losses from incessant technical innovations. In this processcapitals face the fall in the rate of profit, and the TSSI reflects the reality.When Okishio submitted the theorem, the rate of profit of Japaneseeconomy did not fall and the Okishio theorem had the economic base.However, the rate of profit of Japanese economy has been falling since the1970 s and the Okishio theorem does not have the economic base any more.From the viewpoint of the historical materialism, the economic base callsfor a change of the superstructure: from the orthodox interpretation andthe Okishio theorem to the TSSI.

This paper reviews the impact of aging population on the natural rate ofinterest and monetary policy from the new Keynesian model (NKM)perspective. The standard NKM has been used in recent analysis ofmonetary policy. However, it limits the effect of heterogeneous agents onthe private sector. Therefore, how aging population changes the effect ofmonetary policy on the real economy cannot be examined. This surveyfocuses on the NKM augmented with the role of heterogeneous agentsand shows that economic shocks have asymmetric impacts on differenthouseholds and that a change in the demographic structure significantlyaffects the dynamics of the natural rate of interest.
