Constructing Japan's ‘northern territories: domestic actors, interests, and the symbolism of the disputed islands / Bukh, Alexander   Journal Article
Bukh, Alexander Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This article seeks to contribute both to the scholarly debate on Japan's territorial dispute with USSR/Russia and to the broader body of academic literature devoted to the ideational factor in foreign policy. By focusing on the formative years of the dispute and examining the variety of symbolic meanings attached to the Soviet-occupied islands by the domestic actors, this article examines the process of the emergence of the idea of the 'Northern Territories' as a national mission. It argues that the formation and institutionalization of the idea of the 'Northern Territories' in its present form can be traced to a complex web of power relations among the domestic actors, none of which perceived the return of the territory as its ultimate goal.

EU conditionality is not the only game in town: domestic drivers of Turkey's Europeanization / Yilmaz, Gozde   Journal Article
Yilmaz, Gozde Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Despite the weakened push by the European Union (EU) conditionality across time, Turkey's Europeanization process continues in a number of areas selectively. Focusing on such a puzzling trend, this article critically examines the role of EU conditionality on Turkey's Europeanization and unpacks domestic drivers of change. The article explores the impact of grassroots actors ?Turkish civil society organizations, business interest groups, media and political parties? on domestic change in the last decade and argues that continuing reforms in many areas in an era of limited EU-push are influenced by domestic actors.
