| Summary/Abstract |
In this article, I show how Prime Minister Abe Shinzo has promoted two major national and international economic policies—Abenomics and Japan’s involvement in the Trans-Pacific Partnership— by focusing on his administration’s domestic political struggles. Both agendas become significant in the face of China’s regional engagement, demonstrating the inextricable ties between international affairs and domestic politics, a combination essential for grasping the “Abe effect” in foreign policy. KEYWORDS: Abenomics, TPP, decisionmaking process, agricultural reform in Japan.

| Summary/Abstract |
Japan’s economic development after emerging from the ashes and devastations of World War II within a few years was a remarkable success story that captured the attention of the entire world. The democratic structure laid down by the Occupation forces led by the Supreme Commander of Allied Powers (SCAP) General Douglas MacArthur provided the right institutional framework that could make the revival process of the economy and development goals to be achieved in a short period possible.

| Summary/Abstract |
examine the Koizumi Junichiro era in Japan to derive lessons for the current Abe Shinzo administration that vows to get Japan back on the path of sustainable growth. Standard growth theory identifies total factor productivity (TFP) as the key to sustainable growth. The existing empirical evidence clearly indicates that economic recovery during Koizumi's tenure was accompanied by robust growth of TFP. To account for this improvement in TFP performance, I focus on three developments during Koizumi's term: promotion of competition by introducing market discipline to various sectors of the economy, effectiveness of market entry and exit, and use of foreign competitive pressure to enhance domestic efficiency.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi’s selection of Japan as the first port of call (31 August – 3 September 2014) outside the immediate neighbourhood has opened new vistas of cooperation and greater engagement between the two regional economic powers. Going by the plethora of Agreements signed and negotiations undertaken by the leaders of the two countries towards the intensification of bilateral economic engagement, the visit has indeed generated momentum in the trajectory of Indo-Japan ties. In particular, the convergence of the economic policies initiated by Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart, Shinzo Abe, namely “Modinomics” and “Abenomics” respectively, has affirmed New Delhi’s broader and stronger partnership with Tokyo for economic development, especially in the infrastructure sector. Given this cooperative premise, in the backdrop of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), that is operational between India and Japan since 2011, the manner in which the newly-installed Government in New Delhi steers its vehicle of economic diplomacy towards ‘Destination Japan’ gains import and hold much promise for future.

| Summary/Abstract |
Japanese domestic politics grew more volatile and complex in 2017, as LDP electoral reversals were followed by opposition fragmentation and then conservative consolidation. Foreign policy was dominated by the security challenge of North Korea, but also involved deepened relations with the US and Europe, as well as unanticipated improvement with China and South Korea. Macroeconomic trends were positive, but structural reform proceeded only slowly. Japanese society remained slow to change.

| Summary/Abstract |
Under what we call Abenergynomics, Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzō has used energy policy to support the growth objectives of Abenomics, even when the associated policies are publicly unpopular, opposed by utility companies, or harmful to the environment. We show how Abenergynomics has shaped Japanese policy on nuclear power, electricity deregulation, renewable energy, and climate change.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article reviews Japan's strategic options and policy initiatives under Prime Minister Abe, taking into consideration strategic changes in the region; chiefly a rising China and a United States approaching geopolitical retreat, and the policy implications of these developments. Mr Abe's announced goal is to restore Japan to its once great power status, and thus far success is proving elusive.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article compares the public perceptions of various types of migrants in Japan and examines whether Japanese view them equally. Using an original survey, which presented six types of migrants that Japanese people most commonly face in their daily lives, I show several interesting results. First, respondents express the most negative views toward labor migrants. Second, respondents who have migrant friends tend to have more positive feelings for all types of migrants. In contrast, simple coexistence with migrants fails to enhance public sentiment toward labor migrants, particularly those whose stay is temporary. Overall, my statistical results suggest that Japanese people are not pessimistic about every kind of migrant, and their openness increases as migrants acculturate into Japanese society and interact with Japanese people. These findings provide evidence to influence policy discussions on whether Japan should recruit labor migrants in its current form in order to fight its aging population.
