A Multidimensional Examination of Japans Post-War Recovery Based on the Korean War WANG Xiaorong, CHENG Yu Japanese Research    2024, 38 (5): 1-9.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2024.05.001 Abstract （848）      PDF（pc） （620KB）（2444）       Knowledge map    Save On June 25, 1950, the outbreak of the Korean War brought a turning point to Japan, which was still immersed in the mood of defeat. The United States urgent participation in the war made it necessary to rely on Japans war resources and to re-evaluate Japans strategic value. Additionally, the signing of the “Treaty of Peace with Japan” and the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty relieved Japans worries about its future to promote the “Yoshida Line”. Furthermore, the rapid left turn and failure of the Japanese Communist Party during the war greatly weakened the left-wing forces in Japan, paving the way for the rapid development of capitalism. In the face of the first war crisis in East Asia after World War II, Japan took full advantage of the situation to quickly complete the transition to a normal country and embarked on the fast track of economic development. It can be said that Japan was the biggest winner in the entire Korean War. To trace the root of Japans rapid post-war recovery, it is necessary to make a multidimensional examination of the role Japan played in the Korean War and the opportunities it faced.

“GIGA School Program”: The Key Measures and Implementation Status of the Digital Transformation of Japanese Education TAN Jianchuan Japanese Research    2025, 39 (1): 31-44.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2025.01.003 Abstract （1041）      PDF（pc） （670KB）（1771）       Knowledge map    Save With the wide application of digital technology in the field of education, the digital-driven educational change has become a worldwide theme. Countries continue to introduce digital development strategies and plans to implement the digital transformation of education in an all-round way. Since the launch of the education reform program named “GIGA School Program” in 2019, Japan has continuously improved the level of digital infrastructure construction, strengthened the application guidance of digital teaching in schools, improved the teacher training and support system, and achieved certain results.The implementation strategy reflects the characteristics of attaching importance to the concept of educational fairness, pursuing precise target management, emphasizing educational application guidance, and building a diversified collaborative system.However, there are still a series of problems in the implementation process, such as regional differences in the use of equipment, the increased work burden of teachers, the misunderstanding of the digital transformation, and the lag of educational management concept, which reflect the particularity and complexity of the digital transformation of education.

A Critical Review of Kohei Saito’s Constructive Approach to “De-Growth Communism” REN Ling, HUI Yue Japanese Research    2025, 39 (2): 16-26.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2025.02.002 Abstract （781）      PDF（pc） （569KB）（267）    PDF（mobile） （569KB）（6）    Knowledge map    Save Based on the ideas of Marx, Kohei Saito critically draws on the “de-growth” economic theories of the Western left, and attempts to construct an ideal model of an ecological civilization characterized by shared wealth, common governance, municipal autonomy, and economic homeostasis-“de-growth communism”. This theory profoundly criticized the imperialist way of production and life and enriched the theoretical connotation of eco-socialism. However, in his study of “de-growth communism”, Kohei Saito overemphasized the analysis of Marxism from an ecological point of view, and put forward the view that Marx opposed the development of productive forces in his later years, which is suspected of “utopian”. At the same time, his theory also opposes economic development and environmental protection to a certain extent, deviating from Marxs dialectical view of nature.

The Formation of Nanto Tensou in the Authority Gap during the Nanbokucho Period MA Teng Japanese Research    2024, 38 (5): 10-21.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2024.05.002 Abstract （780）      PDF（pc） （666KB）（81）       Knowledge map    Save During the period of Nanbokucho, there were already particular tensous responsible for the affairs of Koufuku Temple, but at that time, the so-called “Nanto tensou” was only newly appointed tensous responsible for daily document affairs, which was updated and replaced with the promotion of official positions. This characteristic unchanged by the time Madenokouji Tsugufusa was promoted to tensou in 1376.When Tsugufusa was promoted to the position of gondainagon in 1383, it was customary for a newly appointed tensou to take over Koufuku Temple affairs,yet the long absence of a replacement suggested a significant shift in the characteristic of Nantotensou.During the Nanbokucho period,tensou was rarely directly involved in negotiations in gosous from temples and shrines.In fact,Tsugufusa did not actually intervene in Koufuku Temple affairs in 1379—1383,which was in line with previous practice.It was only the Koufuku Temple gosou in Kouryaku period that created the illusion in the Kennaiki that Tsugufusa was appointed as Nantotensou in Kouryaku period.Referring to the handling methods of the two gosou by Ouan and Kouryaku period, it can be seen that there was an authority gap between the Kuge, Bakufu, and Jisya after the reign of gokougon tennou, which cannot be simply understood as the shogunates absorption of Kuges power. Therefore, the year of 1383 was also an important watershed for the changes in the political landscape during the Muromachi era. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

After the “Fifth Five-Year System”: The Realistic Dilemma and Root Causes of Japans Liberal Democratic Party WANG Jun, CUI Ziyu Japanese Research    2024, 38 (6): 21-38.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2024.06.002 Abstract （632）      PDF（pc） （8036KB）（76）       Knowledge map    Save Japans Liberal Democratic Party is a long-term ruling party in Japan. After the end of the “Fifth Five-Year System”, the party faces various challenges including election competition, internal governance, administration, and inter-party cooperation. Faced with the dramatic changes in Japans political environment, the Liberal Democratic Party has both the advantage of being a major party and the possibility of being powerless. On the one hand, the change in the competition mechanism between political parties has put higher demands on the Liberal Democratic Party, and the increase in “mobile voters” has led to greater uncertainty in the election results; on the other hand, the complex situation of domestic and foreign affairs highlights the limitations of the Liberal Democratic Partys comprehensive governance ability, and the stability of the cabinet is being tested.

Comparative Study on Japanese Youth Employment and Policy Proposals HUANG Guan, WANG Jingmiao Japanese Research    2025, 39 (3): 69-80.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2025.03.006 Abstract （613）      PDF（pc） （2106KB）（49）       Knowledge map    Save With the overall unemployment rate declining for a long time after WWII, Japan's youth unemployment has been particularly serious compared with other age groups since the “bubble economy” burst. There are both interpretations of the overall economic situation and theories based on Japan's employment structure regarding the causes of youth unemployment in Japan. Starting from the labor political movement in Japan, this article analyzes and discusses the emergence and evolution of youth unemployment in Japan. Through quantitative comparative analysis and evaluation of the youth unemployment situation in Japan, and relying on Okun's law to quantitatively test the relationship between the employment and unemployment situation of the Japanese youth group and its socioeconomic changes, the article interprets the various relief plans and effects of the Japanese government, and explores their policy design principles and inspirations for solving youth unemployment problems in China. Although due to differences in political and economic systems and social development levels, China cannot simply copy Japan's plan to address youth unemployment, research on the social, political, and economic issues caused by youth unemployment in Japan can still draw attention to similar problems in China. Analyzing its experiences and lessons can also provide China with ideas and policy alternatives to solve related problems. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

An Analysis of Japan's “Human Security” Diplomacy from the Perspective of Role Theory QIAO Linsheng, SONG Yang Japanese Research    2025, 39 (3): 1-15.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2025.03.001 Abstract （385）      PDF（pc） （849KB）（38）       Knowledge map    Save Role theory provides a vital analytical framework for understanding national diplomatic behaviors and policies. When a state's self-perceived role perception and practices clash with external role expectations in the international system, it may face external pressures arising from this. To achieve stable national role and gain international recognition, states often use role transition as a method for foreign policy adjustment. Japan's diplomatic practice in “human security” reflects multiple roles, which evolve due to internal and external role expectations amid shifting international environment and domestic societal development. The national role has followed a progressive trajectory from a norm advocate, development aid provider, and “peacebuilder” to a values-driven diplomacy practitioner, aid-for-interest seeker, and comprehensive security pursuer. Facing the relative decline in economic strength, Japan is attempting to expand strategic space through “human security”, aiming to construct broader international cooperation frameworks to support its strategic objective of attaining “normal state” status.

Analysis of the Relationship between the Pre-war Japanese Communist Party and Social Democratic Parties HAN Qianwei Japanese Research    2025, 39 (3): 16-27.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2025.03.002 Abstract （1023）      PDF（pc） （616KB）（30）       Knowledge map    Save From the perspective of the interaction between transnational structure and political party initiative, the pre-war(1920s—1940s)relationship between the Japanese Communist Party and the social democratic parties had five characteristics. First, the establishment of the JCP in 1922 preceded and stimulated the emergence of social democratic parties, deviating from the European model where communist parties split from left wings of social democratic parties. Second, the high pressure of the imperial system, the strategic discipline and localization pressure of the Comintern, and the “triple squeeze” of the militaristic fascist system have jointly shaped the narrow survival space and strategic choices of political parties. Third, the relationship between the Communist Party of Japan and social democratic parties presented a dynamic game of “anti-communism and united”, with fierce competition between the two sides in terms of ideology, organizational resources, and united front strategies, resulting in repeated defeats of the concept of a unified proletarian political party. Fourth, the brutal suppression by the Japanese government not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese Communist Party, but also forced social democratic parties(especially the right-wing)to gradually abandon socialist principles under fascist pressure, turn to “national socialism” and ultimately be engulfed by the New Order Movement, profoundly revealing the fragility of the reformist line under the rise of militarism. Fifth, the genealogy of the Communist Party of Japan and the three major social democratic parties, the pre-war mode of opposition, and core differences deeply influenced the complex relationship between the Communist Party and the Socialist Party after the war, which was both united and opposed.

The Disposal of Problem Small and Medium-sized Banks in Japan and Its Implications for China TIAN Zheng, LI Xin Japanese Research    2025, 39 (3): 46-58.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2025.03.004 Abstract （468）      PDF（pc） （598KB）（26）       Knowledge map    Save After the collapse of the bubble economy, Japan experienced the bankruptcy of small and medium-sized banks, which can be divided into three periods: the initial manifestation period, the rapid outbreak period, and the concentrated disposal period. Japan gradually formed measures to deal with problematic small and medium-sized banks, such as rescue-style mergers and acquisitions, early correction and early warning systems, which effectively alleviated the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis. The Japanese government also took measures to resolve the non-performing loans of small and medium-sized banks by strengthening the disclosure of non-performing loan information and improving the liquidity of non-performing loans through sorting out recovery agencies. Against the background of low interest rate spreads and an aging population, Japan's small and medium-sized banks continue to expand their sources of income, increase the scale and efficiency of their business operations, and build a local close-knit financial system to serve the needs of local social and economic development. Japan's experience has certain reference significance for promoting the risk disposal and transformation of China's small and medium-sized banks. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

The Impact of Economic and Political Uncertainty on the Overseas Business Performance of Japanese Enterprises: Based on the Moderating Role of Internal Trade XUE Jun, LIU Guiliang, FAN Yue Japanese Research    2025, 39 (3): 28-45.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2025.03.003 Abstract （345）      PDF（pc） （980KB）（8）       Knowledge map    Save Against the backdrop of intensifying global economic and political uncertainty, research on how Japanese enterprises navigate such disruptions to sustain overseas business performance remains limited. This study, drawing on data from Japanese enterprises operating in major global regions between 2007 and 2022, explores the impact of economic and political uncertainty on their overseas business performance, alongside the role of internal trade mechanisms within multinational corporations, to analyze the endogenous driving forces behind the sustainable growth of overseas business performance of Japanese enterprises. Findings indicate that economic and political uncertainty has a positive effect on the overseas business performance of Japanese enterprises. The core of this impact lies in the internal trade mechanisms within multinational corporations, which enhance firms' risk management capabilities, leading to stable growth in overseas performance. Unveiling the instrinsic mechanism of how economic and political uncertainty affects the overseas business performance of Japanese enterprises, and profoundly elucidating the strategic value of overseas invest menes by enterprises, can provide valuable insights for Chinese enterprises to enhance their risk response capabilities and sustainable deve lopment levels in global operation.
