    • Society 5.0 and inclusive resilience

      Andrew DeWit, Rajib Shaw

      An integrated governance approach towards a water-energy-food nexus and climate change   18 10 2022

      More details

      This chapter describes how Japan's Society 5.0 (cyber-space + physical space) industrial policy emphasizes inclusive resilience in developing and deploying advanced digitalization technology. Inclusiveness is embodied in a collaborative platform capitalism, aimed at maximizing public goods. Collaborative platforms are evident in multi-stakeholder SDGs cities, smart cities, local national resilience planning, and related initiatives. We thus show how Japanese policymaking emphasizes several kinds of inclusiveness. Governance is adapting to climate and other cascading hazard risks that outstrip the capacity of segmented agency and infrastructures to respond effectively. Japan thus offers a lesson on how to expand disaster-risk reduction to address interconnected climate, seismic, demographic, economic, health, and other hazards. At the same time, Japanese Society 5.0 strategies fall short in recognizing the imperative of integrating the emergent challenge of secure and environmentally sustainable supplies of critical raw materials, or critical minerals. This deficit in policymaking is surprising for a resource-poor country, and needs to be remedied.

    • Indo-Japanese Collaboration on Energy Security and Critical Raw Materials (CRM)

      <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The clean energy transition is complicated by material constraints that threaten national security. Idealized proposals for a rapid decarbonization via a greatly accelerated diffusion of solar, wind, battery and other technologies entails massive amounts of critical raw materials (CRM). These CRM include copper, aluminum, cobalt, lithium, graphite, rare earths, and other minerals and metals. In the international debate, CRM are also referred to as “critical minerals,” “critical strategic minerals,” “battery minerals,” “energy transition metals,” and various other terms. The International Energy Agency (IEA) aggressively supports decarbonization, but also warns that zero-carbon scenarios imply that the energy sector's overall demand for CRM could sextuple by 2040. Japan aims for net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, and India's net-zero target is two decades later. But like all countries, their CRM supply chains are at present unable to satisfy ambitious goals for deploying solar, wind, battery storage, power transmission, and green hydrogen. Multilateral cooperation is imperative to address the growing challenges of CRM, especially their price volatility, security of supply, and Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues. Building a sustainable and diversified global supply chain is crucial to building security in clean energy. One step in this direction was seen in September 2021, when Japan, India and other members of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or QUAD, signed an agreement for cooperation in procuring rare earths. This paper discusses potential additional cooperation between India and Japan, for bolstering both countries' CRM supply security.</jats:p>

      <jats:p>The world continues to be gripped by COVID-19, though the pandemic’s impact varies across countries and regions. The South Asian case is illustrative. The region is marked by inherent socioeconomic and other vulnerabilities, including high population density, relatively poor health care, and limited water sanitation facilities. South Asian countries also evince varied levels of damage from the pandemic. This paper examines the region’s circumstances as of November 2020, using macroeconomic data to explore varied pandemic impacts and fiscal policy responses. We also discuss the COVID-19 fund formed at the South-Asian regional level with contributions from all eight South Asian countries. Our analysis includes each country’s external and internal share of fiscal stimulus, and the implications for sustainable development goals (SDGs). In an argument for integrating resilience and development frameworks, the paper analyses Japan’s example of national resilience planning and related sustainable development frameworks. Our research indicates that a sustainable recovery is advantaged by fiscal stimulus that can be linked to extant developmental frameworks.</jats:p>

      In the all-encompassing energy realm, powerful state and private actors determine which of the world's many energy resources are developed ... and how societies are molded to accommodate those decisions. The authors of The Geopolitics of Global Energy delve into the energy realm, identifying the infrastructure investments of today that are shaping the use patterns and political dependencies of tomorrow. They explore as well, the prospects for change to more sustainable and democratically accountable forms of energy.

      <jats:p>Japan is more fluid than it has been in years. The end of Japan's “nejire kokkai” (“divided Diet)” via Abe's resounding win in the July 21 Upper House elections was hailed in many circles in Japan and internationally as heralding three years of stability in government. But perhaps this sense of stability has very weak foundations.</jats:p>

      <jats:p>On July 18, Japan's Softbank announced that it has formed a partnership with US Bloom Energy to enter the Japanese market and proceed from there through Asia. The good news comes at a time when an election victory prompts PM Abe Shinzo to embark on a bold and risky agenda of constitutional revision, military expansion and heightened conflict with China. Back in the early 2000s, Softbank CEO Son Masayoshi blazed a trail that led Japan to having the among the fastest and cheapest internet services in the world. Abe and Son appear to represent polar opposites in their approach to development, independence and power. In this short piece, I argue that while analysts have been dazzled by Abe's electoral triumph, Son's resilient and internationalist road could shape a very different and positive Japanese economic, technological and energy future than that envisaged by the PM.</jats:p>

      Asia-Pacific Journal   12 2012

      More details

      Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

      <jats:p>Read this fascinating and timely piece by Bloomberg for a succinct, “you are here” perspective on Japan's power politics. Bloomberg nicely captures the essence of what Softbank's CEO Son Masayoshi is doing in Japan. We have heard for years from LDP regimes that Japan was head of the pack when it came to the industrialized states' comparative environmental awareness, energy efficiency and expansion of renewable energy. Certainly it is true that many Japanese companies have highly efficient manufacturing processes and a strong presence in the production of geothermal, solar and other sustainable energy technologies. But we all learned in the wake of the Fukushima incident that Japan's domestic energy market is dominated by the nuclear village people. Their schemes included reprocessing waste on top of fault lines and ramping up nuclear energy to secure no less than 60% of all of Japan's energy needs by 2100. Fortunately, those plans are melting into air. Moreover, it has also become clear that Japan's nuclear policy relied on massive state aid and collusion to defray the immense costs through public budgets and other means. As Softbank's Son declares in his frequent public events, nuclear power is at least three time more expensive than the roughly YEN 6/kWh routinely asserted by its advocates and their cheerleaders. That financial cost (not to mention the essentially incalculable health and other risks) is the door that Son points to in describing his plan to open up new frontiers with increasingly cheap renewable power production.</jats:p>

      Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

      <jats:p>Over the past year, the idea that Japan can and should turn rapidly to renewable energy has gone from minority opinion to common sense. We are clearly watching a revolution unfold, but Japan—and not only Japan—should never forget that this is not a solitary run but a race whose prizes include economic development, jobs, and averting global warming. We usually think of the renewable competition as China or Germany, but surprisingly it also includes the US Air Force, the Navy, and the Department of Energy as well as major US corporations. The US Environmental Protection Agency's 1300 member list of Green Power Partners includes US firms such as Intel, which gets 88% of its electricity from renewables, and US municipalities like Austin Texas, which gets 100% of its electricity from green power. The members are ranked by total volume of renewable power used annually. On this basis, the Air Force is 16<jats:sup>th</jats:sup>. It has 131 renewable projects in operation on 56 bases, with 50 more projects under construction. These projects include solar PV, solar thermal, geothermal heat pumps, wind, landfill gas, and others. The US Air Force plans to raise their current 3% renewable-power rate (roughly equal to Japan's) to 27% by 2016.</jats:p>

      <jats:p>In a wide-ranging interview with the Wall Street Journal on October 25, 2013, Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo outlined his plan to enhance Japanese leadership in Asia. He meant leadership on multiple fronts, including the economy, military affairs, and regional engagement. Abe insisted that his interactions with regional representatives showed that “Japan is expected to exert leadership not just on the economic front, but in the field of security in the Asia-Pacific.” He lamented Japan's economic malaise of the past two decades, arguing that it has led to an “inward-looking” country, in which students are reluctant to study overseas and the public is unenthusiastic about providing aid to other countries. He linked his still quite vague economic reforms with a vision of productive resurgence: “By regaining a strong economy, Japan will regain confidence as well, and we'd like to contribute more to making the world a better place.”</jats:p>

      Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

      <jats:p>The effects of the Fukushima shock continue to spread. Throughout the eventful summer, one of those consequences was the turn away from nuclear power with a dramatic emphasis on renewable power and the feed-in tariff (FIT) to deploy it fast. The FIT policy was championed by former Prime Minister Kan Naoto as well as the CEO of Softbank, Son Masayoshi. They and others in the political, business, non-profit, and academic communities strongly endorsed a legislative bill to expand Japan's handicapped FIT to geothermal, wind, biomass and small hydro. The bill was passed on August of 26 with explicit constraints on the Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry's (METI) capacity to hamstring renewables in favour of nuclear power and on behalf of the nuclear village. Notably, the bill took price setting out of METI's hands. But now METI and its allies in the nuclear village are trying to get that clout back in their hands.</jats:p>

      Natural Disaster and Nuclear Crisis in Japan   12 3 2012

      More details

      Throughout the summer following the March 11 magnitude 9 earthquake and massive tsunami, Japanese politics and energy policy continued to reel from the shock of nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima-Daiichi reactor complex. Confusion is of course to be expected in the wake of such an enormous tragedy. But it is being exacerbated by vested interests that seek to stymie fundamental reforms to the energy sector involving the generation and transmission of electrical power. Tokyo Electric Company’s (TEPCO) ruinous reactors in Fukushima are the most visible legacy of these vested interests’ dominance of Japan’s energy policy. Key actors in this “nuclear village,” as it is now widely known, are TEPCO and the nine other monopolized regional utilities that divide the country into their respective fi efs. They cooperate closely with bureaucrats in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and elsewhere in the state, as well as with a broad swath of the political class. Management and labor in some of Japan’s blue-chip fi rms, including power-unit builders Toshiba, Hitachi and Mitsubishi, are part of the village. So too are a host of fi gures positioned at the uppermost ranks of media, academia and elsewhere. Collectively, they are a textbook case of the problem of concentrated benefi ts and dispersed costs. Their tightly focused rent-seeking drove Japan to bet heavily on nuclear power; and though the risks of this policy are now clear, they are determined to preserve as much of the status quo as they can while passing on its burgeoning costs.

      Andrew DeWit, Ito Peng, Joseph Wong

      Asia-Pacific Journal   3 2009

      More details

      Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

      <jats:p>This chapter by Ito Peng and Joseph Wong on East Asian Asian welfare regimes is very welcome, particularly as a guide for what to watch in our increasingly fluid era of financial, energy and other shocks to the developed and developing economies. The authors review the literature on East Asian welfare states and show how much of it has been concerned with highlighting essential differences between the region and a generalized model of what we see in North America, Europe, and Scandinavia. (We might add that generalizing among those latter cases also seems unwise). One of the critically distinctive features of the East Asian welfare state typology was and remains the rather restricted fiscal role of the state. As the authors point out, in 2005 Japan led East Asia with 18.6% of GDP devoted to social spending. But the average in the OECD and EU countries was, respectively, 20.5 and 27%. Taiwan and Hong Kong are even further removed from the OECD pattern. During the mid-2000s they were only spending about 10% of GDP on social outlays. And then there is Korea, China, and Singapore weighing in with less than 7% of GDP spent on social outlays. The issues are particularly fascinating in light of the literature on the developmental state, pioneered by the late Chalmers Johnson, which highlights each of these countries as examples of state intervention in charting economic development.</jats:p>

      Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

      <jats:p>Japan is stuck between lots of rocks and several hard places. It confronts the escalating costs of the world's most rapid pace of ageing with a low and declining birthrate and virtually no support for mass immigration. Moreover, the country faces these costs while severely handicapped by a public debt 1.5 times its GDP plus dramatic declines in the high rate of savings that has hitherto financed it. In addition to all this, the poorly performing economy is in its fourth year of deflation with little hope of producing a recovery in tax revenues. Indeed, deflation and minimal economic growth have eroded national income- tax revenues to their lowest level since the collapse of the bubble economy.</jats:p>

      Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

      <jats:p>Kaneko Masaru is one of Japan's best-known students of the country's crisis-ridden political economy and public finances. He is also a very prolific public intellectual. Over the past five years, he has authored or co-authored over 20 books, co-edited six, and written dozens of articles in the monthlies and the press. Kaneko writes in a country still dominated by the absurd notion that American institutions present a “global standard” to be matched lest Japan's decline become permanent. His controversial ideas on fiscal and financial reform are thus often sought out – often surreptitiously – by LDP and opposition party politicians and intra-party study groups. He is also a frequent speaker at academic and NGO forums and a high-profile commentator on policy-oriented television and radio programmes. In short, his eminently readable and cogent critiques of contemporary economic policies have earned him a broad professional and popular following. Indeed, his books are frequently displayed in their own sections in Tokyo bookstores.</jats:p>

      Decentralization appears to be on a roll in contemporary Japan. To be sure, the Japanese Left have long sought administrative and fiscal devolution in order to democratize the state and, of late. insist that local government is better able to address the needs of a diversifying society. Yet, amidst the protracted fiscal and financial crises following the collapse of the late 1980s "bubble economy," even most of the conservative establishment, the heirs of Japan's centralized developmentalist state, openly blame their heritage for the nation's enervation at century's end.

      東アジア・EU・北米において、再生可能エネルギーへの転換促進を目指した政策の政治経済を、歴史的制度論の観点から分析する。この3つの地域に導入される固定価格買取制度やRPS法、炭素取引制度等の形成を比較することで、現在著しい成長を見せているグリーン市場そのものが公的部門によって形作られている現状を明らかにする。公的部門と市場の適切な役割分担や、これまで取られてきた各国の市場形成の要因は、以前から政治経済学の研究対象とされてきた。また、異なる特色を持つ各国間の制度比較は、学術的な理論の展開と共に政策学習(ポリシー・ラーニング)が期待できる。
