Convenors: Professor Ian Neary (Oxford), Professor Chris Hughes (Warwick) and Dr Giulio Pugliese (Oxford and EUI)

The Japan Politics Colloquium is a regular event offering a space for researchers to share their ideas and benefit from discussion of their preliminary findings. It covers both domestic and international themes.

This year it will bring together colleagues from Sheffield, Warwick, INALCO (Paris) and Oxford. Papers at this year’s colloquium will include discussion of Japan’s defence industrial strategy focussing on fighter aircraft production, aspects of Japan’s relations with China, digitalisation policy, the politics of education reform, party discipline within the parliamentary system and Japan’s affirmative action policies.

Presentations will be kept brief to allow ample time for comments and discussion.

All are welcome.

A full list of the sessions, abstracts of each of the papers, and draft papers are available on request to ian.neary@nissan.ox.ac.uk
