    Abstract: Counting (on) Women: DPJ and Gender Quota In the Japanese Parliament, women are dramatically underrepresented. In more than a hundred countries this democratic deficit is addressed through the introduction of gender quotas. In most cases these equality guarantees have proven to be effective in securing equal access to political mandates for both sexes. In Japan, however, this so-called Positive Discrimination approach is considered far more cautiously due to the liberal democratic framework within which Japanese politics is embedded. Nevertheless, in late 2014, the Democratic Party of Japan declared its intention to introduce a party-level quota system, raising several questions: What are the true motives behind this unexpectedly progressive step? And what does this mean for the prospect of actual realization? Using the analysis framework of Mona Lena Krook, this study differentiates between principled stands and strategic incentives structuring the DPJ’s decision. It shows that, although the DPJ does indeed hold strong principled stands, encouraging it in general to secure equal opportunities for both sexes, this motive alone is not strong enough to push the DPJ to the final stage of implementation. The most potent but strategic incentive to do so seems to be the fear of losing its Issue Ownership in this policy field to the Liberal Democratic Party.

    Abstract: Japanese Atomic Bomb Victims: An Analysis of Discrimination Experiences This year will mark the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6th 1945 and August 9th 1945 respectively. The atomic bomb victims have faced severe discrimination throughout their lives, not only from Japanese society, but from the Japanese government as well. This article will provide a general overview of the different forms of discrimination experienced by the atomic bomb victims, using short samples of their life stories that were obtained during personal interviews. Additionally, short excerpts of interviews with people from Fukushima Prefecture will be used to show the recurrence of discrimination against people affected by radioactive radiation, seventy years later. Finally, a short analysis of the results will be presented.
