Between Collective Security and “Old Diplomacy”: Japanese-French Relations during the Manchurian Crisis, 1931–1933

Speaker: Seung-young Kim

After establishing Manchukuo in March 1932, Japan made strenuous efforts to persuade France to conclude an alliance by revitalizing the French-Japanese entente of 1907. In particular, Japan wished to overcome its diplomatic isolation before the Lytton Report was discussed in the League of Nations during autumn 1932. To this effect, Japanese diplomats and military attaches suggested favorable investment conditions for the French companies in Manchukuo. However, France declined these offers to prioritize collective security, despite substantial sympathy toward Japan in the French Foreign Ministry over concerns to protect French imperial interests in China and Southeast Asia.

Drawing on records from both sides, this talk will show the aims, details, and process of Japanese diplomatic initiatives along with the French response. After briefly reviewing the initial division within the French Foreign Ministry over its response to the Mukden Incident, it will examine Japanese diplomatic maneuvers toward France from the spring of 1932, as well as the reasons why they were declined by the French cabinet led respectively by André Tardieu and Édouard Herriot.  The talk will also explore why the French government internally defined Japan’s military actions and assertive diplomacy as posing a “problem of aggression.” 

Seung-young Kim is a Professor of International History and Politics at Kansai Gaidai University. Before joining Kansai Gaidai in 2018, from 2003 he taught at the University of Sheffield and the University of Aberdeen. He has published widely on U.S.-East Asian relations in the twentieth century.  Since 2019, he has been working on a JSPS research project entitled “Japanese-French Diplomatic Relations from 1900 to 1933.” He was a visiting researcher at the University of Tokyo from 2008–2010 and worked as the UN correspondent for The Chosun Ilbo until 1995. His publications include “The Diplomacy of the Japanese-French Entente and Fukien Question, 1905–1907,” in International History Review (2019).

This lecture will be held on site (limited space: send us an email in advance) and via Zoom.

Résumé

The study discusses current situation and future challenges of diversity and inclusion in Japan. Diversity represents all the ways people are unlike and alike; differences and similarities in age, gender, race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, capabilities, and socioeconomic background. Gardenswartz and Rowe (2003) develop the concept of diversity and identify a ‘diversity wheel’. It includes dimensions that exist as internal, external and organizational layers around personality. Shore et al. (2011) define inclusion as the degree to which an employee perceives that he or she is an esteemed member of the work group through experiencing treatment that satisfies his or her needs for belongingness and uniqueness.

First, the study focuses on female researchers in Japan from the perspective of diversity and inclusion. The ratio of female researchers in Japan, at 16.9%, is the lowest among OECD countries and the ratio of female professors, at 17.8%, is also very low. Based on the analysis of the data obtained through the survey, the study discusses the reasons for the low ratio of female researchers and the low ratio of female researchers in leading positions in Japanese academia. It then considers what remedial action should be taken to improve the situation. The study suggests that academia should be able to introduce more creative perspectives, increase flexibility, and achieve inclusive growth leading to more sustainable development by promoting female researcher advancement from the perspective of diversity and inclusion.

Second, the study focuses on employment of people with disabilities in Japan from the perspective of diversity and inclusion. The number of people with disabilities in Japan is 9,635,000, which is 7.6% of the population. However, the number of people with disabilities in regular employment who are working in regular firms in Japan is only 597,786 in 2021, which means that their actual employment rate is 2.2 %. The number with physical disabilities in regular employment is 359,067.5, the number of with intellectual disabilities is 140,665 and the number with mental disabilities is 98,053.5. As such, only 47.0 % of regular firms in Japan attained the 2.3 % disabled employment quota required by law in 2021. Therefore, the employment challenges of the disabled are very severe, even though a quota system for the employment of people with disabilities exists in Japan.

Finally, current situation and future challenges of diversity and inclusion in Japan are examined and considered. To conclude, best practices of the collaboration among companies, university and government are suggested in order to actualize diversity and inclusion in Japan.

Dr. Shiho Futagami is a Professor at the Graduate School of International Social Sciences of Yokohama National University. She holds the degree of Doctor of Economics from Kyoto University. She is a Member of Science Council of Japan. She has been a visiting Professor at the University of Zurich, the International Labour Organization (ILO), Wissenschaftliche Hochschule für Unternehmensführung (WHU), Bordeaux École de Management (BEM) and the Kedge Business School. Her research topics include strategic human resource management, diversity management, disability management, career development and women in management. Prof. Dr. Futagami has had many books and articles published in Japan, the United States and Europe.

De-Christianizing Nagasaki: Temples and Shrines in the Early Edo period

Speaker: Carla Tronu

After the Tokugawa shogunate banned Christianity in Japan in 1614, several anti-Christian measures were implemented, but not in all domains, and not at the same time or speed. Substantial regional variations can be seen regarding when these actions began, as well as regarding their methods and development. In the process, the establishment (or re-establishment) of temples and shrines was an important move in areas where Christianization had involved iconoclasm. This was the case in the territories of the Omura and Arima daimyo, and especially in the self-governed city of Nagasaki.

This talk will focus on early measures concerned with religious institutions: specifically, the dismantlement of churches and the founding of temples and shrines. Previous scholarship on operations to eradicate the Christian presence in Nagasaki has thoroughly studied the many martyrs that lost their lives there, as well as the shifts in the anti-Christian legislation and the methods of persecution adopted. However, as will be argued, in the early Edo period (1614–1644), the support for new religious buildings and rituals by the shogunate and the local authorities also played a key role in the process of transforming Nagasaki from a “Christian city” into a “normal” Japanese Shinto-Buddhist town.

Carla Tronu is an Associate Professor at the Department of Foreign Languages, Kansai University of Foreign Studies. After she received her PhD in history at SOAS, University of London in 2012, she conducted postdoctoral research on missionary publications in Japan (kirishitan-ban) and the martyrs of Japan at Tenri University, Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture, and Kyoto University. She is currently the Principal Investigator of a project on lay confraternities and missionary rivalry in the early modern Japanese mission. She has published articles and book chapters in English, Japanese, and Spanish, and is currently preparing a monograph on the Christianization and de-Christianization of early modern Nagasaki.

This lecture will be held on site (limited space: send us an email in advance) and via Zoom.

The meeting link will remain posted on the ISEAS website or the EFEO blog from April 11.
