Japan-Canada Interdisciplinary Research Network
JCIRN WebsiteThe Japan-Canada Interdisciplinary Research Network aims to think though the complex challenges to contemporary democratic governance that have arisen due to the events of the triple disaster of March 11th, 2011 (hereafter, 311 ). The Network will primarily track and analyze the integration of gender and diversity concerns in women’s advocacy networks, but also the integration of those preoccupations into formal national discourses, laws and public policies being confirmed throughout the initial reconstruction period. The Network will evaluate a specific set of laws, policies, reconstruction strategies, public policy processes, and the context-specific politics (national and international) that have informed and continue to inform the priorities of the Japanese government. The goal is to twofold:
1) to identify the potentially excluded voices of Japanese citizenship to understand the pre- as well as post-311 governance challenges of ensuring inclusive decision-making throughout the risk-reduction and reconstruction process;
2) to identify the existing policy gaps and relevant policy exclusions so as to offer recommendations for more comprehensive legislative reforms that address the diverse needs of the population from here forwards.
