Japan's Household Registration System and Citizenship Koseki, Identification and Documentation

Japan's Household Registration System and Citizenship Koseki, Identification and Documentation
Japan's Household Registration System and Citizenship: Koseki, Identification and Documentation By David Chapman (editor), Karl Jakob Krogness (editor)
2014 | 278 Pages | ISBN: 0415705444 | PDF | 5 MB
Japan's Household Registration System (koseki seido) is an extremely powerful state instrument, and is socially entrenched with a long history of population governance, social control and the maintenance of social order. It provides identity whilst at the same time imposing identity upon everyone registered, and in turn, the state receives validity and legitimacy from the registration of its inhabitants. The study of the procedures and mechanisms for identifying and documenting people provides an important window into understanding statecraft, and by examining the koseki system, this book provides a keen insight into social and political change in Japan. By looking through the lens of the koseki system, the book takes both an historical as well as a contemporary approach to understanding Japanese society. In doing so, it develops our understanding of contemporary Japan within the historical context of population management and social control; reveals the social effects and influence of the koseki system throughout its history; and presents new insights into citizenship, nationality and identity. Furthermore, this book develops our knowledge of state functions and indeed the nation state itself, through engaging critically with important issues relating to the koseki while at the same time providing a platform for further investigation. The contributors to this volume utilise a variety of disciplinary areas including history, gender studies, sociology, law and anthropology, and each chapter provides insights that bring us closer to a comprehensive grasp of the role, effects and historical background of what is a crucial and influential instrument of the Japanese state. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese history, Japanese culture and society, Japanese studies, Asian social policy and demography more generally.

Islam, Society and States across the Qazaq Steppe (15th - early 20th Centuries) By Nicccolò Pianciola (editor)
2013 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 3700173369 | PDF | 2 MB
Dieser Band verfolgt neue Forschungszugange zur Sozialgeschichte des inneren Eurasien von der fruhen Neuzeit bis zum Beginn der sowjetischen Periode. Die Beitrage beschaftigen sich mit der von kasachischen Gemeinschaften bewohnten Region, in deren Zentrum die Steppen des heutigen Kasachstan sowie Gebiete liegen, die heute zu Xinjiang, Sibirien, Turkmenistan und Usbekistan gehoren. Die einzelnen Artikel beleuchten transnationale Formen imperialer Regierung, Netzwerke islamischer Gelehrsamkeit und die politischen Strategien lokaler Eliten, von denen die soziale und kulturelle Geschichte eines grossen Gebiets im Herzen Eurasiens geformt wurde. Der Band versucht auf diese Weise, die sozialen und religiosen Raume der Kasachen mit dem historischen Kontext der verschiedenen Staaten, die um die Herrschaft uber das innere Eurasien konkurrierten, und mit der islamischen Welt insgesamt in Verbindung zu setzen.

International Organizations and Small States Participation, Legitimacy and Vulnerability

International Organizations and Small States Participation, Legitimacy and Vulnerability
Jack Corbett, "International Organizations and Small States: Participation, Legitimacy and Vulnerability"
English | ISBN: 1529207681 | 2021 | 248 pages | PDF | 2 MB
International Organizations (IOs) are vital institutions in world politics in which cross-border issues can be discussed and global problems managed. This path-breaking book shows the efforts that small states have made to participate more fully in IO activities. It draws attention to the challenges created by widened participation in IOs and develops an original model of the dilemmas that both IOs and small states face as the norms of sovereign equality and the right to develop coincide. Drawing on extensive qualitative data, including more than 80 interviews conducted for this book, the authors find that the strategies which both IOs and small states adopt to balance their respective dilemmas can explain both continuity and change in their interactions with institutions ranging from UN agencies to the World Trade Organization.

English | 2005 | ISBN: 0595372562, 0595674771 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 7.6 mb
In 1954, Ruth Vincent was a young teacher and Alaska was not yet a state when her biologist husband, Bob, decided to conduct research on rugged, isolated Afognak Island. As they left Oregon for the unknown, both Ruth and Bob eagerly anticipated their pioneer adventure. Hours later, the two stood on the remote island with nothing but a shortwave radio and bush pilots as their connections to the outside world. Dressed in heels, Ruth reveals how she was ushered into her tiny new home that had looked so tidy from the air, but in reality was filled with junk. While learning to live within primitive conditions, Ruth shares how, amid stunning Alaskan scenery and idyllic peacefulness, she faced Kodiak brown bears, confronted loneliness, and welcomed critters as pets. As months turned into years, Ruth made do by brushing her teeth in the river, enhancing her meals with puffin eggs, and looking forward to mail deliveries by bush pilots. Through it all, Ruth provides insight into the importance of having a positive attitude as she and Bob learned to trust each other and their faith to find creative solutions to all their challenges. In the Wake of the Frontier vividly portrays one couple's threeyear adventure on an Alaskan island during the 1950s as they unearthed valuable lessons and made incredible memories.
