Policy Forum 07-038: Yokohama and Seoul: Dealing With Crimes of State in Japan and South Korea
Gavan McCormack, a coordinator at Japan Focus and author of the book Client State: Japan in the American Embrace, writes, “The maturity and the humanity of states and societies, as in the case of individuals, may be measured by the way they face the darkest moments of their own history. The contrast between recent judgments in courts in South Korea and Japan points to a gulf in terms of civic maturity, with South Korea apparently showing the way to Japan.”

Open Minds, Open Futures: How will Asia-Pacific Communities respond to Global Insecurity?
The Global Scenarios Workshop was convened by the Nautilus Institute at RMIT and Australia 21. This report from the workshop summarizes the narratives of the four scenarios developed at the workshop and uses these conceptions of the future to draw conclusions about threat perception, insecurity, and resiliency in the face of critical uncertainty. The report concludes that NGOs, civil society groups, and corporations all have an important role to play in issues of global problem solving and that “security is not an issue that can be left to governments alone.”
