H-ASIA March 22, 2011 New online content at The Asia-Pacific Journal (formerly Japan Focus) ************************************************************************ From: "The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus" <info@japanfocus.org> Newsletter No. 12. 2011, March 21, 2011 New Articles Posted In This Issue Matthew Penney, Reports from Tohoku: Assessing Death, Dislocation, and Flight of the Victims The APJ Editors, TEPCO, Credibility, and the Japanese Crisis Gavan McCormack, Japan's Nuclear Crisis: A Wakeup Call for the World David McNeill, After the Quake: The Town That Was Washed Away John McGlynn, Japan's Nuclear Crisis: Status of Spent Fuel at Exploded Reactor Buildings Unclear David Adam Stott, Indonesian Colonisation, Resource Plunder and West Papuan Grievances Simon Cotterill, Ainu Success: the Political and Cultural Achievements and Challenges of Japan's Indigenous Minority The earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan's Northeast coast on March 11 poses what may prove to be the most severe challenge to the Japanese state and its development agenda since the collapse of the 1980s bubble and, some would say, since defeat in World War II. This week we pay tribute to the efforts of the Japanese people to cope with disasters that may be understood as nature's revenge, but that also call into question the fundamental developmental agenda of the Japanese state, and the legitimacy of its rule. We feature five stories from inside the maelstrom of earthquake/tsunami and partial meltdown, and that interrogate Japanese government and corporate (TEPCO) leadership and decisions.
