Japan’s 19th-century entry into international society was sudden, dramatic, and fraught with danger, both domestic and international. Between 1853 and 1899 Japan reinvented itself as a modern sovereign state, shedding its historical isolation and long-standing patterns and practices of politics and governance.
Guest Lecture
Rieko Kage, Associate Professor of Political Science, Advanced Social and International Studies, University of Tokyo
Abstract
Over the last two decades, jury systems have been introduced in Japan, Korea, and, on a provisional basis, in Taiwan. Why might states with criminal trials that have been dominated by professional judges allow greater public input into their criminal proceedings -- indeed, undermining their own powers?
Presented by
Japanese Consul-General Yasunori Nakayama on Wednesday March 4, from 2:30 - 3:30 pm.
