Abstract of the Lecture:
To what extent will the Abe Regime maintain or abandon Koizumi’s policies, is worthy of attention. Another crucial problem is how the Abe Regime will make its strategic arrangements in Asian diplomatic issues. Nowadays, the domestic situation in Japan is very similar to what happened in the 1930s, which means the militarization. Where is Japan heading for? The lecture will reflect this issue.
