- Summary:
- Is Japan prepared for an ethnically diverse society? The volume examines the past and future trajectory of Japan’s immigration and integration policies and related institutions, taking a cross-disciplinary approach in social sciences. The authors highlight critical issues and challenges that the nation is facing as a result of the government’s inarticulate migrant-acceptance policy, e.g. in the fields of deportation, refugee policy, multicultural education and disaster protection. How can the situation be improved? The book investigates the changes and initiatives needed to build a resilient policy regime for a liberal, pluralistic, and inclusive Japan. Ist Japan auf eine multikulturelle Gesellschaft vorbereitet? Der Band untersucht die Entwicklung der japanischen Einwanderungs- und Integrationspolitik sowie der damit verbundenen Institutionen und verfolgt dabei einen disziplinübergreifenden sozialwissenschaftlichen Ansatz. Die Autor*innen beleuchten kritische Fragen und Herausforderungen, mit denen das Land aufgrund der unartikulierten Politik der der Akzeptanz von Migration seitens der Regierung konfrontiert ist, z. B. in den Bereichen Flüchtlingspolitik, multikulturelle Bildung und Katastrophenschutz. Wie kann die Situation verbessert werden? Das Buch untersucht Veränderungen und Initiativen, die notwendig sind, um ein widerstandsfähiges politisches System für ein liberales, pluralistisches und integratives Japan zu schaffen.
