Relations between the EU and East Asia have consistently expanded in recent years, particularly between the EU and Japan. Against the background of negotiations on an economic and strategic partnership agreement, the EU-Japan relationship is set to become the single most comprehensive 'region-to-state'relationship the world has known today, accounting for more than a third of world GDP and a combined population of more than 600 million people. This book addresses the potential role of the EU, in cooperation with Japan, to craft a stable and prosperous mode of governance in the Asian region. In today's globalized world seemingly defined by waxing Chinese power and waning American power, the book reflects the lack of appreciation for an EU-Japan concert in maintaining and developing multilateral principles. It aims towards fortifying this relationship by acknowledging that in order to enhance the credibility and capabilities of such an alliance, it is necessary to take stock of where the partnership stands today, what kind of obstacles still need to be overcome and which options have been left untouched. By introducing state-of-the-art empirical research in multiple fields, this book will be of key interest to students and scholars of international relations, comparative regionalism, the European Union and Japanese politics.

Since several decades ago 'aging' has been appearing more frequently as a discussion topic in Japan. At present, the phenomenon has spread itself worldwide. The country, that has the 'privilege' of being named as 'forerunner of the ageing society' is surprisingly enough Japan. The ageing process in Japan has developed at a rather quick pace, therefore placing Japan in the top three 'countries with oldest population' (an average of 84 years) and as number one in largest percentage of elderly (25.1%).The Japanese government has already taken some measures to approach the phenomenon. However, because of a lack of 'performance', the policy hasn't given many efficient results to Japanese society.

This paper is about the relations between Japan and North-Korea. Specifically about the reasons for Japan to pursue relations with North-Korea. North-Korea does not seem like a logical partner because of the nuclear threat it poses and the provocations it causes. For Japan however this threat and other reasons is exactly why it pursues these relations. To explain these reasons correctly and give a thorough background the first part of this paper will discuss the logic of the Pjongjang regime. Why does it act the way it does? How come the North-Korean people do not revolt against this repressive regime? This and more will be explained.Part two will give the international background for the relations between Japan and North-Korea. It will look at the reasons behind the Japanese foreign policy and why relations up until now have not been normasiled despite efforts on both sides.The last part will look at the national reasons inside Japan. Both in the political sphere and the civil society there are individuals, parties and organisations that work towards normalising relations with North-Korea; Who are they and what are their reasons? The conclusions shows that reasons are dependent on the time period, the international situation and national situation. The most important reason in the past was to normalise relations because it is normal to have relations with a neighbour. Nowadays the reason is for security: through engagement Japan hopes to get a handle on the North-Korean threat. Another reason is that if the Korean Peninsula someday will be reunited, Japan wil already have influence there if it normalises remations now.
