1) The document discusses the historical development of Japan's international relations from the late 19th century onward under different world orders.
2) Japan shifted from being a subordinate tributary under China's world order to an isolationist power, then a colonial power and imperialist military power aligned with the UK.
3) After World War 2, Japan aligned with the US during the Cold War and pursued economic growth, and now engages in bilateral, regional, and multilateral relations as a major independent power.
Bmc hist unit 2.2_rise of japanese_militaristsAdrian Peeris
Just as in Europe, Fascism began to spread its influence in the Asia Pacific region. With a foothold in Japan in the late 20s and 30s - Japan's militarists were able to slowly gain political power in a political system that was losing support due to mishandling of economic and social policies. The new politicians from the far Right had all the solutions as they planned the take over of the political system. Their ultimate goal - to see an Imperial Japan with an Empire that would match those of the Western powers. This lecture dwells into how this group of "ultras" slowly gained influence and power.

World Order by Henry Kissinger_M.Mujeeb Riaz
In World Order, Kissinger says "World Order refers to the concept held by a region or civilization about the nature of just arrangements and the distribution of power thought to be applicable to the entire world." In the book, he explains how Western ideas changed with the 1648 Peace of Westphalia treaty, unreliable source? and explains the four systems of historic world order: the Westphalian Peace born of 17th-century Europe, the central imperium philosophy of China, the religious supremacism of political Islam, and the democratic idealism of the United States. Kissinger aims to provide a window into today's struggling framework of international order.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Last Week: Significance of Japan’s
International Relations
• Metaphors help shape our view of Japan in the
World
• Japan matters in politics, economics and security,
regional and global levels
• Japan is significant actor, especially in relationship
with the US and East Asia
2. Unit 2
Pattern of Japan’s
International Relations:
Historical Development
Professor Glenn Hook
3. Aim
• To discuss the historical development of
Japan’s international relations from the
Chinese world order to the post-Cold
War world
4. Objectives
1) to identify empirically the pattern of Japan’s international
relations from the late nineteenth century onwards;
2) to discuss why Japan has adopted the specific pattern of
international relations identified;
3) to illustrate the constraints as well as opportunities for
Japan as a late-comer to the Western-dominated
international system.
6. Historical Overview
• Japan as a tributary of China under the T’ang
dynasty, AD 618-906 (Chinese world order)
• Sakoku-jidai Tokugawa era (1600-1868)
• Rising industrial power - victory in Russo-
Japanese War, 1904-5 (Imperial world order)
• Militarism and colonialism (World War II)
• Anti-militarism and bilateralism post-1945
(Cold War order)
• Normalization, multilateralism
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjPsRaqZIN8
7. Patterns of Japan’s international
relations: Chinese world order;
• Japan as a subordinate tributary power
• Japan as an isolationist rival state
• Japan as a colonial power
8.
9. Imperial world order
• Advance of imperial power into East Asia
• Acquisition of economic and military power
during the Meiji era
• Datsua nyūō (abandonment of Asia joining
with Europe) – Anglo-Japanese Alliance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoW2WYdOsvg
11. Cold War order
• Alignment with the United States
• Restive relations with communist powers
• Separation of economics and politics
(Yoshida doctrine, seikei bunri)
13. Post-Cold War period
• Bilateral, regional and global hedging
• Continued prioritization of bilateralism
• Growing independence and proactivity?
14. The ‘Ron-Yasu’ US-Japan special relationship was emulated by Bush and Koizumi
Ronald Reagan and Yasuhiro Nakasone - Junichirō Koizumi and George W. Bush Jr.
15. Historical patterns of Japan’s
international relations (summary)
• Dependence upon/gravitation towards major
power or hegemon of the day (China, UK, US)
• Rational international strategy: unilateral
hegemony, East Asian region-building,
trilateral and multilateral cooperation
• Reactive and proactive moves
16. Methodology: Why has Japan
adopted the specific pattern of
international relations identified?
• Structural constraints of the international
system of the time.
• Agency of powerful leaders and policy makers
• Strategies guided by a range of domestic and
international norms
17. Japan as a late-comer to the Western
dominated international system
• Constraints:
Unequal treatment by Western powers, rejection of
Japanese proposal at League of Nations, tied to US during
Cold War (constraining ties with communist states)
• Opportunities:
Learned from Western starter states how to modernize,
chance to challenge established powers by forming an
alliance with Nazi Germany, used periods of increased
multipolarity to forge relations with communist states
19. Conclusion
• Japan’s international relations charted in
relation to rise and fall of great powers
• Challenger, but ultimately sought support of
major power of the day (China, UK, US)
• Within the bounds of constraints and
opportunities dictated by the international
system, Japan instrumentalised its foreign
relations to catch up with the West.
