Similar to Germany, Japan’s rural and semi-urban peripheries are confronted with numerous challenges: demographic shifts and depopulation, structural change due to globalization and technical development, climate change and the promotion of renewable energy sources. They all have particularly grave implications in the economically less prosperous, non-metropolitan regions. These socio-economic challenges have been receiving a high political priority since the former Abe administration, as evidenced by the various economic and political initiatives bundled under the slogan “regional revitalization”.
Since 2015, the German Institute for Japanese Studies (DIJ Tokyo) has studied numerous challenges confronted by Japan’s rural and semi-urban peripheries as well as government policies implemented to support local initiatives facing these challenges in the research cluster “The Future of Local Communities in Japan – Risks and Opportunities in the Face of Multiple Challenges”.
The conference “Local Self-organization and Civic Engagement in Regional Japan” will present the multidisciplinary projects conducted within the research cluster. They will be complemented with presentations by prominent Japanese scholars in the field.
The DIJ will continue to study these and related issues in the new research cluster Sustainability and resilience.
