  • Research on conflict resolution deals with themes such as politics, security, and economic recovery, but there has been no in-depth analysis of culture. Therefore, I have investigated cultural activities that lead to post-conflict peacebuilding and attempted to analyze their role. In this column, I will introduce examples where sports and cultural and artistic activities have played an important role in peacebuilding, and consider how they function in the peacebuilding process.

  • Where is the EU heading? - Will the day come when Greece and the UK leave the EU?
  • Professor Tatsuhiro Nakagawa
  • Last year, attention was focused on whether Greece would leave the EU following its default on its debt, but this year, the issue of Britain's departure from the EU has now arisen. Attention is now focused on the future of the EU. This column will shed light on the current situation in Greece through the country's modern history, and also explain the background to why Britain is trying to leave the EU. It will also look at what impact the issues of Greece and Britain's departure from the EU have had on the EU, and consider the future shape of the EU based on new developments within the EU.

  • Freedom of Expression in France
  • Professor Kouichirou Hamano
  • The attack on the offices of the French weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo took place on January 7, 2015. The demonstration that took place on the 11th, four days after the incident, was meant to commemorate the victims of the incident, but also expressed a strong determination to defend freedom of expression at all costs. Now that a year has passed since the incident, we will return to this series of events and reconsider the historical background of "freedom of expression" in France and the issues it faces in modern France.
