Abstract

Apart from their advanced technological innovation and development, Japan is also known for its support towards its disability community. However, Japan has a long and interesting history behind it as it initially, and to some degree in the present, did not appear that way. Filled with discrimination and even ostracization, Japan has gone a long distance to its present supportive treatment. By using the qualitative research method based on secondary data, the article aims to shed light to 4 issues. First, the article begins by laying out Japan’s background regarding their treatment towards the disability community. Here, it can be seen how in the past they were subjected to confinement and discrimination. Moving on, a discussion over the changes of treatment towards them by the government is provided. The changes can be attributed to the government’s rational move to uphold human security, strive towards a more inclusive society, and preparation towards huge events like the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. The way the government made such changes is through the securitization or speech act. Eventually, the changes materialised into many forms, from the supportive bills/laws all the way to infrastructure adjustments that would ease access for people with disabilities on the field. Finally, for the implications brought about by the changes, it can be seen in how the environment are more accessible for people with disability and how it can work as a public diplomacy attempt as apparent in the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. Keywords: Human Security, Inclusive Society, Japan, Disability.

Abstract

The issue of Israel and Palestine has been going on for almost 70 years, and there is still no sign of lasting reconciliation. However, since 1948, several countries have taken part in the peace process between the two countries. Apart from state actors, non-state actors also contribute to Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation, one of which is the institution of the Catholic Church, the Holy See. With its unique status, the Holy See has a slightly different style of diplomacy. This difference can be seen in the presence of dual status, where the Holy See is both a state and a world religious institution. With the presence of this double-status, the Holy See has a wider diplomatic space than state actors, especially in conducting diplomacy related to the peacebuilding process. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the Holy See's diplomatic efforts in Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation. This research uses a qualitative approach by utilizing data sources from the internet and official documents. It finds that The Holy See plays a very important role in peace process in the Holy Land through religious institutions. It plays roles not only in bridging political friction between Israel and Palestine through normalizing relations, but also in undertaking humanitarian cases through social assistance.
