9. Managing Borders and Migrants through Citizenship : A Japanese Case

Author

Tarumoto, Hideki

Abstract

In the present era of globalisation, border studies take centre stage in social and historical studies. However, they have not yet matured enough in order to approach issues related to globalisation. In particular, with taking up territorial borders as objects, they rarely focus on the social borders created by human movements across territorial borders within the nation-state. How can we transform border studies into social border studies? This article argues two things. First, the Hammar-Koido-Tarumoto Model (the HKT Model) can clarify types of social borders within the nation-state. Second, it is necessary to develop a theoretical hypothesis. For example, in cases of undocumented immigrants and temporary stayers, the closing border hypothesis under the recent recession, triggered by the subprime loan crisis in the United States, helps to consider the diversity of the state's management of the social border. Through these research strategies, border studies can incorporate social border studies which deal with issues related to globalisation.

Abstract

While some countries take relatively generous attitudes towards immigrants, other countries retain illiberal stances towards them. Why can the latter retain their first strict immigration policies? What mechanism would guide the countries towards more liberal attitudes? This article addresses these questions, with focusing on refugee policy in Japan. Japan has kept its strict and illiberal policy on accepting refugees. In 2016, she recognised only 26 cases as refugees among 10,901 asylum applications. Why can Japan retain its strict and illiberal refugee policy? Firstly, due to the sudden dissolution of the empire after World War II, the mono-ethnic understanding of nationhood and citizenship has remained in Japan. Then, in the institutional aspect, the Ministry of Justice retains its power in charge of immigration and refugee policies. Although there is a sign that international pressure makes the illiberal refugee policy a bit lax, like recently having an increasing number of asylum applicants from various countries and accepting Syrians as students not as refugees, no decisive factor is found to guide Japan towards more generous stance to accept refugees.

Abstract

Globalisation propels all states to elaborate legal frameworks of controlling migration. But there are some diverse paths of developing the frameworks. States are not free from any other actors influencing the frameworks such as markets, NGO/NPOs and international regimes. In some countries such as Britain, the parliament is the most dominant field to create legal setting of migration, whereas in another countries such as the United States, client politics based on forces of business and immigrant groups plays a major role of set-up of the frameworks. An Asian country, Japan, demonstrates the third way of legal control of migration. Without strong parliament nor business and immigrant groups, Japan has created a relatively strong legal framework to control immigrants based on so-called singular bureaucratic sovereignty led by the Ministry of Justice. But, such Japanese highly-selective framework of migration is gradually changing due to huge labour demands and fear of rapid depopulation. Through the framework, Japan legally constructs preferred immigrants such as IT workers and Nikkeijin and unwanted but necessary ones such as unskilled and undocumented workers. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
