Over the last 20 years, the dominant perception of Japan was
that of an economic giant suffering from the “4D” -- demography,
debt, deflation, and dysfunctional leadership. The focus of
governments, businesses, and the media shifted from Japan
to China and India.
The triple disaster on March 11 pushed Japan back to the
center of the world stage. In particular the Fukushima catastrophe
captured continuous front-page coverage for weeks, often in
a sensationalist manner and thus exacerbating the panic among
foreigners.
Three months after the quake, the seminar discusses two main
questions:
First, what explains the deep gap between the level-headed
reaction of the Japanese and the panic of many foreigners?
Culture, values or other reasons?
Second, is the dramatically increased global awareness a blessing
or a curse?
How can Japan translate it into a competitive advantage, overcoming
the image of stagnation?
The seminar will explore these issues in the form of a short
presentation, group work and discussion.
