December 31, 2012

Volume 10 | Issue 54 | Number 6

Article ID 4606

Between 2012 and 2014 we posted a number of articles on contemporary affairs without giving them volume and issue numbers or dates. Often the date can be determined from internal evidence in the article, but sometimes not. We have decided retrospectively to list all of them as Volume 10, Issue 54 with a date of 2012 with the understanding that all were published between 2012 and 2014.

 

フォーラム「沖縄はどこへ向かうのか?」12月19日 於 沖縄大学

The “Where is Okinawa Going?” forum will present and discuss Okinawan perspectives on the current situation surrounding the southernmost islands of Japan, amid the ongoing controversy over the “Futenma relocation” issue, from three viewpoints: 1) environment and biodiversity in the context of the Convention of Biological Diversity (COP10) in Nagoya; 2) Northeast Asian regional geopolitics in the wake of the Japan-China conflict over the ship collision near the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands; and 3) the Okinawa-Japan-US relationship and the issue of US military bases in light of the November 2010 Okinawa gubernatorial election.

 

Date and Time: December 19, 2010 (Sunday), 10AM – 5PM

Location: Okinawa University, Classroom 3-101,

◆開催趣旨

 

2010年、県内外の情勢が大きく変動するなか、この問いが新たな重要性と意義をもって、沖縄に投げかけられています。私たちはこの問いにどう答えるのでしょうか。そしてその答えを、日本、米国、アジア、そして世界へとどう伝えていけばいいのでしょうか。

 

 本フォーラムは、沖縄県知事選挙の結果や、エスカレートする「尖閣諸島」の「国家間/政治問題化」に焦点を当て、さらに名古屋で行われた第10回生物多様性条約締約国会議(COP10)の経験を踏まえ、「沖縄は、どこへ向かうのか」の問いに市民・住民の立場から答えていく試みです。

 

 

 知事選挙を通して示された沖縄の民意はどうなるのか。

「尖閣諸島問題」を住民や市民の経験や視点から捉えることはできるのか。

そしてCOP10への取り組みから見えてきた市民の可能性と課題とはなにか。
