- Who Willl Save Their Souls? : Transnational Cooperation for Peace and Reconciliation in Hokkaido
Chi, Naomi
Annals, Public Policy Studies, 19, 191, 197, 31 Mar. 2025
English, Research institution, During Japan’s wartime period, particularly from 1939 to 1945, many Koreans were forcibly brought to Hokkaido as labourers under Japan’s colonial rule of Korea (1910–1945). This was part of Japan’s broader mobilization policy to address labour shortages, especially in industries critical to the war effort. With its remote geography and harsh climate, became a significant site for Korean forced labour. Many were sent to work in coal mines (e.g., at Kushiro, Yubari, and Sorachi), construction projects (e.g., railways and tunnels) as well as in forestry and agriculture. In this short research note, the author aims to shed light on the transnational cooperation for peace and reconciliation in Hokkaido, vis-à-vis the excavation of human remains of the forced labourers from Korea who worked in Shumarinai, Hokkaido and the Sasa no Bohyo Exhibition to remember the Korean labourers who lost their life in Shumarinai. - ‘Lieu de Mémoire’ and Space for Peace : Prospects and Challenges to Museum Exhibition and Digital Archives in East Asia
CHI, Naomi
Annals, Public Policy Studies, 18, 117, 128, 北海道大学公共政策大学院, 31 Mar. 2024
English, Research institution, In East Asia, many of the museums and historical sites often portray its people as homogenous, and solely focus on its national history. However, in recent years, the creation of the Comfort Women’s digital exhibition and the proposal for the creation of the National Women’s History Museum in South Korea offers a “different” perspective on its people and history. Giving attention to the criticism by Beiner concerning the study of lieux d’oubli, this paper will attempt to explore the theme of museums as lieu de mémoire, while focusing on the new trends, particularly in Korea, on museum exhibitions of women. This paper will highlight the digital testimonies and archives of former Japanese military comfort women and the Women’s History Museum in South Korea. - Living in the Age of the Anthropocene: “Zero Carbon Hokkaido” and Local Initiatives for SDGs in Hokkaido, Japan

Endo Ken
This research project compared regional order, or ‘commons’ formation in East Asia and Europe, from historical, theoretical and current-policy viewpoints, aiming at academic outputs as well as wider social proposals.
While the COVID-19 crisis slowed our research at the final stage, we have produced numerous books, articles and oral presentations. Notably, the team members published an edited book on state sovereignty, a book and articles on nationalism, and several articles about historical reconciliations, all of which could be the basis and obstacles for regional commons formation. In order to smoothly construct it, one would need to manage the complex politics involving security, functional cooperation, and civic reconciliations. This research project could be seen building up the theoretical and policy foundations for the comprehensive regional order formation.
