“…One of the region's most common historical legacies is that of the Chinese empire to which smaller states give homage (Katzenstein & Shiraishi, 1997). Another less politically correct tradition is that of the so-called 'Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere' of militaristic Japan during World War II (Anderson, 1965;Silverstein, Anderson, Guyot, & Steinberg, 1966;Koschmann, 1997;Katzenstein & Shiraishi, 1997). This left behind a network of elites that continued to serve many dictators after the war through close relations with Japan (especially in South Korea under Park and Myanmar under the Generals).…”

<p><strong>Ample research has been conducted to establish a more comprehensive understanding of how global news outlets such as Al Jazeera English (AJE), British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and Cable News Network (CNN) frame global events. These studies have often explored politically charged events like war, terrorism, or international conflicts, with the revelation that national interests often influence coverage. This literature, however, does not attempt to explain how these outlets frame global events that aren’t politically charged (which should presumably eliminate national bias). Emerging research seeking to better understand the framing of global news to eliminate national bias has identified 'othering' to be the determining factor of news coverage where CNN and BBC preserve colonial ideologies to favour the global North, while AJE counters Western media narratives to favour the global South. These studies are however limited in scope and as a result, the framing is often found to be rooted in colonial narratives. These rising criticisms of global news outlets framing events to preserve the dominant ideologies of their respective societies have raised the need to look beyond geographic localisation and 'othering' to identify if global media frame their stories only to cater to their favoured community. Imagined Communities might act as an alternative method to explore such non-geographical audiences.</strong></p>

This article seeks to understand why the uptake of “third generation” enduring powers in Japan has been disappointing from the perspective of reformers who introduced the powers in 2000. In addition to questions about optimum design of this particular legal instrument, it is an opportunity to explore deeper questions about regulation and the role of law and the market in ageing, post-industrial societies such as Japan. First, the article explains the form that enduring powers take in Japan. Second, it presents statistics on the uptake of enduring powers. Third, the article presents possible reasons for this low uptake, including unsuitable social norms, a lack of awareness, excessive regulation, unresponsive doctrine, and entrenched judicial values. Finally, the article concludes that while these reasons all have explanatory value and are not easily disaggregated, comparative analysis presents some promising developments in Japan such as the growth in candidates to take on enduring powers who are regulated and organised through legal professions, civil society, local government, and the court system. At a deeper level, the article concludes that the fate of enduring powers turns not only on regulatory and doctrinal levers but also on the relative strengths within Japan’s continuing legal development of divergent views on the imposition of formal legal norms and market mechanisms upon relationships previously regulated by informal social norms or administrative decree.
