Nationalism and populism have been on the rise around the world, with the two trends often coinciding and reinforcing one another. Japan seems to be an exception to this trend: while nationalism seem to be on the rise, Japan has not experienced a rise of populism as we see in other Western countries. Is this observation correct? If so, why is Japan different? Or, is a rise of populism likely in Japan in the coming years? This event will bring together experts from different disciplines as well as leading scholars from Japan.
