International Relations of Southeastern Europe in view of Lake Prespa : Review of the Tripoint Border Area and the 2018 Prespa Agreement
Get PDF1000010256026900041480471790003429038249000403428345On June 17, 2018, the Greek and Macedonian foreign ministers signed a landmark agreement settling the dispute over the official use of the terms “Macedonia” and “Macedonian”. Upon entry into force of this Agreement, the constitutional name “the Republic of North Macedonia” shall be used erga omnes, and Greece agreed not to object to the Republic of North Macedonia’s NATO and EU membership and accession. This agreement is widely known as the Prespa Agreement, named after Lake Prespa where the accord was signed.
Lake Prespa is shared by Greece, Albania and the Republic of North Macedonia. While it was acknowledged as “the Lake of Reconciliation” after the ceremonial signing, the Prespa Agreement has brought not only positive but also negative reactions in the following months and years. In positive responses, commentators have praised the Agreement as a successful example for resolving bilateral disputes and have expressed the hope that invisible liquid borders in and around Lake Prespa would be opened to promote the economic development of the area. However, there has been resistance to the Agreement, arising from competing understandings and visions of national identity.
The central research question of this paper is the historical and political anatomy of the 2018 Prespa Agreement. Following the introductory section, section II provides historical background for the reason why Lake Prespa was chosen as the signing place of the Agreement for resolving the decades-long dispute over the use of the name “Macedonia”. Section III outlines the diplomatic mediation process for the official name dispute, and discusses political problems with the Prespa Agreement that have been exposed during and after the ratification process in Greece and North Macedonia.本 稿 は、JSPS 科 研 費 基 盤 研 究（C）課題番号（18K11782）による研究活動の一部である。journal articl
Silas Marner, or the Opiate Novel : Linguistic Art as Pharmakon in Modern Capitalist Society
No full text9000414804715In George Eliot’s fairytale-like novel Silas Marner (1861), a baby with golden curly hair suddenly appears before Marner, a miser, when he gets depressed because his gold coins, which he has been saving for years, are stolen. Taking charge of the orphan, naming her Eppie after his mother, and living with her as her father, he finally awakens to the value of love, which money cannot buy. At first glance, it seems that in this novel, Eliot merely criticizes capitalism and asserts the superiority of love over monetary value. It should be noted, however, that one of the causes of death of Eppie’s biological mother, a working-class woman addicted to opium, is the neglect by her husband, a landowning-class man, who is Eppie’s biological father; and that in the ending of the story, he, with his vast wealth, financially supports Marner and Eppie. What this narrative development implies is that the happy ending, where love links with capital, is based on the exploitation of the working-class mother. In Silas Marner, Eliot shows that love, which literary genres often portray as supremely valuable, is in fact inseparable from the violence of exploitation and therefore ambivalent. In other words, love is like opium, a pharmakon, which is both a remedy and a poison.journal articl
Career Choices of Chinese International Students after Graduation : Exploring Their Decision-making Processes and Factors That Influence Them
Get PDF9000412005191Recently, international students finding jobs in Japan after graduation have slightly increased. However, most of the research about career choice is in the form of quantitative surveys, so it is difficult to grasp changes along the time axis and to see the factors that led to their career choices. In this study, eight international students from China who had studied at the same university and department in Japan at the same time participated in interviews aimed at elucidating their career choices. From these interviews, it was found that prospects of future life events; the influence of relatives, acquaintances, and friends; work experience such as part-time work or internships; and various incidental factors impacted job hunting and career choices. In addition, it was suggested that there are not only students who decide to return to their home countries while struggling to find a job, but also students who switch from working in Japan to returning to their home country, before job hunting begins. The research also found that they had difficulty gathering information about jobs after studying abroad for an extended period of time, etc. We hope that the results of the research will be utilized to support and educate international students.journal articl
