Life Desired by Hill People Living in Settled Villages in a National Park: Case Study of S'gaw Karen People Living in Kaeng Krachan National Park in Western Thailand
Get PDFThe forests of the Kaeng Krachan area in western Thailand have been inhabited by the S’gaw Karen, a hill people. The S’gaw Karen are a group of hill peoples whose traditional livelihood is swidden agriculture, but the
Thai Government’s conservation policy including the establishment of Kaeng Krachan National Park has imposed strong restrictions on their livelihoods based on the forest and swidden agriculture. Today many of them live in two villages established by the Government in the national park. Based mainly on information obtained from interviews with S’gaw Karen people living in these villages in Kaeng Krachan National Park, this paper examines how life in the past, which was based on swidden agriculture in the forest, and life today in the villages, which are governmentestablished settlement spaces, are different from each other. The study also examines whether the former swidden agriculture of the S’gaw Karen was environmentally destructive in the way the Thai Government and many urban people still consider them to be. In conclusion, it is pointed out that the former swidden agriculture had the environmentally harmonious aspects and although the opinion of the S’gaw Karen people is sharply divided between the two livelihoods, most of them agree that swidden agriculture is still considered necessary
U.S. Arms Sales to Israel Begin: Policy Shifts by the Johnson Administration and Their Causes, 1963~1965
Get PDFIsrael, which was founded in 1948 and surrounded by hostile nations, imported weapons, mainly from Western Europe, for its security needs. In the early Cold War period, the United States aimed to contain the expansion of Soviet influence in the Middle East and applied an even-handed approach to foreign policy with Israel and Arab nations.
This approach, however, shifted during the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson. This paper focuses on policy changes of the Johnson Administration, during which the United States exported state of the art weapons to Israel and became its main supplier of weapons.
Evidence suggests that arms sales to Israel did not bring the peaceful stability to the Middle East. What factors motivated the shift in American policy toward Israel? This article addresses questions about the negotiations of arms sales between the United States and Israel. It looks into why the Johnson Administration, after tough and drawn-out negotiations, acquiesced to Israel’s demands for weapons even though doing so was inconsistent with
American interests in the Middle East

Bon-Odori and Revitalization of Local Community: History of Bon-Odori and Community Development Policy in Hiroshima City
Get PDFThis paper examines the history and function of Bon-Odori (Bon Dance) in establishing social networks in local communities while considering recent issues pertaining to weakened human relationships. Bon-Odori is one
of Japan’s traditional folk cultures and well-known summer events that is still observed throughout the country. Bon-Odori is viewed as an opportunity to strengthen bonds between people in local communities, as it has long
been organized by local groups and people. Although Bon-Odori has a long history, many relatively new Bon dances may have been influenced by local-community development policies since the 1970s. However, the role of
Bon-Odori in community development has been overlooked. Therefore, we examine the history, management, and function of Bon-Odori via literature review and interviews, with emphasis on Hiroshima City, and discuss ideas for re-establishing human connections within the local community
