Governance Change in Okinawa : Regional Autonomy and Globalization

冷战结束后，所谓的“全球化”成为代表国际关系和世界状况的词汇。全球化蕴含着全球多样性。我们想把重点放在经济相互依存促进的区域化和区域一体化上，因为今天的区域化是一个与全球化密切相关的现象。另一方面，全球化和国际区域化对国家治理和次国家狂欢产生了强烈的影响：每个民族国家内部的区域治理。民主化、分权化和去监管化正在发生政府体系，现在“治理”一词成为描述当前工业化国家主导政治制度的词汇。研究重点是东亚相互依存下的国家和地区治理的变化，以及变化对国家治理、东亚地区治理和全球化的影响。以美国为主导的经济和军事全球化是90年代的大趋势。S计划在冲绳举行八国集团峰会，以将冲绳确定为这一趋势的重点。相反，以反美为首的全球主义也变得全球化。冲绳的公民社会也变得全球化。一个全球性的公民社会正在崛起。必须在这种全球背景下分析冲绳政治。冲绳治理的变化必须重塑，更多的是冲绳人民。换句话说，发展更民主的治理是不可避免的。

After the end of the cold war, so-called "globalization" became the term presents the state of the international relations and the world. Globalization implies global diversity.We would like to focus on the regionalization and regional integration facilitated by economic interdependence, because today's regionalization is a phenomenon which profoundly related to the globalization.On The other hand, globalization and international regionalization made a strong impact on the national governance and sub-national revel : regional governance within each nation-state. Democratization, decentralization and deregulation are taking place the government systems and now the term "'Governance" became the word for describing currently dominant political systems in the industrialized countries.The research focus on the changes of the national and regional governance under interdependence in East Asia, and also focus on the impact of changes on the national governance, and on the East Asian regional governance and Globalization.Economic and military globalization dominated by America was the big trend in the 90's. The G8 Summit was planned to be held in Okinawa in order to define Okinawa as a keystone of this trend. On the contrary, Anti-American-led-globalism also became globalized. Okinawan civil society became globalized too. A global civil society is rising. Okinawan politics have to be analyzed in this global context. And changes of governance of Okinawa have to be reshaped, more by the Okinawan people. In other words, development of more democratic governance is inevitable.
