At the end of the Second World War, Japanese cities were destroyed, a significant number of its population were killed or displaced, and its industrial capacity gutted. Yet, like a phoenix, 1945 also saw the start ( second time around) of Japan's rise to economic freedom. How did Japan make this dramatic economic change and what did it take? In this conversation, Marie-Noelle sits with Prof Kenichi Ohno of the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, Tokyo, to understand how this all happened.

In this episode of the National Security Podcast, we bring you the first of a special three-part series looking at key trends influencing the future strategic landscape of the Indo-Pacific. This episode unpacks two competing trends that are shaping the regional order: the rise of grey zone and hybrid threats, and the emergence of ‘minilateralism'.Grey zone and hybrid threats have been rising in prominence as tools used by authoritarian states as they attempt to reshape the regional order. But what are they, who are they being used against, and how they are likely to evolve in coming years? And with minilateralism emerging as a preferred format for states to meet the challenges of great power competition, how might diplomacy evolve to match the shifting security landscape of the coming decade? In this episode of the National Security Podcast, we ask how these trends intersect and whether minilateralism is an effective tool to deal with grey zone and hybrid threats.Professor Sascha Bachmann is a Professor in Law at Canberra Law School and co-convener of the National Security Hub at the University of Canberra.

While it is true that Indonesian maids abroad often face terrible conditions, they have more agency than the public often give them credit for, and many also have creative pursuits like fiction writing. Recently, a new genre of literature has developed, one in which – often in short stories – these women reimagine their experiences as domestic workers in foreign lands. What do these literary works reveal about their lives abroad and the challenges they face? To discuss the agency and creativity of Indonesian foreign domestic workers, Dr Charlotte Setijadi chats with Dr Jafar Suryomenggolo who is an Assistant Professor at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) in Tokyo, Japan. He is also the editor of an upcoming collection of 23 short stories written by Indonesian female foreign domestic workers titled ‘At a Moment’s Notice: Indonesian Maids Write on Their Lives Abroad’ published by NIAS Press.
Trade deficits are considered bad news for economies, and for an economy the size of the United States, a deficit of $745 billion in 2015, the largest seen in decades, would be cause for alarm. But the true picture is more complex. Looking beyond traditional statistics shows how burgeoning global value chains are now driving changes in the manufacturing of, trade in, and value of goods. Multinational corporations that have successfully leveraged global value chains have pivoted away from manufacturing and now concentrate more fully on marketing, design, and innovation. Apple, Nike, Reebok, the Limited, and the Gap are major players in consumer electronics, athletic footwear, and fashion-oriented apparel, but own not a single production facility in the United States. With the exception of Apple, none of them owns production facilities anywhere in the world. Official statistics have yet to catch up with new trade realities emerging from global value chains. Although the gross profit margins of the Apple iPhone exceed 60 percent and that of Nike products is more than 45 percent, this value is not shown in US export metrics.
