Engaging Society in Innovation and Creativity
Perspectives from Social Sciences and Humanities
The trend of change from science and technology policy to science, technology and innovation (STI) policy becomes remarkable in Japan but also in Europe. Policymakers intend to break down the sense of economic and social stagnation by creating innovation driven by science and technology. In order to solve complex social issues, innovation is definitely essential. However, it is also obvious that creating “real” innovation needs some other elements than just the development of hard science and technology. Innovation needs integration of knowledge beyond disciplines. Recently the role of social science and humanities (SSH) in the innovation process is being highlighted and science, technology and innovation policy of many countries now expects SSH to play important role in conceiving, realizing and adjusting the policy.

Justice, War Crime Trials and East Asia
Lecture series of Barak Kushner (Cambridge)
Le but de cette série de conférences sera d’abord de présenter le déroulement de procès de crimes de guerre moins connus, quoique tout aussi importants, dont il est rarement fait mention en Occident. Il s’agira d’analyser la nature des poursuites pour crime de guerre en Asie orientale et ce qu’elles représentaient, de voir dans quelle mesure elles différaient de leurs équivalents européens. Dans le même temps, nous tenterons de mettre en lumière la façon dont cette question a évolué en Chine, à Taiwan et au Japon après 1950, et les traces laissées par ces procès. Le fait que cette question continue de susciter de vives émotions montre que, pour comprendre la situation actuelle dans la région, il est nécessaire de revenir d'abord sur les processus par lesquels l’autorité se trouva légitimée sur les ruines de l’empire japonais. Les procès de crimes de guerre constituèrent un microcosme de cette histoire.
