  Among Empires. Transimperial circulation of political models and scientific knowledge

  The case of four “latecomers” (Germany, Italy, Belgium and Japan), 1880s-1940s

  We seek original contributions that, through the lens of the politics of comparison, focus on four “latecomer empires,” namely Germany, Italy, Belgium, and Japan that started their colonial expansion at the end of the nineteenth century. In these countries and their colonies and protectorates, heated debates took place around the search for (historical or current foreign) models, and politicians, activists, and intellectuals often demanded the transimperial circulation of colonial knowledge, be it legal, political, or scientific. In particular, we are interested in two distinct yet bordering fields: models of colonial policies from a global perspective and transimperial circulation of colonial knowledge in scientific fields such as medicine, agronomy, anthropology, legal culture, etc.

  The judicialization of social and environmental issues in Japan

  Continuities, transformations, evolutions

  This special edition aims to gain insight into how the use of the legal system and litigation have evolved. In Japan, recourse to the courts is relatively rare, but litigations have increased since the end of the 1980s in areas such as labour, consumer protection, family law and, more recently, climate change. Is a process of “judicialization” (shihōka) underway in Japan?
