Stockholm Seminar on Japan: The politics of periphery and depopulation: Japan and Sweden
Evenemang
As in many other places, the question of depopulating and economically disadvantaged communities, primarily in rural areas, has been a salient political issue for both Japan and Sweden. For decades, Japanese administrations have promoted the “balanced development of the nation” and “regional revitalization”, with concerns raised that nearly half of all municipalities will become “extinct” due to ongoing depopulation.
