The EAI held an Expert Seminar on 26th May 2015 with Professor Yongwook Ryu from the Australian National University. In this seminar, Professor Ryu discussed his research topic “The ‘History Problem’, Domestic Audience Costs, and Public Support in Japan”. Professor Ryu argued that the ‘history problem’ issue interacts with national identity and domestic politics to affect regional interstate relations, by taking experimental approach in order to test the causal effect of the ‘history problem’ issue on the Japanese public opinion. At the seminar, participants discussed the fortifying rightist movement in Japan, along with the ideal shape of Korea-Japan relationship and the East Asia regional interstate politics by sharing the correct perception of history among themselves.
