Abstract:

The round table FD14 is sponsored by the Japan Association of International Relations, which is in fact called “Nihon Kokusai Seiji Gakkai” in Japanese. If this name is translated literally into English, it should be called the Japan Association of International Politics. This might not be surprising at all in the United States. However, in Japan, “International Politics” and “International Relations” are not necessarily interchangeable. “International Relations” has a more comprehensive meaning, containing “International Politics” as a branch among others such as “International Law” and “International Economics.” Though distinguishing the state of International Studies in Japan from that in the United States, this historical conditioned divergence has not been well explicated in English. The whole body of International Studies prior to the Second World War has been grasped as “an amalgamation of Law, History, and Economics in the international arena” to borrow from Professor Inoguchi (who was supposed to attend this round table, but actually could not). The various strands of International Studies, including those leading into International Politics and International Relations, are all conflated into this all-inclusive “amalgamation.” Therefore, in this paper, I will resolve this “amalgamation” into its originally individual strands as observed in the form of university subjects. Particularly, I will look into the curriculums of the University of Tokyo and Waseda Universities. The genealogical distinctiveness of International Politics and International Relations will appear in the process.

Introduction Not much is known internationally about the state of international studies in Japan; not least the historically conditioned connotative incongruity between “International Politics” and “International Relations ”1
is presumably due to the first president Kamikawa’s identification of “International Politics” and “International Relations” which incurred Kawata’s criticism as just noted. Whatever caused the linguistic bifurcation in the first place this bilingual conflation happens to embody the initial condition of the association and its contemporary form simultaneously. The Japan Association of International Relations or the Japan Association of International Politics which started with 35 fellows surrounding Kamikawa in 1956 now incorporates over 2000 members with various backgrounds divided
