Shoichi Watanabe (Professor Emeritus of Sophia University) & Terumasa Nakanishi (Professor of Kyoto University)
Currently, discussions are increasing in Japan, on exercising the right to having a collective self-defense and constitutional amendments etc. On the other hand, if you look abroad, there are movements wielding a keen edge to Japan, such as the Resolution protecting the human rights of comfort women, and the production of a film featuring the Nanjing Massacre, and we can’t help but wonder “Why at this time?” Mr. Watanabe and Mr. Nakanishi, both have the eyes penetrating the history, exchange their views on the future international situation, touching upon the movements of the anti-Japanese organization behind that, and how Japan should advance under such circumstances.
