Join Tokyo's best known and most authoritative foreign born political analyst, Dan Harada, as he summarizes the main developments in the always tumultuous yet rarely straightforward world of Japanese national politics. 2011 began with one Prime Minister, and as is so often the case in Japan, it is ending under the leadership of another. What really happened and why? What is the likely future of Mr. Ozawa? When will the next election be held and what are the possible outcomes? Will Japan really embrace the TPP or are the internal opposing forces just too strong?

(b) BDTI 's Two-Day “ Director Training” Course
(Co-sponsors: Westlaw Japan, Thomson Reuters, Supporters: White & Case LLP, The Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, a major auditing firm)
Instructors (subject to possible change):
Almost 9 months have passed since the Tohoku disaster. Since then, local governments and residents of the Tsunami affected region have been working restlessly, cleaning debris, restoring agricultural land and planning reconstruction. Decontamination of the land is progressing but reconstruction in the devastated area has yet to begin in earnest.
The events of March 11 have devastated the Tohoku Region, but the people are determined to reconstruct and revitalize their communities. Can foreign affiliated firms play a significant role in the new Japan that will evolve through, for example, the establishment of special economic zones and other measures? Potential investors would like to know what the blueprint for reconstruction will look like and when it will be fully implemented. What sorts of new opportunities will emerge?
The Board Director Training Institute of Japan (BDTI) will soon offer: (a) a seminar on 11/28 by the ISS man in charge of proxy voting policy for Japan next year, with commentary on recent events by the Mr. Matsuzaki of the TSE's listing division, and information on recent trends about foreign and large investors, and (b) its first full "director training" course on 12/11 and 12/12.
