Abstract
This paper explains that the Japanese people, who are among the most nationalistic people of all, try hard to preserve their ethnic homogeneity, ensuring that the population of Japan remains dominated by the Japanese and that foreign nationals are a very small percentage of the population. The author evaluates Japan's immigration policies by focusing on its labor markets, rights protection, societal identities and border security. The paper concludes that globalization of Japan's industries causes an increasing demand for skilled workers;
however, currently, Japan's immigration policy is not open enough to welcome foreign workers and businesses as compared to the policies of
Singapore and Hong Kong, which leaves Japan behind in terms of economic globalization. The paper includes several quotations.

From the Paper
"In terms of maximum period of stay for foreign workers, Japan currently grants a maximum of only three years; surprisingly too short for a worker who wants to establish a good future; and surprisingly too short as compared again to other more developed countries. In terms of the employment status of foreign workers, on the other hand, considering the claim of Japan on their strict policy on limiting, or even preventing, foreign unskilled workers, it is surprising that "entertainers" and "trainees" coming from neighboring Asian countries are categorized under skilled workers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the key features of Japan?s foreign policy and also studies the reasons that exist behind its peace-oriented strategies.
The author looks at how Japan brought significant changes to its centuries-old foreign policy at two occasions during the 20th century. The paper focuses on the importance of world events which prompted Japan to abandon its policy of isolation and passive diplomacy and urged it to adopt a more positive, active and independent foreign policy.
From the Paper
"In order to understand the key features of Japan's foreign policy, it is important to take a look at the history of Japan's foreign policymaking. Since the Edo period, the country was interested more in protecting its borders from foreign attacks and threats and less in developing healthy positive relations with other countries of the world. Japanese policymakers were of the view that increase in power and might would help the country secure its borders against foreign aggression, but the problem was that, in doing so, the country completely forgot about development of healthy diplomatic relations."

Japan's Industrial Policy, 2003.

Abstract
This paper examines how Japan has been in economic stagnation for the past decade and how various macroeconomic measures have been tried out to no avail. It looks at why the industrial policy measures which are considered the reason for Japan's success in the past have become out of fashion and analyzes the essential points of industrial policy which succeeded in the past. It examines the present scenario and policies of METI , the successor of MITI and makes novel suggestions on possible industrial policy measures which can lead to a revival of the Japanese economy. It argues strongly for revival of a strong industrial policy again to make Japan flourish once more.
From the Paper
"When the Japanese economy was booming, much of the credit for the high performance was attributed to the industrial policy of the government, more specifically to the guidance provided by MITI to the private sector. So interwined were Government and business that Eugene Kaplan coined the term ?Japan Incorporated? to describe the relationship. In recent years the opinion that has gained ground is that the Japanese success was despite and not because of its industrial policy measures. Most economists argue that Japan?s postwar success owes more to the soundness of macro economic policies than to its industrial policy. The last decade has seen Japanese government reduce its role in industrial policy measures. Is it a coincidence that Japanese growth has stopped during the time of reduced government role in industry? "

Abstract
The primary focus of this essay is to note the changes taking place within the Japanese decision-making process. The author argues that Japan's foreign policy is no longer hostage to domestic and economic issues.
From the Paper
"The geopolitical situation in Northeast Asia is undergoing tremendous change, politically, economically, and militarily. The major debates underway today concern the rise of China, the impending collapse of North Korea, the economic dilemmas of Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and the Sino-Russian ?strategic partnership.? One emerging issue, which has drawn little attention, however, is the evolving rapprochement between Japan and the former Soviet Union. There are clear signs that the two nations are ready to move past the differences, which have divided them for over half a century."

Abstract
This paper discusses the cultural victimization of the Japanese internment marking the beginning of the American entry into World War II. The paper explains that there was no remittance given to any Japanese-American, and ethnicity was the only real determining factor for incarceration within a camp. The writer points out that, even people of significant social importance and wealth, who were second and even third generation Japanese-Americans, were evacuated, as can be attested to by the incarceration and internment of the well-known and well-respected Stanford professor, Yamato Ichihashi.
From the Paper
"Immigrants have always offered a colorful perspective of the lands they choose to settle. As outsiders they can view customs and traditions that the natural born citizen simply take to be a standard practice, in most if not all places. Yet, immigrants make it clear that the world is not so similar and something even as simple as the way a person holds his or her head can be different in nearly every culture. It is with this special perspective that the voices of immigrants color the world in which they live. Yet, as outsiders their perspective or reality rarely achieved appreciation form those who fear the unknown. It is for this reason that the immigrant is often the victim of oppression and subjugation that further colors their view of their chosen culture and can also starkly affect their worldview for the rest of their lives."

From the Paper

Immigration contributed to the growth of big-city political machines and after World War I fear of immigrant radicals triggered the first great Red scare in American national politics. Thus, immigration and the fear of immigration and immigrants played a major role in ... "

Abstract
This paper applies the identity theory to the case of immigration in the United States. It asks if the United States should continue to allow Immigrants to enter the U.S. seeking refuge and citizenship, when the nations states are already overly populated? It questions whether immigrants should be allowed to enter the U.S. and work when there are hundreds of citizens and native-born Americans already unemployed and desperately searching for work. It uses these questions as example of the conflicting messages immigrants and their children face in modern day society, and explains how they add to the increasingly complex problem of finding identity in a torn nation.
From the Paper
"The United States is world known for its ethnic diversity, due in part to the immigration allowed over several years. Many people however, fail to find a means to foster inter-racial and ethnic identities, thus causing much conflict and a lack of a uniform sense of identity. The social issue relates to finding a common identity in a nation of multi-ethnicities. Children of immigrants are now coming of age, and from a social psychological stand will make the most lasting impression on society. The character of society will be shaped by their experiences."

Abstract
This paper will focus on a series of issues. Initially, the question of illegal immigration and undocumented aliens will be considered. Subsequently, broader reforms to American immigration policy will be considered. Essentially, it will be argued that illegal immigration and the employment of undocumented aliens is a problem that needs to be addressed while the assertion that immigration in general is problematic will be dismissed.

Conclusion and Recommendations
From the Paper
"Of particular importance in the United States is the implementation of new environmental policies that associated an economic cost with the production of GHGs as well as greater investment in research and development in clean energy technology. A cap and trade scheme for carbon is already emerging with state level support through the country, and requires only marginal attention from the federal government in order to make this prudent approach a national policy. As for the development of clean energy technology, the United States has farther to go. In an effort to decrease dependence on foreign oil, there have been subsidies in alternative fuels, but whether or not these technologies are clean has not been a primary concern."

From the Paper
"Immigrants live differently than American low income families. They house four or five adults in a small apartment and share the rent without concern to cramped living quarters and bleak conditions. Immigrants pool their resources so that they can easily manage the high cost of living in America. As a result, landlords increase the rent because the supply is being filled by immigrants. Low income families who have one or two wage earners with wages of eight, nine or ten dollars find it increasingly difficult to compete with immigrants who have four or five adult incomes contributing."

Abstract
This paper describes the role of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in dealing with immigrants and in particular with the disparities in immigration policy for different groups and the long-term detention of immigrants who have committed no crime. It looks at the current system and its pros and cons as well as providing a literature review and relevant statistics. It examines how the central concern since 9-11 has been that the INS improve their system in order to prevent another terorist attack. It evaluates what improvements to the system are required such as a way to screen applicants more carefully in order to weed out anyone who can be considered a security risk, finding a way to keep track of immigrants once they are admitted and reshaping the system so it puts the security of Americans first and the convenience of the applicants for immigration second.
From the Paper
"In 1999, the INS deported 62,359 legal permanent immigrants for such crimes, a jump of nearly 75 percent since the laws took effect, and another 72,000 were allowed to leave voluntarily. Some 4,000 of the criminal immigrants being held today are from such countries as Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. They are being held as detainees who once committed a crime, not as criminals, and yet they could be serving life sentences, because their countries will not accept them back. They remain behind bars unless granted rare releases on bond. Immigration attorneys say that the Anti Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act and the Immigrant Responsibility Act strip U.S. immigration judges of nearly all the discretion they once had."

U.S.A. Immigration, 2007.
This paper discuses past and present U.S.A. immigration laws and the attitudes of citizens towards immigrants
1,235 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, although historically on the surface U.S.A. policy has maintained an open door towards immigration, more established immigrant groups and nationalities have discouraged immigration from nations and ethnicities other than their own. The author points out that given the impending health care crisis and the pressure on the educational system, currently, America's immigration laws are under attack for being too lax on both legal aliens and illegal immigrants. The paper relates that the proponents of the latest immigration laws hold to the premise that it is impossible to prevent immigrants from entering the U.S. through legal or illegal means; therefore, legal methods of obtaining citizenship should be proposed even for less favored immigrants.
From the Paper
"Doubtlessly, the United States policy regarding immigration has ceaselessly demanded that foreign peoples conform to our culture, religion, language, and preferably be of our race. The general fear is loss of our way of life; loss of our jobs, degradation of our language, loss of our vast open spaces, weakening of the economy, and loss of our identity. To many people these threats are very real; presently the U.S. takes in almost half of the world's immigrants; this suggests that if there were no regulations, drastic changes would come about."
