About these proceedings
The Australian National University each year organizes Asia Pacific Week as a training and networking opportunity for postgraduates in Asian Studies in Australia and its region. The 2007 Asia Pacific Week was held on 29-31 January 2007. In the Japan Section of the program, a number of students presented developed papers which were then discussed intensively by other postgraduates and by academic specialists. Because of new research available in these papers, it was decided to offer participants the opportunity to have their papers considered for publication in refereed conference proceedings to be published on line.
Each paper submitted for consideration was peer-reviewed according to the requirements of the Australian Commonwealth Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). That is, it was sent to two scholars who were asked to provide a scholarly judgement on the paper's suitability for publication. The editor made a decision for or against publication on the basis of these judgements. Heartfelt thanks is due to Dr Duckyoung Lee, who was the co-organizer of the Japan Program, and to Mr Masato Karashima and Ms Naomi Ogi who helped greatly both with the program and with the editorial process. Special thanks is due to Mr Greg Young for his work in preparing and maintaining this web publication.
The Japan program of Asia Pacific Week 2007 was made possible by generous grants from the Japan Foundation and from the International Center of Excellence for Asia Pacific Studies, and warmly supported by the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific.

The Reform of Policing Protest Strategy post 1968 in Japan
This paper shows how Japanese police attempted to build “an alliance with local community” for public order through the policing strategy in this period, by examining reports on the police by scholars and journalists and published documents by the police.

What is one meaning of 'ethnic community' in contemporary Australia?
This paper introduces the latest demographic data about Japanese migrants, which indicate both the quantitative and qualitative changes of Japanese migrants in society. It also looks at a Japanese organisation named 'the Penrith Japanese Community' and founded in a suburb of Sydney, and gives an introduction to its regional socio-cultural context, and suggests that such new Japanese migrants and their engagements with locals will give us a greater insight into discussing a constitution of community within social diversity.
