Welcome
This site was set up as a virtual space within which to work through some of my ideas and to submit my thoughts to the market place of ideas. The aim is to get feedback and comment, and generate some dialogue on the issues that interest me, as a means of refining my own thinking on these issues. At the same time, I hope to provide some information and perspectives that may be of some interest to others.
Links on the right are to my blog posts and to my more formal writing. It is primarily on issues of law and policy in the areas of international law, comparative constitutional law, and national security, particularly with respect to Japan, Canada, and the U.S. There is also a page of links for sources on law and policy in Japan. In terms of my own background, a short curriculum vitae is posted on the site.
My primary research is on the interaction of international and constitutional law constraints on the use of armed force, using the Japanese Constitution as a vehicle for some of the analysis.
