BOOKED IN JAPAN: Professor Robert Pekkanen has been selected as a recipient of the prestigious 2008 Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Prize for his book, Japan’s Dual Civil Society: Members without Advocates and will also participate in a speaking tour across Japan organized by the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo this summer. Pekkanen is chair of the Japan Studies Program in the Jackson School of International Studies and an assistant professor of East Asian Studies. His book seeks to explain the dual structure of Japan’s civil society: there is widespread citizen participation in local civil society groups, but few nonprofit organizations and a less professionalized civil society in Japan than in most Western democracies. Japan’s Dual Civil Society also received a prize from the Japanese Nonprofit Research Association in 2007. A Japanese translation is slated to arrive on shelves in Tokyo in February 2008.
