Ria Shibata – författare

Shibata, Carroll and Boege address the various dimensions of the climate change–conflict nexus and shed light on the overwhelming challenges of climate change in the Pacific Islands region.This book highlights the multidimensionality of the problems: political, technical, material, and emotional and psychological. Written by experts in the field, the chapters highlight the centrality and importance of opening up a dialogue between researchers involved in the large-scale global modelling of climate change and the local actors. Both scholars and civil society actors come together in sharing about the complexities of local contexts and the conflictdriving potential of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies on the ground. The book brings together indigenous Pacific approaches with broader international debates in the climate change–security discourse. Through various accounts and perspectives, current gaps in knowledge are bridged, contributing to the development of more grounded, conflict-sensitive climate change policies, strategies, governance and adaptation measures in the Pacific region.An important resource for students, researchers, policymakers and civil society actors interested in the multi-faceted issues of climate change in the Pacific.

Shibata and Kunz delve into the deep-seated identity factors that have perpetuated the conflict between Japan and South Korea. The enduring diplomatic and political tensions between the two nations are rooted in unresolved historical grievances and entrenched narratives of victimhood, which continue to shape their national identities. For meaningful reconciliation to take place, these divisive historical memories and narratives must be critically examined to build a stronger foundation for sustained diplomatic efforts.This book investigates the socio-psychological dynamics of competing victimhood, shedding light on the key barriers to reconciliation and exploring Japanese perspectives on intergenerational responsibility for historical injustices. Through a nuanced analysis of the complex identity conflict between Japan and South Korea, it provides valuable insights and practical guidance for policymakers, civil society leaders, and the broader public to foster dialogue, rebuild trust, and promote long-term cooperation between the two nations.An essential book for researchers and scholars of international relations, peace and conflict studies, and global studies, as well as a critical tool for policymakers and practitioners working in conflict resolution and reconciliation.
