Canadian Internationalism and Japan

The notion of internationalism has long been central to discussions of Canadian foreign policy, and perhaps also to Canada’s actual policies. Internationalism has also featured in debates about international activities in many other countries, including Japan (where the term is kokusaishugi).

There are some similarities in the international activities of Canada and Japan, but there are also some differences. Both Canada and Japan value and pursue international trade and investment opportunities, for example. Both also provide development assistance, although Canada’s contribution there has been shrinking and Japan has become the major Western donor. On the other hand, given its history, Canada has traditionally participated more often than Japan in U.N. peacekeeping. Not surprisingly, then, there are some similarities in how observers in both countries talk about “internationalism”. There are also some differences. For example, some Japanese thinking about foreign policy emphasizes pacifism (heiwashugi) more than Canadian thinking has done.

For some observers, a key component of Canada’s internationalism is the notion of a middle power role. International actors have been traditionally been distinguished as either great powers or small powers. Great powers, such as the United States, have their own versions of internationalism, as do some small states, such as Cuba. Some states have come to be identified as middle powers, most often because of their middle-range military, economic and other capabilities. Middle powers, including post-war Canada, and perhaps Japan, have their own conceptions of what middle powers are and what is distinct about their actions.

Further research in both Canada and Japan should help to improve our understanding of the important place of internationalism in contemporary thinking about global affairs. Such comparative work may have broad implications for how Canada and Japan view their roles in the world. Canadian diplomat John Holmes once noted that the notion of Canada as a middle power "had at least one good purpose and that was to give Canadians a sense of proportion, to convince them that they need not be mere ciphers in the international community. . ." "That," Holmes insists, "was the real point”. What he said may be true of Japan and other countries as well.

Gordon R. Kadota Ex-President of National Association of Japanese Canadians

Gordon Ryo Kadota was born 1933 in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, as the 8th child of Kantaro and Shigeno Kadota. At the age of seven he went to Japan for a visitation but the outbreak of World War II prevented the return to Canada. After 12 years in Japan during and after the war, he returned in 1952 after completing high school at Kwansei Gakuin University High.

Gordon Kadota has been involved in the Japanese Canadian community since 1955 serving both at the local and national levels. He was instrumental in the formation and served as the first President of the National Association of Japanese Canadians which spearheaded the redress movement culminating in the 1988 Acknowledgement and Redress by the Federal Government. Most recently, he served as the President of the National Nikkei Heritage Centre Society, the organization instrumental in building the 20 million dollar community complex Nikkei Place in Burnaby, B.C.

Yuko Ikeda Kwansei Gakuin University

Yuko Ikeda is working for the Archives of Kwansei Gakuin University. As a member of the Presidents Studies Project of the Archives, she has been looking for materials on W. R. Lambuth, J. C. C. Newton, and C. J. L. Bates. In 1999, she visited Canada to further her research on Bates and wrote the first report in both English and Japanese. In 2013, Voices from the Past to the Future: Recollecting the History of Kwansei Gakuin, 1889-1940 was published in memory of President Bates on the fiftieth anniversary of his death.
