ナショナリズムと地理的スケール 次週のテーマ
沖縄における領域の政治化 戦後の沖縄
It is clear that the geopolitical location of Okinawa is a key to understanding politics over Okinawa among great powers.
地理 面積2,266 km2 (559,951エーカー) 島の数108 亜熱帯性気候 人口1,273,440 (1995年現在) 日本で年間平均収入最下位、失業率最高 Okinawa is geographically marginalized in many respects.
歴史 〜1879: 琉球王国 1879〜1945: 沖縄県として編入 1945: 沖縄戦 1945〜72: 米軍占領・統治(琉球列島) 1972〜: 沖縄県として復帰 And its history is very complicated. It used to be an independent kingdom but has belonged to two core states. Meanwhile, it was severely destroyed in the Battle of Okinawa.
This is a very popular geographical image of Okinawa This is a very popular geographical image of Okinawa. Blue ocean, blue sky, and white beach.
Beautiful coral reeves.
Unique culture.
And also many US bases. This map shows thirty-eight military installations located in Okinawa Island, which occupies about 20% of the land.
There are shooting/bombing ranges outside the island.
This is one of the bases in the island, Futenma Air Station This is one of the bases in the island, Futenma Air Station. I lived near hear. Please look at the difference of land use, particularly residential density.
This is Kadena Air Base which is the largest US air base in East Asia and a big source of income and problems for Okinawans.
US military force uses various parts of Okinawa.
And causes accidents and damage outside their bases.
Therefore, Okinawans protest against US bases Therefore, Okinawans protest against US bases. This is the human chain in July 2000 when the G8 summit was held in Okinawa.
This is the large-scale political rally against the Japan-US security relations in 1995, which was triggered by the rape conducted by three US servicemen.
1956 年の土地闘争 「島ぐるみ闘争」 Now, let’s move back to forty-five years ago.
First, we need to understand what frustrates Okinawans First, we need to understand what frustrates Okinawans. Obviously, It is the presence of US bases in their islands. However, the presence has been changing according to the security importance of Okinawa for US and Japan. The end of WWII, the beginning of the Cold-War, and the reversion of Okinawa to Japan changed the pattern of the US military presence in mainland Japan and Okinawa. Importantly, it seems that the beginning of the Cold-War determined the fate of Okinawa and that its end in 1989 does not affect this pattern at all. The graph clearly shows that the territory of Okinawa has been forced to accept the burden of security for US and Japan according to their security partnership. In 1956, when the area of US bases started increasing, Okinawans came to realize what burden they were expected to accept.
The destruction after the Battle of Okinawa
Americans came in.
They started governing Okinawa They started governing Okinawa. They also established Okinawan semi-autonomous government.
The Governance of Okinawa in 1956 The US The Japanese Government Government Negotiation Okinawa Petition Petition The USCAR Appointment of Veto/Ordinances the Chief Delegate The Ryukyu Government The trilateral relationship between Okinawa, US, and Japan was formed. But there was not much democracy guaranteed for Okinawans. The US governing body was called USCAR (the US Civil Administration of the Ryukyus) that often repressed Okinawan social movements. Institutionalized Municipal governments Election of the relationship Legislature Election Non-institutionalized The Okinawans relationship
However, we should not forget that US governance gave Okinawans job opportunities and material resources for recovery.
Let’s look at the background of the 1956 land struggle Let’s look at the background of the 1956 land struggle. In order to transform Okinawa to a security site. US needed land to build their bases. The land was often forcibly seized from Okinawan farmers.
US tried to establish permanent leasehold using a lump-sum payment of the rent for land. Through this policy, Okinawan lost their land and had to leave their home and moved to houses like this. US built their bases and houses on the seized land such as these.
Okinawans started to protest against the policy of forcible land seizure in the early 1950s.
The pretest spread all over Okinawa Island in 1956, which was later cold the 1956 crisis by US military force.
The 1956 protest had a significant political implication leading to the 1972 reversion. Why so?
