POPSJapan's Global Ambitions India & Japan are both vying for a permanent seat in the UNSC, with or without the coveted veto power. With the failure of a combined attempt by G-4 to effect Security Council reform, it appears that a nation going solo will find it easier to get the seat, rather than if it tried to get in with a group. In this situation India may lose out to Japan. Japan has everything going for it- money, influence , & most importantly US' support. Though China will most probably exercise its veto power to prevent Japan coming on board,this is no relief for India either, whose bid is far more likely to elicit the Chinese veto. However Japan's energetic attempts at bolstering its credentials may carry the day for them when the opurtunity arises.

POPSImposing morality and ethics is 'imperialism': whaling conference
Some of you think the same thing can go to the climate change regime, but actually it isn't. There are two points at least different from climate change regime; 1) the epistemic community doesn't work enough to give sufficient information which have both governments and NGOs like greenpeace and IFAW (Preservationists) and WWF (Conservationists) know about facts. Without sharing scientific knowledge, the issue cannot be addressed with effectiveness. 2) there are only a few countries like Japan, Norway, UK, US and so on that have connexions in terms of interests by either using the resource or not, and many of the states (ones doesn't have coastline) doesn't have the connexions with them. This means that a few actors play a part in either leading the regime or preventing it. The others doesn't make decision spontaneously. Mainly there decision is influenced from the public opinion or the political power outside of the country.

POPSConference on the Sustainable Use of Tuna Though it's a step for sustainable use of sea resources, this isn't yet enough since, unlike Kyoto Protocol for example, the regime doesn't include any legal regulations. So we'll see the "tragedy of commons" here. This topic will be, however, suitable for case-study of global governance of fisheries.
