Description

This paper analyzes the state of deliberative situation in Japan around hate speech using deliberative system theory in order to understand the degree of deliberative democracy permeating Japan. It explores how people's discourses resulted in the hate speech law (2016). To do so, it first categorizes the components of the deliberation system such as the media(ex. blogs and newspapers), civil activities(ex. counter demonstrations against hate speech demonstrations), politicians in response to public opinion, and parliamentary movements. By analyzing the relationship between these components and evaluating the deliberation system, this paper points out that deliberation may have been established in Japan in the course leading up to the passage of the hate speech law.
