| One of the elements that have often been neglected in the study of    |
| foreign policy is the role of norms and ideas. While human rights     |
| standards were formalized and became to be recognized as an           |
| international norm, it is still not clear whether or how human rights |
| affect the foreign policy of specific states. In the case of Japan,   |
| its foreign policy is often characterized by hesitance to take        |
| decisive action for human rights and its dictation by economic        |
| interest. In this paper the influnece of human rights on Japanese     |
| foreign policy is examined through the study of nongovernmental       |
| organizations (NGOs) in Japanese politics, as new political actors    |
| that speak for the norm of international human rights in Japanese     |
| politics. Japanese NGOs have achieved a dramatic development in the   |
| 1980s and 1990s, and today they are recognized as important entities  |
| in Japanese society. NGOs adopt various strategies and tactics to     |
| influnence Japanâ‚‚s decision making in foreign policy to challenge   |
| the political environment that consists of Japanâ‚‚s hesitance in the |
| area of human rights and the strong influence of the business sector. |
| Case studies examine active NGOs networks in Japan that work for      |
| human rights and democracy in East Timor and Burma and include an     |
| in-depth analysis of their operation styles, foci, and organizations. |
