It’s been a month since the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The shooting came as a shock because Japan is considered one of the safest countries in the world, one where gun violence especially is very much unheard of in modern times. So what has been the sociopolitical fallout of his assassination?

On July 8th, 2022, the world was shocked when Shinzo Abe, Japan’s longest-serving Prime Minister was shot dead while delivering a public speech. Many people are wondering how this happened in such a peaceful country.

In this episode, Mark Ledlow welcomes Carlo Pacileo, a security consultant who lives in Japan, and they will be discussing what were the possible reasons why the assailant, Tetsuya Yamagami was able to come near Abe and shot him.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Introducing Carlo Pacileo
• The Prime Minister's security details and routine
• A culture of obedience
• The complacent nature of security

QUOTES

Carlo on heavy reliance on local police instead of personal agents:

“In my opinion, they've relied too much on pulling local police from instead of using their own agents, I don't know what their policy is compared to ours, where you get protection for life as a former head of state.”

Carlo discusses the culture of obedience in Japan:

“Here it's a culture where everyone does what they're told, for the most part. There aren't any rebels. There aren't any there. No one smashing in the windows and flipping over cars and burning all that stuff when they're upset compared to the States at times.”

Carlo talks about the complacency of security:

“It's not just the no-crime thing. They're so used to everyone falling in line, everyone. You put out a government announcement, like with the mass thing, or stay indoors, everyone, everyone follows orders.”

The last few months saw a buzz of activity in Asia. The Biden administration just launched its signature Indo-Pacific Economic Framework to jumpstart trade relations with regional partners. Meanwhile, China stirred the pot as it inked a controversial pact with the Solomon Islands. And just a few weeks ago, members of the G20 convened in Bali, while news of the assassination of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe shocked the world. 

At the forefront of the recent developments in the Asia Pacific has been State Department Counselor Derek Chollet. Counselor Chollet returns to The World Unpacked to talk about his trip with Secretary Blinken to Asia, Shinzo Abe’s legacy, U.S.-China competition, and more.

Sri Lanka's economic crisis crosses over 100 days as President Gotabaya Rajapaksa resigns and flees amid mass public protests. The trust deficit between the political class and the Sri Lankan populace continues to exacerbate the current socioeconomic breakdown, raising fear among all neighbouring countries. 

The assassination of Japan’s Prime Minister has revived conversations on Japan’s foreign policy outreach and his close ties with Prime Minister Modi. A longstanding ally for India, Shinzo Abe’s legacy is worth looking into to understand the ensuing narrative of South Asian politics and India’s role in this discourse.

With the US House of Representatives sanctioning a waiver for India-specific CAATSA Act, how will this bilateral relationship affect the geopolitical shift in the Indo-Pacific, especially with China's rise to power?

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S. Paulo’ desta segunda-feira (11/07/22):

O assassinato de um guarda municipal de Foz do Iguaçu (PR) no fim da noite de sábado, durante sua festa de aniversário de 50 anos, ampliou o temor de violência nas eleições deste ano. Marcelo Arruda era filiado ao PT e foi candidato a vice-prefeito da cidade paranaense em 2020. Conforme o boletim de ocorrência registrado na Polícia Civil, ele foi morto a tiros por Jorge José da Rocha Guaranho, agente penitenciário federal e apoiador do presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Um vídeo de uma câmera de segurança do local mostra que Arruda foi baleado e reagiu atirando no agressor, que até a noite de ontem permanecia internado em estado grave.
