What the Olympics Means to Japan

Welcome to the August 2021 issue of The Diplomat. This month, our cover story looks at Japan’s century-long fixation with the Olympic Movement, culminating in the tensions surrounding the Tokyo Olympics. We also probe how the Pacific Islands Forum fell apart (and how it can be put back together), trace the rise and fall of Malaysia’s middle class alongside the New Economic Policy, and evaluate Sri Lanka’s democracy a year after the return of the Rajapaksas. And, of course, we offer a range of reporting, analysis, and opinion from across the region.
