Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan and France have experienced a special relationship led by strong cultural and economic ties. The present paper analyses their relationship during the second administration of the former prime minister of Japan, Abe Shinzō. The paper focuses on their respective security trends. Security is studied as a(n inter-)subjective and dynamic process. For this reason, the Copenhagen School’s ‘securitisation’ will serve as a theoretical framework to investigate discursive and material practices of both nations. The article has two complementary goals. First, it studies whether and to what extent securitised issues and securitising moves of Japan and France converge to their approach to the Indo-Pacific region. To this end, the article extensively examines official documents and speeches of the two governments, including Japan’s annual ‘White Paper’ and ‘Diplomatic Bluebook’, and France’s strategic documents. Second, by examining transformations of their mutual relations, the paper investigates whether Japan and France have improved their synergy, especially in the defense domain, during Abe’s second administration. The paper concludes that Japan and France have a similar view on the security environment of the Indo-Pacific and, for this reason, they share similar concerns and interests. The result was an improvement of their relations which became increasingly more symbiotic towards the region.

“…지속 가능한 생산량 증가에 있어 미생물 및 유기질 비료는 북한 유기농업에서 중요한 구성 요소였을 것으로 추정된 다. 북한은 '고난의 행군' 시기 대두된 식량문제를 해결하기 위해 2003년 5월 21일 김정일은 조선노동당 중앙위원회 와의 담화에서 이전 농촌에서 화학비료에 의존적인 농사에 대해 "화학비료를 많이 사용하면 부침땅이 산성화되고 생 태환경이 파괴된다"고 언급했다고 한다(Kim, 2005a). 또한 "우리는 화학비료를 적게 쓰고 미생물비료와 유기질비료 를 가지고 농사를 짓는 대로 방향전환을 하여야 합니다"라며 유기농업으로의 전환 필요성 및 유기질비료의 생산 정책 을 장려했던 것으로 보인다.…”

Sustainable agricultural practices have become globally important. This trend is linked to growing concerns regarding environmental degradation, resource scarcity, and food security. This review explores the transition of North Korea to organic farming and highlights how microbial and organic fertilizers have been integral in facilitating this process. The primary source of information that underlies this review was studies conducted in North Korea. As a country that has faced a wide range of socioeconomic crises over the past few decades, including those directly impacting food security, North Korea has been exploring options to improve soil health and enhance crop production. To address these issues, North Korea has adopted organic farming practices. Alongside organic farming, efforts are underway to enhance crop productivity by implementing programs that monitor and prevent pathogen and pest infestations. Overall, the cornerstone of North Korea's organic farming model is the "Circular Closed-Loop Production System" which is largely rooted in self-sustaining agricultural cycles. These cycles include integrating crop cultivation and livestock production systems with multiple components. In conclusion, the progress North Korea has made in its implementation of organic farming practices highlights the feasibility of using organic and microbial fertilizers to address agricultural challenges and promote sustainable agriculture.
