Dear all I am pleased to announce the publication of the article: Fynn Holm: After Withdrawal from the IWC: The Future of Japanese Whaling. The Asia-Pacific Journal (February 15, 2019 Volume 17 | Issue 4 | Number 4) Summary: In December 2018, the Japanese government announced that it was withdrawing from the International Whaling Commission and would resume commercial whaling in July 2019. This paper revisits four coastal communities that still conduct coastal whaling to see how these communities have developed during the whaling moratorium and what prospects and challenges they face when commercial whaling is resumed.
