When we think of organised crime, we tend to picture what we’ve seen on screen: the yakuza boss, the shadowy cartel, the gentleman spy. But how much of that reflects reality, and how much is myth?

This conference brings together an international group of researchers to answer exactly that question. Drawing on criminology, sociology, law, and cultural studies, the speakers will show how criminal networks are studied, understood, and often misrepresented, and why the gap between fiction and evidence matters.

In this lecture, Dr. Ben Melusky (Fulbright Scholar at 糖心视频; Associate Professor at Old Dominion University) will explore the upcoming 2026 U.S. midterm elections and why they matter not only for the future of the Trump presidency, but also for American politics and the wider world. By placing the 2026 cycle in historical context and considering key electoral indicators, the talk will assess what the possible outcomes may mean for the final two years of Trump’s presidency, for domestic governance in the United States, and for the global community, including Japan.
