Dreams of Another World: A Review of Por Heong Hong and Victor Chin’s Five Tigers

Tue, 11 May 2021 04:10:46 GMT

title: Dreams of Another World: A Review of Por Heong Hong and Victor Chin’s Five Tigers abstract: When entering a home objects such pictures, photographs, memorabilia often reveal ‘traces’ of a person, made up of his or her past. As a reflection of the owner, these objects project not only what has passed but what could have been, bearing on the possibilities of paths chosen or unchosen. If we were to enlarge this house, expand it to a grander scale to mimic that of a nation, we could then perhaps think about how these objects could then be placed into documents, archives and museums to showcase the importance of the past to the present as well as the future of any particular nation. But as many scholars would point out—the case being made most effectively by Haitian historian, Michel R. Trouillot—history is made of several layers, with some being made more apparent and visible than others. History in other words is malleable and therefore can be made to serve certain interests through emphasis or by silencing certain events.2 As such the struggle over the soul of a nation often lies in the tension between revelation and oblivion.

China's Impact on the European Union's Arctic Policy: Critical Junctures, Crossovers, and Geographic Shifts

Wed, 05 May 2021 04:11:23 GMT

title: China's Impact on the European Union's Arctic Policy: Critical Junctures, Crossovers, and Geographic Shifts abstract: In 2008, the European Commission perceived the European Union (EU) in an excellent position to collaborate with the five Euro-Arctic states and its strategic partners Canada, Russia and the United States to shape Arctic governance in the fast-changing environment. However, the Arctic coastal states rejected the EU's multilateral governance approach, while China has emerged as a significant factor in the Arctic. In 2018, China announced the Polar Silk Road to connect East Asia with Europe via shipping and railroads. In 2019, the EU started to perceive China as a systemic rival concerning the Belt and Road Initiative. What is the impact of China on the EU's Arctic policies in the Euro-Arctic environment? What are the prospects for collaboration between the EU and China on joint issues? This paper applies process-tracing to analyze China's and the EU's Arctic socialization in the early 21st century at three critical junctures of Arctic politics. At these junctures, the paper introduces the Arctic situation, and emerging problems, development in agenda-setting, the policy processes, and the outcomes of the EU's and China's Arctic approaches. It argues that China's rise as a maritime and Arctic power and its close relations with Russia along the Northern Sea Route shaped the EU's Arctic policies and their shift towards the Barents sub-Arctic region. Implications are more interaction among both there, as China's Polar Silk Road might also challenge the EU's regulatory approach in the Euro-Arctic.

Exploring Sino-Russian-Nordics triangular relations: Complex balancing along the Polar Silk Road

Wed, 05 May 2021 04:11:20 GMT

title: Exploring Sino-Russian-Nordics triangular relations: Complex balancing along the Polar Silk Road abstract: The megatrends of climate change, China's Belt and Road Initiative, and the Western sanctions against Russia have made the once calm Arctic an arena of geopolitical competition. Before the Crimea crisis of 2014, the Nordics were the primary advocates for a Chinese role in the Arctic when Russia was still hesitant. In 2017 Russia and China agreed to build a Polar Silk Road along the Northern Sea Route, which complements China's 21st Century Maritime Silk Road plans. Russia financially depends on China for its aspirational Arctic plans. Meanwhile, China increasingly perceives the five Nordic states as a unit to negotiate projects under the Belt and Road Initiative and suggested a 5+1 format. Thus, China's rising Arctic presence made the age-old Nordics-Russia relations triangular. What does the Sino-Russian strategic partnership mean for the Nordics' preference formation concerning the Polar Silk Road? This paper traces the triangular ties before and after the Crimea crisis and finds that the actors switched from liberal towards defensive neorealist perspectives. The Nordics have become worried about the Sino-Russian Arctic honeymoon, Russia's Arctic military assertiveness and China's intentions. As the triangular links are out-of-balance, the Nordics might apply complex balancing to achieve collective goods along the NSR.

Germany's EU Presidency during COVID-19 Pandemic: Interdependencies of Two Institutional Innovations

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 04:10:42 GMT

title: Germany's EU Presidency during COVID-19 Pandemic: Interdependencies of Two Institutional Innovations abstract: The COVID-19 pandemics of 2020 is another so-called existential crisis of the European Union (EU) added to the “European poly-crises” (Jean-Claude Juncker) of the last decade. Therefore, Berlin’s theme “Together for Europe’s recovery” of Germany’s July-December 2020 Presidency of the European Union is universal. This rotating EU Presidency is Chancellor Angela Merkel’s last opportunity to solidify her legacy. Originally on that occasion, one would expect an outward-looking vision for the EU, for instance, strengthening of EU-Asia relations as envisaged with the EU-ASEAN strategic partnership, decided indeed under Germany’s 2020 Presidency. However, once more, her capacity as crisis manager is what the situation has demanded. Germany, concealing its influence for different reasons, supported two major institutional innovations that COVID-19 bought intrinsically together. These two major institutional innovations might pave the way towards a closer Union. However, to its critics, they bear the risk of dragging the EU further into jeopardy. The present talk is about joint debt instruments, also dubbed Eurobonds, and the Rule of Law Mechanism, decided on November 5 2020. The former aims at supporting economic recovery after the health crisis. The latter shall ensure that the European treaties and the rule of law standards remain stable in the current populist-prone European politics. The presentation will introduce these two new instruments, discuss the pros and cons, its interdependencies, and its potential consequences. Will they bring the EU closer together or tear the Union apart?

Sinology in Poland: Epistemological Debates and Academic Practice

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 04:10:31 GMT

title: Sinology in Poland: Epistemological Debates and Academic Practice abstract: This study looks at how an understanding of sinology as a discipline evolved among Polish specialists on China against the background of the epistemological debates on the study of China in the Western world. Based on interviews and focusing on two periods in the history of postwar Polish sinology – the 1950s-1960s and then the 1990s and thereafter – it provides insights into the discourses among academics. The findings from an analysis of the interviews demonstrate that the epistemological divide on the study of China in Western intellectual spheres has been particularly marked in academic circles in Poland. This is evident in the debates among Polish scholars who struggle both to establish the meaning of sinology and, at the same time, to determine the future of their profession. Whereas this divide has greatly influenced the program of sinological training at the University of Warsaw, it has not had an influence in Poznań and Łódź, the two other centers of sinology in Poland.

The Social Construction of the Realm of the Discipline: Polish Sinology

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 04:10:29 GMT

title: The Social Construction of the Realm of the Discipline: Polish Sinology abstract: This work picks up the long standing debate on the meaning of sinology, and particularly one of the latest contributions by "The Epistemology of China Studies: Oral History Project" hosted by the Research and Educational Center for Mainland China and Cross-Strait Relation at the National Taiwan University (NTU). It takes as a springboard the theoretical assumption about the floating meaning of sinology, which can never be fixed due to the shifting nature of disciplinary boundaries in the manner in which all knowledge is relative. It looks at the example the sinology department at the University of Warsaw (UW) and asks what counts as a discipline-specific knowledge according to the Polish academia. In order to answer this question it analyses the rhetorical work involved in the defining sinologists and defending the discipline in the selected works and interviews with the Polish scholars working on China. It comments on the phenomenon of creating disciplinary labels, the role of the external pressure on the knowledge production and the ways in which this pressure is mediated and assimilated by the staff of the sinology department at the UW.

Taipei's Soft Power at Work. The Picture of Taiwan in Polish Dailies Gazeta Wyborcza and Rzeczpospolita.

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 04:10:28 GMT

title: Taipei's Soft Power at Work. The Picture of Taiwan in Polish Dailies Gazeta Wyborcza and Rzeczpospolita. abstract: Taiwan’s external relations are ‘exceptional.’ Due to the island’s contested international status and limited recognition, public diplomacy often provides Taipei with the only channel to conduct external affairs through the soft power resources it enables. Therefore, in order to assess the island’s foreign policies, it is crucial to understand its soft power capacity. This chapter analyses the challenges to the exercise of Taiwan’s soft power as well as its effects in selected Polish dailies. First, it looks for themes that may enable and disable Taiwan’s soft power in the scholarly literature and documents released by Taipei’s governmental actors. Second, it examines whether these themes pertaining to the island were present in two Polish dailies – “Gazeta Wyborcza” and “Rzeczpospolita” – during a one-year period from November 1, 2016 to October 31, 2017. The newspaper analysis aims to reveal narratives that are alternative to those promoted publicly and that are related to the image of Taiwan, other significant international actors, and Taiwanese governmental as well as non-state executors of public policy, all of which may contribute to an enabling or disabling environment for Taipei’s soft power. It applies techniques and methods from media research and discourse analysis.

Finally, it presents the structure and content of this volume.

Policy Review: The New German Policy Guidelines on the Indo-Pacific Region

Wed, 28 Oct 2020 04:10:15 GMT

title: Policy Review: The New German Policy Guidelines on the Indo-Pacific Region abstract: With the September 2020 issued guidelines "Germany-Europe-Asia: shaping the 21st century together", the German government joined France, the USA and the Indo-Pacific rim-states Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and Taiwan to adopt new policy strategies on the Indo-Pacific region. Germany wants to toughen up itself and the European Union (EU) to shape the regional order in partnership with like-minded Indo-Pacific democracies and the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), a natural partner for interregional and a rules-based integration and multilateralism. This policy review explores the essence of Germany's new Indo Pacific guidelines. Since Berlin's input has strongly shaped the previous EU approaches towards China and Asia, one may expect a significant strategic shift in the overall EU's Asia approach is on the brink.

The EU, China, and ASEAN Connectivity: 'European Way' Versus Belt and Road Initiative?

Wed, 07 Oct 2020 04:10:53 GMT

title: The EU, China, and ASEAN Connectivity: 'European Way' Versus Belt and Road Initiative? abstract: The September 2018 publication of both the European Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy “Connecting Europe and Asia – Building blocks for an EU Strategy” (European Commission 2018) outline the various dimensions of how the European Union (EU) plans to connect Europe with Asia and how to improve connectivity within Asia. The connectivity strategy is not least an answer to China’s massive Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), an enormous unregulated Eurasian infrastructure diplomacy project that has enabled China to become perceived as the EU’s systemic rival. Connectivity is a crucial new concept in the EU’s economic diplomacy towards Asia. Previously, connectivity mainly related to the telecommunication sector. Now, connectivity comprises all sorts of infrastructure (like roads, railways, ports, and digital connectivity), but also extends to financial, regulatory and sustainable business practices in transnational supply chains, and also societal “people’s to people’s” connectivity. The EU Commission promotes a ‘European way’ in its new Asia strategy, which emphasizes a sustainable, comprehensive and international rule-based approach. This research question focuses on the last of the three ‘European way’ dimensions, “international rule-based”, to explore the potential of the connectivity strategy regarding the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN). While ASEAN governments have become more cautious about China’s BRI, they also represent uneasy partners for the EU’s high-standards connectivity strategy. Is systemic rivalry between the EU and China playing out regards ASEAN, or are there possibilities for coordination towards European standards? This research leans on the concept of hybrid interregionalism. It assumes that for a ‘European Way’ to emerge, the EU must coordinate its policies with like-minded countries both within and as regards ASEAN, and especially with governments that share similar values, agreements and concerns regarding the BRI in the East Asian political economy. Hence, this interregional complexity demands an omnidirectional EU interregional strategy. Due to the very recent dynamics in the global and regional system, there is an opportunity to elaborate on new insights regarding this central research question from a theoretical and empirical perspective. Next to content analysis and literature review, this exploration also plans interviews with policymakers in the EU and Asia as it is a funded project by the Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan.

The Polar Silk Road: China's Multilevel Arctic Strategy to Globalize the Far North

Wed, 07 Oct 2020 04:10:17 GMT

title: The Polar Silk Road: China's Multilevel Arctic Strategy to Globalize the Far North abstract: China's arrival in the Arctic aroused suspicion in foreign media and politics that are distressed about China's goals in the Far North. This article explores the question of how China approaches and shapes the Arctic governance system with an emphasis on the Nordics and assumes that the precondition for an effective Arctic diplomacy is whether and how China manages and approaches the different levels of Arctic governance. It argues that it is the small but wealthy European Arctic states that are indispensable to China's goal to globalise the Arctic region and to complete the Polar Silk Road (PSR) in the coming years and decade(s). Russia is a conduit to connecting the PSR with Western Europe. However, Beijing's primary interests lie in robust and cooperative bilateral relations with the Arctic European states, enabling it to flexibly react to future external developments and opportunities, to promote the globalization of, and China's access to, the Arctic.

International City Cooperation in the Fight Against Covid-19: Behind the Scenes Security Providers

Thu, 17 Sep 2020 04:11:21 GMT

title: International City Cooperation in the Fight Against Covid-19: Behind the Scenes Security Providers abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of society and nearly every unit of government. Much discussion has occurred regarding how to best protect and equip front-line and essential workers, but what about front-line and essential governments? Arguably the most important governments in pandemic response are city governments. Although most international debate surrounding governmental and societal prevention and response to the pandemic has centered around the nation-state or national leaders, this paper takes a different direction. Instead we focus on pandemic initiatives that have mostly occurred ‘behind the scenes.’ Cities, without the general public’s realization, have been at the forefront of international cooperation in the fight against Covid19. This paper focuses on US, Chinese, and Taiwanese cities in order to shine light on the phenomenon of city diplomacy and offers policy recommendations to various stakeholders in city diplomacy, including local authorities, international organizations, academia, and journalists.

China in the Eyes of Poles: Discourse Analysis of Press and Interviews

Sat, 11 Apr 2020 04:11:57 GMT

title: China in the Eyes of Poles: Discourse Analysis of Press and Interviews abstract: This project examines the most recent picture of China and Taiwan among the elites and general public in Poland. The goal is to contribute to the understanding of the image of China and Taiwan in Polish society and the relationship between this image and Warsaw‘s policies towards Beijing and Taipei. This study is based on the assumption derived from the constructivist theory, according to which, the picture of China and Taiwan in Polish society and policies towards them are mutually related, since the discourses on the Asian countries perform various functions, including enabling, limiting or justifying. The methods and techniques for analysis are grounded in media research and discourse analysis. The data for analysis comes from the monitoring of the three daily and three weekly papers in the period of one year as well as from the semi- structured elite interviews. This research will not only enrich literature on relations between Poland and China and provide practical knowledge for the Polish decision makers but also contribute to the research on the perception of China in international relations as well as to the understanding of the mechanisms behind the news creation and consumption on China and Taiwan in Polish media.

Taipei’s soft power at work: The picture of Taiwan in Polish dailies Gazeta Wyborcza and Rzeczpospolita

霸權的困境：從貿易-權力轉移理論看霸權戰爭

Tue, 07 Jan 2020 04:12:04 GMT

title: 霸權的困境：從貿易-權力轉移理論看霸權戰爭 abstract: 權力比真能如同霸權轉移理論或霸權戰爭理論所述，決定霸權戰爭的發生嗎？本文認為權力比並不真能完整說明霸權戰爭的發生，真正要關注的應該是挑戰國對外經濟政策。若霸權國與挑戰國的對外經濟政策具協調性，即使權力比接近，霸權戰爭的可能性依然不高；反之，若彼此的對外經濟政策不具協調性，戰爭機率便會顯著地增加。本文主要檢視1870-1913年間英國、德國與美國的對外經濟政策，並運用最大相似系統設計研究法(most similar system design)比較美國與德國的對外經濟政策：兩國都具高度經濟成長，兩國都大幅改善軍事權力，兩國在這段時期也都具一定程度稱霸區域的野心，但因為對外經濟政策的發展，產生與英國之間不同的經濟關係，進而影響到霸權戰爭的發生。

Tue, 07 Jan 2020 04:10:55 GMT

title: 書評：Democracy Against Domination〔民主對抗宰制〕 abstract: 2008年美國金融危機不但重創全球經濟，更重要的是，民眾以及部份學者開始質疑民主政治與資本主義，認為美國金融危機的形成和政府回應的政策都顯示了民主政治下偏袒資本階級的弊端。2013年諾蘭．麥卡蒂（Nolan McCarty）、凱斯．普爾（Keith T. Poole）和霍華德．羅森塔爾（Howard Rosenthan）合著的《政治泡沫—金融危機和美國民主的失敗》（Political Bubbles: Financial Crises and the Failure of Democracy）就是經典的例子。民主政治和資本主義的組合似乎出現了信心危機，如何解決金融危機問題並且能夠重拾民眾對於民主政治和資本主義的信心成為一個重要的課題。然而，從政治經濟學的角度來說，這個課題並不容易解決。長久以來，治理政策該以市場還是以政府為中心的爭議，一直沒有停歇，也一直沒有共識。塞比爾．拉赫曼（K. Sabeel Rahman）的《民主對抗宰制》（Democracy against Domination）即嘗試從民主理論回應民主危機與經濟治理（economic governance）的課題，並認為解決美國在2008年金融危機中所產生的民主危機並不是放棄民主，面對失序的經濟治理與民主政治，最佳的解方應是重構美國民主，重構後的民主政治才能將經濟治理導向正軌。也因為這樣的努力，《民主對抗宰制》一書獲得美國政治學年會2018年Robert A. Dahl Award年度最佳著作的殊榮。

Adapting to the changing Arctic? The European Union, the Nordics, and the Barents Governance Mosaic

Tue, 07 Jan 2020 04:10:53 GMT

title: Adapting to the changing Arctic? The European Union, the Nordics, and the Barents Governance Mosaic abstract: The Arctic region is significantly affected by rising temperatures and melting ice due to climate change, which provides immense economic opportunities for stakeholders within and outside the Arctic. China and Russia have already put themselves in a good position regarding these opportunities, while the European Union (EU) struggles to find its place in its Northern periphery. A decade ago, the European Commission issued its first policy paper on the Arctic region. The European Commission developed a northern maritime and Arctic policy that will support cooperation in the Euro-Arctic area and give a voice to, and align with, the Nordic countries in the EU. Ten years later, the general contours of a European Arctic strategy have appeared. The EU’s Arctic policy has shifted from a more general Arctic approach, towards the Euro-Arctic region, especially towards the Barents Sea. This paper experiments with the idea of an emerging Barents Governance Mosaic (BGM) that consists of various actors and mechanisms involved in interconnected, but non-hierarchical, areas the EU may further develop to improve its role in the Arctic and Arctic governance as a whole.

The EU's Connectivity Strategy towards ASEAN: Is a 'European Way' feasible?

Tue, 07 Jan 2020 04:10:51 GMT

title: The EU's Connectivity Strategy towards ASEAN: Is a 'European Way' feasible? abstract: Connectivity is a new key concept in the European Union (EU)’s economic diplomacy towards Asia. In addition to infrastructure of all sorts, it comprises digital, economic regulatory and societal connectivity. The EU Commission promotes a ‘European way’ in its new Asia strategy, which emphasizes a sustainable, comprehensive and international rule-based approach. The connectivity strategy is not least an answer to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), an enormous unregulated Eurasian infrastructure diplomacy project that has enabled China to become perceived as the EU’s systemic rival. This article analyses these three ‘European way’ dimensions to explore the potential of the connectivity strategy regarding the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). While ASEAN governments have become more cautious about China’s BRI, they also represent uneasy partners for the EU’s high-standards connectivity strategy. Leaning on the concept of hybrid interregionalism, this article argues that for a ‘European Way’ to emerge, the EU must coordinate its policies with key actors both within and as regards ASEAN, and especially with governments that share similar values, agreements and concerns regarding the BRI in the East Asian political economy.
