They have attracted much academic and political interest independently, yet their interactions have not been explored. This project examines how China's environmental NGOs respond to the Internet in their efforts to solve environmental problems and achieve organizational growth. By exploring the role of the Internet in networking, mobilization, citizen education, and the politicization of environmental issues, the analysis will show that the wedding of civil society organizations with new information technologies may strengthen the institutional infrastructures for grassroots democratic participation in China.

• Auer, James , Vanderbilt University
  Director of the Center of US-Japan Studies and Cooperation, Research Professor of the Management of Technology, Vanderbilt School of Engineering He contributed to the strengthening of the U.S.-Japan alliance by coordinating with the Suzuki Cabinet in its policy of defending 1000-mile sea lanes, as well as working on the negotiations concerning Japan\'s FS-X. He has also researched and published on the relationship between the two nations, taking a firm stance as one of the strongest American anti-revisionists of the 1990s. His view is that the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty is a kind of insurance policy for the two largest economic powers in the world. He finds that the alliance played an important role in winning the Cold War, and will be irreplaceable for stability of the region in the future. In addition, Dr. Auer posits that it is necessity that Japan exercise its right of collective self-defense--a right proscribed under current government policy--in order for Japan to fulfill its responsibilities towards worldwide security under the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty.

• Ducke, Isa , German Institute for Japan Studies
  Research Fellow, German Institute for Japanese Studies In spite of the close proximity or possibly because of it Japan's relationship with other Asian countries is rather tense. This is largely due to historical issues and Japan's dealing with these issues. By comparison, economic or security considerations appear to be more "substantial" factors in Japan's foreign policy, and yet they are often shaped by those "soft issues". This becomes particularly clear in relations between Japan and other Asian countries. Of course, the special relationship between Japan and the US also plays a role in relations between Japan and Asia. Therefore, references to the "Asia-Pacific" rather than Asia alone as a focus of Japanese foreign policy are frequent.

One is that of critical theory and its varied anatomies of the crises of the modern (most emblematically revealed by fascism). Her work on mass media, capitalism, and everyday life is informed by these approaches. Another, and related to her interests in critical theory, is her concern with questions of representation and interpretation opened up by semiotic and post-semiotic protocols of reading and textual analysis. Finally, she is committed to keeping the crucial importance of historical reflection in the forefront of her research, teaching, and ethnographic practice.

Courses cover Japanese history, politics, economics, society, business, law, anthropology, the arts and art history, literature, linguistics, and civilization.

Courses in these departments focus on readings in literature and the humanities, natural and technical sciences, and the social sciences.

This study examines the diffusion and effects of systemic norms of sexual non-discrimination on state behaviour. In particular, it investigates why these norms on the whole have had a relatively limited influence on state behaviour at a time when international human rights norms in general have increasingly defined what constitutes a legitimate state in international society. Her research interests also include international relations theory, and transitional justice and gender.

  Insook Kwon is not just an expert on human rights and women's studies. She has also personally experienced the effects of governmental injustice on citizens. At Seoul National University, she became active in the pro-democracy movement in South Korea, involved in smuggling students into factories in order to educate them about their rights. To pursue such work further, she left the university during her senior year. During the 1980's, Kwon became a full-fledged civil and human rights activist in South Korea and was arrested for her work in 1985. Before long she became a symbol for the democracy movement when, rather than become a victim of military tactics, she brought charges against the police who had tortured her during her prison time. Her accusations soon resulted in a public outcry against the government. Named "Woman of the Year" of Korea in 1986, she became the driving force behind the collapse of South Korea's military government a year later. Recently she received her PhD in Women's Studies from Clark University and was also named one of twenty Most Distinguished Women Public Figures of the 20th Century in South Korea by the Munhwa Broadcasting Company (MBC).

Her dissertation, "Social Mobilization in Post-Leninist Societies: The Rise and Fall of the Anti-Nuclear power Movement in the USSR," is a fascinating study of the emergence of environmental activism in the USSR in the Gorbachev period, which offers an intriguing explanation of how and why it ultimately took the form of nationalist mobilization against Soviet rule. The dissertation was published as a book titled "Eco-Nationalism: Antinuclear Activism and National Identity in Russian, Lithuania, and Ukraine," and awarded the 1997 Marshall Shulman Book Prize. In addition to this book, she published a number of articles in refereed journals, and has been an active presenter and participant at professional conferences. She is currently embarking on a much more ambitious global study, examining in greater detail how environmentalism may be linked to a variety of subgroup identities across a broad spectrum of political settings and the implications of this linkage for the achievement of domestic and international environmental policy objectives.
