• East Asia's Dynamic Economies , University of Pittsburgh
  Despite recent financial crises and current economic disarray, East Asia dominates the list of nations that have experienced rapid output and income growth since World War II. East Asia's dynamism creates challenges as well as opportunities for the United States. East Asia's experience generates new views about the economic prospects for poor nations, the relationship between government management and economic growth, the risks and benefits associated with globalization, and the nature of capitalism. This course investigates these issues by reviewing the development of individual East Asian nations, comparing patterns of economic growth within Asia, highlighting institutional differences between East Asia and the United States, and studying the global consequences Asian economic expansion. In 2003, the course will cover Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and China.

• East Asian Financial Cooperation , Henning, C. Randall
  Since the financial crisis in the late 1990s, Asian governments have been considering strengthening regional monetary and financial cooperation. Proposals have ranged from the Asian Monetary Fund to common currencies. During the past two years, China, Japan, Korea, and the member-states of ASEAN have established a set of financial facilities under an agreement made in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The Chiang Mai Initiative (CMI) mobilizes a portion of the very large reserve holdings of its members for financial stabilization in a crisis. Organized under the \"ASEAN plus three\" grouping, these arrangements do not include the United States or other countries outside the region.The CMI thus raises several important questions: Under what terms will financing be extended on a regional basis? Is it likely to stabilize or destabilize international capital flows? What will CMI’s relationship be to the International Monetary Fund and other official financial institutions? How should governments build on these arrangements in the future? Could they provide the basis for broader integration of the East Asian region?This study examines the case for and against regional financial arrangements in East Asia, describes the CMI, compares it to financial arrangements in other regions, and recommends how the Initiative can preserve its complementarity to multilateral institutions and be strengthened in the future. The study specifically addresses the concerns of Americans, Europeans, and multilateral organizations, assessing the pros and cons of such regional financial arrangements for the global system.

• Law, Capitalism and Power in Asia: The Rule of Law and Legal Institutions , Jayasuriya, Kanishka ed.
  Some governments in East Asia claim that the rule of law is a distinctive characteristic of their political system. Major multilateral agencies such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank spend considerable resources on the provision of legal reform projects. There is an assumption that the rule of law will result in a transition to market-based economies and even democracy, but is this really true for Asia? In this challenging and provocative new study the authors contest that the liberal notion of the rule of law regulating the exercise of power is unlikely to come about in much of East Asia. Indeed, they argue that the rule of law is more likely to provide political elites with the means to control civil society more closely. In this broad-ranging volume a comparative approach is used to examine the major states of East Asia in both civil and common law jurisdiction.

• Pax-Americana-led Macro-Clustering and Flying-Geese-Style Catch-Up in East Asia: Mechanisms of Regionalized Endogenous Growth , Ozawa, Terutomo
  Note: In order to access the paper, select “Publications” from the Menu on the left and choose “Working Papers.” Rapid growth in East Asia (despite the 1997-98 crises) has been unique as it is clustered so intensively only in that particular region. The flying- geese model of industrial upgrading is applied to the emergence of Pax-Americana- led growth clustering. The high propensity of the U.S. to transplant manufacturing overseas, Japan’s roles of structural intermediator and capacity augmenter, and catching- up economies’ public policies are the key co-determinants of regionalized endogenous growth in East Asia.

• New Migrations, Ethnicity and Nationalism in Southeast and East Asia , Castles, Stephen
  The rapidly increasing mobility of the population is a central aspect of the widespread social transformations occurring in East and Southeast Asia. This involves migrations of many types: migrant workers, business people, professionals, family members or refugees. It also takes place across many scales, from internal, to neighbouring countries or intercontinental. Much migration is the result of labourrecruitment by governments and employers, but it is rapidly becomes a selfsustaining process. Two factors, the emergence of social networks linking migrants and the development of a ‘migration industry? including agents and brokers of all kinds, tend to perpetuate migration flows. In this context, government immigration policies are often unsuccessful. Immigrant policies (e.g. policies concerning the situation of foreign residents) are generally reactive, ad hoc, and often ineffective.

In addition to being an interactive course, it is also interdisciplinary, drawing on the methodologies of a number of fields such as history, philosophy, economics, and political science. Specific topics that will be focused on this semester include the regional context, the East Asian financial crisis, human rights, consumer society, welfare, security, and mass media/popular culture.

• Globalization and Nontraditional Security Issues: A Study of Human and Drug Trafficking in East Asia , Emmers, Ralf
  From the author's abstract: "East Asia faces a series of non-traditional security challenges that include environmental concerns, infectious diseases and transnational crime. Rather than creating such forms of insecurity, the process ofÊglobalization has singifcantly amplified their spread and impact and accelerated their sginificance. This paper focuses on illicit drug and human trafficking in China and the Southeast Asian countries and examines these categories of tranational crime in the context of a globalizing world. It argues that the potection of state and human security against drug and people trafficking will increasingly require effective transnational cooperation and some surrendering of state sovereignty. The paper reflects on the depth of such problems in East Asia by analyzing the production, distribution and consumption of narcotics as well as the trafficking of women in the region. It notes an increasing level of multilateral cooperation in East Asia to combat human and drug trafficking. Yet, in addition to the ongoing development of capacity-building and soft mechanisms of cooperation, deeper law enforcement and judiciary collaboration is required at a multilateral level to address these non-traditional security challenges."
