• 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.

• 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."

• Political Economy of East Asia , Guo, Gang
  This course is an introduction to the political economy of East Asia. In the past decades the economies of East Asia (broadly defined to include all the Asian countries east of Myanmar) have generally performed well compared with the rest of the world. Political scientists and economists, among others, have offered various and often opposing explanations for East Asia's high growth, as well as for the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 - 1998. A large part of the debates center on the role of the state in the economic development of East Asia. Therefore, starting with an overview of the performance of East Asian economies, this course shall examine the development strategies and policies of the major economies in the region. Conflicting arguments shall be discussed and analyzed and by the end of the semester students are expected to have developed sufficiently sophisticated skills and understanding for their further study of the political economy of East Asia.

• Comparative Law: East Asia , University of Pennsylvania
  The nations of East Asia are often regarded as fearsome rivals in the international economy, enviable models of social order and economic success, unintelligibly foreign cultures, or disconcertingly repressive social or political systems. Their laws and legal systems have receive less notice and are often assumed to be of little significance, despite a strong or growing concern for law within those countries. This course examines the legal systems and the roles of law in East Asia. It begins with an overview of concepts of law and government in the major cultural traditions in the region, and of the impact of Western ideas and the pressures of economic and political change from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. Most of the course considers, from a comparative and analytical perspective, selected topics in contemporary law, such as criminal law and process, informal sanctions and methods of social control, contracts (and alternatives to contract), economic regulation, mechanisms for government accountability and responsiveness, civil liberties, and discrimination and group-based rights. The materials focus on China, Japan, and Malaysia as examples of the major legal systems and legal traditions in East Asia. For comparison, selected American materials are also included. Discussion/lecture format. Class participation will count in grading. The exam will be open-book, essay. A paper may be substituted for the exam. (With the instructors's permission, the paper may be used to satisfy the Senior Writing requirement.)

• Democracy and Certainty , Johns Hopkins University
  The course examines the relationship between democracy and certainty in modern politics. What are the grounds for certainty in politics and morality? Can democratic values claim to be grounded in certaintities? What is the difference between democratic certainty and religious or theological certainty? Democracy encourages skepticism and self-questioning: but are there limits to how much doubt democracy can tolerate, and how can we determine these limits? Such questions and arguments will be examined through close study of ten texts, drawn from a variety of cultural and historical contexts. Offered Spring 05

• East Asia and the USA , Stavis, Ben
  This course will introduce students to East Asia (principally Japan and the \"four dragons).  The course will examine the policies which led Pacific Rim countries to economic success.  We will also examine the problems with this strategy, which have led to financial collapse and to stagnation in Japan during much of the 1990s.   The vigorous economic growth of China, coupled with resurgence of nationalism  in Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea have led to complex new patterns.  Muslim fundamentalism in Southeast Asia and North Korea\'s nuclear gambit sharpen strategic issues.  In short, this critical region for U.S. economic and strategic security is now in a complex flux.   The U.S. was drawn into three large wars in Asia in the last century; it has many troops in Asia now.  Will we be drawn into another Asian war?

• Ooi, Su-Mei , Ooi, Su-Mei
  Su-Mei Ooi's dissertation takes as its puzzle the fact that Taiwan and South Korea became democratic only in the late 1980s whilst Singapore failed to do so at all. This is a puzzle insofar as all three countries had by the 1970s reached what Samuel Huntington called the “political transition zone” (middle-income range) without showing any indication of democratization. However, by the 1980s, the paths taken by South Korea and Taiwan, on the one hand, and Singapore on the other had begun to diverge radically. While most scholarship consider democratization a primarily domestic affair, the fact that Taiwan and South Korea embarked on the road to democracy precisely at a time when the thawing of the Cold War was prompting scholars to advocate the idea of “the end of history” seems to suggest that the importance of international factors had been underestimated. It is this gap in the scholarship on democratic development that my dissertation will fill.

• Remembering and Forgetting , Gong, Gerrit W. ed.
  Conflicts that have divided parts of East Asia for the past 50 years remain unresolved: competing claims between China and Taiwan, past Japanese militarism and colonialism in the region, and the division of Korea into two ideologically opposed states. Memories of the events that gave rise to these conflicts are contested. Key to working through these memories, within and between nations, is the dialectical process of remembering and forgetting, which will deeply influence international relations in the region into the next century.

Finally, it will examine the implications of the US-led campaign against terrorism, both for East Asian security in general and for the future of the American regional presence in particular.
