Soft Hegemony
Alongside China’s rise, the transformation of the East Asian order has become a shared concern among regional states. Given the high costs associated with replacing US hegemony and securing acceptance from other countries, China’s neighbourhood diplomacy in the Xi era seeks to construct a form of soft hegemony. Constrained by the conditions in East Asia, this soft hegemony is characterised by coordination and ambiguity, meaning that China must wo…
South Korea’s Public Diplomacy towards Japan during the 1973–1975 Crisis
This article examines South Korea’s strategic communication directed at a Japanese audience during the 1973–1975 crisis in bilateral relations through an analysis of a journal established by the Korean government as a tool of public diplomacy and directed at a Japanese audience. Despite Seoul’s acute dependence on Japanese economic aid and technology, and its stated goal of promoting partnership and cooperation, the narratives presented in the jo…
Unlocking the Potential of Subregional Cooperation towards Enhanced Connectivity in Southeast Asia
Subregional cooperation has emerged as a global phenomenon since the 1990s, including in Southeast Asia. Initiatives such as the Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area ( BIMP - EAGA ) expects to play a key role in enhancing connectivity across the region. This research examines how the BIMP - EAGA subregional cooperation contributes to ASEAN ’s regional connectivity. Previous studies mostly looked at BIMP - EAGA ’…
Services Trade Liberalisation in RCEP
The liberalisation of services has been central to the RCEP process, reflecting the interests of key stakeholders involved in the negotiations. The outcome of RCEP can be viewed as a political-economic balance that harmonises the diverse interests of its member countries. However, the agreement is sometimes criticised for being somewhat of a ‘talking shop’, offering few tangible steps beyond what has already been established in existing agreement…
Zionism and Indigeneity in Eastern Indonesia
This contribution explores the case of a street fight in an eastern Indonesian province in which pro-Palestine protesters clashed with a group of activists for indigenous religion. The event showcased how the Palestinian struggle is received through a web of polarising and religionising discourses in a seemingly distant context, such as that of eastern Indonesia, and how different and unexpected threads of solidarity are established locally. The …
The Dynamics of Overlapping Agreements
This study analyses the evolution of East Asia’s trade architecture. While existing research examines individual agreements, little explains how they interact within a broader regional system. Using historical sequencing and institutional layering, this study shows that ASEAN +1 comprehensive economic cooperation/partnerships ( CEP s) emerged as early, flexible responses to interdependence and competitive liberalisation, but their limited scope c…
From Structural Resistance to the Performance of Crisis
Although literature on Taiwanese populism often characterises it as a bottom-up civic movement, this paper argues it has evolved into a top-down political communication strategy employed by political actors. Drawing on Moffitt’s populism as a political style, this paper introduces the novel concept of ‘imaginary anti-authoritarianism’ to characterise Taiwan’s latest populist dynamics. This concept explains how these actors manipulate the spectre …
RCEP and Cambodia’s Path to Economic Growth
This paper examines Cambodia’s participation in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership ( RCEP ), a mega-regional trade agreement aimed at deepening economic integration in ASEAN and its key partners. Focusing on Cambodia as one of ASEAN ’s less-developed and relatively under-studied members in the RCEP literature, the study analyses the opportunities and constraints associated with leveraging RCEP ’s provisions three years after its entr…
From Symbolic to Embodied Spaces
Through ethnographic observations of funerary practices and everyday life, this article highlights how courtyards function as in-between modes in social cohesion, economic production, and political negotiations. The paper-offering economy, particularly among households engaged in mortuary rituals, exemplifies how courtyards enable small-scale capitalist production. Additionally, the article explores the ‘courtyard political practice mode’, where …
Japan’s ‘Community-Based Small-Scale Foster Homes
This article examines the institutionalisation of Japan’s ‘community-based small-scale foster homes’ using the multiple streams framework. Unlike many OECD countries that prioritise foster families, Japan developed intermediate services between family-based and institutional care. Drawing on the three streams of the framework, this study finds that early problematisation by facility operators and precursor policies laid the groundwork, but conver…
Unpacking ‘Workplace Gaslighting’ as Labour Control in China’s White-Collar Workplace
This article develops the concept of ‘workplace gaslighting’ to illustrate a sophisticated form of despotic control between direct coercion and consent generation, adding a conceptual tool in labour process analysis. Drawing on discussions on social media, it demonstrates how workplace gaslighting combines coercion (managerial authority, close supervision, and vertical bullying) with emotional manipulation (ostensible caring and rewarding from ma…
Mobilising Knowledge
The full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance triggered a fundamental reassessment of the university’s role in times of national crisis. Between 1937 and 1945, Chinese higher education experienced a functional shift from relatively autonomous intellectual enclaves to active instruments of state mobilisation. This study conceptualises universities as contested arenas wherein state imperatives, academic autonomy, and societal needs were dynamica…
Contemplating Career Exit among Senior Women in Malaysian STEM
Senior women in STEM leadership roles in Malaysia remain scarce, and those who attain such positions often face complex pressures that may prompt them to consider exiting their careers. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach, this study explores career exit contemplation among 18 senior Malaysian women in STEM . In-depth interviews yielded a core category of ‘contemplating career exit’, underpinned by leadership fatigue and role dissonan…

Insights into Asian Integration
This study reviews 150 empirical works on economic and monetary integration in East/Southeast Asia, regions increasingly seen as candidates for deeper cooperation due to strong trade and institutional ties. It addresses two questions: (1) whether shock symmetry and trade integration justify a monetary union despite fiscal asymmetries, and (2) how methodological differences (e.g., business cycle sync vs. cointegration) and temporal shifts (pre/pos…
RCEP as a Catalyst for Asean Integration and a Model for Global Trade Cooperation
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership ( RCEP ) is a vital framework in furthering regional and global economic integration amidst heightened protectionism and anti-globalisation sentiments. The paper tries to discern how the RCEP , as one of the largest trade agreements in the world, serves to stimulate economic integration within the Asia-Pacific area through trade liberalisation, encouraging investment flows, and integrating regional …
RCEP versus CPTPP
The first two decades of the 21st century saw a process of competitive regionalisation going on in the Asia-Pacific region. On the one side, there has been the evolution of the ASEAN plus-system leading to the mega regional Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership ( RCEP ), and on the other side there is the originally P4-founded, then US -driven Trans-Pacific Partnership ( TPP ) which led to the open and dynamic CPTPP -11. From an ASEAN persp…
From Crisis to Connectivity
This article introduces the special issue ‘From Crisis to Connectivity’ by situating its contributions within a broader historical analysis of East and Southeast Asia’s regional integration. It argues that contemporary frameworks such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership ( RCEP ) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership ( CPTPP ) represent the cumulative outcome of decades of institutional learni…
Tracing Global Value Chains in the RCEP Domain
In the East Asia-Pacific region, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership ( RCEP ) agreement is expected to strengthen trade related to regional value chains ( RVC s) amongst RCEP members through reductions in tariff and non-tariff measures, implementation of liberal rules of origin (RoO), and trade cost reductions. This paper evaluates more comprehensive global value chain ( GVC ) indicators from the OECD Trade in Value Added (TiVA) datab…
The Influences of Confucian Heritage Culture on Education and Teaching Activities in Vietnam
This paper investigates the influence of Confucian heritage culture on education and teaching activities in Vietnam, particularly within the context of the country’s transition toward competency-based curricula. While prior studies have predominantly focused on pedagogical methods or curriculum design, there remains a significant gap in examining how deeply-rooted cultural values shape the implementation of education reform. This paper addresses …

Mediating Resistance among Productive Paradoxes
Resistance to sustainable development policies in authoritarian contexts is a global phenomenon. In Vietnam, the state tries to prevent resistance using repressive-responsive measures and instrumentalises the sustainable development discourse under its ecological modernisation program to frame the measures. NGO s and communities may only participate in governance processes within boundaries and narratives defined by the Vietnamese state. The sust…

Changed in Migration? Philippine Return Migrants and (Un)Democratic Remittances
The link between development and migration has been termed the 'new development mantra'. Studies on the subject have so far mostly focused on economic remittances, and the potential consequences of return migration on democratisation have been rarely touched upon. This article attests the potential of the migration experience to affect migrants' attitudes towards democracy, thus playing an important role in the diffuse support needed for democrac…
Temporary Migration and Political Remittances
The starting point in exploring possible linkages between migration and democratisation in this paper is the role of collective organisations in influencing and changing the direction and practice of political activism aimed at advancing the rights of migrants as foreign workers. Given the specific context of my discussion being temporary contract migration—the predominant form of (legal) economic migration in Asia today—taking a transnational pe…
Rescuing the Empire
This paper takes modern China's dilemma of how to deal with the legacy of its imperial past as the starting point for a discussion of the drawn-out re-creation of China in the twentieth century. The particular focus is on the important role of non-Han ethnic minorities in this process. It is pointed out that the non-recognition and forced assimilation of all such minorities, in favour of a unified citizenship on an imagined European, American or …
Constructing a New Image. Hallyu in Taiwan
This paper discusses how hallyu—the recent influx of Korean popular culture in Taiwan—has transformed the image of South Korea among the people of Taiwan. South Korea and Taiwan share a similar historical past. Nevertheless, the Taiwanese did not have a positive image of South Korea after 1992, when South Korea broke off diplomatic relations with Taiwan in order to establish diplomatic relations with mainland China. This work is based on ethnogra…
Postcolonial Capitalism and the Politics of Dispossession
This article examines the trajectory of struggles over land and resources in Dawei, a town in southern Myanmar. The site of a major special economic zone project, Dawei has seen sustained mobilisation around displacement, dispossession and environmental degradation, against the backdrop of national political and economic reforms. Recently, scholars have argued that earlier visions of postcolonial transition have lost their empirical and political…
Sub-Regional Cooperation in Southeast Asia
The paper analyses the security dimension of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) by taking into account traditional as well as non-traditional security issues. The Greater Mekong Subregion, which was established in 1992 at the initiative of the ADB, emerged after the Cold War in the wake of the so-called new regionalism as one of the growth triangles within ASEAN. Participating countries/regions are China's Yunnan province, Myanmar, Thailand, Viet…
State-led Migration, Democratic Legitimacy, and Deterritorialization
Developing countries are increasingly facilitating migration as a way of generating remittances for the home economy. The Philippines serves as a paradigmatic example, inaugurating a labour export scheme in 1973 that has grown each year and resulted in nearly 25 per cent of the labour force working abroad. The institutionalization of this labour export policy, along with changes in citizenship and voting laws, has led to the increasing deterritor…
Me and My Family
This article discusses how young people born and raised in rural areas of China perceive and account for individual choice and responsibility in relation to their family and the state. Based on personal narratives of more than 100 young people, the article shows how concepts of freedom, independence, free love and personal development are widespread among young villagers who are searching, not merely for economic prosperity, but for a self-fulfil…
Illegal Construction in Hanoi and Hanoi's Wards
In the drama of negotiation of state boundaries, the role of local administrators as mediators is indispensable. They mediate between state demands for more discipline and societal demands for more liberties. Their ability and willingness to enforce determines the extent of state power. They are a particular type of elites chosen by the state to administer; yet often they have an irrational and morally corrupt relationship with their subjects. Th…

Navigating Migrant Trajectories through Private Actors
Recent research on the ‘migration industry’ has provided a means to interrogate how private actors come to be used as a means to facilitate, direct and control migration. Both through incorporating private actors into security functions and outsourcing certain functions to labour brokers, the use of migration industry actors is an important part of the ways in which the state works to maintain its sovereign control over territory and the ways peo…
Regime Change and Foreign Policy
Regime change and foreign policy adjustments have been closely intertwined in Myanmar’s recent experience. Since 2011, domestic political transition has been paralleled by changes in the country’s foreign policy posture, with Naypyitaw reconsidering its dependence on Beijing while seeking rapprochement with Washington. Taking Myanmar as a case study, this essay aims to address the theoretical issue of how regime change influences the foreign poli…
Staying or Moving
James C. Scott claimed that upland Southeast Asians consider their good life as dependent on their autonomy from the state. Given that the state today is present in various forms in the uplands, current uplanders can be considered as post-Zomian. Staying and moving represent two contrastive values in this region whose realisation serves to make a good life possible. This article considers these values through the issue of resettlement in Laos, a …
Democratisation Through International Migration? Explorative Thoughts on a Novel Research Agenda
The article provides an introduction into this EJEAS issue on democratisation and international migration. Third Wave democratisation and the recent unprecedented increase in international labour migration may have the same structural origins, but so far few attempts have been made to link the two research agendas. One explanation might be that existing research on democratisation has neglected the exogenous dimension, and that migration research…
He Is He, and I Am I
China's rural elderly strongly feel the tension between the life patterns they had expected to follow and the risks and possibilities presented by a more dynamic and individualised society. This paper discusses how the elderly react to the rapid changes in intergenerational relations. The focus is on their strategies towards the two most common types of living arrangements during old age: maintaining an independent household, and living with a so…
Phibun Songkhram And Thai Nationalism in the Fascist Era
During the late 1930s a political style, generally called 'fascist,' aimed at mobilising nations in the pursuit of expansionist aims had a profound impact around the world. Based on the apparent success of Germany, Italy, and Japan and the impending victory of Francisco Franco's forces in the Spanish Civil War, by early 1939 many observers saw fascism as the wave of the future. Among the Asian political leaders strongly influenced by the success …
Rural Life in Late Socialism
Late socialist countries are transforming faster than ever. Across China, Laos and Vietnam, where market economies coexist with socialist political rhetoric and the Communist party state’s rule, sweeping processes of change open up new vistas of imaginaries of the future alongside uncertainty and anxiety. These countries are three of very few living examples that combine capitalist economics with party state politics. Consequently, societal trans…
Mahathirism and Its Legacy in Malaysia’s Foreign Policy
The foreign policy style of Malaysia’s fourth prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad (1981–2003), was controversial in many instances, but the country’s influence and leverage in regional and global affairs had been remarkable for a country of its size. Despite initial outcries within Malaysia’s neighbourhood, Mahathir’s contributions to a wider East Asian regionalism are a lasting legacy. In the decade that has passed since Mahathir stepped down, Mala…
The Double Task
Timor-Leste has been facing the arduous task of building a viable nation-state since the country's 2002 restoration of independence. The dual challenge consists of interdependent efforts at nation-building and state-building. The author discusses both terms with regard to their relevance to public education and economic development. He raises the question of why nation-building and state-building experience rather contrary prioritisations in thes…
Migrant Domestic Workers as ‘Agents’ of Development in Asia
Temporary contract migration represents the predominant form of legal migration policy in Asia. With its rationale of the filling of jobs and provision of income-generating opportunities, it is linked to the migration–development nexus debate. This paper focuses on the impact of migrants’ agency as development actors within a transnational sphere. The mainstream migration–development nexus debate and policy prescriptions imagine diaspora groups a…
In Search of Stability
This article accounts for how authoritarian regimes use elections to achieve stability (and, thus, longevity). At the domestic level, elections are deployed to either feign conformity to established rules and/or shared beliefs about how political power should be maintained or mobilise citizens in a unanimous show of manufactured support for the ruling party. At the international level, elections are employed to simulate compliance to internationa…
The European Union Model’s Influence in Asia after the Global Financial Crisis
The European Union (EU) has exerted a powerful influence over the international system. Often overlooked is that this influence has not always operated in the manner the architects and admirers of the EU might have hoped. Instead, the diffusion of European norms and the policy transfer of the EU model of regional integration is mediated by triangular processes in Asia of (1) selective rule-taking, (2) translation and adaption, and (3) modifying e…
Scientising Relief
The Shanghai Refugee Children Nutritional Aid Committee, formed in 1937, sought to improve refugee children’s nutritional health by making and distributing a scientifically tested soybean milk and soybean cakes. By 1942, the Committee had adopted a national platform and changed its moniker to the Chinese Nutritional Aid Council, with plans to open offices and nutrition clinics in Chongqing, Chengdu, Guiyang and Kunming. This paper argues that in …
China and the Iranian Nuclear Crisis
This article analyses, the complex relationship between Tehran, Beijing and Washington on the Iranian nuclear issue. Indeed, China's policy towards Iran has often been described as ambiguous, in supporting Washington, on the one hand, while protecting Tehran, on the other hand. In this article, we argue that, in fact, Beijing policy vis-a-vis Tehran depends on the state of its relationships with Washington. Indeed, a closer analysis shows that Ch…
The Women's Movement and the Transformation of the Family Law in South Korea. Interactions Between Local, National and Global Structures
This paper examines the revision of the family law and the abolition of the head-of-family system in South Korea in 2005. Although the 1948 constitution guaranteed gender equality and women's suffrage, the family law remained male-oriented and discriminatory. Fifty years of struggle for the revision of the family law show that the patrilineal familial hierarchy is not merely a product of 'outdated' values, but deeply rooted and continually practi…

The Falun Gong in the New World
Despite the polarised debate which has raged in the media over whether the Chinese spiritual movement Falun Gong should be seen as an ‘evil cult’ or as an innocent ‘cultivation system’, there is little doubt that most objective Western scholars would categorise Falun Gong as a new religious movement (many of which have also been accused rightly or wrongly of being ‘cults’ or ‘sects’). Indeed, the controversy surrounding Falun Gong has attracted c…
In My Heart I Opposed Opium’
The Wang Jingwei government has been reviled as the Chinese collaborationist regime par excellence, and one of the major indictments against it was its involvement with the alleged Japanese ‘narcotisation policy’. The politics of collaboration, however, were complex, and are not fully captured by a one-dimensional portrayal of the leading collaborators as ‘national traitors’. The Wang Jingwei government was, indeed, complicit in facilitating the …
Sacred or Profane? The Compassion Relief Movement’s Transnationalism in Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, and the United States
The Buddhist Compassion Relief Foundation ( Tzu-Chi or Ciji ) is primarily a lay Buddhist movement that focuses on relieving human suffering through secular action. Inspired and led by a Buddhist nun, Compassion Relief is at present the largest formal association in Taiwan, with increasing overseas expansion: in the last decade, Compassion Relief has persistently delivered relief goods to different contents, and overseas Chinese, especially emigr…

Afterword
How far can wings of belief carry us? What kinds of new social and moral systems evolve out of transnational religious movements? The recent literature on globalisation has shown only little interest in religion, in spite of the cutting-edge global role of beliefs like evangelical Christianity. The literature has attended even less to the movement of non-Western traditions. We do, however, have numerous alternative models of how global ideas in g…
Moving Targets
This paper addresses the question of proselytism as an active practice of shaping other people’s identities. Specifically, it looks at the identity discourse promoted by ethnic Chinese evangelicals and compares it to that of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Both Christian churches proselytise among contemporary transnational migrants from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in Europe, each making use of a sophisticated organisation adapted to the transnatio…
Of Flows, Bodies and Shows
Shying away from an excessively constrained definition of mass culture, this paper finds in Tanizaki an unexpected point of entry. Tomoda and Matsunaga , a novella published in 1926, unfolds as a tell-tale allegory combining the paradigm of quantities (series and duplicates) with one of malleability (a-centredness and transversal circulation). Yet, in spite of elaborate statistical instruments in early twentieth century East Asia, mass culture is…
A Public Love Affair or a Nasty Game? The Chinese Tabloid Newspaper and the Rise of the Opera Singer as Star
At the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century an unlikely new figure emerged on the Chinese national stage to take its place as the new star: the Peking Opera singer and in particular the dan or female impersonator, hitherto a member of the lowest social caste and generally discriminated against by law and social custom. These singers’ newly gained national reputation had everything to do with Shanghai and its media industry…
Narratives of Counter-Modernity
It is common to associate the emergence of modern mass culture with the modernising city. In Japan the discourse on cities focuses to a large extent on Tokyo because of its role as national capital. Capital cities in particular are both political and symbolic centres of the nation and in many cases also centres of production and consumption. Very often narratives of Japan’s modernity are linked with the question of how Tokyo became the political …

Eating the World
In this paper, I examine the rise of Western-style and Chinese-style dining in early twentieth century Japan, and the role multicultural eating played in the process of turning Japan into a modern, mass society. I argue that the new dining facilities not only played an important role in the mass entertainment of the urban population, but also that they facilitated the rise of a completely new consciousness among Japanese people, connecting them t…
Imperial Institutions and Drama in the Qing Court
This article is based on largely uninvestigated archival material in the First Historical Archives in Beijing. It addresses the following issues: (1) How and why an internal office, the Nanfu, which was responsible for drama performances inside the palace, expanded its functions to become a monitoring organisation, the Shengpingshu, which exercised censorship over all the drama groups in the capital. (2) How political events were reflected in dra…
Chinese Executions Visualising Their Differences with European Supplices
That the Chinese were singled out by a native cruelty in refined tortures became a widespread representation at the turn of the twentieth century. This cliché relied mainly on photographs of executions that could be diffused worldwide through modern mass media such as illustrated journals or postcards. The instant photographs taken from life provided an exact rendition of what really happened on a Chinese execution ground, and anyone seeing the i…
Wholesome Education and Sound Leisure
The history of sport in modern Korea is largely uncharted territory. The few studies that do exist fall under the spell of a nationalist reading of colonial period history. Breaking with that tradition, this article looks at the novelty of sport as a social practice in colonial Korea. Modern sport, as defined by Allen Guttmann, was introduced and propagated by the YMCA even prior to the colonisation of Korea. Sheltered from any overt prosecution …

Love Transcends Borders' or 'blood is Thicker than Water'? The Charity Work of the Compassion Relief Foundation in the People's Republic of China
This paper looks at the Compassion Relief Foundation, a charity organisation originating from Taiwan, and tries to understand how it has managed to provide relief to victims of natural disasters for more than ten years in nineteen provinces, autonomous regions, and special municipalities of the People's Republic of China, despite the vicissitudes of cross-Straits relations and amidst recent bouts of religious persecution. The essay starts with an…
