Beyond Balancing
This paper disputes the popular view that Australia has embraced a balancing posture against China after ditching its previous hedging policy. This is because a balancing perspective does not reconcile with the fact that Australia still actively cultivates economic ties with China. Instead, this paper proposes a new dual-track approach to explain Australia’s China policy. It posits that states can simultaneously pursue balancing and cooperation t…
What is Taiwan’s China policy? Unpacking a mystery
Students as Co-Creators

This qualitative dominant mixed-methods study explores how the engagement through partnership builds on and caters to cultural diversity. For one semester, seven international doctoral students of a course Frontiers of the Learning Sciences took on the role of cour…
Polarity and Strategic Competition
Strategic competition, or great power competition, has become a new buzz-word in international politics. Yet, few studies have undertaken any systematic examination of what caused its return to the centre stage of international relations. This study hence formulates a parsimonious structural explanation of renewed great power rivalry. Relying on the insights of neorealism and its two structural variants—defensive realism and offensive realism—the…
Hoping for the Best, Preparing for the Worst
America’s embracement of a competition posture against China has redefined their bilateral relationship and reordered the latter’s strategic environment. However, how China has responded to US strategic competition has been understudied. This study seeks to fill the gap by using structural realism to gauge China’s reactions. It argues that China’s periodic confrontations with the United States, such as the one over Nancy Pelosi’s Taiwan visit, do…

Recently many initiatives have been launched across Pakistan to create more interest in STEM education. In order to assist in raising the level of STEM awareness in Pakistan, this study sought to examine the current state of research and identify recent contributions and gaps …
When Civilisational Clashes Meet Power Shifts
Samuel Huntington’s famous prediction in 1993 of “clashes of civilisations”, amid that decade’s rosy expectations of “liberal peace”, sparked wide criticism for its rebutting of the then-conventional wisdom of globalisation, global governance, and democratic peace that defined the so-called “liberal” international politics of the 1990s. However, events in recent decades have corroborated his stark prediction. In particular, conflicts between the …
From Defensive toward Offensive Realism
This study dispels the common view that the Trump administration has fundamentally reoriented the United States’ China policy by emphasizing strategic competition. Instead, the study argues that the Obama administration’s pivot initiative began the shift of the United States’ China policy from a defensive realist posture toward an offensive realist posture. The Biden administration’s China policy inherits the strategic competition approach. This …

This new grand strategy has b…
US missile defence and China's nuclear posture
This article examines the rising prominence of strategic nuclear deterrence in Sino-US relations. China is the only major nuclear power that has been actively expanding its offensive capabilities. Its nuclear modernization has inevitably caused concerns in the United States. The article suggests that China's nuclear programme is driven significantly by US missile defence, which has fundamentally altered the incentive structures for Chinese nuclea…
The Security Dilemma in the U.S.-China Military Space Relationship
The U.S.-China military space relationship has been driven by the security dilemma in international relations. China pursues military space capabilities in part to counter perceived national security threats posed by the U.S. quest for space dominance and missile defense. However, the current strategic adjustment by the Obama administration and the altered situation at the Taiwan Strait have moderated the bilateral security dilemma, offering an o…
Democratizing Hong Kong
The system of functional representation constitutes the greatest challenge to political reform in Hong Kong.

This view differs significantly from Gerald Segal's famous claim in 1999 that China was no more than a middle power. The article utilizes man…
Distinguishing Symptoms of Grief and Depression in a Cohort of Advanced Cancer Patients
Several studies have shown that the symptoms of grief are different from symptoms of depression among bereaved family members. This study is an attempt to replicate this finding among advanced cancer patients and examine clinical correlates of patient grief and depression. Analyses were conducted on data from interviews with 123 advanced cancer patients. Grief was measured using symptoms from the patient version of the Inventory of Complicated Gr…
Beijing's 2007 political reform plan and prospects for Hong Kong's democratization
In the September 2008 Legislative Council election, Hong Kong's democrats managed to retain their veto position in the political reform process. Now, the democrats face the dilemma of what to do with Beijing's 2007 plan for Hong Kong's democratization. According to the plan, the people of Hong Kong could see the direct election of the chief executive and the entire legislature in 2017 and 2020, respectively. Although the plan is not perfect, Hong…
Stigmatization and Receptivity to Mental Health Services Among Recently Bereaved Adults
Severe grief symptoms, treatment receptivity, attitudes about grief, and stigmatization concerns were assessed in a community-based sample of 135 widowed participants in the Yale Bereavement Study.

However, more than 90% of the respondents with complicated grief, a severe grief disorder, reporte…
Political Paralysis of the Basic Law Regime and the Politics of Institutional Reform in Hong Kong
The present constitutional system of Hong Kong is supposedly executive-led. In reality, it is a system of "disabled governance."

The Taiwan Strait and the Future of China's No-First-Use Nuclear Policy
This article examines whether China may modify its no-first-use nuclear policy in the future. It suggests that due to the ascendance of Taiwan as the central security challenge for China and its inability to use conventional deterrence to prevent American military intervention in the Taiwan Strait, there are increasing Chinese discussions on the role of nuclear deterrence in this context. This article suggests that for political and strategic rea…

OBJECTIVE: To examine the relative magnitudes and patterns of change over time postloss of 5 grief indicators for consistency with the stage theory of grief. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PART…
Corporatism, Totalitarianism, and Transitions to Democracy
Recent studies of democratization generally emphasize the role of elites and political pacts in transitions to democracy. They usually give little attention to the institutional conditions for elite's successful pact making. This article argues that although choices by elites are important, pact making does require certain institutional conditions. By examining the democratization experiences of Spain, Brazil, the Soviet Union, and China in 1989,…

Cross‐cutting issues and the consolidation of democracy in Taiwan
This article examines the cause of Taiwan's recent successful democratic consolidation. It argues that cross‐cutting issues in the electoral process allow democratic systems to periodically generate new winners.

This process contributed to the democratic cons…

American Hegemony and China’s U.S. Policy
This article challenges the premature assumption that a power transition between the United States and China is inevitable due to China's rapid rise. It argues that the United States will remain the hegemonic power for the next half century. Based on this projection, China must adopt a policy of cooperation with the U.S.-dominated international order. China also needs to actively participate in the various institutions of the global system and le…
