  • Taiwan’s Contested Survival in an Era of Shrinking Globalization

    Lowell Dittmer•ARTICLE•Issues & Studies•2024•References: 1

    Hitherto renowned for its economic and political development, Taiwan has lately come under a harsher spotlight as a possible victim of invasion based on an analogy to Ukraine. Yet, Taiwan is also challenged by a slew of other problems too long neglected. These environmental, industrial, agricultural, demographic, trade, and economic security problems altogether form a “polycrisis” that makes it difficult to solve one set of problems without aggra…

  • On the Sixth Generation: Preliminary Speculations about Chinese Politics after Xi

    Lowell Dittmer•ARTICLE•Journal of Contemporary China•2019•Cited by: 2

    Contrary to the current tendency to extrapolate China’s future trajectory from its current retrenchment, it is argued that China has changed substantially in the past and is likely to continue to change in the future. While change has always been strife-torn and radically contingent, it may be seen in retrospect to fit a rough pattern as occasioned by generational as well as ideological and developmental factors. Can we find clues in this pattern…

    Lowell Dittmer, Chow Bing Ngeow et al.•ARTICLE•Contemporary Southeast Asia•2018

    The recent uncertainties over the South China Sea have become one major issue in the relations between China and Southeast Asian countries. The South China Sea issue, however, is countered by the deepening economic integration between China and Southeast Asia, which is likely to continue should China's proposal for a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road is agreed and implemented. Yet the success or not of this proposal depends also on the interactions…

  • Taiwan and China: Fitful Embrace

    Open Access•Lowell Dittmer•BOOK•Taiwan and China•2017

    China’s relation to Taiwan has been in constant contention since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in October 1949 and the creation of the defeated Kuomintang (KMT) exile regime on the island two months later. The island’s autonomous sovereignty has continually been challenged, initially because of the KMT’s insistence that it continue to represent not just Taiwan but all of China—and later because Taiwan refused to cede sovereignty …

    This balanced, fair-minded, and thoughtful study by the distinguished historian Sergey Radchenko covers the period not since, but at the end of the Cold War, specifically the late period from Leonid Il’ich Brezhnev’s pathbreaking 1982 speech in Tashkent to the disintegration of the Soviet Union into fifteen sovereign republics in December 1991.

    Japan, China, Russia, and the United States, four of the most powerful nations in the world, positioned cheek by jowl in Northeast Asia with some of the world's most extensive trade and mutually interlocking investments binding them together, have long had "complicated" political-strategic relations. They form two duos, each of which is or was formally bound by a mutual security alliance. In focus here is the Japan-US security alliance (JUSA). Th…

  • The Strategic Triangle: An Elementary Game-Theoretical Analysis

    Open Access•Lowell Dittmer•ARTICLE•World Politics•1981•Cited by: 49•References: 12

    The concept of a“strategic triangle” is useful in an analysis of the internal logic of the relationship between the United States, the Soviet Union, and China. The preconditions for a triangular relationship are that each player recognize the strategic salience of the three principals, and the relationship between any two will be affected by each player's relationship to the third. Within the triangle, there are three distinct pattern dynamics: t…

Its connection with related concepts, such as political psychology, political structure, and political language, has remained unclear, with the result that political culture…

  • The Modernization of Factionalism in Chinese Politics

    Open Access•Lowell Dittmer, Yu-Shan Wu•ARTICLE•World Politics•1995•Cited by: 29•References: 8

    The informal dimension has always been important in Chinese politics, due to a traditional bias against legalism and favoring the sentimentalization of personal qualities. We contend that it remains so still, albeit in altered form. Rather than being oriented solely to personal or in-group security, factionalism in the context of the more secure bureaucratic environment of the reform era has come to embrace policy goals and material interests as …

    The realization of a positive and well-integrated national identity is difficult even under the most favorable circumstances. Korea, Chechen, and the Palestinians are notorious recent examples of national identities destined, due to a combination of circumstances, to remain frustrated to some extent. Taiwan has, since relinquishing its claim to be sole international representative of 'China' as hopelessly unrealistic in the early 1990s, faced for…

    The Sino-Russian Astrategic partnership, formed after decades of rancorous verbal (and sometimes lethal) dispute, we find to be genuine, bespeaking a genuine desire on both sides to put the past behind them and forge a more friendly and mutually profitable relationship. Certainly there are underlying problems and suspicions, but the painstakingly institutionalized, multi-stranded network of exchange and consultation seems quite capable of contain…

    The danwei, an enclosed, multifunctional, and self-sufficient entity, is the most basic collective unit in the Chinese political and social order. It plays both a political (statist) and an economic (societal) role. As a basic unit in the political order, the danwei functions as a mechanism with which the state controls members of the cadre corps and carries out its policies; as an economic and communal entity, it fulfills the welfare and other n…

    The premise of this paper is that China has a divided national identity, characteristic of a category of nation-states divided for political reasons since World War II. Until 1999, responsibility for this sense of national division could be diffused, but since the retrocession of Hong Kong and Macao, frustration and blame have focused on Taiwan, the last remaining symbol of China's ‘national humiliation’. Characteristic of such a divided identity…

    Factionalism is a dimension of informal politics that is hardly unique to China, but it has become well entrenched there for several reasons. We know from available survey data that Chinese political culture is relatively low in trust, and the faction provides a particularly useful refuge from the tiger world of politics, organized as it is around that culturally sanctioned dimension of trust known as guanxi (connections) (Shi 2001 and 1997; Pye …

    The central argument of this paper is that while political reform has remained a focal preoccupation of China's leadership, no unified vision of either the goal culture or the transfer culture of reform has yet emerged. Instead, there are at least three more or less clearly articulated visions of political reform currently in play. The first is the developmental perspective, according to which political reform is defined as whatever is most appro…

    In the ongoing war on terrorism that highlights the “new era” in world politics, East Asia constitutes a crucial swing vote. Its importance derives from its growing economic heft in the world, as well as its central role in three key trends that have characterized international politics since the end of the cold war: globalization, regionalism, and a reequilibration of the national balance of power.
