Building a Nation at War: Transnational Knowledge Networks and the Development of China during and after World War II
J. Megan Greene intends Building a Nation at War to reinforce an important corrective: the oft-told story of China's economic development does not start in 1978, leaping out of Deng Xiaoping's head like Athena from Zeus. Nor does it begin in 1949 with Mao Zedong's founding of the People's Republic of China as a laboratory for his vision of “revolution and construction.” Instead, Greene wants to push the chronology of China's development back acro…
Feudal Contradictions between Communist Allies
In the late 1970s, the People's Republic of China (PRC) and North Korea arrived at contradictory answers regarding the question of succession, testing the strength of bilateral ties at a complex moment in the two countries’ domestic politics and in the Cold War. Blaming the excesses of Maoist radicalism on “feudal thinking,” Deng Xiaoping launched a campaign in the summer of 1980 to “eliminate feudalism” from the Chinese Communist Party and eleva…

North Korea in 2020
North Korea slogged through 2020 in an effort to maintain public health and state power. Kim Jong Un’s hopes for an economic breakthrough were dashed by the COVID-19 outbreak in neighboring China, which posed an existential threat given the DPRK’s limited healthcare resources. Although swift sealing of borders helped prevent a crisis, keeping the country on national quarantine took a heavy toll. Information about internal developments was scarce …
North Korea in 2019
This was a year of transition in North Korea, as leader Kim Jong Un held firm to his strategic shift of putting “all efforts” into economic development in the face of ongoing international sanctions. Kim’s summit diplomacy with the US and South Korea stalled, while ties improved markedly with China and modestly with Russia. The US and South Korea resumed downsized joint military exercises and North Korea resumed short-range missile testing
The Candlelight Revolution
What does it take to peacefully remove a democratically elected president from power? In Korea, it was traditional forces of resistance and dissent—idealistic students, intrepid journalists, invigorated parliamentarians, and outraged urbanites—who launched a revolution. South Korea’s Candlelight Revolution started over the summer of 2016 in the old-fashioned way: with on-campus activism. Students at Ewha Womans University had been protesting the …
Looking Back on the Seventieth Anniversary of Japan's Surrender-Corrigendum
The Kishi Effect: A Political Genealogy of Japan-ROK Relations
The severe deterioration in South Korea-Japan relations under Abe Shinzo and Park Geun-hye seems paradoxical given that Abe’s grandfather, Kishi Nobusuke, and Park’s father, Park Chung-hee, were “close friends” who helped forge Japan-South Korea normalization in 1965. However, Abe and Park are better understood as operating within the nationalist conservative logic that brought their families together but now drives their countries apart
Looking Back on the Seventieth Anniversary of Japan's Surrender
Editor's Introduction: In mid-August 2015, Japanese prime minister Abe Shinzo gave a high-profile speech looking back at the Japanese surrender of 1945. Three weeks later, also to mark the seventieth anniversary of the end of World War II in Asia, China's Communist Party head and president Xi Jinping presided over a lavish parade in the heart of Beijing, which featured missiles and other Chinese military hardware as well as large contingents of P…
Gu Yanwu’s Mixed Model and the Problem of Two Despotisms
Based on a close reading of Gu Yanwu’s masterpiece of statecraft reform thought, Record of Daily Learning , this article maps out Gu’s attempt to mix two rival “constitutional” systems, the centralized junxian system and devolutionary fengjian model, so as to reorder the late imperial polity. Tapping both Confucian and Legalist streams of reformist political discourse, Gu devised a “mixed constitution” that would solve the basic problems he saw e…
North Korea: Twenty Years of Solitude
We present two complementary perspectives on North Korea that locate the issues of North Korea isolation and nuclear proliferation within broader regional and global frameworks related to the six-party talks in general, and US-North Korean relations in particular
