China and Its Small Neighbors
Development of Peace Studies and the Asian Context
This introductory article illustrates the development of peace studies and then reviews the Asian context in it. Peace studies has developed through three approaches state-centered, human-centered, and structure-critical—the origins of which can be traced back to Kantian federalism and republicanism, Tolstoy’s criticism of institutionalized violence, and Marx’s critique of capitalism, respectively. In the post-Cold War era, the theories of securi…
South Korea’s 2020 Election Amid Covid-19
At the general election on 15 April 2020 held amid the COVID-19 crisis, the ruling party in South Korea won an overwhelming majority. This election was a kind of “critical election” in which swing voters in particular took a safe, risk-aversive option of supporting the ruling party which responded successfully to the pandemic
China and Its Neighbors
With respect to China and its neighbors, what are the political implications when a great power advances economically into small states? This paper presents an asymmetry–coercion linkage to explain the relationship between a great power and small states by reconceptualizing Albert Hirschman’s theory of trade dependency. This reconceptualization involves two tasks. First, the paper explicates vulnerability to coercion as a consequence of economic …
North Korea and Nuclear Weapons
Dynamics of Nuclear Power Policy in the Post-Fukushima Era
This article compares the different trajectories of nuclear power policy in Japan, Taiwan and Korea in the post-Fukushima era. The Fukushima nuclear accident ratcheted up the level of contention between civil activism and supporters of nuclear power in all three states. The result of this contention has been decided by the combined effects of two factors – interest structure (complexity vs simplicity) and politicisation (national level vs local l…
Endangering alliance or risking proliferation
This paper seeks to understand why the United States treated Japan and Korea differently in the revisions of bilateral nuclear cooperation agreements. On the sensitive issue of grating its allies the rights of developing enrichment and reprocessing (ENR), the United States did so for Japan in the 1977 and 1987 revisions, but did not for Korea during the 2015 revision. For the great power as a supplier state, there are two factors affecting the de…
Charles K. Armstrong. Tyranny of the Weak
This book is an exceptional contribution to the understanding of North Korea's independent diplomacy during the Cold War period. Not only is Charles K. Armstrong's analysis framed in a synthetic way, but his use of underexplored and underused primary materials reveals the unknown roots of the weak state's known behavior. Armstrong explains that North Korea's self-reliance on the diplomatic front was a result of both its own developmental path and…

Fluctuating institutions of enterprise management in North Korea
In the midst of the economic crisis in the 1990s in North Korea, private entrepreneurial activities illicitly utilizing public resources spread in both the distribution and the manufacturing sectors. This new development resulted from rapidly increased de facto local autonomy, which was largely indebted to fluctuations in the institution of enterprise management. Not only have local governments had greater leeway thrust on them by the state, but …
