Ignoring Gender Compromises the Comparability of Cross-Cultural Survey Research
Survey measures of intergroup attitudes may not necessarily be comparable across countries. Androcentric bias—the propensity to position men as the universal standard—is more likely to arise among speakers of grammatically gendered languages than among speakers of languages without grammatical gender. When combined with outgroup male target bias—the tendency to evaluate outgroup men more negatively than outgroup women—androcentric bias may distor…
The challenges of Sino-Russian alignment to the liberal international order in Southeast Asia
This paper explores the challenges of Sino-Russian alignment to liberal international order (LIO) in the Indo-Pacific, with a focus on Southeast Asia. Rather than being based upon common interests or values, the alignment between Russian and Chinese interests is pragmatic and expedient in the context of contemporary international affairs. China is traditionally an important player in Southeast Asia, while Russia lacks significant strategic presen…
Intuitive deterrence theorists…with feelings? Perceptions of Chinese resolve in a crisis
Recent experimental research has found citizens to be “intuitive deterrence theorists” who judge the resolve of foreign states based on their capabilities, material stakes, past behavior and costly signals. Yet there are good reasons to expect that subjective feelings toward the specific country in question—variables that are difficult to capture in genericized experimental designs—could also condition such judgements. We test this proposition us…
Anti-Muslim Bias in Foreign Policy Attitudes: Experimental Evidence from Thirteen European Countries
Intergroup attitudes and identity ties can shape foreign policy preferences. Anti-Muslim bias is particularly salient in the USA and the UK, but little work assesses whether this bias generalizes to other countries. We evaluate the extent of anti-Muslim bias in foreign policy attitudes through harmonized survey experiments in thirteen European countries (N=19,673). Experimental vignettes present factual reports of religious persecution by China, …
Slovakia-Taiwan Relations: Slovakia's Pragmatic Approach as a Model of Engagement with Taiwan
This article examines the evolution of Slovakia-Taiwan relations, focusing on the early 2020s (specifically 2020–2023), a period marked by a shift toward closer ties. Despite adhering to the One China policy, Slovakia has strengthened its engagement with Taiwan, driven by both regional and domestic factors. Regionally, the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region’s disillusionment with unmet Chinese economic promises has led to a pivot toward alte…
Exploring ideological differences in Taiwanese perceptions of cross-strait relations
This is an exploratory research that seeks to investigate how ideology predicts Taiwanese perceptions of cross-strait relations, including attitudes toward Taiwan independence, perceptions of mainland China and Chinese people, Chinese invasion of Taiwan, and Chinese democracy. We took an inductive approach to left-right differences in Taiwan to offer a more systematic empirical understanding of ideology beyond the West. To do so, we conducted a n…
Taiwanese Public Opinion on Inviting the Dalai Lama to Taiwan: Political or Religious Motives
The Dalai Lama’s absence from Taiwan since 2009, attributed to mounting pressure from China, has not deterred the persistent calls from the Taiwanese populace for his visit. However, the extent to which this desire represents a mainstream or minority viewpoint remains unclear. This raises questions about the motivations behind the Taiwanese people’s appeals for the Dalai Lama to visit the country. Is this driven by religious sentiments, or is it …
Exploring public opinions on Rohingya refugees residing in India: An empirical study
The Rohingya population is widely acknowledged as one of the most persecuted minority groups worldwide. The ongoing tripartite conflict involving the Rohingya, the Rakhine, and the Myanmar military has resulted in numerous clashes and massacres, leading to forced displacement. Countries such as Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Pakistan, and India have recorded an influx of Rohingya immigrants. While extensive studies ha…
Unraveling Chinese Bilateral Diplomatic Behavior: Evidence from Post-Coup Sino-Myanmar Relations,a Rational Choice Approach
Attempting to understand the strategic motives and geopolitical interests behind Chinese actions in bilateral international relations, this paper examines Beijing’s reaction to the 2021 Myanmar Coup. Adopting a rationalist approach, the paper conducts cost and benefit analysis through game-theoretical lenses and categorizes Chinese interests as expansionary and defensive, both contributing to its potential payoff in bilateral exchanges. Applying …
How Did Taiwan Go from ‘Most Affected’ during sars to ‘Least Affected’ during covid-19: A Comparative Study of Taiwan’s Emergency Responses
Taiwan was one of the places most affected by sars in 2003—but one of the least affected by covid -19 in the first year of the pandemic. Taiwan deployed a centralised approach and has been able to effectively eliminate the threat of the spread of covid -19 through swift decisions and effective action. This paper compares and evaluates the Taiwanese government’s emergency responses to two health crises: sars in 2003 and covid -19 in 2020. The poli…
Taiwan’s Road to an Asylum Law: Who, When, How, and Why Not Yet
Taiwan is considered to be one of the most progressive countries in Asia but has no asylum law. Does it need one? Many in Taiwan, including officials and politicians, claim that the regulations that are currently in place are sufficient. There are, however, some people in Taiwan who require protection, and the government is not able to respond effectively in the absence of an asylum law. The author has identified several different groups in Taiwa…
How state-run media shape perceptions: An analysis of the projection of the Rohingya in the Global New Light of Myanmar
Under the authority of the Burmese military, the Rohingya have long been subjected to discrimination and segregation in systemic attacks linked to their identity. In 2017, the Burmese security forces launched a series of attacks resulting in nearly a million Rohingya refugees fleeing to camps in Bangladesh. What causes the other people in Myanmar to turn a blind eye towards the dire situation of the Rohingya? Using very similar rhetorical devices…
Taiwan–Myanmar Relations within the Framework of the New Southbound Policy
This article combines the study of Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy with a case study of Taiwan–Myanmar relations from a perspective of political relations, economic cooperation, and Taiwan’s (un)recognisability in Myanmar—i.e. Taiwan’s soft power in Myanmar. The first part of the paper introduces the policy and compares it with the previous ones, and sheds light on Taiwan’s motivation to engage with Myanmar. It considers the ongoing trade war betw…
