Beyond directional care: Theorising mutuality in the geographies of care through the lens of friendship
The geographies of care has portrayed care as a directional relation moving from a carer to cared-for subject. This analytic has been built on a binary of ‘caring-for’ (practical labour) and ‘caring-about’ (emotional attentiveness), which does not reflect the mutuality of friendship. In friendship, care is not something one does for another, but arises in the very fact of mutual presence. In response to Bowlby’s identification of friendship as ‘n…
The Labor of Reinvention: Entrepreneurship in the New Chinese Digital Economy
Predicting the replicability of social and behavioural science claims in Covid-19 preprints
Replications are important for assessing the reliability of published findings. However, they are costly, and it is infeasible to replicate everything. Accurate, fast, lower-cost alternatives such as eliciting predictions could accelerate assessment for rapid policy implementation in a crisis and help guide a more efficient allocation of scarce replication resources. We elicited judgements from participants on 100 claims from preprints about an e…
Media depictions and the priming of mental illness stigma
Research has consistently noted that news reports on mental illness are biased toward describing violent incidents, and there is evidence that the media is a significant source contributing to the public’s knowledge about mental illness (Jorm, 2000). However, it is unclear whether and how the media’s bias toward reporting violent incidents impacts one’s assumptions about the association between mental illness and violence. Based on pragmatic infe…
Individual and neighborhood predictors of mental illness stigma in New York state
While studies indicate that stigmatizing attitudes persist in the general public, individual and neighborhood level factors that are associated with increased likelihood of holding stigmatizing attitudes have been seldom studied. This study examined the demographic and neighborhood correlates of stigmatizing attitudes among community members in New York State. Data were drawn from the Pulse of New York State Survey, a random-digit dial survey of …
Capturing China's International Identity: Social Evolution and Its Missing Links
What is China’s international identity? How has it changed over time, especially since the reform and opening up of the country in the late 1970s? How does China see itself? And how do other countries see China? I argue that answers to these questions are instrumental to a proper understanding of Chinese foreign-policy behaviour, in ways more significant than we normally assume. To advance this argument, I choose to examine China’s social interac…
China and Small States in Food Security Governance
China’s need to ensure food sufficiency for its people is nothing new. What is new is the country’s recent active search for food from around the world, including small states in Africa and Latin America. The country has begun to acquire food of a high quality, in competition with other countries. China can make use of its politico-economic power to influence the behaviour of others to achieve food security, thereby highlighting a puzzling questi…

China in Darfur: Humanitarian rule-maker or rule-taker
Most people hold that in its quest for natural resources abroad, China shields rogue states with egregious human-rights record from international opprobrium and sanctions. Its political support for Sudan is a case in point. By examining Chinese perspectives on humanitarian intervention and national sovereignty, this article first argues that Beijing's interests are so multiple and complex that concern about the implications of humanitarian interv…
Governing Security at the 2008 Beijing Olympics
As sports mega-events (SMEs) attract growing worldwide attention, the security aspect of these events has assumed greater global importance, especially in the post-9/11 anti-terrorism context. The 2008 Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad set security concern as a top priority. This paper analyses the empirical data derived from fieldwork in Beijing in early 2008 as well as information gathered from official documents a…
Global Governance with Chinese Characteristics? A Preliminary Analysis
The rise of China poses many challenges and opportunities to itself as well as to other countries. Will its rapid rise in power change the way in which world affairs are run? If so, in what way will global governance be affected? What are China’s aspirations, demands and limitations in its engagement with global governance? This paper addresses these questions. First, it takes a look at China’s view of the nature of global governance. Then it ide…

China's Environmental Governance: The domestic – international nexus
This paper examines the connection between China's domestic governance and its involvement in global governance in environmental protection by studying the major actors and issues involved in the interaction between the domestic and international spheres of activities. These actors include international institutions, national and local governments, nongovernmental organisations, and others. The paper demonstrates that China has made some substant…
Rethinking global governance: A China model in the making
This paper examines Chinese perspectives on global governance, an area in which China has increased substantially the depth and breadth of its participation. The paper attempts to draw a mainstream perspective to inform our understanding of some key aspects of China’s foreign policy. It demonstrates that while China’s statist preference appeals to some Third World countries, such a preference leads the country to clash with the West over how to t…
Globalisation Rules and China’s Compliance
China can best play the game of globalisation, both to its own benefit as well as to the benefit of others, by actively engaging in the process of globalisation rather than avoiding or resisting it. Engaging in this process of globalisation means that China has to play by the rules of the game as, fortunately or unfortunately for China and many other developing countries, most if not all of these rules are designed and controlled by the West, esp…
Japan, the West, and the whaling issue: Understanding the Japanese side
This article examines the current dispute over whaling from the perspective of Japan, a country that is fiercely protective of its right to whale. It outlines the key role played by transnational environmental actors in defining and instituting an international norm of anti-whaling, symbolized in the passage of the moratorium on commercial whaling in 1982. This signalled a rejection of previously held attitudes towards the use of whales as natura…
Diplomacy across the Taiwan strait: From competition to cooperation
China's compliance in global environmental affairs
As the most populous country on earth with 10 per cent of its rare species of flora and fauna, China's environmental practice is of great importance. Already the country is one of the most polluted places in the world. At least seven out of the ten of the world's most polluted cities are located in China. It is the second largest producer of greenhouse gases after the United States, inflicting heavy, long‐term casualties on its own public health …

From the 'Olympic Formula' to the Beijing Games: Towards Greater Integration across the Taiwan Strait
The award of the 2008 Olympic Games to Beijing has animated the people of China, but has raised hopes as well as fears among people in Taiwan. The Olympic movement has enabled both countries to participate in international sports under the so-called 'Olympic formula'. It has also stimulated cooperation between them in such areas as science and trade. Can the Beijing Games bring the two sides closer together through the co-hosting of some events? …

Taiwan as an Emerging Foreign Aid Donor: Developments, Problems, and Prospects
T AIWAN IS FINANCIALLY RICH BUT DIPLOMATICALLY POOR. It has one of the world's largest foreign exchange reserves. It is the thirteenth largest trading nation, accumulating trade surpluses almost every year since 1970. Its economy has been growing at an average annual rate of nearly 9 percent for the past forty years. Its gross national product reached $304 billion (measured by purchasing power parity) in September 1996, which was among the top tw…
Sudpolitik: The political economy of Taiwan's trade with Southeast Asia
In December 1993 the Taiwan government adopted a policy called nanjin zhengce or sudpolitik, a policy aimed at diverting part of Taiwan's trade and investment flows from China to Southeast Asia. This paper addresses the following questions: what is sudpolitik? why adopt such a policy? what are the economic, political, and strategic considerations in the pursuit of this policy? which countries are its specific targets? how do the countries directl…

Three Chinas’ and international organizations after 1997
This article analyzes the effects of the transfer of Hong Kong's sovereignty to China in 1997 on the participation of Hong Kong and Taiwan in international organizations. It identifies the conditions under which China tolerates co‐existence with Taiwan as members of eleven intergovernmental organizations as of 1996. It concludes with two observations: one, international organizations are not monolithic entities; two, although China has overwhelmi…

The "Two-Chinas" Problem and the Olympic Formula
AFTER AN ABSENCE of thirty-two years, the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.) returned to the Olympic Games and surprised the sports world by carrying away fifteen gold medals from Los Angeles in August 1984. What interests the academic world more, perhaps, is the political significance of the fact that both the P.R.C. and Taiwan took part in the same games for the first time in the history of the Summer Olympics. How did this come about? To answ…

Chinese perspectives on peace and development
China declares, quite rightly in some respects, that it is a Third World country, but it is a Third World country with a big difference. It is huge in demographic size. It is a major power in aggregate terms, politically, economically, and militarily. It is a nuclear power with a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council. Yet it does not belong to the Non‐Aligned Movement or the Group of Seventy‐Seven countries. Given China's potentia…
