The battle of the Coral Sea: Australia’s response to the Belt & Road Initiative in the Pacific
Australia has not been alone in declining the opportunity to take part in China's Belt & Road Initiative (BRI). Instead, this article contends, Australia launched its own infrastructure initiative in the Pacific that has attempted to reduce the attractiveness of the BRI to the region. The article focuses on Australia’s intervention in the Coral Sea Cable System, an action which vastly reduced the role of Chinese firms such as Huawei in building t…
China and Human Rights in North Korea: Debating a “Developmental Approach” in Northeast Asia
The changing role of the Firb and the politics of foreign investment in Australia
Australia's policy on foreign investment aims to achieve both the liberal goal of maximising capital inflows and the statist one of ensuring that those inflows are in 'the national interest'. This article analyses the tensions between these goals through interviews with policymakers who have direct knowledge of the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB), which has functioned as an 'offstage', pre-market regulator for capital inflows to Australia.…
Residency without citizenship: Korean immigration and settlement in Australia
This article focuses on the changing quality of citizenship in Australia, which is the idealized end-point of the process of immigration, by drawing on the experience of Korean immigrants. In the formal ( political) dimension of citizenship, the article shows that Koreans fare comparatively poorly. They are less likely to be citizens than most other groups of immigrants, due to factors such as the lateness of Korean immigration. The article also …
The Politics of Conditional Citizenship in South Korea: An Analysis of the Print Media
This article shows how the meaning of citizenship has changed in South Korea since the partial emergence of a multicultural society in the past two decades. It does so by analysing how newspaper editorials have discussed multiculturalism, which is a multifaceted concept but one which weighs heavily on notions of citizenship. There is often a consensus about citizenship in mono-ethnic and homogeneous societies, even if it is not always clearly art…
Elite Opinion and the "Belt and Road" Debate in South Korea
This article analyses elite opinion in South Korea about China's 'One Belt, One Road' (OBOR) in order to better understand how this Asia–Pacific middle power and US ally is approaching the initiative. Through a close analysis of the writing of foreign-policy elites, the article finds that OBOR was generally depicted as significant to China's re-emergence in regional and global affairs, but not as wholly detrimental to South Korean interests. Elit…
Varieties of Capitalism in Asia
Critical Studies of the Asia-Pacific "I've been waiting for a work that could fill the gap between the riotous reality of Asian capitalism and our spotty understanding of it. With Varieties of Capitalism in Asia, the wait has ended. The canvas of the book, like Asia itself, is expansive, and its argument nuanced and layered. By bringing society back into the study of capitalism, Hundt and Uttam offer an analysis that is as sweeping as it is revea…
Democracy, Governance and Political Parties in India: An Introduction
The party political domain of India is replete with a large number of parties representing the tapestry of the Indian society. Many of them are based in specific regions and states, built around social and linguistic identities. While this enhanced the representative character of the parties, it also contributed to varied patterns of political competition and unstable governments. The two major national parties—the Congress and the Bharatiya Jana…
Public opinion, social cohesion, and the politics of immigration in South Korea
This article analyses public opinion in order to explore the politics of immigration in South Korea. It argues that there are divergent views about immigration and the obligations of the host society to accommodate migrants. Younger, better-educated citizens are representative of a majority that has a generally positive view of immigrants and immigration. A sizeable minority of older and less well-educated citizens, however, is warier of immigrat…
Free Trade Agreements and US Foreign Policy
The U nited S tates has completed numerous free trade agreements ( FTA s), but the pattern of these agreements defies conventional explanations. Arguments that are based on domestic interests and economic gains cannot explain the comparative under‐performance of US trade agreements. The pattern of US trade agreements is also inconsistent with explanations that focus on state power, which depict FTA s as a “reward” for loyal clients. This article …
Neoliberalism, the Developmental State and Civil Society in Korea
Following the Asian economic crisis of the late 1990s, some scholars predicted that the introduction of neoliberal ideas and policies would result in the definitive passing of the Korean developmental state. Despite these predictions, Korean state elites have retained their influential position as economic managers by, for instance, practicing a revised form of industrial policy. Neoliberal reform has, however, had significant social implications…
Economic crisis in Korea and the degraded developmental state
n\t\t\t\t\tThis article analyses the Korean developmental state since the late 1990s, and argues that the state has continued to play a weighty role in the economy. The state guided industrial and financial restructuring after the Asian economic crisis, and intervened to stimulate the economy during the 2008 global financial crisis. In doing so, state elites have displayed a distinctive form of economic leadership that is largely consistent with …
Popular consent and foreign policy choices: War against the Philippines and covert action in Chile
It is usually assumed that US policy makers need to generate popular consent in order to undertake regime change against another state. This article explores the ways in which contextual factors such as the joint democracy effect, popular values and public moods influenced efforts by elites in the United States to generate popular consent for regime change in the Philippines and Chile. Against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, the United States un…
A Deliberative Approach to Northeast Asia's Contested History
The failure to reconcile views of the past and to address historical injustice has damaged inter-state relations in Northeast Asia. Joint committees, dialogues, and the participation of civil society have been used to address historical issues, but scholars in the disciplines of international relations and area studies have largely ignored these dialogues and deliberative forums. At the same time, there is an emergent theoretical literature on ho…
Issues in Australian Foreign Policy: July to December 2010
The second half of 2010 began with the shock of Kevin Rudd's dismissal at the hands of his caucus colleagues still hanging thick in the air.The Australian Labor Party (ALP) and the former prime minister suffered rapid declines in support during the first six months of the year, but Rudd's loss of support among his colleagues was even more precipitous; with 80 per cent of the Labor caucus backing Julia Gillard, the leadership did not even go to a …
Competing Notions of Regionalism in South Korean Politics
In the past decade, ASEAN has been the primary driver of East Asian regionalism, and Korea has been an active supporter of ASEAN plus Three. Korea has explored the idea of an East Asian Community, and has been relatively open to notions of Asia–Pacific regionalism. The ROK has involved itself comparatively heavily in regional projects as both an initiator and a participant, but its notion of ‘region’ has oscillated between more and less inclusive…
Ko Un and the Poetics of Postcolonial Identity
Ko Un is one of South Korea's most important writers of the past 50 years, and a poet whose work provides important insights into crucial linkages between language, identity and community. He lived through, chronicled and critically engaged most of the traumatic events his nation faced during the last century: a brutal colonial occupation by Japan; the division of the peninsula into communist North and capitalist South; an unusually devastating f…
China’s ‘Two Koreas’ Policy: Achievements and Contradictions
China has long maintained a keen interest in events on the Korean peninsula, which Beijing considers to fall within the Sinic sphere of interest. The PRC has maintained a decades-long alliance with North Korea, and also achieved a rapprochement with South Korea, with whom China enjoys a burgeoning economic relationship. The PRC’s pursuit of a ‘two Koreas’ policy has tested Beijing’s diplomatic mettle during the past decade. In and of itself, the …
Nation Building in South Korea: Koreans, Americans and the Making of a Democracy
Korea — squandering a mandate for change
In winning the presidential and legislative elections of 2007–8, the Grand National Party and its leader Lee Myung-bak have attained a potentially unique opportunity to influence South Korea's political, economic and diplomatic trajectory. This paper reviews Korea's ‘once in a generation’ election and prospects for change under President Lee. Despite the political capital accrued from his party's landslide victories, Lee appears set to replicate …
Reconciling Colonial Memories in Korea and Japan
The Republic of Korea and Japan share a tumultuous history, but arguably no period has caused greater trauma in bilateral relations than the twentieth century. After Japan’s four-decade long colonial occupation of Korea, the two countries took two decades Just to establish diplomatic relations. Subsequent interactions have remained seriously compromised by the memory of colonialism. This article reviews the tensions behind the tempestuous bilater…
A Legitimate Paradox: Neo-liberal Reform and the Return of the State in Korea
n\t\t\t\t\tThis article examines the neo-liberal reforms that the Kim government implemented in post-crisis Korea. It argues that by embracing the reforms, the state, paradoxically, re-legitimised itself in the national political economy. The process of enacting the reforms completed the power shift from a collusive state-chaebol alliance towards a new alliance based on a more populist social contract - but one that nonetheless generally conforme…
