  • The EU-Asia Connectivity Strategy and Its Impact on Asia-Europe Relations
    The EU-Asia Connectivity Strategy and Its Impact on Asia-Europe Relations Bart Gaens INTRODUCTION The EU is gradually adapting to a more uncertain world marked by increasing geo- political as well as geo-economic competition. Global power relations are in a state of flux, and in Asia an increasingly assertive and self-confident China poses a chal- lenge to US hegemony. The transatlantic relationship is weakening, and question marks are being placed on the future of multilateralism, the liberal world order and the rules-based global system. At least as importantly, China is launching vast con- nectivity and infrastructure development projects throughout Eurasia, sometimes interpreted as a geostrategic attempt to re-establish a Sinocentric regional order. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in particular, focussing on infrastructure devel- opment and investments in over 80 countries, including some within Europe, has been causing concern at regional as well as global levels. At the most recent BRI summit in April 2019 Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that China had signed new deals amounting to 64 billion USD, underscoring Beijing’s continuing cheque book diplomacy.1 It is clear that these ongoing dynamics potentially have important ramifica- tions for Europe’s own prosperity, in terms of trade and economy but also security. Overall however, the EU has been slow to react, in particular in formulating a re- sponse to connectivity challenges. In September 2018 the EU published its first coordinated attempt to formulate the European vision on connectivity and infra- structure development, in the form of a European connectivity strategy for Asia, officially entitled a Joint Communication on “Connecting Europe and Asia – building blocks for an EU strategy”.

  • China's Influence on Conflict Dynamics in South Asia
    USIP SENIOR STUDY GROUP FINAL REPORT China’s Influence on Conflict Dynamics in South Asia DECEMBER 2020 | NO. 4 USIP Senior Study Group Report This report is the fourth in USIP’s Senior Study Group (SSG) series on China’s influence on conflicts around the world. It examines how Beijing’s growing presence is affecting political, economic, and security trends in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region. The bipartisan group was comprised of senior experts, former policymakers, and retired diplomats. They met six times by videoconference over the course of 2020 to examine how an array of issues—from military affairs to border disputes, trade and development, and cultural issues—come together to shape and be shaped by Chinese involvement. The group members drew from their deep individual experiences working in and advising the US government to generate a set of top-level findings and actionable policy recommen- dations. Unless otherwise sourced, all observations and conclusions are those of the SSG members.

    Asia in Motion: Geographies and Genealogies Organized by With support from from PRIMUS Visual Histories of South Asia Foreword by Christopher Pinney Edited by Annamaria Motrescu-Mayes and Marcus Banks This book wishes to introduce the scholars of South Asian and Indian History to the in-depth evaluation of visual research methods as the research framework for new historical studies. This volume identifies and evaluates the current developments in visual sociology and digital anthropology, relevant to the study of contemporary South Asian constructions of personal and national identities. This is a unique and excellent contribution to the field of South Asian visual studies, art history and cultural analysis. This text takes an interdisciplinary approach while keeping its focus on the visual, on material cultural and on art and aesthetics. – Professor Kamran Asdar Ali, University of Texas at Austin 978-93-86552-44-0 u Royal 8vo u 312 pp. u 2018 u HB u ` 1495 u $ 71.95 u £ 55 Hidden Histories Religion and Reform in South Asia Edited by Syed Akbar Hyder and Manu Bhagavan Dedicated to Gail Minault, a pioneering scholar of women’s history, Islamic Reformation and Urdu Literature, Hidden Histories raises questions on the role of identity in politics and private life, memory and historical archives.

  • CFP, New Dimensions of Migration in Southeast Asia (Proposed Panel for AAS 2020)
    H-Asia CFP, New Dimensions of Migration in Southeast Asia (proposed panel for AAS 2020) Discussion published by Maura Elizabeth Cunningham on Monday, June 10, 2019 Call for Papers: New Dimensions of Migration in Southeast Asia Rising Voices in Southeast Asian Studies – A SEAC / AAS Initiative Submission Deadline: July 5, 2019 The Southeast Asia Council (SEAC) of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) is seeking paper proposals from up-and-coming scholars to join a “Rising Voices” panel on the topic of “New Dimensions of Migration in Southeast Asia.” We seek to recruit early career scholars from Southeast Asian countries to form a panel for eventual inclusion in the 2020 Annual Conference of the Association for Asian Studies, to be held in Boston, Massachusetts from March 19-22, 2020. SEAC will provide partial financial assistance for presenters to attend the meetings. Panel Topic Description In the decade since the end of the Cold War and the start of the 21st century, the boundaries of nationhood and citizenship have constantly been challenged by the vast expansion of free trade, global capitalism, and connectivity through digital innovation. These factors have contributed to a significant rise, but also change in character, of migratory practices within Southeast Asia and beyond including emigration of Southeast Asian people from their homeland to other nations abroad, and immigration into Southeast Asia from other regions of the world. Human migration driven by war, economics, politics, or other factors are not new to Southeast Asia; however, the post-Cold War era and dawn of the 21st century marked a significant rise that has continued to increase ever since.
