Calder, Director, Reischaeur Center for East Asian Studies, Johns Hopkins University SAIS, Washington D.C., United States Chair: Dr. Erik Jones, Director of European and Eurasian Studies and Professor of European Studies and International Political Economy, Johns Hopkins University SAIS Europe, Bologna, Italy, and Senior Research Fellow, Nuffield College, Oxford, United Kingdom “Eurasia’s Changing Configuration in Global Political-Economic Context” Part of Europe’s Security Challenges Series Dr. Kent Calder discusses the phenomenon of “New Continentalism,” referring to strengthening Eurasian interdependence, and its implications for global international affairs. He begins with the three transformational decades between the 1970s and 1990s which set Japan, the “Asian tigers,” and China on paths towards rapid economic growth. Despite the political changes that accommodated growth, Calder highlights that geographical constancies across the continent, such as fixed resource endowments, ultimately determined and will continue to determine the limits and relative manner in which East Asian nations develop. Resource constraints, especially concerning energy resources, are shifting political linkages across the continent, which was once divided by Cold War enmity, and now held in balance by China. To understand the nuances of regional interdependence, Calder focuses on the actions of individual leaders, companies and consumers, as well as the natural and institutional constraint that bind actors’ decision-making. It is within this transnational, historically-specific, framework, that Calder views New Continentalism as a product of “critical junctures.” He deems historical events as such if they change the parameters for economic decision-making. For example, the collapse of the Soviet Union opened a market once hermetically sealed off from the East by Stalin; the modernization of the People’s Congress in China increased Europe’s attraction to China as a new market while catalyzing economic growth that increased demand for energy resources; while the Iranian Revolution’s nationalization of energy resources affected the ease with which such demands would be met. One such parameter that shapes economic and political decision making of today’s leaders is the net demand for oil from the Asia Pacific region, already the heaviest in the world and projected to continue to grow as per capita consumption levels in India and China rise. One of the key features of the New Continentalism that Calder describes is the strategic trade relationships between Eurasian countries, as a “complementarity” characterized by Asia Pacific demand met by supplies from Russia and the Persian Gulf. The close geographical proximity between complementary countries also distinguishes the energy trade as a strong foundation for future import-export exchanges. China’s One Belt, One Road policy, for example, includes China’s sea-born routes to the Persian Gulf that allow China to bypass Pakistan for access to 45-50% of its energy supply. China’s energy dependence on Russia, from whom it imported 39% of its oil in 2009, considerably informed Xi Jingping’s visit to Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus in May 2015 to discuss the Silk Road Economic Belt Initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union. By situating rising energy demand in the Asia Pacific region against concurrent political transformations on the Western half of the continent, Calder illuminates the global implications of Eurasia’s growing energy interdependence, primarily, the rise of China. Calder points to the Ukraine crisis as a main critical juncture in Europe, marking the peak of Russian blowback against EU and NATO’s eastern enlargement. While suffering from EU sanctions, Russia benefits from China’s sustained diplomatic cooperation over energy and trade issues. Despite China’s dependency on Russian oil supplies, it is China’s need to maintain positive relations with Russia that positions it as the balancer of cooling relations between Russia and the EU and thus grants it great political leverage. Further facilitating China’s rise is the EU’s pivot to China for help in overcoming the current challenges it faces. As Calder’s paradigm for New Continentalism would predict, this shift is a product of geopolitical considerations—China does not pose the same immediate threat to enlarging NATO and EU systems that Russia does—and several critical junctures, the first being enlargement itself. However, the EU crisis, particularly its handling of the Greek debt, now tests the tenability of a European monetary union. By allowing the EU to maintain low interest rates, China’s large foreign exchange reserves buy the EU more time to resolve its monetary crisis. Meanwhile, rising Chinese FDI in the EU forges another continental linkage promising economic benefits for both countries. Calder suggests a new world order could come from this symbiotic relationship developing between post-Cold War Europe and its demands and Asia’s rising capabilities. Calder insists, however, that these individual issues cannot be viewed in a vacuum, which is the very reason he juxtaposes energy interdependence with the political developments in the EU. The rise of a single country like China is inevitably tied to the structural circumstances of other regions and should continue to be studied as such. While the future of the Baltic states, the European Union, and the energy market remain unclear, the analytical approach of the New Continentalism offers this lasting contribution. 2 .

By its very creation, NAFTA opened up the possibility for scholars of European integration to add a comparative dimension to their research. Starting with the question whether the differences between North America and Europe are so great as to preclude their meaningful comparison (as implied by the expression, “apples and oranges”), this paper argues that there are enough commonalities between the two continental systems for the comparison of their differences to be analytically and intellectually fruitful. It goes on to propose many areas which Euroscholars might consider for future comparative study and offers as an example a case study by Jean Cushen of the differential impacts of the EU and NAFTA on Ireland’s and Canada’s labour markets. It would be difficult for me to list all the colleagues – scholars and students – who have helped me develop these ideas over the past few years.

  • Russia's “Pivot to Asia”
    Russia’s “Pivot to Asia”: The Multilateral Dimension Stephen Blank STEPHEN BLANK is a Senior Fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council. He can be reached at <[email protected]>. NOTE: Sections of this working paper draw on Stephen Blank, “Russian Writers on the Decline of Russia in the Far East and the Rise of China,” Jamestown Foundation, Russia in Decline Project, September 13, 2016. Working Paper, June 28, 2017 – Stephen Blank EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper explores the opportunities and challenges that Russia has faced in its economic pivot to Asia and examines the potential roadblocks to its future integration with the region with special regard to multilateral Asian institutions. Main Argument Despite the challenges Russia faces, many Russian writers and officials continue to insist that the country is making visible strides forward in its so-called pivot to Asia. Russia’s ability to influence the many multilateral projects that pervade Asia from the Arctic to Southeast Asia and increase its role in them represents an “acid test” of whether or not proclamations of the correctness of Russian policy can stand up to scrutiny. Such scrutiny shows that Russia is failing to benefit from or participate in these projects. The one exception, the Eurasian Union, has become an economic disappointment to both Russia and its other members. Russia is actually steadily losing ground to China in the Arctic, Central Asia, and North Korea. Likewise, in Southeast Asia Moscow has promoted and signed many agreements with members of ASEAN, only to fail to implement them practically. Since Asia, as Moscow well knows, is the most dynamic sector of the global economy, this failure to reform at home and implement the developmental steps needed to compete in Asia can only presage negative geoeconomic and geopolitical consequences for Russia as it steadily becomes increasingly marginalized in the region despite its rhetoric and diplomatic activity.

Despite diverging interests, Moscow and Beijing are linking their Eurasian integration projects, the Belt and Roads Initiative (BRI) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). To avoid the loss of Europe’s trade and regulatory power in Eurasia, the EU and Germany should adjust their Central Asia strategy: – They should focus on Greater Central Asia and Greater East- ern Europe and define an interest-driven, flexible, and regionally diversified approach toward Russia and China. – They should engage both powers with a strategic mix of cooper- ation and competition, but also cooperate with third countries. – Eurasia should be prioritized in Europe’s industrial policy, and more means committed to developing the infrastructure linking Central Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and Western Eurasia. 2 No. 2 | November 2019 Eurasia: Playing Field or Battle Field?

This time I am not here as a trade negotiator or as a participant in the «Quadrila­ teral Trade Ministers' Meeting». The «Quadrilaterals» and their origin are a good example of Canadian involvement in significant chapters of the recent history of world trade. In 1981, the annual Western Economic Summit took place at Montebello, Quebec. Noting the achievements of the Tokyo Round, the Summit parti­ cipants instructed their representatives in the field of trade to keep under close review developments in world trade. And so we did! Canada, the United States, Japan, and the European Community instituted biannual «quadrilateral» meetings representing a useful tool to cope with threats to the world trading system. Another example of Canada's position as an important player 1n the arena of world trade: Under Canadian presidency, both the GATT Ministerial meeting in Geneva in 1982 and the OECD 1984 Ministerial meeting in Paris adopted decisions aimed at stimulating multilateral trade liberalization, such as the rollback of protectionist measures and the acceleration of the tariff reduction schedule of the Tokyo Round.

ABSTRACT Current studies of regional integration in North America claim that this process is limited to the entering of intergovernmental agreements that aim to expand and enhance cross- border flows of goods and capitals between Mexico, Canada and the US. Such studies claim that the political effects of the process on nation-states are limited and constrained by the decisions of the national governments. In contrast, this thesis argues that the actions of transnational actors have increased the policy interdependence between the three countries in the arenas of environmental protection, labour cooperation and protection of foreign direct investment. Transnational actors have used, applied and interpreted the rules originally created by the intergovernmental agreements –NAFTA, NAAEC, BECA and NAALC– and have subsequently demanded additional and improved rules.

Around the world, regionalism has been built on the foundations of functional states, at the same time striving to transcend them. Thus while states are the locus of regionalism, regionalism often seeks to overcome the deficiencies of states by erecting mechanisms that diminish the states’ salience.1 This paradox relates to a number of critical dimensions of states and regionalism. The first is the question of timing. Historically, regionalism has advanced only through contested processes where states learn to cede sovereignty over long periods of interactions across a wide range of domains, in particular the functional sphere of economic co- Regionalism is the operation. Secondly, regionalism grows out of strong, not weak, states with process of building equally long experience in harnessing the gains from sovereignty. Thirdly, the multilateral institutions leadership of strong states (often hegemonic leaders) is frequently pertinent in to enhance political, setting the rules that jumpstart regionalism.

  • The Evolving Nature of Canadian Decision Making in the Afghanistan War, 2001–2014
    FEATURE Managerial Technicalism The Evolving Nature of Canadian Decision Making in the Afghanistan War, 2001–2014 ANVESH JAIN ore than 40,000 members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) served in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014, operating under the aegis of three separate prime ministers, from across partisan lines.1 Measured in Mblood, treasure, and prestige, it was the costliest and most significant deployment of Canadian soldiers since the Korean War. Canadians served bravely and with great distinction in defending the nation’s interests overseas, enabling security and development for the beleaguered Afghan populace, and demonstrating to allies that Canada was a serious and dependable multilateral partner. In the name of these interests, more than 2,000 members of the CAF incurred wounds or injury over the duration of the conflict. By the end of the mission, 165 Canadians, among them seven civilians, had paid the ultimate price.2 It is in their name, their memory, and their debt to which Canada’s strategic community must faithfully and hon- estly account for why we fought in faraway Afghanistan and identify the lessons that must be learned from the nation’s lethal experience there. Canada’s involvement in Afghanistan began in the days and weeks immedi- ately after the dreadful events of the 9/11 terror attacks, with combat operations drawing to a close a full decade later in 2011. In the three years following, a contingent of Canadian advisers stayed on to train and strengthen the Afghan National Army before they too at last returned home as well. To date, there is still much lingering ambiguity as to the purpose and objectives of the Canadian war effort.

  • The Future of Europe in the World, from a Portuguese Perspective
    The future of Europe in the world, from a Portuguese perspective Augusto Santos Silva Minister for Foreign Affairs of Portugal Intervention at the Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA), Dublin 9th of April 2018 EU’s external action has been - since 1993, when the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) was launched - one of the most important dimensions of the project of political union that is at the foundation of the European Union's (EU). Two decisions reflect this well. On the one hand, the EU decided to conceive a global strategy; first, in 2003, with the adoption of the European Security Strategy - A Secure Europe in a Better World (revised in 2008); and most recently, in 2016, with the Global Strategy for the EU's foreign and security policy - Shared Vision, Common Action: A Stronger Europe. On the other hand, the Lisbon Treaty operated, in 2007, a significant organizational change, creating the European External Action Service and consolidating the position of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, who is, at the same time, Vice-President of the European Commission. Consequently, and now that we are discussing the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for the period 2021-2027, there is no shortage of voices to claim that external 1 action, for which the current MFF channels 6% of the Union resources, has to be worth much more. However, what do we really mean and want to put into practice with a Common Foreign and Security Policy? How can it be built out of the soon-to-be 27 member states, where we potentially find stark differences in geo-strategic positions, historical traditions and national or regional interests? What degrees of freedom do you leave to each national foreign policy? And how can Europe benefit from a well-woven combination between the Common Foreign Policy and the various foreign policies of its Members? The 2016 Global Strategy is an obvious departure for answering the first questions.
