A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The opening tribute goes to my venerable coach, Professor Terada, without whose encouragement and strong support, I would not have gathered the courage to make the intellectual voyage to Tokyo. I thank Professor Terada for believing in my research and showing me the way to arrive at academic excellence. I had the privilege of learning from one of the brightest minds in economics. Words cannot express my heartfelt gratitude to Professor Urata who had been a kind and supportive mentor in this expedition. I am also grateful to Professor Hatsue Shinohara for having me in her seminars and for her invaluable advice which motivated me to press on in this scholarly pursuit. I thank the Government of Japan for awarding me the prestigious Monbukagakusho Scholarship (文部科学省奨学金) to undertake this expedition. I thank my family and friends in Singapore for their love and support. I am indebted to my wife, Michelle, for her unceasing prayers and for cheering me on each step of the way. She gave me strength to go the extra mile. This marathon is dedicated to her. Above all, I thank the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, for the power and the strength to run the distance and cross the finishing line. “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) vi Abstract Does recognition matter for a region as much as it does for a state and a person? This dissertation1 examines the power of recognition in shaping regional cooperation. Rather than focusing on the behaviours and interactions between member states which most studies have done, the discussion introduces a recognition model to investigate how the social practices of a region with non-member entities promote regional cooperation. By viewing recognition as a tradable commodity and an independent variable, the framework illustrates how the contest for recognition permeates beyond inter-personal and inter-state interactions to include the struggle for recognition by regions. The model hypothesizes that the extent of recognition accorded to a region has an influence on its development. Drawing on newly released U.S. and Australian declassified diplomatic records, this dissertation tests out the soundness of the proposed model for the recognition of regions by analyzing ASEAN’s struggle for recognition during its formative years in the 1960-70s with major powers, including the U.S., Soviet Union, Japan, the European Economic Community, China and Australia. The findings suggest that the strengthening of a regional concept is influenced by the willingness of, and the extent to which, foreign powers recognize the entity. The central theme of this dissertation is that external recognition plays an important function in the development of a regional concept. Key words: ASEAN; East Asia; recognition; regionalism; regional cooperation; regionhood. 1 A shorter paper based on the key thrusts of this dissertation has been accepted for publication in a UK peer-review journal. See Ong, B., Recognizing Regions: ASEAN’s Struggle for Recognition, The Pacific Review (forthcoming 2012). vii Chapter 1: Overview 1.1 Introduction In a telegram to the U.S. State Department on 18 February 1976, U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia David Newsom proposed for President Ford to sign off a congratulatory letter to be delivered to Indonesian President Soeharto, on the occasion of the first Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) Summit Meeting on 23-24 February 1976, with the suggested text below: Dear President Soeharto, The first meeting of ASEAN Chiefs of Government in Bali is an event of historic importance. On this occasion I would like to convey through you, as host for the conference, my best wishes to each of the assembled leaders and my sincere hope that their deliberations will yield many positive benefits to the peoples of the ASEAN nations. Sincerely, Gerald R. Ford (U.S. Embassy in Jakarta 1976a) The proposed presidential message was never delivered to ASEAN. After careful considerations, Washington decided against dispatching the congratulatory note to ASEAN. The U.S. State Department (1976a) explained that its decision not to send the letter was based on “various factors including our awareness of ASEAN concern over its non-aligned image and counter-point of our not wishing to appear 1 overly aloof”. Crossing over to the other side of the Pacific, the Government of Japan was also trying to ascertain if its closest allies like Australia, New Zealand and the U.S. would be extending a congratulatory message to ASEAN in the weeks leading to that inaugural Summit. How did the question of whether to send such a simple congratulatory letter to the Southeast Asian grouping, formalized more than 10 years ago in 1967, become such a controversial and political decision? What is at stake here are the effects that such political acts of recognition, in this case, the dispatch of a congratulatory letter, have on the development of regional concepts like ASEAN and how such external recognition or actions influence the attitudes and behaviors of member states within the grouping, as well as that of other external actors toward the entity. The role and power of recognition is an area which has been largely neglected in the study of regional cooperation. Between states, international law looks at how recognition of a prior-state confers legal status and international personality.

In order to ensure that all pertinent details and data for this official report, as stipulated in the Olymjnc Charter, would be carefully preserved, this Organizing Committee set up a sub-committee for this purpose in April 1962 some two years before the Games took place. This sub-committee included a representation from each division of the Secretariat and with the Public Relations Division (later the Press and Public In­ formation Division) outlying the overall plan of collecting and collating the many necessary facts and details as they occurred. This sub-committee was early in 1964 reorganized to a “Report Editing Sub-Committee” to prepare for the final compilation in a form for presentation in a comprehensive report. In the collecting of overall details of the Games preparations, cooperation was required from agencies and organizations other than the actual Organizing Committee itself and in this, we are most grateful for the assistance willingly extended by the various agencies of the National Government, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and the other Prefectural and City authorities involved with certain aspects or sports facilities used for the Games.

It is probably most appropriate to begin by acknowledging the School of Politics, International Relations and Economics, University of Reading for its financial assistance for three years. I am also extremely indebted to the Lyndon Johnson Library, the British Association for Japanese Studies and Reading Travel Research Grants for providing me with research grants, which enabled me to travel and research abroad. Without their generous financial support, this research project would not have been possible. I would also like to express my appreciation to my supervisors. I have been fortunate to have three supervisors. It was my greatest honour to work under Professor Beatrice Heuser, for whom I came to Reading. She has taught me many invaluable things which otherwise I could have never learned. She has taught me how to conduct great research and treat your students in particular. As a matter of fact, finding a greater supervisor than her can be more difficult to finish a PhD. I would also like to thank Professor Alan Cromartie for his supervision and patience.
  • Japan's Shift in the Nuclear Debate

    Japan's Shift in the Nuclear Debate

    Draft—Please do not cite or circulate without author’s permission. Japan’s Shift in the Nuclear Debate: A Changing Identity? Sayuri Romei, Center for International Security and Cooperation, Stanford University 1 Abstract: Throughout the Cold War, Japanese leaders and policy-makers have generally been careful to reflect the public’s firm opposition to anti-nuclear sentiment. However, the turn of the 21st century has witnessed a remarkable shift in the political debate, with élites alluding to a nuclear option for Japan. This sudden proliferation of nuclear statements among Japanese élites in 2002 has been directly linked by Japan watchers to the break out of the second North Korean nuclear crisis and the rapid buildup of China’s military capabilities. Is the Japanese perception of this double military threat in Northeast Asia really the main factor that triggered this shift in the nuclear debate? This paper argues that Japanese élites’ behavior rather indicates that the new threats in the regional strategic context is merely used as a pretext to solve a more deep-rooted and long-standing anxiety that stems from Japan’s own unsuccessful quest for a less reactive, and more proactive post-Cold War identity. 2 Keywords: Japanese identity, nuclear debate, post-Cold War, nuclear hedging, nuclear latency, nuclear power, political maturity, perception Introduction: The scarring events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 shaped the history of Japan and its people's perception of nuclear weapons, which in turn shaped the country's strategic culture and security policy. However, partially because those infamous events were considered still part of the war, and certainly because of the media censorship imposed at the time by the General Headquarters,1 it was the Lucky Dragon Number 5 (Daigo Fukuryū-Maru) incident on March 1, 1954, that unleashed for the first time a fierce nationwide anti-nuclear movement.

    University of Heidelberg Department of Economics Discussion Paper Series No. 604 Do Development Minister Characteristics Affect Aid Giving? Andreas Fuchs and Katharina Richert November 2015 Do Development Minister Characteristics Affect Aid Giving?* ANDREAS FUCHS, Heidelberg University, Germany KATHARINA RICHERT#, Heidelberg University, Germany This version: November 2015 Abstract: Over 300 government members have had the main responsibility for international development cooperation in 23 member countries of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee since the organization started reporting detailed Official Development Assistance (ODA) data in 1967. Understanding their role in foreign aid giving is crucial since their decisions might directly impact aid effectiveness and thus economic development on the ground. Our study examines whether development ministers’ personal characteristics influence aid budgets and aid quality. To this end, we create a novel database on development ministers’ gender, political ideology, prior professional experience in development cooperation, education in economics, and time in office over the 1967- 2012 period. Results from fixed-effects panel regressions show that some of the personal characteristics of development ministers matter. Most notably, we find that more experienced ministers with respect to their time in office obtain larger aid budgets. Moreover, there is evidence that female ministers as well as officeholders with prior professional experience in development cooperation and a longer time in office provide higher-quality ODA.
