The United States and the Macrosecuritisation of the “China Threat” The United States and the Macrosecuritisation of the “China Threat” Jun Yan Chang BSSc (Hons), MSc 0000-0002-6183-2199 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of Political Science and International Studies Abstract The so-called “China Threat” theory suggests that a rising China is a threatening one, especially challenging US international leadership. However, despite significant literature examining the extent to which a rising China constitutes a security threat, very few analyses examine whether China has been represented or “constructed” as a threat. Has China been constructed as a threat by the US government itself? If it has done so, how has the rest of the international community responded to such US depictions? In order to determine the extent to which the US has represented a rising China as a threat to international security, and whether this has succeeded in the relevant audiences, this dissertation adopts a discursive approach novel to the extant literature. It does this through the Copenhagen School’s securitisation theory, which sees security as constructed when the label of “security” is applied. More specifically, through integrating the positive contributions to the study by the three key debates of securitisation theory since its introduction, as well as accounting for the macro-scale of China’s rise, this dissertation develops a post-Copenhagen macrosecuritisation theory that is more appropriate to the research questions. In examining US representations and practices using this post-Copenhagen macrosecuritisation theory, this thesis finds that from 2006-2016, the time period of this study, the US has overall consistently represented China’s rise as a security risk to the Asia-Pacific across the military, political, economic and environmental sectors, but not as a threat. Moreover, within the audience states of Indonesia and Singapore, such US representations have only been partially accepted. In clarifying these arguments, this thesis both contributes to the conceptual literature on securitisation and addresses a relative absence of the application of discursive frameworks to the question of the “China threat”.

I am most grateful for having the chance to fulfil my dream. It would never have been possible without the support of many throughout this journey. My supervisors, Matt McDonald and Andrew Phillips, have been invaluable. Andrew’s perspicacious feedback has prodded me to do better. Matt has been exemplary and inspirational. He is who I want to be when I grow up (and take my own students). My deepest gratitude to Andrew and Matt. The S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies has been integral to my PhD. Not only did it fund my PhD, my mentors and colleagues there have also given me the opportunities, tools and space to do my research and writing, as well as support other aspects of my work. Special thanks go to Ang Cheng Guan, Alicia Cheung, Alan Chong, Ralf Emmers, Joseph Liow, Ambassador Ong Keng Yong, Sng Seow Lian, Adrian Tan, Jenny Tan and Tan See Seng. I am also indebted to many friends and colleagues (past and present) in the Military Studies Programme, the library and other departments. In particular, Caroline Chin, Ho Shu Huang, Collin Swee Lean Koh and Angela Poh kept me sane. Being a remote student has been challenging, but it would have been a lot tougher without the awesome administrative support from Muriwai Vanessa Salam, Marja Knuutilla, Tom Court and Kirstin Woodward. I would also like to thank everyone who has been to my milestones – especially my readers, Jessica Kirk (twice) and Raditya Kusumaningprang – for their feedback on earlier drafts of this thesis. It is only thanks to my family’s support that I could be writing this. I wish I can meet my mother in the hereafter to tell her about this journey.

Grafis 3D menjadi sarana untuk mencapai generasi dunia fiksi dalam imajinasi pemain yang tumbuh dari pemahaman representasi 3D sehingga membentuk permainan yang immersive. Untuk membangun permainan yang naratif maka game dirancang dengan membuat skenario cerita pertempuran berupa step-step yang terdiri dari kumpulan event dalam permainan. Dari skenario cerita pertempuran terdapat objektif yaitu event yang berupa tugas untuk pemain. Berdasarkan tugasnya objektif dapat dikelompokkan menjadi 5 tipe yaitu lingkup area, pointer lokasi, menyerang kapal, menyerang pesawat, menyerang pillbox. Metode Iterative design digunakaan untuk menguji objektif apabila diterapkan dalam permainan dengan cara membuat rapid prototipe, melakukan playtest, dan melakukan revisi. Aktivitas tersebut dilakukan berulang kali sampai permainan dianggap layak diimplementasikan. Implementasi karakter 3D dibutuhkan agar tercipta asset karakter-karakter yang terlibat dalam skenario cerita pertempuran yaitu terdapat 7 tipe karakter berupa kapal, pesawat, dan pillbox.

Rajaratnam School of International Studies Nanyang Technological University Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong declared in his eulogy at other public figures in Britain, the United States or China, the state funeral for Dr Goh Keng Swee that “Dr Goh was Dr Goh left no memoirs.

But more importantly, he changed the lives of many who worked alongside him and in his public career initiated policies that have fundamentally shaped the destiny of Singapore. Our primary memories of Dr Goh will be through an awareness and understanding of the post-World War II anti-colonialist and nationalist struggle for independence in which Dr Goh played a key, if backstage, role until 1959. Thereafter, Dr Goh is remembered as the country’s economic and social architect as well as its defence strategist and one of Lee Kuan Yew’s ablest and most trusted lieutenants in our narrating of what has come to be recognised as “The Singapore Story”.

  • 28. Rights Defense and New Citizen's Movement
    JOBNAME: EE10 Biddulph PAGE: 1 SESS: 3 OUTPUT: Fri May 10 14:09:18 2019 28. Rights defense and new citizen’s movement Teng Biao 28.1 THE RISE OF THE RIGHTS DEFENSE MOVEMENT The ‘Rights Defense Movement’ (weiquan yundong) emerged in the early 2000s as a new focus of the Chinese democracy movement, succeeding the Xidan Democracy Wall movement of the late 1970s and the Tiananmen Democracy movement of 1989. It is a social movement ‘involving all social strata throughout the country and covering every aspect of human rights’ (Feng Chongyi 2009, p. 151), one in which Chinese citizens assert their constitutional and legal rights through lawful means and within the legal framework of the country. As Benney (2013, p. 12) notes, the term ‘weiquan’is used by different people to refer to different things in different contexts. Although Chinese rights defense lawyers have played a key role in defining and providing leadership to this emerging weiquan movement (Carnes 2006; Pils 2016), numerous non-lawyer activists and organizations are also involved in it. The discourse and activities of ‘rights defense’ (weiquan) originated in the 1990s, when some citizens began using the law to defend consumer rights. The 1990s also saw the early development of rural anti-tax movements, labor rights campaigns, women’s rights campaigns and an environmental movement. However, in a narrow sense as well as from a historical perspective, the term weiquan movement only refers to the rights campaigns that emerged after the Sun Zhigang incident in 2003 (Zhu Han 2016, pp. 55, 60). The Sun Zhigang incident not only marks the beginning of the rights defense movement; it also can be seen as one of its few successes.

    The “Black-Jewish Coalition” Unraveled: Where Does Israel Fit? A Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Hornstein Jewish Professional Leadership Program Professors Ellen Smith and Jonathan Krasner Ph.D., Advisors In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Leah Robbins May 2020 Copyright by Leah Robbins 2020 Acknowledgements This thesis was made possible by the generous and thoughtful guidance of my two advisors, Professors Ellen Smith and Jonathan Krasner. Their content expertise, ongoing encouragement, and loving pushback were invaluable to the work. This research topic is complex for the Jewish community and often wrought with pain. My advisors never once questioned my intentions, my integrity as a researcher, or my clear and undeniable commitment to the Jewish people of the past, present, and future. I do not take for granted this gift of trust, which bolstered the work I’m so proud to share. I am also grateful to the entire Hornstein community for making room for me to show up in my fullness, and for saying “yes” to authentically wrestle with my ideas along the way. It’s been a great privilege to stretch and grow alongside you, and I look forward to continuing to shape one another in the years to come. iii ABSTRACT The “Black-Jewish Coalition” Unraveled: Where Does Israel Fit? A thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Leah Robbins Fascination with the famed “Black-Jewish coalition” in the United States, whether real or imaginary, is hardly a new phenomenon of academic interest.

  • INDIANA MAGAZINE of HISTORY Volume LI JUNE,1955 Number 2
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume LI JUNE,1955 Number 2 Hoosier Senior Naval Officers in World War I1 John B. Heffermn* Indiana furnished an exceptional number of senior of- ficers to the United States Navy in World War 11, and her sons were in the very forefront of the nation’s battles, as casualty lists and other records testify. The official sum- mary of casualties of World War I1 for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, covering officers and men, shows for Indiana 1,467 killed or died of wounds resulting from combat, 32 others died in prison camps, 2,050 wounded, and 94 released prisoners of war. There were in the Navy from Indiana 9,412 officers (of this number, probably about 6 per- cent or 555 were officers of the Regular Navy, about 10 per- cent or 894 were temporary officers promoted from enlisted grades of the Regular Navy, and about 85 percent or 7,963 were Reserve officers) and 93,219 enlisted men, or a total of 102,631. In the Marine Corps a total of 15,360 officers and men were from Indiana, while the Coast Guard had 229 offic- ers and 3,556 enlisted men, for a total of 3,785 Hoosiers. Thus, the overall Indiana total for Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard was 121,776. By way of comparison, there were about 258,870 Hoosiers in the Army.l There is nothing remarkable about the totals and Indiana’s representation in the Navy was not exceptional in quantity; but it was extraordinary in quality.

  • Konfrontasi: 1963
    BACKGROUND & MECHANICS GUIDE KONFRONTASI: 1963 2 BACKGROUND GUIDE WELCOME FROM THE DIAS Hello Delegates, My name is Yue Ting Kong, and welcome to the SSICsim 2019 JCC, Konfrontasi. Set during the Cold War in Southeast Asia, where Indonesia and the Commonwealth were in a quasi-war over the fate of the unification of Malaysia. In this committee you will encounter counter-insurgency tactics, guerrilla warfare and terrorism. However, you’ll also see the issues brought forth by the Race Riots that took place in Malaysia during its federation and the divide between communists and the non-aligned movements in Indonesia. This two-faced committee will explore an area of the world going through nationalism, decolonization and the Cold War, hoping to advance your nations by achieving a balance between political manoeuvring and military force. History has largely forgotten this conflict and its surrounding events which helped shape the world we live in today. This conflict led to the formation of the Association of Southeast Asian States (ASEAN), and fermented the independence of Malaysia in the international community. The Race Riots that occurred during the war led the independence of Singapore under Lee Kwan Yew and its evolution into a strong Asian Tiger. In Indonesia, it led to the collapse of an increasingly communist regime and the creation of a country who would become incredibly important to the non-aligned movement. A bit of background on myself, I’m a Second Year History Specialist at the University of Toronto and this will be my 7th year doing Model United Nations. Best of luck delegates and I look forward to meeting you all at the conference.
