  • From Asian to Global Financial Crisis
    This page intentionally left blank FROM ASIAN TO GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS This is a unique insider account of the new world of unfettered finance. The author, an Asian regulator, examines how old mindsets, market fundamental- ism, loose monetary policy, carry trade, lax supervision, greed, cronyism, and financial engineering caused both the Asian crisis of the late 1990s and the cur- rent global crisis of 2007–2009. This book shows how the Japanese zero inter- est rate policy to fight deflation helped create the carry trade that generated bubbles in Asia whose effects brought Asian economies down. The study’s main purpose is to demonstrate that global finance is so interlinked and interactive that our current tools and institutional structure to deal with critical episodes are completely outdated. The book explains how current financial policies and regulation failed to deal with a global bubble and makes recommendations on what must change. Andrew Sheng is currently the Chief Adviser to the China Banking Regulatory Commission and a Board Member of the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority, Khazanah Nasional Berhad and Sime Darby Berhad, Malaysia. He is also Adjunct Professor at the Graduate School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University, Beijing, and at the Faculty of Economics and Administration at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. Mr Sheng was Chairman of the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong from 1998 to 2005. A former central banker with Bank Negara Malaysia and Hong Kong Monetary Authority, between 2003 and 2005 he was Chairman of the Technical Committee of IOSCO, the International Organization of Securities Commissions, the standard setter for securities regulation.

    BANKING ON THE FUTURE OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC Banking on the Future of Asia and the Pacifi c 50 Years of the Asian Development Bank This book is a history of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), a multilateral development bank established 50 years ago to serve Asia and the Pacifi c. Focusing on the region’s BANK DEVELOPMENT YEARS OF THE ASIAN economic development, the evolution of the international development agenda, and the story of ADB itself, Banking on the Future of Asia and the Pacifi c raises several key questions: What are the outstanding features of regional development to which ADB had to respond? How has the bank grown and evolved in changing circumstances? How did ADB’s successive leaders promote reforms while preserving continuity with the e orts of their predecessors? ADB has played an important role in the transformation of Asia and the Pacifi c over the past 50 years. As ADB continues to evolve and adapt to the region’s changing development landscape, the experiences highlighted in this book can provide valuable insight on how best to serve Asia and the Pacifi c in the future.

    t- 0 C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L ciA7t-e gg C 3 - NO FOREIGN DISSEM KAYA, Okinori JAPAN MINISTER OF JUSTICE Okinori Kaya, newly appointed Minister of Justice, has been an influential figure on the Japanese political scene for many years. Before his current appointment, Kaya had served since July 1962 as Chairman of the Liberal-Democratic Party (LDP) Policy Board. A chief policy maker and leading economic and financial expert in the LDP, Kaya has been described as an "elder statesman" ranking just below former Prime Ministers Shigeru Yoshida and Nobusuke Kishi. Despite ten years of imprisonment after World War II as a result of his service in the wartime Tbjo cabinet, Kaya is described as pro-American; he is an advocate of Japanese rearmament and was active in the cam- paign for revision of the US-Japan Security Treaty. A member of the House of Representatives from Tokyos third district since May 1958, Kaya has also served the LDP as Chairman of its Social Security Research Council (1960-1961) and of its Foreign Affairs Research Council (1959- 1960). During 1959 he also served as an adviser to the Economic De- velopment Promotion Committee. Formerly a member of the Kishi faction, Kaya aligned himself with neither of the groups formed after-Kishi dissolved his faction in November 1962. He is now considered to hold no formal factional affiliation, but he has in general cooperated with Prime Minister Ikeda. Kaya was born on 30 January 1889, the third son of the chief priest of a large Shinto shrine in Yamaguchi prefecture.

  • Other Parts of Asia
    ARNDT’S STORY . 21 OTHER PARTS OF ASIA Despite Heinz’s passion for Indonesia, it would be wrong to categorise him as merely an ‘Indonesianist’. His early Asian engagements, as we have seen, were in Malaya, Singapore and India. For the rest of his life, he retained strong academic connections and friendships in many parts of Asia. (He never went to China or to Africa; and he visited Latin America only fleetingly.) Bangkok especially interested him, largely because of his membership of the Governing Council of the UN Asian Institute for Economic Development and Planning (ADI for short). This institute was financed by contributions from the member countries of the UN Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE), with an annual supplement from the UN Development Program (UNDP). Heinz, under the patronage of Mick Shann, was elected to the council for two terms, from 1969 to 1974. He greatly enjoyed the council’s annual Bangkok meetings. They usually occupied a couple of days, so there was plenty of time to cultivate and nourish friendships, such as with the Indonesians Widjojo and Sumarlin, and Gerry Sicat, an economist from the University of the Philippines in Manila. A social highlight of each meeting was an informal dinner at the house of U Nyun, ECAFE’s Executive Secretary. On these occasions, more serious discussions were punctuated by friendly banter, such as the light-hearted argument about which country produced the finest mangoes. Heinz observed, wryly, that he ‘did not feel called upon to bat for Queensland’. As is often the case with such bodies, the ADI was torn between teaching and research.

  • The Development of US Extended Nuclear Deterrence Over Japan: a Study of Invisible Deterrence Between 1945 and 1970
    The University Of Reading The Development of US Extended Nuclear Deterrence over Japan: A Study of Invisible Deterrence between 1945 and 1970 Hiroshi Nakatani PhD, Politics Department of Politics and International Relations February 2019 Declaration of Original Authorship Declaration: I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all materials from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged Hiroshi Nakatani 1 This thesis is dedicated to the late Colonel Matuo Keiichi for his service to Japan. 2 Acknowledgments Throughout my PhD life, many people and institutions have thoughtfully supported and encouraged my work. 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.
