The issue opens with an article by Nicholas Greenwood Onuf on center-periphery relations. Drawing on acclaimed peace researcher Johan Galtung’s work on structural violence and imperialism, Onuf describes a threefold picture of the relations between the center and the periphery. Looking from his distinct ‘Onuvian’ rule-based constructivist lens, he proposes to re-write Galtung’s structural theory by assigning rules and the rule, i.e. the system for the distribution of privilege that rules create, a central role. For him, the global imperialist system is ruled through a functionally segmented hegemony, supported by hierarchical coercion against a heteronomous background. He reckons that there is a growing resistance to the global system of hegemonial imperialism, but this resistance is unfocused. Therefore, the end of hegemony may come because of the diminishing capacity of the capitalist world economy to pay for such a system rather than as a consequence of any such resistance. The second article of this issue is by Simon Reich and Richard Ned Lebow. Following up on the main argument of their 2014 book Good-bye Hegemony, Reich and Lebow argue that American hegemony is mostly a fiction, propagated by realism and liberalism. Looking for the good side of hegemony such as economic functions and its expected benefits, i.e. global political and economic stability, they claim that the US has almost never been much of a hegemon. They contend that US hegemony was—at most—a short-lived phase in the aftermath of the Second World War. Since then, they propose, US actions have often threatened the order the US is supposed to uphold. Consequently, they declare hegemony in its current form is unnecessary and even perhaps detrimental to global stability. Conceptually, the authors argue, the commitment to hegemony stands in the way of our understanding

  • White Cat, Black Cat Or Good Cat: the Beijing Consensus As an Alternative Philosophy for Policy Deliberation? the Case of China
    DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL POLICY AND INTERVENTION BARNETT PAPERS IN SOCIAL RESEARCH White Cat, Black Cat or Good Cat: The Beijing Consensus as an Alternative Philosophy for Policy Deliberation? The Case of China Reza Hasmath WORKING PAPER 14-02 November 2014 Editor: Erzsébet Bukodi Department of Social Policy and Intervention University of Oxford Barnett House 32 Wellington Square Oxford, OX1 2ER [email protected] White Cat, Black Cat or Good Cat: The Beijing Consensus as an Alternative Philosophy for Policy Deliberation? The Case of China Reza Hasmath School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, University of Oxford Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper argues that the Beijing Consensus represents a philosophical movement towards an ultra-pragmatic view of conducting policy deliberation. Contrary to models of development which provide a subset of policy prescriptions for the policymakers’ disposal or a fundamentalist adherence to a particular economic tradition, the philosophical intentionality of the Beijing Consensus is reflected in the infamous words of Deng Xiaoping “I do not care if it is a white cat or a black cat … It is a good cat so long as it catches mice”. That is, the Beijing Consensus inherently recognises that each development scenario has a potential set of challenges that may require unique and/or experimental solutions factoring the current political, social and economic environment. This ultra-pragmatism will require the policymaker to engage in greater policy experimentation, and to have a larger risk-elasticity. Further, this philosophy is most aptly demonstrated by looking at the aggregation of practices and lessons learned using the recent policy experiences of China.

    The Charlie Rose Show April 13, 2010 Analysis of Obama`s Nuclear Security Summit GUESTS: Sam Nunn, David Sanger, Joshua Cooper Ramo CHARLIE ROSE: We begin tonight with the nuclear security summit that wrapped up in Washington earlier today. The gathering of 47 world leaders was the largest hosted by an American president since Franklin Roosevelt called a meeting that created the United Nations. The summit is the largest and latest step in President Obama`s bold nuclear diplomacy. He has pledged to secure all loose nuclear materials during his first term in office. Addressing the plenary session this morning, the president spoke of the threat of nuclear terrorism. CHARLIE ROSE: Joining me now is Joshua Cooper Ramo of Kissinger Associates. He`s a former journalist who has written this piece in "Time" magazine "The China Challenge, A New Way Forward," from Atlanta, former senator Sam Nunn. He is CEO of the Nuclear Threat Initiative. And joining us shortly from Washington, David Sanger of "The New York Times" who`s been covering this summit all day. I`m pleased to have all of them on this broadcast. And of course I begin with Sam Nunn in Atlanta. Tell me what you think this summit has accomplished and what difference it makes. SAM NUNN: Charlie, it makes a big difference in terms of getting the world focused, particularly the leadership, focused on what I believe is our most serious security threat, and that is the possibility of catastrophic nuclear terrorism. For the last ten years I`ve been posing a couple questions.

  • Asian Tiger Or Fragile Dragon? Introduction
    Asian Tiger or Fragile Dragon? ----Understanding China’s Development Model Fubing Su Department of Political Science Vassar College 124 Raymond Ave Poughkeepsie, NY 12604 [email protected] Ran Tao School of Economics Remin University of China Haidian District Beijing, China 100872 [email protected] Introduction China has become a source of excitement and contention. Its dramatic growth and sustained development have fascinated scholars from different disciplines and inspired creative works on economic growth (Lin, 1992; Brandt and Zhu, 2000; Song 2011; Rodrik 2008), market institutions (Guthrie, 1997; Wank, 1999; Whyte, 1995), federalism (Montinola, Qian and Weingast, 1995), transition (Naughton, 1996; Yang, 1997), and capitalism (Hung 2008). These studies not only brought to light the underlying currents that carried the tide of China, but also facilitated critical reflections on the mainstream theories deeply rooted in western experiences. In recent years, a similar excitement started to animate passionate debates about the most appropriate development strategies for developing countries. Many policy analysts looked to China for innovative ideas and concrete policies that worked. One analyst, Joshua Cooper Ramo, was particularly provocative and claimed that a “made-in-China” development model had already emerged in the East (Ramo, 2004). According to him, the Chinese success was based on a set of policies, including emphasis on research, innovation, sustainability, and equality. Most important of all, the Beijing Consensus, in Ramo’s word, endorsed a more active role of the state 1 in orchestrating national development and setting the terms for global engagement. This new development approach challenged the founding principles and policy prescriptions of the Washington Consensus (Williamson, 1989).

    Loading “MSNBC - Does the Future Belong to China?” 02/09/2006 11:04 PM MSNBC.com Does the Future Belong to China? A new power is emerging in the East. How America should handle unprecedented new challenges, threats —and opportunities. By Fareed Zakaria Newsweek May 9 issue - Americans admire beauty, but they are truly dazzled by bigness. Think of the Grand Canyon, the California redwoods, Grand Central Terminal, Disney World, SUVs, the American armed forces, General Electric, the Double Quarter Pounder (With Cheese) and the Venti Latte. Europeans prefer complexity and nuance, the Japanese revere minuteness and minimalism. But Americans like size, preferably supersize. That's why China hits the American imagination so hard. It is a country whose scale dwarfs the United States—1.3 billion people, four times America's population. For more than a hundred years it was dreams of this magnitude that fascinated small groups of American missionaries and businessmen—1 billion souls to save; 2 billion armpits to deodorize—but it never amounted to anything. China was very big, but very poor. All that is changing. But now the very size and scale that seemed so alluring is beginning to look ominous. And Americans are wondering whether the "China threat" is nightmarishly real. Every businessman these days has a dazzling statistic about China, meant to stun the listener into silence. And they are an impressive set of numbers. China is now the world's largest producer of coal, steel and cement, the second largest consumer of energy and the third largest importer of oil, which is why gas prices are soaring.

    _31.1_GORDON_ARTICLE 11 (DO NOT DELETE) 4/21/2017 3:19 PM DEVELOPMENT DISRUPTED: THE GLOBAL SOUTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY Ruth Gordon * I. PROLOGUE: THE REMARKABLE LEGACY OF PROFESSOR HENRY J. RICHARDSON III When I was a very young lawyer—that is many, many moons ago—I sat at the feet of the brilliant Gay McDougall, an extraordinary woman who led the Southern Africa Project of the Lawyers‘ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and who helped set my career path. Like all remarkable women, Gay knew other remarkable people: the man who would become her husband, the late John Payton, and the man we honor with this festschrift—Professor Henry J. Richardson III. We were assisting the people of South Africa in their struggle for the liberation of their country, during its darker (of which there were many) days. We, or perhaps I should say they—with me just being glad to be in the room—were plotting, trying to figure out how to damage and eventually terminate that brutal, murderous regime. Ultimately, I believe we played some role in the success of that struggle; indeed, the Southern Africa Project, and many others, helped the brave men and women of South Africa liberate themselves. I was able to work with Gay, who eventually pointed me in the direction of London and the London School of Economics and to Professor Richardson, who would later welcome me to the legal academy in the finest mode possible. He introduced me around—and that would be many introductions for Henry is truly one of the great men of international law, a true giant, and thus his introduction meant something.

    Negotiating the Boundaries of (In)Visibility: Asian American Men and Asian/American Masculinity on Screen by Helen Kar-Yee Ho A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor Susan J. Douglas, Co-Chair Associate Professor Robin Renee Means Coleman, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Aswin Punathambekar Professor Alford A. Young, Jr. © Helen Kar-Yee Ho ———— 2011 To Mom, Dad, Liz, and Mark ii Acknowledgements A project so long in the making makes it difficult to know where to begin in thanking the many who have provided me with support and love along the way. It has been accompanied by the ups and downs of any major, multi-year project: the highs of discovering a new idea, the lows of struggling to articulate a new idea, and everything in between. I have filled the many roles of graduate student, teacher, staff assistant, research assistant, researcher and writer at the University of Michigan, and this frenetic and exhausting life would have been made unspeakably difficult if it were not for the many friends and their iterations of support along the way. The most profound, heartfelt thanks go to my dissertation committee, without whom this work would never have been designed, conducted, and completed in the way it was. Their doors were always open to me as a colleague and fellow researcher, and for that I am ever grateful. Robin Means Coleman provided continual support, tough love and structured guidance, helping me learn to grow into my skin as a scholar.
