  • Public Intellectuals Program
    PUBLIC INTELLECTUALS PROGRAM The National Committee on United States-China Relations’ Public Intellectuals Program is designed to nurture a new generation of China specialists who have the interest and potential to play significant roles as public intellectuals. The goal of the program is to upgrade the quality of the American public’s understanding of China by strengthening links among U.S. academics, policymakers, and opinion leaders. The first three rounds of the program (2005-13) were funded with grants from The Henry Luce Foundation and The Starr Foundation. The fourth and fifth rounds of the program (2014-18) are funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York. Through a varied set of activities, the program helps twenty young American China scholars and other specialists deepen and broaden their knowledge about China’s politics, economics, and society, and encourages them to use this knowledge to inform policy and public opinion. The multi-year enrichment opportunity is intended to complement the fellows’ primary academic or professional positions. It includes two meetings in Washington focusing on the D.C.-based China policy community; a meeting in San Francisco; trips to China as a cohort; participation in National Committee programs as scholar-escorts; access to a media coach who can assist fellows in writing and placing op-eds; and a requirement that the fellows organize local public education programs.

  • China & Globalization Jeffrey Wasserstrom
    China & Globalization Jeffrey Wasserstrom Abstract: In recent decades, China has become increasingly enmeshed in global institutions and global flows. This article places that phenomenon into historical perspective via a look back to important globalizing trends of a key earlier period: the late 1800s through early 1900s. The essay draws heavily on C. A. Bayly’s discussion of that period, which emphasizes the way that moves toward uniformity do not necessarily produce homogeneity. Bayly’s work is used both to illustrate the limitations of some competing ideas about contemporary globalization and how China is or is not being transformed by it, and to provide a basis for arguing that we are again seeing, now in China, important moves toward uniformity that are not erasing important differences between cultures and countries. How far back in time should one begin in an essay on China and globalization? The term global- ization may have gained widespread purchase in its current sense only beginning in the 1960s, but ideas, objects, and people have been circulating across the planet for millennia. This has led some analysts to identify precursors to, or even earlier stages of, globalization in eras much before our own. More- over, it is commonplace to describe China as having a very long history. And recent scholarship–on topics ranging from Silk Road travelers of the Tang Dynasty (618–907) to voyages of exploration and visits to Beijing by Jesuits during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644)–has clearly shown that for much of that extended past, clichés of Chinese isolation and self-containment notwithstanding, China has been continually influenced by, and in turn has had a con - tinual influence on, populations and developments JEFFREY WASSERSTROM is the outside its ever-shifting borders.1 Chancellor’s Professor of History Still, given the current interest in making sense at the University of California, Ir - of China’s rise during a new stage of globalization, vine.

  • Exe-Xi-Sis on Making China Great Again Xi Jinping's 19Th Party
    Exe‐Xi‐sis on Making China Great Again Xi Jinping’s 19th Party Congress Report Stephen B. Herschler Oglethorpe University January 2018 Just after the 19th Party Congress in October, a second volume of Xi Jinping’s Thoughts was published, I quickly moved to order my own copy through Amazon. Weeks later, still no anticipated delivery date. If I am to believe the website Stalin’s Moustache, that’s because Chinese citizens are voraciously buying up books by and about Xi Jinping Thought. The recent 19th Party Congress may well require revising many previous publications. At the Congress, Xi Jinping followed Communist Party of China (CPC) tradition in presenting a Report – 报告 baogao ‐ to the 2,200‐odd delegates assembled and to the nearly 1.4 billion Chinese citizens more generally. One thing that broke with tradition was the sheer length of his speech: 3 ½ hours. The length results in part from the CPC’s comprehensive governance – implicating all facets of Chinese society. That’s lots of ground for a speech – and the Party – to cover. Xi clearly felt comfortable claiming the verbal space, using it to map out a path to Make China – as State and Nation – Great Again. Western press reports have picked up on the event as Xi’s fast‐track enshrinement among the pantheon of Great Chinese Communist leaders. Xi’s trademark ideology – Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Special Characteristics – championed in the Report, has already been ensconced in the Chinese Constitution. This is notable as his predecessors, Jiang and Hu, were inscribed only toward the end of their ten‐year tenures, not mid‐term.

Ambassador Stephens not only deserves the Building Bridges Award, she epitomizes it. If we didn't have the award, we might have to create something just like it so we could give it to her. Consider the wording under which the award was created in 2000. It was "to honor those who have enhanced relations between Americans and Asians and who exemplify the Pacific Century Institute's commitment to building bridges to a better future." Building Bridges of understanding to a better future is exactly what Ambassador Stephens has done her entire life, both before and after becoming a career diplomat. Currently, as Ambassador to Korea, Kathleen Stephens enjoys a great personal popularity in that country...and for good learned the qualities I needed to be a diplomat. I had warm- reason.

  • Monthy Recap: May
    MONTHY RECAP: MAY DPRK NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS May opened with optimistic statements from U.S. envoy to six-party talks Christopher Hill and his newly appointed counterpart from South Korea, Kim Sook, after meeting in Washington,. Hill stated that after the DPRK completes its requirements, “[the United States] will certainly complete ours.” A Washington spokesperson also reaffirmed at the beginning of May U.S. commitment to remove North Korea from its list of terrorism-sponsoring states, although at the end of the month, this had not yet occurred. In addition, South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan announced that the United States and North Korea were expected to set up government offices in their counterpart’s capital, however, there was no timeline mentioned or any confirmation on the status of such a plan by either U.S. or DPRK officials. On May 1, it was also reported that the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee had passed legislation that waives the Glenn Amendment, which restricts the Department of Energy’s funding regarding countries that have conducted a nuclear test. This will allow the energy department to “provide material, direct, and necessary assistance” to North Korea’s denuclearization activities. On the same day, the committee also passed a bill that would restrict the government’s ability to remove the North from the list of terrorist-sponsoring states, requiring, if approved by Congress, the Bush administration to “certify that the DPRK has provided a complete and correct declaration” of all its nuclear programs first. North Korea has announced that it would be willing to blow up the cooling tower at the Yongbyon nuclear facility within a day after Washington removes it from the terrorist-sponsor state list.

  • Korea's Royal Families: Presidential Politics And
    KOREA’S ROYAL FAMILIES: PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS AND THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF CHAEBŎL REFORM A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ASIAN STUDIES MAY 2014 By Rob York Thesis Committee: Young-a Park, chairperson Jun Yoo Sang-Hyop Lee Keywords: Korea, Asian Studies, corporate governance, politics © 2014, Robert J. York 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The completion of this thesis would not have been possible without the support of many individuals, namely my academic advisor, Young-a Park and committee members Jun Yoo and Sang-Hyop Lee. Each supplied a wealth of knowledge and gave generously of their time during this process, and I’m grateful to the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa for gathering many knowledgeable Korea specialists onto one campus. Finally, I want to thank my wife and family for their support during the completion of this degree. 3 ABSTRACT For decades South Korean politicians, pundits, and citizens have criticized the chaebŏl, the massive, family-owned conglomerates who take up a disproportionate share of the nation’s wealth and who use their influence to avoid penalties for law-breaking. However, political considerations, as well as the chaebŏl’s role in Korea’s post-war economic miracle, have caused reform efforts to fizzle once presidential candidates make their way into office. This thesis analyzes scholarly assessments of Korea’s presidents, their policies on economy and finance, and the political considerations each faced in dealing with the large business groups. It challenges the claims of these business groups, and their supporters, of the chaebŏl’s indispensability by comparing Korea to Taiwan, which enjoyed similar successes by fostering smaller businesses.
