A Comparative Analysis of the Reactive State in Japan THE SOURCES OF JAPANESE CONDUCT: ASYMMETRIC SECURITY DEPENDENCE, ROLE CONCEPTIONS AND THE REACTIVE BEHAVIOR IN RESPONSE TO U.S. DEMANDS by Booseung Chang A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland November, 2014 © 2014 Booseung Chang All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Despite her enormous economic size and large population, Japan was reluctant to participate in the management of global affairs during the Cold War, but once the United States made her request clear, Japan tended to be flexible in accommodating U.S. demands. In 1988, Kent E. Calder presented the reactive state thesis (RST), calling this peculiar aspect of Japanese policy behavior reactive. According to Calder, Japanese foreign policy behavior remains to be reactive and its main explanatory variable is the fragmented governmental structure. The main arguments of this dissertation are (1) that the Japanese reactive behavior in the area of security policy indeed changed little, but (2) that the main explanatory variable is external rather than domestic. As an alternative causal variable, this thesis indicates the asymmetric security dependence on the United States. We reached these arguments through operationalization and comparison. In order to test the validity of the RST, we operationalized the concept of reactivity and applied it to the Japanese responses to the Gulf War and the Iraq War. The result showed no significant behavioral variation between the cases. In order to test the causal argument of the RST, we selected South Korea, where, unlike Japan, the executive power is highly concentrated, and compared the two countries’ responses to the two wars. The reactive behavior was uniformly observed across the cases despite the cross-national difference in domestic environments. The suggested causal chain for the reactive behavior is that the security dependence limits the capacity of the reactive state, and suppresses the proactivity towards external challenges. At the same time, it influences the role conceptions of core decision-makers, ii creating a shared feeling that once the United States demands assistance, it is inevitable to provide it. In addition to the continuity, we also noted the variations across the cases. We found two types of variations: the variation in the extent that the reactive states tried to discount U.S. demands under the limit of the reactivity and the variation in the size of the actually delivered assistance. As the causal variables for the first type, we suggested the degree of fragmentation and the existence of a veto player within the decision unit, and for the second type, we suggested the U.S. preconception on the providing capacity of a reactive state as an explanatory variable. *Readers: Kent E.

University of Waikato, 2009 i ii Abstract This thesis introduces and examines the undervalued concept of corporeal human- technology interface art, or ‘cyborg art’, which describes literal, figural and metaphorical representations of increasing body and technology integration. The transforming (post)human being is therefore the focus; who we are today, and who or what we may become as humanity increasingly interfaces with technology. Theoretical analysis of cyborg imagery centres on the science fiction domain, in particular film and television, as opposed to art.

Abstract Islam was reintroduced into South Korea during the Korean War due to the participation of the Turkish army. In its more than 50 years’ development process, the achievements of Korean Islam include the establishment of legal Islamic organizations, the construction of mosques all over the country, pilgrimage to Mecca, translation of the Koran into Korean, and the establishment of an Islamic Institute. The number of Muslims in South Korea has grown considerably. South Korea’s Middle East diplomacy began in 1957; its spheres include economic diplomacy, international contribution diplomacy, and cultural diplomacy. South Korea has gained a certain level of influence in the Middle East. South Korea’s Islamic communities take part in the government’s Middle East diplomacy at various levels, and this is a powerful supplement to official Middle East diplomacy.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository The Reliable Promise of Middle Power Fighters: The ROK Military’s COIN Success in Vietnam and Iraq by Kil-Joo Ban A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved June 2011 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Sheldon Simon, Chair Yoav Gortzak Stephen Mackinnon ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY August 2011 ABSTRACT Counterinsurgency (COIN) is a long process that even great powers struggle with. Nevertheless, South Korea as a middle power was successful with COINs in Vietnam and Iraq. What were the drivers for the Republic of Korea (ROK) military's success? This dissertation maintains that the unusual nature of missions coupled with political/socio-cultural advantages are sufficient conditions for success of the middle power COIN. COIN missions are seen as unusual to middle powers. A rare mission stimulates military forces to fight harder because they recognize this mission as an opportunity to increase their national prestige. COIN mission success is also more probable for middle powers because their forces make the best of their country's political/socio-cultural advantages. The ROK military's COINs are optimal cases to test these hypotheses. The ROK military's COIN in Vietnam was an extremely rare mission, which increased its enthusiasm. This enthusiasm was converted into appropriate capabilities. By identifying battleground dynamics, the ROK forces initially chose an enemy- oriented approach based upon the method of company-led tactical base, and then later introduced a population-led method.

  • The Radical Jihadists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) Have
    The radical jihadists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have wrought terror and destruction across the Middle East, bringing already-failing states to the brink of collapse. In recent days, ISIS, or simply the ‘Islamic State’ as they now call themselves, has pushed north and west in Iraq towards the heart of Iraqi Kurdistan, executing an- yone they consider a heretic and imposing an extreme interpretation of Islamic law wherever they go. United States President Obama’s announcement on August 8 of limited airstrikes to thwart the ISIS advance and distribute humanitarian aid shows its commitment to protecting Iraq and Kurdistan. Indeed, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is the only formidable shield against the ISIS onslaught. This Asan Issue Brief argues that the Korean government also has a stake in defending the people of Iraq, and particularly those of Iraqi Kurdistan, due to its long term close ties and investment. Thus, humanitarian and diplomatic support to the KRG by Korea is urgently needed. Q. Who is ISIS and what explains its sudden rise? A totally new generation of Islamic jihadists taking advantage of the power vacu- um created by the sectarian policies of the Maliki government. ISIS is qualitatively different from the jihadists of the past, who fought against ei- ther the “near enemy” of authoritarian Arab regimes or the “far enemy” of the United States and the West. Different from Al-Qaeda, from which it was recently disowned, ISIS heralds a new chapter in the evolution of extreme jihadism. They actively use so- cial networking services such as Twitter, publish financial reports like a profit-seeking company, and release manifestos and narrated videos in fluent English to reach a glob- al audience.
