  • Transnational Advocacy Networks for China’S Environment and Public Health
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: DOUBLE-MOBILIZATION: TRANSNATIONAL ADVOCACY NETWORKS FOR CHINA’S ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH Fengshi Wu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Ken Conca Department of Government and Politics This dissertation investigates the nature of transnational advocacy networks and the impact of domestic structures on the development and political relations of such networks. Drawing upon the theoretical frameworks built by Margaret Keck, Katherine Sikkink and Sanjeev Khagram, I, though, challenge the conceptual bias embedded in this body of literature emphasizing contentious political relations between advocacy actors and targeted governments. I use the method of in-depth comparative case studies, and focus on two transnational advocacy networks in nature conservation and HIV/AIDS prevention in China to illustrate my three-fold argument: First, it is necessary to relax the theoretical bias in existing transnational advocacy literature, and recognize that the triangular relationship among the state, local society and international NSAs varies both over time and across issue areas. The two cases studied reveals a what I call the “double-mobilization” character of such networks. This Double-mobilization pattern emphasizes that international advocacy actors endeavor to engage, collaborate with, and advocate around the state, even as they establish connections and solidarity with local societal groups. I propose this double- mobilization concept to capture the gradual, consensual, and sustainable aspect of transnational activism. Second, it is not sufficient to use political regime type as the main causal variable to examine the emergence and evolvement of transnational activism and advocacy networks. Evidence from China has shown that the politics generated by international NSAs in a non-democratic country is complex, and despite strict macro-structures, transnational advocacy networks are emerging.

  • Ethnic Business: Chinese Capitalism in Southeast Asia/[Edited By] Jomo K.S
    Ethnic Business The role of ethnic Chinese business in Southeast Asia in catalyzing economic development has been hotly debated—and often misunderstood—throughout cycles of boom and bust. This book critically examines some of the key features attributed to Chinese business: business-government relations, the family firm, trust and networks, and supposed ‘Asian’ values. The in-depth case studies that feature in the book reveal considerable diversity among these firms and the economic and political networks in which they manoeuvre. With contributions from leading scholars and under the editorship of Jomo and Folk, Ethnic Business is a well-written, important contribution to not only students of Asian business and economics, but also professionals with an interest in those areas. Jomo K.S. is Professor of Applied Economics at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Other books he has edited include Manufacturing Competitiveness in Asia and Southeast Asian Paper Tigers?, both published by Routledge. Brian C.Folk is a Ph.D. Candidate, Sociology Department, at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.
