Since the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, East Asia has gone from having virtually no regional financial cooperation to having multiple cooperative arrangements. This article focuses on the issue area of emergency liquidity provision, where global (International Monetary Fund), regional (Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralization), and bilateral arrangements co-exist and overlap in complicated ways, forming

Why delegate to the IMF? Congressional preference and blame avoidance International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2023-05-25 Masafumi Fujita
Why has the United States delegated most of its crisis lending to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in recent years, although it provided large-scale bilateral bailouts to strategically important countries until the mid-1990s? Previous research on the choice of bailout strategy has failed to explain this important change, and a major problem with such research is that it has focused on executive

Neither promoting nor projecting democracy: Indonesia’s middlepowermanship in the Bali democracy forum under Joko Widodo International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2023-03-17 Mohamad Rosyidin, Indra Kusumawardhana
Despite the pragmatic character of Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s foreign policy and the regression of the country’s democracy index, Indonesia remains eager for the continuation of Bali Democracy Forum (BDF). This article aims to solve this apparent contradiction using the concept of middle power diplomacy. This article argues that, in contrast to his predecessor, Widodo does not perceive BDF

From guo to tianxia: linking two Daoist theories of International Relations International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2022-12-16 Devin Joshi
This study examines the international relations theory (IRT) of Daoism, one of Asia’s long-standing traditions to have theorized international politics. Drawing upon Laozi’s Dao De Jing, this study elucidates two Daoist IR theories. First, Laozi provides a state-focused guo-based IRT for conducting foreign policy and managing inter-state relations with emphasis on yielding and softness to overcome

When Japan in 2019 removed South Korea from its whitelist of most trusted trading partners, South Koreans responded by organizing mass nationalist boycotts against Japanese goods. What affects South Korean citizens’ willingness to participate in this nationalist movement? In this article, we offer a systematic investigation of individuals’ motivations behind their boycott participation along the two

Security in the Asia-Pacific and signaling at sea International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2022-08-23 Brian C Chao, Hyun-Binn Cho
How do states signal resolve and conduct coercive diplomacy differently on land and at sea? This question has important implications for security in the Asia-Pacific, which is predominantly a maritime region. While the field of International Relations has been criticized for exhibiting a Cold War and European bias, this article is based on the observation that the field may suffer from continentalism:

The promise and challenges of launching cyber-military strikes: Japan’s ‘cross-domain’ operational concepts International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2022-08-09 Nori Katagiri
I investigate three factors that keep countries from adopting the strategy of cross-domain warfare and launching cyber and military operations at the same time. I do so by disentangling the relationship between international law, cybersecurity norms, and the concept of cross-domain operations. My analysis of Japan’s cross-domain vision indicates how difficult it can be for norm-compliant countries

Resentment, status dissatisfaction, and the emotional underpinnings of Japanese security policy International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2022-06-30 Thao-Nguyen Ha, Linus Hagström
What explains Japan’s security policy change in recent decades? Heeding the ‘emotional turn’ in International Relations, this article applies a resentment-based framework, which defines resentment as a long-lasting form of anger and the product of status dissatisfaction. Leveraging interviews with 18 conservative Japanese lawmakers and senior officials, the article discusses the role, function, and

Security cooperation in the Pacific Islands: architecture, complex, community, or something else? International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2022-06-16 Joanne Wallis, Henrietta McNeill, James Batley, Anna Powles
In the 2018 Boe Declaration, Pacific Islands Forum leaders recognized that the region is facing ‘an increasingly complex regional security environment’ and committed to ‘strengthening the existing regional security architecture’. Given uncertainty about the existence and nature of this architecture, we address the question: is there a security architecture in the region, or does security cooperation

Revisiting negative externalities of US military bases: the case of Okinawa International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2022-04-06 Takako Hikotani,Yusaku Horiuchi,Atsushi Tago
Abstract In a recently published article, Allen et al. (Outside the wire: U.S. military deployments and public opinion in host states’, American Political Science Review, 114(2), 326–341; 2020) argue that US military deployments nurture favorable attitudes toward the United States among foreign citizens. Their claim is based on social contact and economic compensation theories, applied to a large-scale

Territorial dispute at home: strategic narratives contestation over the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands nationalization policy in Japan International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2021-10-04 Jingkai Shao
Japan’s ‘nationalization’ of three islands of the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands in 2012 involves a Sino–Japanese territorial dispute as well as a strategic narrative contestation within Japan. This article argues that ‘strategic narrative’, a persuasive discursive tool, can exert power through three communicative processes (formation, projection, and reception) in the same way as Copenhagen School’s ‘securitization’

Diaspora organizations, political settlements, and the migration-development nexus: the case of the Indonesian Diaspora Network International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2021-09-09 Andrew Rosser
This article examines the Indonesian Diaspora Network (IDN), an organization that seeks to ‘facilitate’ and ‘empower’ Indonesia’s diaspora and enhance its contribution to the country’s development. IDN portrays itself as an expression of the collective will of a unified and coherent Indonesian diaspora that is working to promote development-for-all, while critics suggest it is the instrument of elite

Deep engagement and public opinion toward the United States: U.S. military presence and threat perceptions International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2021-09-08 Sou Shinomoto
Under what conditions are a country’s residents likely to express favorable or unfavorable attitudes toward the United States? I discuss this question using survey data from 38 countries, focusing on the possible impacts that the active approach by the United States toward security threats has on the psychology of countries’ residents. The results show that the larger the U.S. military presence in

Reception and practice of diplomacy in modern Japan: power, interests, and norms International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2021-07-04 Yuichi Sasaki
This article re-examines Japan’s entry into international society, focusing on leading Japanese diplomats. It has been believed that Meiji leaders’ interpretation of international society and diplomacy was characterized by power-political and zero-sum thinking, and they took a realistic approach in an imperialistic system. However, the present article demonstrates that Japanese diplomacy in and after

Why is Japan shamed for whaling more than Norway? International Society and its barbaric others International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2021-07-02 Michal Kolmaš
Although Norwegian and Japanese fishermen killed almost identical numbers of whales in the last two decades, they were subject to a largely uneven attention from the international community. While Japan was significantly shamed by all actors, the attention on Norwegian whalers was much smaller. Why is that? The article first conceptualizes the gaps in contemporary shaming literature and shows that

Hedging and grand strategy in Southeast Asian foreign policy International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2021-02-10 David Martin Jones, Nicole Jenne
This article examines recent interest in hedging as a feature of international politics in the Asia Pacific. Focusing on the small states of Southeast Asia, we argue that dominant understandings of hedging are misguided for two reasons. Despite significant advances in the literature, hedging has remained a vague concept rendering it a residual category of foreign policy behavior. Moreover, current

How has ASEAN+3 financial cooperation affected global financial governance? International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2020-12-11 Kring WN, Grimes WW.
AbstractIn the wake of the Asian Financial Crisis, East Asia’s efforts to enhance regional financial cooperation raised the possibility of East Asia playing a more assertive role in global financial governance. However, despite the region’s increased voice in governance and economic weight, East Asian financial systems and markets have mostly adapted to global norms developed in New York, London, and

Japan’s environmental diplomacy and the future of Asia-Pacific environmental cooperation International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2020-12-06 Sakaguchi I, Ishii A, Sanada Y, et al.
AbstractAsia-Pacific lacks an environmental leader. Japan, a forerunner of environmental regulation in the 1970s, started to engage in active environmental diplomacy in the post-Cold War era by hosting conferences of parties to multilateral environmental agreements such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the United Nations Framework Convention

Abstract This article examines the inward–out influence from Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) to extra-regionally based actors, here defined as non-ASEAN stakeholders, in regional cooperation on climate change. The case study on the ASEAN Multi-Sectoral Framework on Climate Change (AFCC) indicates that non-ASEAN stakeholders underwent ‘ASEANization’ when adapting their rhetoric and practices

How states react to the international regime complexities on migration: a study of cases in South East Asia and beyond International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2020-10-23 Okabe M.
AbstractThis article provides a holistic analysis of the ‘migration regime complex’ in Asia, which is distinguished from other regions of the world in the absence of a refugee protection regime. The ‘refugee regime complexity’ argument (Betts) fails to take into consideration the deviant behaviors of Asian states that have been excluded from the core institution building.

Abstract This article analyzes how and why contemporary Global South countries’ South–South cooperation (SSC) exhibits a convergence between normative and material interests. The normative approach underlines that SSC is driven by a country’s experience with colonialism and underdevelopment. SSC is perceived as a mechanism to alter the Global South’s asymmetrical relations with the dominant Global

Japan’s evolving threat perception: data from diet deliberations 1946–2017 International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2019-07-16 Oren E.
AbstractScholars have recently commented on Japan’s increasing threat perception, either in the context of an ‘increasingly complex security environment’, or in the context of its use by Japanese elites to advance their political goals. Yet, while references to Japan’s threat perception are ubiquitous, conceptual clarity and comprehensive empirical evidence are far less so. This article seeks to address

Shrinking room for hedging: system-unit dynamics and behavior of smaller powers International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2019-06-23 Alexander Korolev
Abstract This article advances the understanding of ‘hedging’ in international politics by highlighting and examining the limits to smaller powers’ hedging behavior. Building on the line of reasoning that hedging is an outcome of regional or state-level, rather than system-level, variables, the article suggests that the room for hedging available to smaller states shrinks as great powers become more

The variable effectiveness of hedging strategies International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2019-05-16 John D Ciorciari
Abstract Governments often adopt hedging strategies to mitigate risks they face in international affairs. They hedge in the conventional, financial sense of the term by seeking to offset risks in global markets. They also adopt strategies to hedge against international security hazards by preserving strategic ambiguity, forging limited security alignments, and cultivating modest self-protection in

AbstractCan positive domestic messages generated by a foreign policy of engagement toward another country change public views regarding that state? How resistant are such changes to events that contradict the positive messages? I argue that while positive government messages about an adversary can significantly improve public opinion, highly consequential foreign policy events that contradict the messages

Hedging in South Asia: balancing economic and security interests amid Sino-Indian competition International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2019-05-14 Darren J Lim,Rohan Mukherjee
Abstract The literature on hedging as a secondary state strategy – built largely on evidence from United States-China competition in East and Southeast Asia – focuses on conditions where a major power presents both an economic opportunity and a security threat. In South Asia, in contrast, secondary states facing strategic competition between India and China have pursued hedging strategies in the absence

Abstract Strong economic growth and assertive political leadership have made India an increasingly prominent player in global governance. Whereas conventional scholarship of India’s foreign policy underlines continuity, this article explores how India’s self-conception has changed across two policy fields (climate change and maritime security). Adopting a role-theoretical approach, we analyze official

Abstract The effectiveness of public diplomacy is now increasingly the subject of scientific measurement and testing by researchers in the field of International Relations.

Failed cooperation in times of natural disasters: explaining the rejection of humanitarian aid International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IF 2.545) Pub Date : 2018-10-22 Charlotte Dany
