SUMMARY:CeMEAS The 12th East Asia Research Salon: Theorizing the Current Global Order in the Era of Globalization\, Regional Integration and the Resurgence of Nationalism: Global China\, Regional EU\, and National US?
DESCRIPTION:Xiao (Alvin) Yang\, University of Kassel  \nAbstract: \nWhy has China become the defender of globalization whereas the US\, who is supposed to be the defender of globalization\, has turned towards more nationalist and inward-looking direction? Moreover\, why is European Union\, the model for regional integration\, not only facing economic\, financial and migration crises\, but also the crisis of the resurgence of nationalist movements within its member states?  This dissertation aims to theorize the current global order after 2008 where there is an on-going contradictory and simultaneous process of globalization\, regional integration and the resurgence of nationalism. It theorizes the relationships among China\, the EU and the US in relation to their respective domestic conditions\, with a particular focus on the bilateral Sino-American and Sino-EU relations. \nMoreover\, it goes beyond the European-Americano-centric international relations(IR) and global political economy (GPE) theories by bringing in non-Western IR/GPE theories. Particularly\, it situates in the theoretical discourse and engages with the research programs of the emerging Chinese IR theories. It critically and systematically carries out literature review on both Western and Chinese IR/GPE theories and their respective critiques by selecting each work (e.g. journal article\, book) based on a set of criteria\, such as the relevance to the research questions\, the level of intellectual and policy influence\, and uniqueness of a theory.  How these competing theories conceptualize hegemony\, the relationship between a hegemonic power and a rising power\, the notions of international relations and global order are compared and contrasted and then synthesized in order to shed light upon the current global order. Furthermore\, it systematically reveals the underlying epistemological\, ontological\, methodological and historical assumptions of these theories to illustrate how and why they interpret the same phenomena differently as well as to bridge these assumptions to make fruitful analyses. \nTo test these competing theories\, a set of hypotheses are generated from their respective theoretical implications and predictions. Subsequently\, these hypotheses are tested on different institutional dimensions by critically examining the foreign policy of China\, EU\, and the US\, as well as applying set theory to analyze their respective bilateral and multilateral trade arrangements and security configurations. They are further substantiated by macro indices\, such as flows and trends of trade\, investment\, capital\, and currency.  Furthermore\, China’s Belt and Road initiative (B&R)\, formerly named as One Belt One Road (OBOR)\, is chosen to be the main case study. Finally\, this dissertation aims to construct and develop a holistic theoretical and conceptual framework that encompasses politico-economic and socio-cultural dimensions to theorize the current global order. \nAbout the presenter: \nXiao (Alvin) Yang is currently a PhD Candidate in Political Science at the University of Kassel in Germany.  His dissertation aims to theorize the current global order by focusing on international relations among and within East Asia\, Europe and North America where there are on-going tensions among globalization\, regional integration and the resurgence of nationalism. He holds a master degree in Chinese European Economics and Business from the Berlin School of Economics and Law and a master degree in International Business from the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in China. He also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music with honours at York University in Canada. Furthermore\, he studied political science\, business management and anthropology at Stockholm University\, explored sociology at University of Toronto\, studied German at Heidelberg Universität\, Humboldt Universität and München Universität\, as well as French at Université Jean Monnet in France\, Western University at Trois-Pistoles and Laval Université in Quebec.

SUMMARY:Francois Gipouloux (CNRS): „Maritime trade expansion in late Ming China“
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMaritime trade during the late Ming was characterised by the intermingling of tributary trade\, private trade and piracy. The establishment of the ban on maritime trade (海禁 haijin) gave way to a scarcity of goods entering China and to a great profitability of smuggling activities. While the ban on maritime trade never succeded in eliminating the so called Japanese pirates (倭寇 woko)\, it opened the possibilities of huge profits to illegal trade. Fujian coast offered many opportunities to smugglers. \nSeveral records of judicial cases\, are reported by Wang Zaijin in 1611 along with and local records from Fujian and Zhejiang gazeteers give a precise description of maritime trade procedures in the 17th century. They reveal the complex mechanism of pooling capital and cargoes before venturing for overseas trade. It also describes in a very vivid way the involvement of local administration in a still prohibited trade with Japan. It finally highlights however the lack of financial instruments to mobilise capital and secure a cargo\, and underline the limits of the management of the relationship between investors\, ship-owners\, and operators. \nShort bio:\nFrançois Gipouloux (Emeritus Research Director\, National Centre for Scientific Research\, [CNRS] France)\, has worked almost 20 years in Asia (Peking\, Tokyo\, Hong Kong). His research covers the dynamics of urbanisation in China and the comparative analysis of economic institutions and business practices in Europe and Asia from the 16th to the 21st century. His recent publications include: The Asian Mediterranean\, Edward Elgar\, 2011 (also translated in Korean and Chinese)\, and China’s Urban Century (Edward Elgar\, 2015).

SUMMARY:Prof. Liu Tao (University of Duisburg-Essen): "The Welfare Regime Within and Beyond Borders: The Openness and Closedness of Chinese Social Policy"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe functional operation of conventional Chinese welfare regime was closely linked to institutionally created forms of discrepancies and borders entrenching the status differences between different social classes as well as among welfare clients from different social spaces (e.g. rural or urban areas). Since the Millennium an unprecedented and fast expanding social policy in the Chinese history has softened the welfare boundaries of classes\, regions and functionally segregated welfare spaces substantially even the welfare class ‘borders’ won’t entirely disappear in the short term. A conceptual notion of ‘incomplete universalism’ contributes to outlining the main trends of social policy development in contemporary China: on the one hand\, residents from different origins are increasingly considered as national social citizens; on the other hand\, the notion of a national social citizenship and its concrete implementation are heavily constrained by the uneven institutional welfare arrangements created in the past.

SUMMARY:Prof. Milinda Bannerjee (Ludwig-Maximilian University ): "Sovereignty\, Natural Law and the Ironies of Decolonization: India and the Tokyo Trial"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIs the demand for codified international criminal justice antithetical to the demand for agonistic decolonization of global political\, military\, and economic power? Or can the establishment of global norms of justice be made compatible with\, and even grounded upon\, anti-colonial and democratic interventions? By analysing Indian involvement in the Tokyo Trial (1946-48)\, this paper foregrounds some of the key complexities at stake in the dialectics between global norm-building and anti-colonial agonism. While existing scholarship on the Tokyo Trial has mainly dwelt upon legal and political history\, I draw upon methodological debates in the nascent field of global intellectual history to sharply focus on the tense relation between sovereignty and natural law which mediated discussions on justice in relation to colonialism\, in the Tokyo moment as well as in its long aftermath. I give particular attention to the dissenting Indian judge at the trial\, Radhabinod Pal (1886-1967)\, and contextualize his controversial judgment in relation to (anti-) colonial politics and justice\, not merely in relation to the Japanese Empire – and the decades-old Indian engagement with Japanese models of sovereignty – but also in relation to British India\, Dutch Indonesia\, French Indochina\, and Korea. In the process\, I relate the dynamics of the trial to transregional flows in legal-moral vocabularies and the emergence of international legal institutions\, including\, most notably\, the post-war International Law Commission. Simultaneously\, I relate Pal to other Indian actors\, such as Agent General Girja Shankar Bajpai (1891-1954) and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964)\, who related (anti-) imperial anxieties to the politics of the Tokyo Trial. Further\, I show how the trial linked the paradoxes of India’s decolonization to foreign policy debates and questions about ‘race’ in relation to the United States and the United Kingdom. Ultimately\, I theorize about how the Tokyo Trial can shed novel conceptual light on the tortuous ironies involved in decolonization processes\, as regimes of sovereignty – and sovereign violence – were combated\, translated\, and expropriated across Asia through transimperial and transnational entanglements\, often with haunting long-term consequences.
