Factors of East Asian maritime security

Butler, Bryce D. 03 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release; distribution in unlimited. / Since the end of the Cold War, the principle naval powers of East Asia--China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea --have increased the importance they attach to their maritime strategies relative to the changing situation in East Asia and adjoining waters. With the growing reliance on each of these countries on seaborne trade and supply of resources, including oil, the countries' maritime defense policies, including the sea lanes of communications (SLOCs), are more important than ever. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the maritime visions of these three countries, the changing maritime security environment they address the maritime territorial disputes, in which they are engaged and the potential for a naval arms race in East Asia. It assesses the impact of Korean reunification and Chinese reunification on their maritime strategies and prospects for a regional multilateral maritime security regime. This thesis emphasizes the importance of the U.S. Navy's forward presence in stabilizing potential problems at sea in East Asia. / Lieutenant, United States Navy

A questão de Taiwan na interação estratégica do leste asiático

Feddersen, Gustavo Henrique January 2016 (has links)
O objetivo do presente trabalho é buscar elementos para se analisar as relações interestreito de Taiwan, a partir da experiência histórica, processos políticos, dados econômicos e estudos securitários. O trabalho está estruturado em cinco seções: uma introdução, três capítulos de desenvolvimento e a conclusão. O primeiro capítulo procurou desenvolver uma perspectiva tanto sincrônica quanto diacrônica, relacionando o efeito da Guerra da Coreia sobre as relações interestreito naquele período. Entende-se que, ainda hoje, as relações interestreito são fortemente influenciadas por aquela conflagração, e, dada a precariedade do armistício, pela mera possibilidade da eclosão de um novo conflito armado na Península. O segundo capítulo foca-se no sistema político taiwanês e sua interface com as relações interestreito, estudandose, dentro das fontes que se pôde inventariar, a evolução do processo político e da construção de Estado em Taiwan. No terceiro capítulo, buscou-se chegar a um meio termo entre as duas perspectivas, enfocando-se a relação interestreito a partir de uma ótica regional. Especificamente, analisam-se o cenário político e estratégico pós-Guerra Fria na Ásia Oriental; o enfraquecimento da integração e o novo quadro estratégico na Ásia Oriental; e a reorientação da estratégia militar dos Estados Unidos, da China e do Japão, procurando-se relacioná-las à questão de Taiwan. Como conclusão, teve de se constatar o predomínio dos constrangimentos sistêmicos – não apenas sobre as políticas nacionais, mas sobre a própria região – no condicionamento das relações interestreito. Entendeu-se que a pouca previsibilidade da evolução desse relacionamento deve-se, em grande medida, ao caráter até certo ponto anormal da passagem da unipolaridade à multipolaridade. / The objective of this study is to find elements to analyze the Taiwan’s cross-strait relations, from the historical experience, political processes, economic data and International Security Studies. The work is divided into five sections: an introduction, three chapters of development and conclusion. The first chapter has sought to develop a perspective both synchronic as diachronic, relating the Korean War's effect on cross-strait relations in that period. It is understood that, even today, cross-strait relations are strongly influenced by that conflagration, and, given the precariousness of the armistice, the mere possibility of the outbreak of a new armed conflict on the peninsula. The second chapter focuses on the Taiwanese political system and its interface with the cross-strait relations, studying, inside sources that could inventorying, the evolution of the political process and the construction of state in Taiwan. In the third chapter, we sought to reach a compromise between the two perspectives, focusing to cross-strait relationship from a regional perspective. Specifically, they analyze the post-Cold War political and strategic landscape in East Asia; the weakening of integration and the new strategic framework in East Asia; and the reorientation of the military strategy of the United States, China and Japan, seeking to relate them to the Taiwan issue. In conclusion, we had to find the prevalence of systemic constraints - not just on national policies but about the region itself - in conditioning cross-strait relations. It was understood that the low predictability of the evolution of this relationship is due largely to the character to a certain point of the abnormal passage from unipolarity to multipolarity.

馮叔鸞「戲學」之研究 / A Study of Feng Shuluan's dramatic criticism

姚贇㛃, Yao, Yun Jie Unknown Date (has links)
馮叔鸞作為活躍於民國初年的報刊劇評家之一,身兼編、演、評數職。作為劇作家,他創作了十餘種戲劇劇本,其中不少曾經被搬上舞台。作為戲劇活動家,他經常客串戲劇演出,創辦過戲劇雜誌,並參與過戲劇教育工作。作為戲劇批評家,他發表了大量劇評文章,兼及戲劇常識的介紹與戲劇史料的搜集整理。其中,集結成冊的有《嘯虹軒劇談》一書,其餘則散見於當時各類報刊雜誌之中。 本文以馮叔鸞之戲劇評論,及其提出的「戲學」概念為主要研究對象,將其置於新舊並陳的民初劇壇,以及戲劇理論批評近代化轉型之大背景下,通過對其戲劇活動資料的盡可能搜集與整理,在完善其個人資料的同時,深入分析其劇評文章,歸納總結其戲劇觀及企圖建構的戲劇批評體系。並試圖給予這一因歷史原因而多有被忽視的人物更多關注,以及相對公允合理之評價。 馮氏「戲學」之批評面向主要包括戲劇本體、編劇、演員、表演、劇場、觀眾以及戲劇與社會之關係等,而其新舊並重、分而論之、融會貫通的改良觀則始終貫穿於各個面向之中。「戲學」之實踐與應用,還可從其戲劇批評觀中展現,通過對於劇評界時弊之針砭,馮氏提出了自己對於劇評的界義,以及劇評家所應當具備的學識及道德水準。馮氏「戲學」概念的提出,尤其是囊括新舊的批評範疇,以及將「戲學」樹立為一門獨立學科的願景,無疑對學科界定意義重大,或可謂為現代戲劇學學科建立之先聲。 / Feng Shuluan was one of the most famous drama critic in the early Republic of China. As a dramatist, he wrote more than ten scripts, most of which were staged. As a dramatic activist, he took part in many performances and dramatic education activities, as well as dramatic magazine editing works. Moreover, he wrote extensively on several topics as a drama critic, including dramatic basics and the history of drama. Some of them were later put together in the book <Xiaohongxuan’s drama criticism>. Others were published on the newspapers and magazines. This study regards Feng Shuluan’s drama criticism as the main research object. While collecting original data of him, special attention is paid on this nearly forgotten historical figure and his dramatic theory. With the analysis of his work, this study will endeavor to give him an adequate appraisal. Feng Shuluan’s dramatic criticism includes ontology, function theory, script theory, performance theory, theatre theory, audience theory and improved theory. He found out many problems of the critics at that time, and proposed the knowledge and moral standard a drama critic should possess. He tried to establish his drama criticism including both Chinese traditional opera and western drama as a new subject, which was a significant development of the dramatic theory and criticism.

Exploring the transfer of R&D to China

Søberg, Peder Veng, Åkerman, Niklas January 2010 (has links)
<p>This master thesis explores the transfer of R&D activities from Western MNC’s to their Chinese subsidiaries and how companies can leverage key enablers to address main barriers in this process. The research project is conducted as a multiple-case study consisting of three case companies: the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, the Swiss/Swedish power and automation company ABB and the global food and beverage company Nestlé. The main rationale for conducting this study is that a significantly increasing level of foreign invested R&D is conducted in the Chinese environment with its increasingly important market. In order to preserve competitive advantages and secure global market penetration it could be necessary for other companies as well to undertake a similar process of transferring R&D.</p><p>The main barriers identified are the difficulty to find qualified employees in China, to train and retain the recruited employees and the language gaps that are present between the Western and the Chinese units. One key enabler applied to address these barriers is to organize activities at selected Chinese universities in order to attract skilled graduates. Utilizing expatriates and short-term traveling increases personal interaction between otherwise geographically distant employees together with providing training of increasing complexity are key enablers addressed to develop the Chinese employee’s knowledge. Language courses is the key enabler applied in order to decrease the language gaps, both Chinese courses for Westerners and English courses for Chinese.</p><p>In addition to identifying barriers and enablers and investigating their interrelatedness we propose a conceptual model for R&D transfer consisting of four elements to transfer together with implementation of the transferred knowledge at the receiving unit. In our view, the elements to transfer are physical objects, individual explicit knowledge, individual tacit knowledge and collective knowledge.</p> / This thesis won Sparbanksstiftelsen Kronan's award of 50000 SEK.

Crossing the line : the changing nature of highlander cross-border trade in northern Vietnam

Schoenberger, Laura. January 2006 (has links)
This thesis investigates how changing Vietnamese state control over the Vietnam-China border has impacted cross-border trade networks and livelihoods of border residents in Lao Cai province, North Vietnam. The investigation uses information from qualitative research with 91 marketplace traders and border officials at four crossing points in the province. I find that state control over the border and cross-border trade has increased as this trade has been progressively brought within legal parameters from 1954 to 2005. / By taking a commodity chain approach to investigate the trade networks of three locally produced goods that move across the border I discuss the complex interactions of state policy, social relations and location factors in shaping contemporary cross-border trade. This investigation suggests that state policy to encourage small scale cross-border trade and new tradable commodities are increasing the livelihood options available to border residents in the province.

Diante da grande acumulação de capital via superávit em transações correntes e necessidades cada vez maiores de matérias-primas, abertura de novos mercados e influência política para estabelecimento de um mundo multipolar, a China lançou-se em um movimento de internacionalização de sua economia. Como estratégia de aproximação com o "mundo em desenvolvimento" os chineses resgataram o discurso do "Espírito de Bandung", em contraposição à tese de uma renovação da dependência ao estilo Norte-Sul. Partindo de uma relação estritamente comercial, os chineses passaram a fornecer capital na forma de investimento estrangeiro direto, financiamentos diversos e programas de ajuda internacional. O momento pareceu propício, uma vez que a ascensão de outras forças “emergentes” alimentou o retorno do debate sobre a Cooperação Sul-Sul. As relações da China com a América Latina não fugiram a esse padrão. Esta pesquisa, pois, questionou em que medida é possível afirmar que as relações entre a China e América Latina podem ser consideradas típicas de um modelo Sul-Sul, ou nos termos colocados pela diplomacia chinesa, que prezam pelo benefício mútuo em oposição a ideia do jogo de soma zero. Para responder à pergunta central da investigação, a abordagem proposta, portanto, buscou elucidar os seguintes aspectos: 1) verificar em que medida a conjuntura deste início de século favoreceu a construção de um regime de cooperação sul-sul e como este possível regime absorveu as alterações econômicas pós-crise de 2008; 2) verificar em que medida as relações chinesas com os demais países em desenvolvimento sob o lema do “benefício mútuo” significam um resgate do espírito de Bandung e podem ser consideradas típicas de uma cooperação sul-sul; 3) por fim, analisar, sob o prisma da cooperação sul-sul para o desenvolvimento, a evolução das relações da China com a região latino-americana, e, particularmente, com a região sul-americana. Sobre o último ponto, utilizou-se um levantamento documental dos principais acordos bilaterais e um levantamento de dados relativos às variáveis comércio, investimentos estrangeiros direto, investimentos patrocinados pelo governo chinês e financiamentos concedidos pelas agências governamentais chinesas. Esta pesquisa, portanto, procurou sustentar que, pelo viés da cooperação sul-sul, a situação chinesa é paradoxal, pois ao mesmo tempo em que o crescimento econômico chinês impele às economias sul-americanas a um padrão de comércio típico das relações Norte-Sul, a manutenção do ambiente internacional favorável aos objetivos chineses faz com que algumas concessões precisem ser feitas. Nesse sentido, sugeriu-se que, embora com limites estruturais, as relações da China com a região sul-americana, mas não na América Latina como um todo, poderiam se estabelecer nos termos da cooperação sul-sul para o desenvolvimento. / When the “New Security Concept” was formulated, the Chinese diplomacy sought to relate the security idea directly with the guarantees for China's economic development. Given the high capital accumulation via current account surplus, the higher needs for raw materials and energy sources, the political requirements for the establishment of a multipolar world, and the seeks for new markets for its exportations, China laid itself in an economic internationalization movement. As part of the strategy of its relations with the developing world, China used the discourse of the “Spirit of Bandung” to opposing the thesis that its ascension could contribute for new dependency relations. If firstly the approximation was based on commercial relations, in the 21th century, the Chinese began to provide capital to the developing world in several forms: foreign direct investment, different credit lines and foreign aid. The moment was propitious, once the emerging powers' rise seemed to feed the debate about south-south cooperation. This research sought to understand the relationship between China and Latin America inside this context. Therefore, we investigated to what extent the relations between China and Latina America can be seen as a south-south pattern or “mutually beneficial”, as the Chinese diplomacy often affirms in its public documents. To answer the central question, we proceeded as follows: 1) we verified in what extent the new century's conjuncture has favored the south-south cooperation regime, and how this supposed regime has assimilated the political and economic context after the 2008 crisis; 2) we verified if the Chinese relationship with other development countries can be classified inside a south-south cooperation definition; 3) we analyzed, under the south-south cooperation concept, the evolution of the relations between China and Latin America, but particularly with the South America. About the last point, this research has used a data collection for bilateral agreements, trade, foreign direct investment, government-sponsored investments and loans provided by Chinese development institutions. This investigation sustains that the Chinese rise has a paradoxical pattern: if the Chinese economic growth impels the South American economies to the north-south pattern of relationship, the maintenance of international environment favorable to the Chinese interests makes with some concessions need to be done. In this way, the results have showed that the relations between China and South America, but not the Latin America as a whole, could occur in the terms of south-south cooperation.

L’avenir de la gouvernance d'entreprise en Chine. Une réflexion liée à l'internationalisation des entreprises chinoises / The Future of Corporate Governance in China. A Thought Related to the Internationalization of Chinese Companies

Felipe Fernandez, Emma 11 May 2012 (has links)
L’objectif de cette étude est de définir le mode de gouvernance d’entreprise (GE) le plus adapté pour accompagner les entreprises chinoises dans leur développement économique international. Dans la première partie, nous présentons une étude approfondie de la littérature existante sur la gouvernance d’entreprise. Dans un deuxième temps, la deuxième partie étudie la situation de la GE dans onze pays (États-Unis, Japon, Allemagne, France, Royaume-Uni, Italie, Brésil, Canada, Russie, Inde et Espagne) afin de mettre en évidence les éléments fondamentaux de ce type de problématique. Dans la troisième partie la situation de la Chine est analysé, du point de vue de son contexte général et de sa GE en particulier. Enfin, une analyse critique du concept de GE est proposé, ainsi qu’une étude comparative et synthétique des douze cas de GE sélectionnés (dont la Chine). Cette éude est complétée par trente entretiens de hauts dirigeants des différents pays concerné (principalement d’entreprises cotées) en vue de mieux comprendre le contexte opérationnel de la GE. L’éude met ainsi en relief la situation particulière de la Chine : Ses spécificités et ses limites sont établies et des recommandations pour l’adaptation et l’améioration de sa GE, conçue comme un mécanisme d’accompagnement de son internationalisation, sont proposés. / The aim of this study is to define the model of corporate governance (CG) best suited to assist hinese companies in their international economic development. In the first part, a comprehensive review of existing literature on corporate governance is presented. The second part examines the state of CG in eleven countries (USA, Japan, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Brazil, Canada, Russia, India and Spain) to extract the fundamental elements of this type of problem. Then, the situation of China is analyzed (in terms of context and CG). Finally, a critical analysis of the CG’s concept is proposed, and a comparative study of twelve cases and synthetic CG is selected (including China). This study is complemented by thirty interviews of senior executives from various countries (mainly listed companies) to better understand the operational context of the CG. This study also highlights the particular situation of China. Its specificities and limits are set and recommendations for adapting and improving CG in China are proposed.

Aiming at identifying the reasons and methods behind the current Chinese interactions with the African continent a bibliographical and documental research is made highlighting the practical examples of this relation. In the first chapter a historical panorama of the Sino-African relations since the 1950´s until the decade of the 2010´s is presented, establishing a connection between the changes occurred inside and with the PRC and the African continent, and the existing dynamics among the two actors. In the second chapter the political and economical trajectory of the region where the Sudanese state – and later South Sudan - is located is presented showing the country´s colonial past, the challenges in building a nation from such distinct people and cultures and its vulnerability before the great powers. The third chapter focus on the involvement of the PRC with Sudan, providing a closer and singular perspective about how the Asian power handled other developing countries in the past and how it´s doing so lately. The conclusion affirms that the intense participation of the PRC in peace missions in Sudan and South Sudan and the demonstrations of concern regarding Human Rights are derivative from both the need imposed by the growing contact with the internal instabilities of these countries and also the desire to present itself as a responsible state inside the international system, considering that the PRC performance towards Sudan exemplifies the country´s a broader involvement with African states. / Esta dissertação apresenta as relações entre a República Popular da China (RPC) e os Estados da África, a partir do caso da República do Sudão. Com o objetivo de identificar as razões e o método por trás das atuais interações chinesas com o continente africano é feita uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, ressaltando os exemplos práticos dessa relação. No primeiro capítulo é apresentado um panorama histórico das relações sino-africanas desde os anos 1950 até a década de 2010, estabelecendo uma conexão entre as mudanças ocorridas na RPC, no continente africano e na dinâmica existente entre esses dois atores. No segundo capítulo será apresentada a trajetória política e econômica da região onde se localiza o Estado sudanês - e posteriormente o Sudão do Sul – mostrando o passado colonial do país, os desafios de se construir uma nação a partir de povos e culturas distintas e sua vulnerabilidade diante das grandes potências. O terceiro capítulo foca no envolvimento da RPC com o Sudão fornecendo uma perspectiva mais próxima e singular de como a potência asiática lidou com outros países em desenvolvimento no passado e como ela vem fazendo isso atualmente. A conclusão afirma que a intensa participação da RPC em missões de paz no Sudão e no Sudão do Sul e as demonstrações de preocupação com o respeito aos direitos humanos são derivados tanto das necessidades impostas pelo aumento do contato com as instabilidades internas desses países, como pelo desejo de se mostrar como um Estado responsável dentro do sistema internacional, sendo a atuação da RPC em relação ao Sudão representativa de um envolvimento geral do país com os demais Estados africanos.
