International Governance and Regimes

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2012
  • -
  • Publisher: Routledge

This book examines China's involvement in international governance, international regimes, and globalization. Peter Kien-hong Yu offers a new framework with which to understand 'international regimes' and applies it to important Chinese case studies such as arms control, disarmament, and non-proliferation; the counter-piracy regime and the environmental issue. Whilst internationally important matters related to such systems are identified, Yu's discussions attempt to find out whether any particular system works better in relation to China, and asks if not, why not? After examining eight different cases, the author concludes that these regimes are working but there is ample room for improvement and that the Chinese (Communists) for one have to enhance their understanding of international governance and try to export their experience to other parts of the world. International Governance and Regimes will be appeal to anyone interested in International Politics, Chinese Studies, Political theory and International Relations.

Reinventing the Methodology of Studying Contemporary China

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2018-12-13

  • Publisher: Springer

This book illustrates how the one-dot theory, which is a dialectical study, is well suited to describing, explaining and inferring contemporary China’s past, present and future. It argues that since October 1949, the field of contemporary China studies has been dominated by modified and abandoned non-dialectical theories and models. It also challenges selected non-dialectical theories and models which were first generated in the West, such as the game theory and rational (choice) theory. With its emphasis on methodology, the book offers a valuable resource for academics, researchers and practitioners alike with an interest in logically, systematically and coherently unraveling Taiwan’s and mainland China’s contemporary politics and international relations.

In Crab and Frog Motion Paradigm Shift, Peter Kien-hong Yu presents a dialectical approach to the study of Chinese (Communist) politics. Yu demonstrates that the application of non-dialectical approaches to the study of Chinese politics over the last eighty years is misguided, due to ample evidence showing that Chinese political figures made use of a particular version of dialectics in their thought and actions. Through case studies, Yu demonstrates that the perception of reality, in terms of dialectics and non-dialectics, makes a striking difference to political analysis, and shows that this framework of thought and action can be applied to any case, word, number, letter, or symbol. This book was awarded a grant by the East Asian Research Institute (U.S.) October 2001.

The Second Long March

This work, written by an expert in the politics of Mainland China and Taiwan, looks at the role the Constitution of the Republic of China has played in the development of Taiwan since 1949 and its potential influence on the People's Republic of China. The Chinese Communists conducted the first long march for the sake of the majority of Chinese people, with the victory of MAO Zedong. In the second long march, CHIANG Kai-shek and his successors tried to convert the Chinese mainland from a Communist, totalitarian system, into a democratic, prosperous one by relying on the spirit of the Republic of China (ROC) constitution and by setting itself as a good example, in gradually guaranteeing freedo...

Ocean Governance, Regimes, and the South China Sea Issues

  • Type: Book
  • -

  • Publisher: Springer

​This book uses Chinese version of dialectics to present interpretations of ocean governance, international regimes, issues in the South China Sea in general and the Chinese U-shaped line in particular, through the one-dot theory. It especially serves as a tool for non-Chinese researchers and experts interested in analyzing international relations issues from a Chinese perspective. The dialectical one-dot theory, which is a superior model to the dialectical Yin and Yang or the dialectical crab and frog motion model, provides research and findings that more closely mirror reality than do other, non-dialectical approaches and research methods. Further, it can be applied to both the natural and social sciences. The book is divided into three parts — Methodology, Case Studies Related to International Regimes and Non-“International Regimes,” and Issues Related to the U-shaped Line in the South China Sea — with each chapter structured in terms of the one-dot theory. In addition to researchers and experts involved in marine and maritime affairs, this book will also appeal to all readers interested in Chinese Philosophy, International Relations, and Strategic Culture.

出版這一本書的目的乃在提醒99%的中國人/華人所不熟悉、忽略的國際 共善的第一階段【international regimes(ir)】這個非常抽象的理論之應用和其結果。套用ir這一個理論絕對有利於汪精衛之部分平反(par tial rehabilitation),再加上通過幾個不同角度的個案研究讓我更加地相信說汪於 抵抗日本戰爭時期的上線就是戴笠。 本書對學術界多少是有貢獻的。雖然沒有檢驗汪的不為人知的一面亦即汪 是通過他本人所撰寫、發表的南社詩話(WANG Jingwei's Nanshe Poetry)來讓其他人進一步的了解他的內心深處。我描述、解釋和推論了和ir與作為戴的下線有關的這兩個新面向。 總而言之,筆者有99%的把握說汪不是一個大、小漢奸。

Hu Jintao and the Ascendancy of China

A Dutch sinologist, Hans Kuijper, once wrote that if you do not apply a model or theory in your study of Chinese (Communist) affairs, you are a pseudo-scientist. The paper was published in the July-September 2000 issue of China Report. According to the latest findings, the dialectical and non-dialectical China can be said to have a recorded history of 10,000 years. Noted historian Professor Wang Gungwu had said that there were many problems with Western books on Zhongguo (and the dialectical China). Yu Ying-shih, another noted historian, had stated that it was not proper to apply theories in the West to study Zhongguo. Professor Tu Wei-ming wrote, any approach we choose to study China is inevitably theory-laden and value-laden; it is naive to believe that we can ever arrive at a totally objective analysis or strictly factual explanation of China and that our interpretation is value-free. The author also refers to Shi Dongbing, a mainland China writer who had written more than 20 mil

Taiwanisation: Its Origin And Politics

Recent years have seen the emergence of a unique Taiwanese consciousness. What this so-called Taiwanisation is and how it came about are addressed in the first article. The evolution of this Taiwanese consciousness, and how it is perceived and presented by major political parties like the Democratic Progressive Party, the Kuomintang, the People First Party and the New Party, are then discussed. The process appears to be an irreversible one which might lead to Taiwan's self-determination.The second article offers a working definition of Taiwanisation. It then spells out the significance of understanding Taiwanisation and the motivations of the proponents of the Taiwanisation policy. A number of reasons are given as to why such a policy is necessary. The authors examine the strategies and tactics in implementing the Taiwanisation policy, weighing its effectiveness, Beijing's reaction, and the problems and prospects of pursuing this policy.

These issues include the dialectical succession problem in China; the dialectical relationship between the Communist Party and the Chinese People's Liberation Army; the politico-military dimension of mainland China and Taiwan's relations; and the dialectical dual recognition in foreign relations.
