Author

LEE, SOJEONG

Subjects
*EAST Asian cooperation, *NATIONAL character, *REGIONAL cooperation, *PROTECTION of interests (International relations)
Abstract

This study purposes to show that East Asian regional cooperation is dominated by ideas rather than interests. Specifically, focusing on China, this study will reveal that national identity influence each nation's behavior and strategy beyond the expected interests related to the regional cooperation. Recent studies on the issue of regional cooperation in East Asia pay insufficient attention to ideas-centered approach, only fousing on material interests motivating countries toward regional cooperation. In particular, they argue that China, Japan and South Korea determine participation in cooperation projects depending on interests. As a criticism of interests-centered approach, this study will show the importance of ideas in East Asian regional cooperation. China understands regional cooperation and maps out its strategy by the national identity. Chin's traditional identity of Sinocentrism and recently constructed "Reponsible superpower" identityare the very cases in point. Revealing the importance of national identity, this study will remind us that ideas is needed to understand the real dynamics of East Asian regional cooperation ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2. China's foreign policy toward North Korea: the nuclear issue

Author

Subjects
Multilateral Institution, Responsible Superpower, Chinas Diplomacy, North Korean Nuclear Crisis
Abstract

China has had different reactions to North Korean nuclear provocations. When North Korea announced its withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and provoked the first nuclear crisis in 19931994, China responded relatively softly and preferred to remain a bystander. However, in 2003, when North Korea withdrew from the NPT and provoked a nuclear crisis again, China reacted quite differently. The country actively intervened to settle the crisis and cooperated with the international community. This research examines what factors have affected Chinas foreign-policy change toward the North Korean nuclear issue. This research argues that Chinas general foreign-policy change had affected Chinas attitude change toward the North Korean nuclear issue. Since the Tiananmen incident, China had maintained a passive attitude in international affairs, until the mid-1990s. However, Chinas attitude toward international affairs changed in the late 1990s. China started to resume its diplomatic relationship with the West and successful economic development gave China confidence in its comprehensive national power. While trying to limit U.S. influence in the Asian region, China has also tried to increase its influence in the region and involvement in international affairs. This precipitated change in Chinas attitude change in the North Korean nuclear issue. http://archive.org/details/chinasforeignpol1094527847 Major, Republic of Korea Air Force Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
