Case Studies on Preventive Diplomacy in the Asia-Pacific edited by Yanjun Guo & Lin Wu (China Foreign Affairs Univ., China)
“Vasuki’s insightful book draws attention to some of the most neglected and urgent problems facing Asia, but it also serves as a reality check, a valuable counterpoise to the often thoughtless cheerleading about Asia’s glorious future ... That future might well be bright, but as Vasuki points out, the journey may prove harder than is widely presumed.”
Readership: CEOs and senior executives working for banks, companies operating in Asia, Diplomats, embassies, multilateral organisations (IMF, World Bank, UN, ADB, AIIB); leading Asia experts; b) libraries; c) teaching modules for under-graduate and graduate students in economics, history, Asian studies, international relations, social sciences and those with an interest in Asia.
ASIA-PACIFIC
• Analyzes the economic impact of COVID-19 on deglobalization, in particular its economic impact on Asian countries
• Identifies key challenges that Asia will face due to post-COVID deglobalization • Sets forth concrete strategic directions for how Asian economies can continue to grow and prosper in the post-pandemic world
This edited volume seeks to spotlight the perspectives of academics and practitioners visà-vis global trends in religious fundamentalism and right-wing extremism over the past decade. It presents a collection of works from notable academics and practitioners; including a selection of case studies from Asia to illustrate the contemporary interplay of religion, politics and identity; alongside broader global trends of religious fundamentalism. How we manage the effects of religious fundamentalism must hence begin with an understanding of how religion, identity, and politics interact — and this is what the upcoming chapters seek to illustrate.

Religion and Identity Politics
ASEAN – China Cooperation for Poverty Reduction edited by Yanjun Guo & Yue Yang (China Foreign Affairs Univ., China)
The concept of national security remains contested but our understanding of it continues to evolve as it is shaped by the world around us. The global dial has shifted towards a more comprehensive understanding of security that recognises these non-traditional security threats moving the focus away from solely the survival of the state to the empowerment and protection of people and the environment.

5 For information,
This book explores the unfolding of modernity in the greater Asia that uniquely takes shape at different times and places, with a particular attention to a common thread that has been at heart of the development: religion. This edited volume sheds light on the multifarious forces of religion both in the past and present that have impacted on the essential aspects of modern society — aspects in which one does not usually have recourse to religion in the West — from science and technology, politics, and to identity in Asia. Interdisciplinary approaches in the volume allow one to broadly examine religious practices within Asian contexts, thus enabling to reevaluate the concept, scope, and gamut of so-called religion.
Why and how do politics, society and economics shape the growth and failure of labour markets? Does government intervention help or harm labour market reforms/adjustments in times of economic downturn? What forces drive such government intervention and do they differ from society to society?

This book aims to unwrap the stories of e-commerce companies in Asia and how they have contributed to the society. It discusses the growth and failures of some e-commerce giants and looks at both theoretical and practical aspects of e-commerce by presenting the issues, challenges and successes of e-commerce businesses. It examines interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary aspects from micro and macro perspectives and links disciplines like strategy, management, entrepreneurship, competitiveness, finance, technology and operations.
The Environment/Resources, Social Mobilization, and Traditional Landscapes Across Time and Space in Asia edited by Satoshi Abe (Kyushu University, Japan) & Tai Wei Lim (Soka University, Japan)
Political, Economic and Social Dimensions of Labour Markets
In addressing these big-picture questions, this book’s analytical scope is heavily centred around the topic of labour markets’ performance. The book argues that performance in labour markets across countries are influenced by their labour market policies. In turn, these policies are shaped, in varying degrees, by the country’s politics.

Not one size fits all. Yet, some books teach business with minimal focus on the context for business. In reality, firms — large and small — are highly affected by the context in which they operate; yet, context is not uniformly conceptualized, theorized, and operationalized by scholars of business and management. While most theories have come from developed countries with bountiful contexts, the diverse contexts of Western Asia are little understood. This book reveals a variety of schools of thought that have molded several business models and mechanisms, which are, to some extent, different from the context of Western economies.

“The future shape of the order of the IndoPacific region depends on how closely India, Japan, and the United States (plus Australia) will gather their forces, ones of defence, economy, intelligence and knowledge, for it is incumbent upon mature maritime democracies to safeguard the rules-based international order across the region and beyond. Rupakjyoti Borah’s new book is the one that could not be timelier. I am certain it will be welcomed by many in Tokyo and Washington, DC, and examined carefully by those in Beijing.”

Rivalry and Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the most important strategic and economic region in the world. AsiaPacific is a region that is undergoing a major transformation, largely as a consequence of the rise of China and its growing rivalry with the United States. Whatever happens in the Asia-Pacific will profoundly influence global events, not just regional ones. Looking ahead, the region’s future direction — and even its name — is contested and uncertain.

Rivalry and Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific
This two-volume reference work provides a timely update on how far the region has come in opening markets. It analyzes the motivations or ostensible objectives of policies adopted in the past, the changing extent of the domestic price distortions involved, the economic effects of those policies at home and abroad, the political economy forces at work that brought about those policies and their subsequent reform, their consequences for international trade, economic welfare and poverty alleviation, and prospects for sustainable improvements in current policies. Case studies of major East Asian economies and Australia reveal how government priorities to assist farmers versus manufacturers changed over the past century but especially since the 1980s, and how that has affected trade between natural resourcepoor and resource-rich economies.

RSIS Commentary: The Series — Jokowi’s Second Term: Emerging Issues is an edited book which focuses on the 2019 presidential election in Indonesia. There are indications that the closing chapter of his presidency in the next few years could be more challenging. Better known as Jokowi, his re-election in 2019 therefore deserved a closer look for a better understanding of its significance and its key dimensions.

This book aims to contribute to the debate on “authoritarian resilience” with empirical studies from a range of perspectives, including regime support, nationalism, environmental movement, ethnic conflicts and internet management. The chapters in this book centre around two separate but intertwined themes and are collated to discuss on the stability of China in Xi Jinping’s era. The first theme examines changes in political attitudes and values among Chinese citizens, and the second focuses on the responses of the party-state and how it has made sophisticated the machine of social control.
This book focuses on China’s importance and efforts in East Asian economic integration by examining the changing patterns of the growing East Asian production network, reviewing the process and achievement of China’s efforts in internationalising its currency and evaluating the efforts to internationalise Chinese firms, elaborates China’s economic relations with individual neighbouring East Asian economies, and discusses the political economy aspect of East Asian economic integration.

This book examines the key aspects of the transformation of CCP in the rapidly changing national and global context. It highlights the problems faced by the ruling Leninist party in adapting to a capitalistic environment that its organisations cannot fully control and its ideology cannot effectively rationalise. It also examines CCP’s strategies for adaptation in the areas of ideological reformulation, party-society relations and the ways of exercising power and maintaining internal cohesion.
In addition to helping the readers understand how China is ruled and how the Chinese system operates, the book also highlights the evolutionary dynamics of Chinese politics in the environment created by CCP’s reform and open-door policies.
The book outlines five aspects of China’s international role projection, which the PRC applies selectively, depending on its target audience.

This book aims to provide a radically new view of the rise of Chinese capitalism by drawing on recent developments in cliometrics and complexity economics, macroeconomic dynamics, network analysis and behavioral finance to illustrate the various facets of China’s transition to capitalism. The chapters within innovate the study of China’s take-off using the frontier of research in institutional cliometrics and complexity economics. The book is structured in three sections that seek to address — empirically, theoretically, and in terms of network structure, the profound institutional change that led China to progressively adopt capitalism.

The Tao Te Ching is difficult to comprehend because many of the concepts it introduces are elusive. What is Tao and Te, being and nonbeing or yin and yang? The concepts, however, are discernible in Tai Chi because they are what make the practice work. Decoding the Tao Te Ching is written in a simple manner by a Tai Chi master, and translated in an accessible way by his senior disciple Tekson Teo, thus making it an enlightening read to all English readers interested in this topic.
“To find ‘comparative’ advantage requires the broadest possible understanding of the history, present circumstances and future plans of a nation’s competitors. This book offers readers detailed perspectives into China’s past success, its plans and aspirations. It is not necessary to ‘agree’ with China’s plans to succeed by developing and exploiting comparative advantages. It is, however, essential that we understand China. This book helps readers achieve that understanding.”

Readership: Political scientists, economists, researchers, policy-makers, undergraduates and graduate students, general public interested in understanding China’s political economy in the Xi Jinping era.
This book takes a fresh look at Chinese political economy at a key inflection point. While China has been among the staunchest advocates and beneficiaries of globalization, incipient trade war “decoupling” has spurred movement toward economic and technological self-reliance. Turning inward however vies with a rival impulse toward more vigorous engagement in the world. Despite slowing growth and a large debt overhang, swift recovery from the Covid-19 epidemic leaves China in a relatively strong economic position.

“The conclusion drawn from Dr XING Yuqing’s analysis is that deep integration into the global value chain is the deciding factor for China to become one of the largest exporters in the world. This is very much in line with the reality, which could shed lights for other developing countries in pursuit of industrialization. His analysis will also facilitate the understanding on the role played by the cross-border services in the global value chain.”
The Rule of Three and the Evolution of Governance
Readership: Academic researchers in the fields of public finance, economics, management as well as state governance; university students majoring in finance (both undergraduates and graduates); readers interested in China and Chinese history.
This book adopts the global value chain (GVC) approach to analyze the Chinese export miracle over the last four decades. It focuses on the tasks rather than the gross export value and emphasizes the organizations of modern trade rather than the national comparative advantage. The GVC approach systematically explains how, in less than four decades China has evolved from a closed economy to the world’s No. 1 exporting nation; why China, a developing country, has exported more high-technology products than labor-intensive products to the US; and why almost half of the US trade deficit has originated from China.

Dr Vijaya Sakhuja Former Director, National Maritime Foundation, India
“In this clear and comprehensive analysis, Cuihong Cai successfully evokes the nuanced global conversation ongoing about how we live together in cyberspace. She has painted a well-researched picture of the geopolitics of cyberspace and the challenges of governing a new domain using old thinking and old methods. Cyberspace has gone beyond the scope of sovereign governance, and yet, as Cai clearly shows, the competition of Chinese and American economic and security interests continues to play out in cyberspace without a clear path to resolution. This book is a key resource for anyone trying to discern how the great powers will coexist in the modern world.”

An excellent effort to enhance everyone’s knowledge about one of the modern world’s most potent flashpoints. A must read for scholars, students and policymakers dealing with maritime security.”

“Although Da Hsuan has published more than 200 academic papers, he doesn’t fill his book with jargon. Many examples in the book drew from Da Hsuan’s multi-decade globetrotting experience as a higher education pioneer, making them very interesting to read. To write a book about BRI that can be appreciated by people with contrasting views is a daunting task. With an unparalleled understanding of both western and eastern cultures, Da Hsuan’s new book did just that. For anyone who wants to understand what BRI means to China and countries along its route, Da Hsuan’s book will provide a unique perspective that you will not find anywhere else.”

Interpersonal relationship (guanxi) is one of the major dynamics of Chinese society. This book delineates social and cultural principles and philosophies underlying guanxi dynamics, along with guanxi’s social norms that have been long embedded in the Chinese society. The practices and legitimacy of Guanxi are constantly changing along with the social and economic structures in the society. For this reason, this third edition has added numerous new and emergent issues such as moral degradation and guanxi, qualitative and quantitative review of guanxi studies, and guanxi ties between organizations.
It is a valuable reading on the new development of the various schools of thoughts on China’s political economy over the last few decades.

on the capitals of the Tang and Song dynasties, Chinese Urbanism studies the sociology of urban growth in China’s eighth through thirteenth centuries. Yet this book is much more than a study of China’s two great capitals, Chang’an and Kaifeng, at the most important times in their histories. It is a study of Chinese society, a study of the sociology of the individual, and a study of human interaction in the Chinese city. It is a study of families and of neighborhoods, and how they relate to the space around them. Through astute use of contemporary and later writings by people who experienced the capitals, all framed in a careful selection of urbanists’ understanding of Chinese cities and theory, Chinese Urbanism uses new approaches to the study of the Chinese urban form. One of the many strengths of this book is the author’s ability to start with facts yet go beyond the obvious to explore what really happened in these two cities. Another is the superb use of paintings of the capitals, not as illustrations to accompany the text, but as primary sources that reveal information not available anywhere else.”

“… The analytical structure put forward in the Introduction and carried through in the individual chapters points to a highly innovative, indeed brilliant, way of thinking… This book does not want to revert to the old ways of thinking. But it does want to discard unnecessary binaries by rethinking China and China studies in new and valuable ways. It all amounts to a fascinating book with a highly innovative approach to an important subject.”
This book argues that private entrepreneurs in China should be understood, and analytically conceptualized, as a ‘strategic group’ that makes use of different formal and informal channels to safeguard and expand its interests, though so far it has not challenged the current regime. With its rich and unique qualitative data and insights, this volume contributes significantly to our understanding of the political behaviour and impact of private entrepreneurs in contemporary China.

This book provides a unique perspective to understand Chinese foreign policy during this decade by examining continuities and changes in both internal and external factors that have shaped China’s development. It also includes an extensive annotated bibliography of major recent publications on various aspects of Chinese foreign policy. This is the first scholarly book that studies the evolution and key challenges of China’s foreign relations during the critical decade (2008 – 2018) when China grew into a crucial, sometimes assertive, power in international affairs.
China’s Change injects timely, original ideas into the world’s most important, if confused, debate over how to manage the twin challenges of anaemic economic growth and accelerating global disruption.
US vs China: From Trade War to Reciprocal Deal gives readers an up close account on the rough-and-tumble trade talks between the US and China. The book provides a neutral and balanced perspective in addressing the historical, political and cultural backgrounds that had made US-China trade wars inevitable, but also explores how the two richest and most powerful countries and long-time rivals may eventually reach a consensus to support a bilateral trade agreement for the ages.

“This is one of the first comprehensive overviews of Chinese foreign policy in the decade covering the transition from Hu Jintao to Xi Jinping. It is written in a clear and accessible manner, allowing readers a sense of perspective and some important orientation of what has happened and what it all might mean.”
The book seeks to explain what China is doing and what its immediate and long-term interests are. It is not to defend or judge China. It calls for understanding why history is particularly relevant to the Chinese state and most of its people.
The book’s broad sweep provides a careful examination of two tangles: (i) a legal tangle bedeviling China’s relations with other competing claimant nations, and (ii) a geopolitical tangle at the heart of the US – China contest, arising from America’s instinctual response to the China-threat scare.

This book provides a comprehensive and policycentric understanding of Singapore’s policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and 2007 Global Financial Crisis (GFC). It also discusses Singapore’s experiences with the 2003 SARS outbreak and the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis (AFC), and how these have contributed to the city-state’s response to COVID-19 and the GFC.
“One of the best all rounded introductions to the government and politics of Singapore. Its strength lies in its structural functionalist approach to expounding the subject. It starts by locating the governance of Singapore historically while also identifying key factors that constrain or enable political change in a post-independence setting. The middle of the book breaks down the institutions of official and quasiofficial governance in bite sized chapters and accessible language. I highly recommend it!”
This book provides evidence-based research and examples of existing good practices on health-enabling, age-friendly neighbourhood provision. The book and its supplementary toolkits touches on 3 main stages of age-friendly neighbourhood project-planning (environmental audit), implementation (planning and design guidelines) and evaluation of progress made (post-implementation review).

“Lim Hwee Hua has enjoyed a scintillating career across the board. She was Singapore’s first woman Cabinet minister. Prior to that and post retirement from politics, she has been actively engaged in financial services, especially private equity, and sat on the boards of a wide range of businesses. Hence, Lim Hwee Hua writes with authority on the forces that determine the survival, peace and prosperity of a national jurisdiction.”

“The debate on Singapore’s political economy has been too narrow, pitting an establishment defence of the status quo against a vaguely European-style social-democratic alternative. This book lays out an alternative: a limited government, free-market worldview of the classical liberal tradition. This view hardly figures in Singapore’s debate. It is time it did.”

The Goh Chok Tong Story
“This book is unlike other earlier publications on Lim Tze Peng. Reading it is like watching a relationship blossom between the author and artist. Written from the perspective of an ‘arts outsider’, we eagerly follow the author as he sets off to investigate the man behind the artworks. From this book, we gain a better understanding of the ties that bind the artist with his family, friends and collectors, and from that vantage point, a deeper appreciation of his artistic practice and beliefs.”
This book traces the lean beginnings of Lim Tze Peng’s early years, relives the times of controversy over the artist’s innovations in Chinese calligraphy, and celebrates his breakthroughs.

• What were the key issues in the general elections?
“The book captures the life journey of an extraordinary man which mirrors the development of Singapore from a third world to a first world country. I have benefitted from his stories. He was a key developer of human capital in Singapore as an educator and built NTU to be one of the top universities in the world. There is much wisdom to be distilled from his stories and from his involvement in the private and public sector. A truly remarkable Singapore boy who epitomises the spirit and contributions from our pioneer generation.”

The New Mrs Lee’s Cookbook Volume 1: Peranakan Cuisine Volume 2: Straits Heritage Cuisine by Shermay Lee Mrs Lee Chin Koon (1907 – 1980), mother of Singapore’s founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, and a Peranakan by descent, spent a lifetime compiling her own collection of family recipes. Mrs Lee’s granddaughter Shermay Lee has faithfully reworked these well-loved heirloom recipes into two fully illustrated cookbooks. These revised editions have become well-loved classics in their own right, showcasing the richness and diversity of modern Peranakan cooking, while staying true to its traditional roots.
“V K Rajan has written a personal and fascinating account of his long career in the Singapore Civil Service. He encountered and worked with many pioneer political leaders of Singapore. He interacted with numerous foreign leaders over the years in different capacities, including as Chief of Protocol at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and as Singapore’s ambassador to several countries. He heard and saw at close quarters how royalty, top decision-makers and brilliant minds talked about Singapore, and how some of our pioneer leaders dealt with bilateral relations and policy matters. With his long experience in the Civil Service and with an eye to the developments past and present, V K Rajan also shared his thoughts on the issues facing Singapore and its future as an independent small state. His devotion to Singapore and what it has achieved comes through clearly. This reflection on V K Rajan’s life is impassioned, inspirational and instructive. It is wonderful reading, especially for those interested in Singapore’s history in the early decades of independence.”
