ASIA-PACIFIC TRADE POLICIES

(In 2 Volumes)

Volume ➊: Political Economy of Agricultural Protection in East Asia Volume ➋: Agricultural and Manufacturing Protection in Australia Editor-in-Chief: Kym

Anderson

University of Adelaide and Australian National University, Australia Protectionism has been placed under the media spotlight, with news headlines generated by populist anti-globalisation movements and Donald Trump’s term as US President. Such a policy stance is putting at risk unilateral trade reform efforts in the Asia-Pacific region and elsewhere.

This two-volume reference work provides a timely update on how far the region has come in opening markets. It analyses 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 has changed over the past century but especially since the 1980s, and how that has affected trade between natural resource-poor and resource-rich economies.

This book examines the system of military comfort women in Asia and the Pacific created and maintained by Japan during World War II. It uses the comfort women system as a lens for exploring the ways in which body, sexuality and identity are deployed in the creation of patriarchal relations, ethnic hierarchies, and colonial/nationalist power. This book analyzes the role and nature of the comfort women system as a mechanism of social control by the colonial state. This requires the examining of sexuality and body politics, the social background of the victims, wartime working conditions, and regulation of soldiers’sexuality.

This book provides a comprehensive and balanced view of the main transformations that are happening in the Chinese economy today. This view has developed from more than 200 interviews and numerous surveys (based on primary data), in addition to mainstream literature by academia and consultancy companies. The aim of this book is to help readers understand the often conflicting nature of China, not only from an economic point of view, but also from political and social point of view. In this sense, it tries to give the reader an eclectic picture of China — the country of contradictions.

The Japanese Educational Model of Holistic Education

edited by Ryoko Tsuneyoshi (University of Tokyo, Japan), et al.

Can They Succeed?

236pp 978-981-3235-93-9

This book, set against the background of accounts of globalisation, aims to figure out the consumer orientation of the middle class in contemporary China, in particular how the new elements in consumer orientation operate in the Chinese context. The book focuses on the consumption patterns from everyday consumption, taste and material culture. It highlights consumers’self-referential orientations: the pursuit of pleasure, tempered by considerations regarding comfort, is a significant form of aesthetic justification. The findings challenge the stereotype of the Chinese “new rich” and the one-dimensional pictures of tendencies towards either conspicuous display or frugality.

This book is based on an empirical research on the governance and reform of the contemporary township system in China. It provides an insightful and innovative understanding of China’s township system.

This book assesses ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership in the past 15 years by taking stock of the implementation of existing ASEAN-China cooperation frameworks, mechanisms and programs; defines overall goals and guiding principles of the ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership toward the end of 2030; sets specific targets, to be reached in 2030, for political and security cooperation, economic cooperation, and people-to-people exchanges between ASEAN and China and offers strategies for the 2030 Vision to be aligned with the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the three pillars of ASEAN-China cooperation.

Independent Innovation in China

Based on the outstanding research findings of many visionaries and the initial practices in some local areas in recent years, this book proposes to switch the focus to multidimensional and comprehensive indicators from GDP alone and establish a new economic and social evaluation system, that is, abandon the GDP-centred evaluation system or GDP worship and adopt a comprehensive evaluation system for economic and social development embodying the scientific outlook on development — the comprehensive development index (CDI).

Alongside China’s vast material development, there came a change of its mental habits, largely affected by the technological revolution in the means of mass communication. This book shows how such a change has brought — and yet been brought by — a new form of pictorial thought, essentially sensuous and imagery, which is suggesting a possible future for the world. This study traces the birth of “ordinary people” to the beginning of the century, when the reformation of the political in terms of personal dilemmas or moral groans began.

BESTELLERS When Trees Fall, Monkeys Scatter Rethinking Democracy in China

by John Keane (University of Sydney, Australia) When Trees Fall, Monkeys Scatter shows why locally-made democratic practices often favour one-party rule and why China is becoming a globally significant political laboratory: a 21st century testing ground for a new type of topdown popular government at odds with powersharing democracy as it was known during the past generation. Examples probed in this book include the injection of accountability mechanisms into state bureaucracy, the toleration of independent public opinion leaders, the growing reliance of Party officials and corporate executives on public opinion polls and ‘democratic style’, and the calculated use by Party officials of digitally networked media as early warning devices.

Politics, Culture and Identities in East Asia Integration and Division

This edited book reflects the “yin-yang” of East Asia — the analogy of co-existing “hot and cold” trends in that region. Another focus of this volume is on the politics of identity. The distinctiveness, character and flavour of a group, real or imagined, can be “cool”. “Cool” as in being charming and appealing transcends national boundaries. Plurality and diversity of identities and cultures in East Asia can be a celebration of life and humanity. However, xenophobic identities, often based on exclusive race, language, religion and hegemony, and its subsequent politicisation can rend a nation apart. Indeed, the affirmation of one’s identity may be at the expense or denial of the identity of “the other”.

Analysing the Resilience of the OneParty Dominant State in Singapore by Bilveer Singh (National University of Singapore, Singapore)

This book examines the PAP staying power of the People’s Action Party, a political party that has governed Singapore since June 1959. A political titan with few chinks in its armour, the party has kept winning elections under three prime ministers and Singapore is about to witness a transition to the fourth prime minister. The party’s seemingly unstoppable sterling performance makes the issue of the durability of the PAP highly critical. In light of the serious weakness of the opposition and the strong performance legitimacy of the ruling party, it is worthwhile asking the question, can the PAP stumble and fall?

A Memoir of the Founder of Singapore

What non-academic factors do we need to pay more attention to? How do we approach the issues and effect changes with meaningful impact?

Can Singapore Fall?

Making the Future for Singapore

by Lim Siong Guan (Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, Singapore) Lim Siong Guan, Singapore’s former Head of Civil Service (1999–2005) was the Institute of Policy Studies’ 4th S R Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore. Lim addresses the question, “Can Singapore Fall?”, by examining the state of Singapore today and proposing what Singapore and Singaporeans must do in order to prevent economic and social decline. Taking inspiration from Sir John Glubb’s essay, The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival, Lim urges Singaporeans to counter decline by observing the “three legs of honour”: Trust, Diversity, and Excellence. These include becoming a gracious society and building up a culture of innovation, excellence and outwardness. 126pp 978-981-3238-07-7 978-981-3238-62-6(pbk)

He uses metaphors such as the “black elephant” and concepts like the “dialectic of governance” to explain how a systematic approach to thinking about the future can help countries in general — and Singapore in particular — build resilience and develop a comparative advantage in the face of uncertainty and rapid change. 172pp 978-981-3231-82-5 978-981-3233-74-4(pbk)

Understanding Singapore Politics

Singapore 2065

Understanding Singapore Politics is written to address the dearth of a succinct overview on Singapore politics. This introductory text looks at the factors that shape the island-republic’s domestic politics, the key institutions and issues in the city-state, electoral power as well as the political direction Singapore is likely to take in a post-Lee Kuan Yew era. The role of civil and civic society, including pressures for democratisation, is also examined. In addition, various new political issues — the importance of race, income equality and migration — and their implications are discussed. Finally, the linkage between Singapore’s domestic and foreign policy is analysed. This foundational guide to Singapore politics is recommended for anyone who has an interest or a stake in the island republic.
