Broadening the Concept of Security in East and Southeast Asia: the impact of the Asian financial crisis and the September 11 Incident / Cheng, Joseph Y S   Journal Article
Cheng, Joseph Y S Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2006.
Summary/Abstract External threat plays a diminishing role in the foreign policies of China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Some version of modernization diplomacy is pursued so that economic interests are accorded priority. It is in this context that they have gradually adopted comprehensive security and similar concepts. At the individual level, aspirations and security are also realized in the context of satisfactory economic development. At the international level, regional economic co-operation associated with market liberalization is perceived as an important means to maintain a peaceful external environment and to promote economic growth. The concept of security is thus both broadened and extended to link up the international, regime and individual levels. The Asian financial crisis exposed the contradictions between the developed countries of the West and the developing economies in the Asia-Pacific region; it also challenged the dominant domestic political coalitions in Southeast Asia based on existing development strategies. New alignments therefore have to be established within the Asia-Pacific region to ensure effective interest articulation within the World Trade Organization (WTO) framework, and the shaking of the foundation of the regional regimes produced varied responses ranging from defensive adjustment to offensive adjustment and fundamental economic restructuring. Values and aspirations on the part of individuals have to be redefined too. The threat of terrorism was first highlighted by the September 11 Incident, but terrorism in the region was largely rooted in domestic ethnic and socio-economic contradictions and exacerbated by economic difficulties in the wake of the Asian financial crisis. The threat of terrorism has in turn alerted the regional governments to the issues of radical Islam, the widening gap between the rich and poor and inter-ethnic relations, as well as to a whole range of non-traditional security issues. In short, comprehensive security must include good governance.

Chinese and ‘self-segregation’ in Africa / Yan, Hairong; Sautman, Barry   Journal Article
Sautman, Barry Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Chinese are often said to ‘self-segregate’ in Africa. Chinese ethnocentricity is typically offered as an explanation for the putative non-interaction. Meanwhile Chinese are not compared to other non-indigenous people in Africa, implying unique Chinese self-isolation. Due to China’s semi-peripheral dynamics however, the contemporary Chinese presence in Africa cannot be generalized into a single category. Based on surveys, interviews, and documents, we examine the varied presence of Chinese in Africa, including residential patterns acquisition of local African languages, and socialization patterns, and draw distinctions between Chinese expatriates and Chinese migrants. Factors affecting Chinese adaptation include local political environment, recentness of migration, language barriers, and corporate policies to mitigate crime and conflict. We argue that most Chinese in Africa are not self-isolated and not more isolated in Africa than are other Asian migrants and whites there. Claims of Chinese self-isolation reflect a longstanding, global Yellow Peril discourse that persists despite discrediting evidence.

cultural other and the nearest neighbor: Han–Nuosu relations in Zhaojue County, Southwest China / Zhao, Deyun; Hein, Anke   Journal Article
Zhao, Deyun Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Greater Liangshan is one of the few regions of China where, among 70–80% of Nuosu, the Han are a minority. Instead of the much more common phenomenon of ‘Hanification,’ here we can observe Han absorbing traits of other ethnic groups. Based on two seasons of fieldwork combined with historical texts and previous ethnographic research, this paper discusses this phenomenon, raising issues of ethnic identity and the influence of local circumstances on interethnic relations. Throughout the paper, it becomes clear that there is no simple dichotomy between Han and Nuosu, but that the situation is considerably more complex. The Nuosu fall into several castes, and the Han settlers had two different experiences. Some were captured as slaves and tried to become fully Nuosu. Ethnic relations in the Greater Liangshan are thus highly complex and require more research to be thoroughly understood.

Difficult integration of Muslims into quebec since 9/11: international or local dynamics? / McAndrew, Marie; Bakhshaei, Mahsa   Journal Article
McAndrew, Marie Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract In countries of immigration it is often assumed, and sometimes quite clearly demonstrated, that the events of 11 September 2001 and their aftermath had a negative impact on ethnic relations, especially with regard to the perception and treatment of Muslims, who often represent a significant minority population, particularly in Europe. Most analysts agree, though, that these phenomena were not created by the post-9/11 wave of islamophobia, but thrived on the fertile ground of a problematic historical relationship with the Muslim world, which dates back to the Crusades and was nourished by colonialism.1

Eastern Muslims of Sri Lanka: special problems and solutions / Imtiyaz, A R M   Journal Article
Imtiyaz, A R M Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Conflict in Sri Lanka between the Tamils and the Sinhalese brought the Eastern Muslims into the crossfire. Muslim elites and politicians generally cooperate with the Sinhalese ruling class. Such cohabitation irritated the Tamils. Since 1985, relations between the Tamils and the Muslims in the Eastern region have become strained, and Muslims claimed they have some problems to be solved. This study attempts to identify some special problems of the Eastern Muslims. A questionnaire on the special problems of the Eastern Muslims was distributed to the Eastern youth, students, unemployed Muslims and farmers. The population of the target group was selected randomly. More than 150 questionnaires were issued with a 75 percent response rate. Interviews were also conducted on the phone with an educated section of the Eastern Muslims. This study also suggests solutions to the protracted ethno-political conflict based on power sharing.

Encounters in Zomia: Dynamics of Ethnic Relations in the Pu'er Tea Trade in Southern Yunnan, China / Zhen, Ma   Journal Article
Zhen, Ma Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article examines the dynamic interactions between the people of the plains and the people in the highlands as they respond to dramatic economic transformations in Menghai county in Yunnan's southern Xishuangbanna prefecture. In particular, it focuses on the encounters between Han tea merchants, Dai intermediaries and upland ethnic minorities by examining the Pu'er tea trade. The structural relationship between the non-local Han, and the local highland dwellers and lowland Dai changes as the brisk tea market climbs into the mountains. The author argues that the commercial interactions among the three groups are complex, hierarchical and dynamic. Their encounters with the modern tea market have reshaped internal and external ethnic relations in Menghai, Xishuangbanna. Simultaneously, there is an increasing sense of pride in their mountainous homeland among the highland ethnic minorities.

Ethnic tension in Kyrgyzstan in the post-conflict period: ethnosociological survey results / Chotaeva, Cholpon   Journal Article
Chotaeva, Cholpon Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The author analyzes the ethnocultural and psychological factors contributing to the continued ethnic tension in Kyrgyzstan in the post-conflict period. These factors figured prominently in the flare-ups of ethnic tension and continued ethnic strain. Dr. Chotaeva proceeds from the results of an ethnosociological survey carried out in five regions of Kyrgyzstan. The ethnocultural factors are related to various aspects of ethnic identity-the extent to which the family and close relatives affect ethnic self-identity and the degree to which the survey respondents were familiar with their ethnic history and follow ethnic traditions and customs in everyday life. The psychological factors were determined by the degree of trust the members of one ethnic group feel toward another. The sociological survey also included questions designed to identify the respondents' civic identity, which directly depends on the degree to which the republic's ethnic groups are integrated and which, on the other hand, is slowed down by ethnic and regional specifics. The continued ethnic tension has intensified an awareness of ethnic identity; however the sociological survey demonstrated that a common civic identity still prevails over ethnic identity. The absolute majority of the respondents consider themselves to be citizens of Kyrgyzstan and are not contemplating emigration.
