| Summary/Abstract |
This paper examines the regional environmental co-operation in East Asia at the local government level, focusing on the intercity environmental co-operation between the two cities in Japan and China-Kitakyushu and Dalian-as a case. Theoretically, this case demonstrates the dynamic nature of local government level environmental co-operation in the sense that all the three levels-government, local government, and private-are closely interconnected, and the major actors-the firms-play a role in shaping the outcome of intercity co-operation. Also, in terms of policy implication, this case is important not just for East Asian but also global environmental politics because it is the co-operation between cities in China and Japan-the two most important countries in East Asia that affect regional and global environmental protections efforts seriously. In order to investigate the reasons of success, and the dynamic nature of intercity environmental co-operation, this paper suggests a framework for analysis on the relationship between multiple dimensions of regional environmental co-operation, and then, examines the historical process and the details of the case and explains why this case has been remarkably successful and produced significant outcome. Finally, it draws some theoretical as well as policy implications of this case in terms of possibilities for and limitations of East Asian regional environmental co-operation in the future.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article describes a project-based course titled “International Relations and Games” in which students were required to create game rules and scenarios using IR concepts, theories, approaches, and topics. Although students learned through participation in games and simulations in previous classes, they acquired further knowledge by developing their own games—a case of “learning by creating.” The course was designed with expectations that (1) game-creation activities would facilitate peer-based and self-directed learning; (2) it would help improve students’ creativity; and (3) it would enable students to understand the importance and utility of discipline in the world beyond their classroom. Students conducted three game-creation projects in the semester. Based on the instructor’s observations, student surveys, and personal-interview results, it is concluded that all three expectations were met—especially that students felt as if they were leading the class.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article investigates how corporate social responsibility (CSR) is operated inChinawith a particular focus on the role of the government. It finds that CSR in China is implemented through two big networks: one for foreign invested enterprises, mostly consisting of voluntary initiatives targeting Chinese domestic consumers, and the other of domestic stateowned enterprises (SOEs), implementing non-voluntary, governmentdriven initiatives mostly targeting foreign markets. The role of the government is especially critical in the latter network. The government has developed a national strategy to encourage SOEs to promote CSR by issuing guidelines, providing various kinds of support for research and conventions, and developing China's own reporting standards in certain industries. Government intervention has resulted in the creation of two separate worlds of CSR and a Chinese version of government-led CSR in which the role of civil actors such as nongovernmental organizations is seriously limited.
