| Summary/Abstract |
There is abundant literature in the United States on the images that the Americans hold of China, particularly regarding how the China image has evolved over time and the possible impacts of the China image on US-China relations. It will be interesting to figure out the other side of the coin, that is, how the Chinese view the United States and whether the US image plays any part in their foreign-policy preferences toward the United States. Research in this direction needs an interdisciplinary exploration into areas of international relations theory, social psychology, and public opinion analysis.
Various international relations theories give contrasting answers to the question whether national image really matters in foreign-policy decision-making. There is no place for national image in structural realism. Systemic constructivism as expounded by Wendt focuses on the static concept of identity rather than the dynamic one of national image. On the other hand, when scholars dig into the microscopic world of foreign-policy decision-making, images of other countries, among other things, are an important explanatory factor.1

| Summary/Abstract |
By the nineteenth century, with the advance of British colonial activities, British corporate laws had been transplanted to maritime Asia with varying degrees of vigour. In British Hong Kong, these laws often clashed with native customs. Through a reconstruction of the legal disputes found in urban Hong Kong, this paper discusses how British and Chinese business traditions interacted with each other during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Before assessing the historical implications and consequences of these legal decisions, this paper will also explore whether the Chinese institution of tong is compatible with British law in urban Hong Kong.

| Summary/Abstract |
The rise of China poses a great challenge for the transatlantic alliance. Although the common values that bind Europe and North America will not vanish, increasing demands on US resources from the Asia-Pacific region will erode the pre-eminence of the Atlantic alliance in American security policy. NATO must therefore adapt to the new reality by acknowledging the global nature of US commitments in its new Strategic Concept - and European powers must have a debate about the implications of East Asia for their own security.
