Contentious histories and the perception of threat: China, the United States, and the Korean war-an experimental analysis / Gries, Peter Hays; Prewitt-Freilino, Jennifer L; Cox-Fuenzalida, Luz-Eugenia; Zhang, Qingmin   Journal Article

Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Chinese and Korean protests over "revisionist" Japanese histories of World War II are well known. The impact of contested Chinese and US histories of the Korean War on US-China relations today has received less attention. More broadly, there has been little research seeking to systematically explore just how history textbook controversies matter for international relations. This article experimentally manipulates the impact of nation (US/China), of source (in-group/out-group textbooks), and of valence (positive/negative historical narratives) on measures of beliefs about the past, emotions, collective self-esteem, and threat perception in present-day US-China relations. A 2 × 2 × 2 design exposed randomized groups of Chinese and US university students to fictional high school history textbook accounts of the Korean War. Findings reveal significant effects of nation, source, and valence and suggest that the "historical relevance" of a shared past to national identities in the present has a dramatic impact on how historical controversies affect threat perception.

Historical beliefs and the perception of threat in Northeast As: colonialism, the tributary system, and China-Japan-Korea relations in the twenty-first century / Gries, Peter Hays; Zhang, Qingmin; Masui, Yasuki; Lee, Yong Wook   Journal Article
Gries, Peter Hays Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Historical controversies continue to plague northeast Asian politics today, with Chinese and Koreans protesting Japanese history textbooks and Japanese politicians' visits to Yasukuni Shrine, and Koreans protesting Chinese claims that the ancient Kingdom of Goguryo was Chinese, not Korean. Yet, there is little empirical research exploring what, if any, impact historical beliefs have on threat perception and foreign policy preferences in northeast Asia today. On the basis of surveys of Chinese, Japanese, and South Korean university students, this paper explores the relationships among beliefs about the past, perceived threat in the present, and foreign policy preferences for the future. Results and their implications for northeast Asian security are discussed.

Patriotism, nationalism and China's US policy: structures and consequences of Chinese national identity / Gries, Peter Hays; Zhang, Qingmin; Crowson, H Michael; Cai, Huajian   Journal Article
Gries, Peter Hays Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract What is the nature of Chinese patriotism and nationalism, how does it differ from American patriotism and nationalism, and what impact do they have on Chinese foreign policy attitudes? To explore the structure and consequences of Chinese national identity, three surveys were conducted in China and the US in the spring and summer of 2009. While patriotism and nationalism were empirically similar in the US, they were highly distinct in China, with patriotism aligning with a benign internationalism and nationalism with a more malign blind patriotism. Chinese patriotism/internationalism, furthermore, had no impact on perceived US threats or US policy preferences, while nationalism did. The role of nationalist historical beliefs in structures of Chinese national identity was also explored, as well as the consequences of historical beliefs for the perception of US military and humiliation threats.

Towards an integrated theory of Chinese Foreign Policy: bringing leadership personality back in / Zhang, Qingmin   Journal Article
Zhang, Qingmin Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This article tries to integrate the theories of personality type and Chinese foreign policy studies. It finds that theories of personality offer a new perspective on the study of Chinese foreign policy and help to better explain the differences in China's foreign policy under Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, including their international orientation, the main themes of China's foreign policy during their respective times in office, their policies towards the major powers, as well as those towards small countries. Theoretically, such integration contributes to the development of a more general theory of foreign policy analysis that would travel better beyond the borders of the American case. Empirically it highlights the necessity and benefit of an integrated approach bringing leadership personality back into the center of the analysis while taking into account other levels of analysis in the study of Chinese foreign policy.
