| Summary/Abstract |
Interpretations of history have been a source of tension in East Asia but usually involve Japan and the Second World War. Yet, in the past ten years, another controversy has been brewing over history, this time between South Korea and China over claims to 'ownership' of an ancient kingdom. This article is a case study that examines how states utilize reinterpretations of history for current and future strategic goals. The result has been a dispute that has resembled a security dilemma where China's initial actions, deemed to be largely defensive by Beijing, were perceived in Seoul as offensive, provoking a counter-response that has in turn, alarmed China.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article examines the mechanisms by which the Singaporean government legitimizes its interventionist governance of the country's economy - specifically, private sector development. The discussion uses qualitative research methods consisting of archival research and in-depth interviews to look at the properties of governance that characterize the relationship between the State and the market, particularly organized business and labour, as integral stakeholders in the process of economic policy formulation and implementation. Moreover, attention is paid to understanding the implications of changing institutional and political mechanics that surround the rather complex partnership between the public and private sectors.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article seeks to understand the changing behavior of oppositional groups during socioeconomic changes using a comparative study of Singapore and Hong Kong. In order to better understand this process, three ideal typical phases are suggested. An almost complete lack of oppositional behavior characterizes the first phase, the 'colonial phase'. Second, the 'localization phase' occurs due to the increasing complexity of the political system and the need to become more responsive to the people. A major legitimacy crisis fundamentally changes the relationship between oppositional groups and the Government. In the 'decolonization phase', oppositional groups become mobilized and form coalitions to demand greater democratization.
