China's roads to influence / Holslag, Jonathan   Journal Article
Holslag, Jonathan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract This paper argues that although the People's Republic of China is promoting crossborder networks as a new regional common good, it is driven by both the fear of losing influence to other powers and the desire to create an open economic order in pursuit of Chinese interests. As in most forms of communication, it also appears in this case that the strongest player is best positioned to use these channels to its own advantage.

Choi, Jungug Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract This study analyzes the party system in Indonesia's parliamentary elections since 1999. It argues that neither district magnitude nor social diversity accounts for the dramatically increased number of parties in votes at the district level over time; the increase may stem from the introduction of popular presidential elections and the rise of new issues.

Non-traditional security in China-ASEAN cooperation: The Institutionalization of Regional security cooperation and the evolution of East Asian regionalism / Arase, David   Journal Article
Arase, David Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract The institutionalization of China-ASEAN non-traditional security cooperation is underappreciated, even though its significance should be apparent to Western analysts. Appreciating China-ASEAN non-traditional security cooperation leads to the realization that it has strategic significance, and that the broader China-ASEAN multilateral process is the most institutionally developed expression of East Asian regionalism today.

Tale of two Afghanistans: comparative governance and insurgency in the north and south / Englehart, Neil A   Journal Article
Englehart, Neil A Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Afghanistan is often depicted as a failing state, but its failures display distinctive patterns over time and space. Regional variations in governance have been important in shaping the ways the Afghan state has failed and the consequences of these failures. This article argues that a history of better governance in the north facilitated the disarmament of militia warlords and comparative stability. By contrast, the south has a long history of minimal formal governance, creating opportunities for increased Taliban insurgency.
