| Summary/Abstract |
This article compares anti-American beef politics in South Korea (2008) and
Taiwan (2009) to solve the puzzle of why two similar social protests resulted in
dissimilar outcomes. Given the highly comparable political contexts of conservative
ascendancy, we argue that cultural factors determined the movement trajectories.
The presence of anti-Americanism and the centrality of beef in the national diet
produced a strong anti-government movement in Korea but not in Taiwan.

| Summary/Abstract |
This essay examines how China's "harmonious world" foreign policy has unintentionally created opportunities for citizens to challenge elite discussions of foreign policy. Although they are relative outsiders, the essay argues that citizen intellectuals are a growing influence as a source of ideas about China's future-and the world's.

| Summary/Abstract |
The "ASEAN family" of regional security institutions has a mixed record: it has proved
very helpful in improving interstate trust, fairly helpful in managing peaceful change,
somewhat helpful in enhancing regime stability, but virtually useless in resolving
interstate conflict. Overall, East Asia remains dominated by conventional forms of
international relations.

| Summary/Abstract |
Although the normative ideal of multiculturalism is the accommodation of communal
differences, Singaporean multiculturalism is instead integral to a corporatist form of
governance. This article argues that an emerging Singaporean-ness antithetical to the
necessary inter-communal divisions required for corporatism poses a strong challenge
to the manner in which the city-state is governed.

under enormous strain over the past two decades. This article contends that this

including school refusal, retreat from society (hikikomori), and sexless couples.

| Summary/Abstract |
Burma's recent election was clearly not free and fair. However, it can also be seen as
improving a uniquely unrepresentative government, creating greater pluralism, and
institutionalizing differences within the ruling junta. Even the rigged election may
have created opportunities for further opening in the future.
