About the author
Yasmin Koppen is postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for the Study of Religions at Leipzig University, focusing on Chinese and Southeast Asian religions. She completed her studies in Chinese and Religious Studies at Ruhr University Bochum and enhanced her expertise in Vietnamese studies as a research fellow at LWL-Museum für Archäologie in Herne. Her doctoral studies were supported by AREA Ruhr. Her current research concerns the religionization of environmental movements in the struggle of indigenous cultures against green imperialism in Southeast Asia.

About the Book
The book examines the contrasting outcomes of the Chinese Empire’s conquests of Sichuan and Vietnam with a focus on the dynamics between central authority and local autonomy, as they are evident in the transformation of sacred sites. The Experiential Architecture Analysis (EAA) introduced in this book offers a framework to examine spatial-social interactions, which provided new insights into transcultural ideology transfer and the roles of sacred sites in visualizing power and resistance. The case studies demonstrate the role of hydrolatric sites in the social resilience of local cultures under transregional pressure.

The AREA Book Talk Series (online via Zoom) will be continued.
The Book Talk Series gives experts from AREA Ruhr the chance to meet up with authors of newly released academic books that deal with topics related to East Asia from a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives to discuss their novel publications. weniger

Felix Berenskötter, PhD is Reader in International Relations in the Department of War Studies at King’s College, London.

Abstract:
This talk explores the concept of trust in international friendship. Trust is generally accepted as intrinsic to and, perhaps, the key feature of friendship. Yet precisely because of its centrality, and because international friendship is not a straightforward phenomenon, we need to think carefully about how we situate and ‘see’ trust in such a configuration. The talk approaches this task in three steps: (i) reviewing different ways trust can be conceptualised in general, highlighting its future-orientation, (ii) offering a reading that is intertwined with an ontology of international friendship as shared being in time, and (iii) linking the concept to observable expressions in international politics, namely practices of solidarity, the sharing of private information/secrets, and critique.

Sustainability in Japan  |  Fri–Sun, November 15–17, 2024  |  Japanese-German Center Berlin (JDZB)
The Conference
Making human activity on Earth sustainable is currently the greatest challenge of mankind. Ever since the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, the topic has gained world-wide popularity, but what sustainability means, how it can be achieved, how it is politically negotiated, and which actors are involved differs widely across the world. The purpose of this conference is to gain a better understanding of how issues of sustainability are understood, framed and pursued by different actors in Japan. Focusing on economic, societal, and political perspectives, we hope not only to encourage more social science research and teaching related to sustainability issues in Japan, but also to interrogate more widely what sustainability means for the academic profession.

Comparative Perspectives on the Transformation of East Asian Labor Markets through International Skilled Migration
Saturday, 2nd November 2024, 9.30–18.45 (JST)

Dear all,

We would like to invite you to the upcoming workshop
Comparative Perspectives on the Transformation of East Asian Labor Markets through International Skilled Migration, on Saturday 2nd November, at the Institute of Social Science at the University of Tokyo.

This on-site workshop brings together scholars working on skilled migration, not only in Japan but also in South Korea and Taiwan, as all three countries similarly undergo an accelerated demographic decline and a labor shortage. These countries are in dire need to attract and secure long-time skilled professionals in order to maintain economic growth, to remain competent in global markets, and counter challenges arising from population decline and the fourth industrial revolution. The objective of the workshop is therefore to understand how different actors in the three countries – government, firms, and migrant individuals/employees – shape the transformation of the domestic labor market, adjust to or proactively seek out opportunities in the increasingly internationalizing/globalizing labor market, and navigate the problems associated with this transformation. Please see the attached for details of the program:
https://www.uni-due.de/imperia/md/content/in-east/events/program__short__comp_persp_labor_market.pdf

The workshop information is as follows:
DATE: Saturday, 2nd November
TIME: 9:30 to 18:45
LOCATION: Room 549 (5th floor) at Building 37 (Akamon General Research Building),
University of Tokyo, Institute of Social Science (ISS)

REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY. Please register from the following link by Monday 29th October. Registered attendees are invited to stay for the join lunch.

Nachhaltigkeit, Umwelt- und Klimaschutz in China. Informationen und Austausch im Herbst am Konfuzius-Institut. Start: 10.10.2024
Das Thema Klimawandel bewegt auch die chinesische Öffentlichkeit. Umweltschutz und Klimapolitik haben einen hohen Stellenwert und sind grundlegend relevant für wirtschafts- und gesellschaftspolitische Entscheidungen. Bis zum Jahr 2030 will das Land den Höchststand der CO₂-Emmissionen erreicht haben und ab 2060 soll China klimaneutral sein. Aber wie geht die Regierung diese Mammutaufgabe an? Welche Initiativen entwickelt die Privatwirtschaft? Wie will das Land Emissionen reduzieren und regulieren? Was sind die Herausforderungen für die Energiesicherheit? Welche Akteure sind wie in den politischen Prozess rund um die angestrebte grüne Transformation involviert? Mit vier vielbeachteten Referentinnen und Referenten aus Deutschland und China beleuchtet und diskutiert das Konfuzius-Institut im Oktober und November im Rahmen der Vortragsreihe China im Fokus die Themen Nachhaltigkeit, Umwelt- und Klimaschutz in China.

Wie gewohnt ist nach den Vorträgen Zeit für Fragen aus dem Publikum eingeplant. Im Anschluss lädt das Konfuzius-Institut zum Verweilen und Austausch ein, für eine Erfrischung ist gesorgt (ausgenommen Online-Vortrag). Die Teilnahme an allen Vorträgen ist kostenlos, um Anmeldung über die Webseite www.konfuzius-institut-ruhr.de wird gebeten.

German-Style Shadow Education: Development, Specifics, and Implications
Zoom link:
https://eduhk.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ctHGPdnXQw42K46?Q_CHL=qr
Abstract:
Shadow education (SE, i.e. private supplementary tutoring) has rapidly expanded since the 1990s and become part of mass schooling in many societies including Germany. As a result, SE is often understood as a cost-intensive status attainment strategy of upper classes that likely exacerbates the strong dependence of educational success on the students’ social origin, reflecting a failing public school system. However, research on SE in Germany does not provide clear evidence to answer the most pressing related questions: (1) What causes the (increased) investment in SE; and (2) what are the effects of SE on academic performance, school allocation and status attainment?
To answer both questions, the author draws on two major German panel studies: (1) the German National Education Panel Study (GNEPS); and (2) the German Life Courses into Middle Adulthood (LifE) study.
Results indicate that German-style SE is largely used by middle and low strata who use SE to achieve their (relatively higher) educational goals, but do not advance to educational tracks with the highest expectable returns. Our findings further indicate that dynamic factors behind the family decision for SE related to intergenerational transmission and individual characteristics should be stronger considered in future research.

The Role of Shadow Education for Educational Success: Effects on Tracking Allocation in Germany and Japan
Zoom link:
https://hku.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAtc-uupzIsEtOj-VH1gSnUbFlihdiifqQT#/registration
Abstract:
The talk provides results from a comparative analysis examining the strategies behind family investment in SE and its outcomes for school allocation in two different institutional and cultural settings: Germany and Japan. Using national panel data, results show that in Germany SE is used largely independent of SES and does not improve the chances of admission to more advantageous schools. In contrast, SE provides students in Japan with significant advantages for educational progress at high costs (monetary and non-monetary). The results are discussed regarding the potential contribution of SE to educational success and social inequality within given country-specific constraints. weniger

Abstract
The current status of migrant integration in Korea seems to be far from ideal. The human rights violations against migrants remain common in the workplace and everyday life. The public’s perception and attitudes toward migrants have changed from paternalism to apathy, and is deteriorating to the level of hatred toward certain groups. Korean adults' multicultural acceptance increased from 2010 to 2015, but has continued to decline since then. The level of social integration of migrant workers and married immigrant women, which are representative groups of migrants in Korea, is not high in both material and psychological aspects. Migrant workers have a high employment rate, but they work long hours in low-skilled, low-wage work, are exposed to non-payment or delayed payment of wages and physical and verbal violence, and their labor rights are greatly restricted. They cannot bring their families, and their opportunities to acquire permanent residency and nationality are greatly limited, so they are not subject to social integration. Marriage migrant women tend to have low employment rates, employment stability, and income due to their low age and education level, ability to understand Korean language and culture, the large age and cultural gap with their husbands, and the burden of childbirth and childcare. They are also dependent on their husbands because they need their consent when applying for permanent residency and nationality. The language and culture of their home country are not respected and they are under strong pressure to assimilate into Korean culture.

Abstract
Using monthly price data from the Survey of Wholesale Markets for Fruits and Vegetables of Japan, we demonstrate that regional taste differences are an obstacle to inter-regional market integration. We propose a novel strategy for identifying the causal effect of localized tastes on bilateral market integration, we propose a novel identification strategy. We use the spatial distribution of historical dialects in Japan to measure historical-cultural proximity, which can be used as an instrument for the persistent dissimilarity in local food preferences. In accordance with the localized taste hypothesis, we find that regions which historically did not share a similar dialect/culture are characterized by persistent taste differences, explaining the lack of bilateral market integration among these regions. weniger

Abstract
A small city-state with a highly developed economy strategically situated in Southeast Asia, Singapore is a major hub for migration/mobility in the Asia-Pacific region and has one of highest non-resident-to-resident population ratios in the world. While migration research has long noted that Singapore has a bifurcated foreign labour-immigration regime favouring the highly-educated/skilled migrants, more recent research seems to suggest that even the well-educated, professional, middle-class migrants are not exempted from insecurity and precarity under Singapore’s tightening immigration regime since the late 2000s and early 2010s. This talk draws on several strands of migrant-focused research that emerged within the past decade in Singapore, specifically offering insights from published and ongoing research (including several of the author’s own projects) about the settlement and integration experiences of migrant professionals (from Chinese and Indian backgrounds), immigrant-background teachers in mainstreams schools, and immigrant parents whose children go to government schools. It is argued that a common theme characterizing the experience of these diverse “migrant middle” groups in Singapore is a sense of insecurity resulting from increasing difficulties of obtaining a permanent foothold (permanent residency/citizenship) in the country. The paper also sheds light on how feelings of uncertainty, anxiety and precarity manifest in realms such as work and children’s education for these “insecure” migrant middle in Singapore.

Two Lectures at the Education University of Hong Kong, June 6, 2024, Moderator: YUNG Wai Ho
Talk 1: A Comparative Analysis of Shadow Education Systems: Insights from Hong Kong and Germany
Abstract
Shadow education, a metaphor for private supplementary tutoring, significantly influences educational trajectories worldwide. This presentation explores the underlying structures, cultural influences, and educational impacts of shadow education systems in Hong Kong and Germany. Drawing from our ongoing research, this presentation utilises both quantitative data and qualitative narratives to offer a comprehensive analysis of how these systems operate within different educational paradigms.
In Hong Kong, shadow education is pervasive, driven by a high-stakes exam culture and societal expectations. Conversely, Germany’s engagement with shadow education varies significantly, influenced by regional educational policies and less centralised examinations. This presentation will discuss the implications of these differences for educational equity and access, highlighting how socio-economic status influences the utilisation and effectiveness of shadow education. We will highlight the complexities and nuances of shadow education, comparing these two distinct contexts to better understand their roles in shaping educational success and social mobility.
Our findings suggest that while both systems aim to supplement mainstream education, the motivations, accessibilities, and outcomes differ markedly. These differences underscore the need for tailored educational policies that consider the unique cultural and systemic contexts of each region. The presentation will conclude with recommended strategies for policy-makers and educators to mitigate inequalities exacerbated by shadow education systems.

Talk 2: Education in East Asia and the West: The Role of Shadow Education for Educational Success and Inequality
Abstract
Families with advantaged socioeconomic status (SES) are believed to increasingly invest in shadow education (SE) to enhance their children’s school success and thereby ensure they maintain a high social status. The global rise in SE therefore points to increasing inequality in relative educational opportunities, because high SES families may significantly improve their children’s educational success at critical transition points in the education system by investing in SE. However, comparative research indicates significant cross-national differences in the functions and implications of SE. The author presents findings based on data of over 60 societies from the PISA study complemented by more detailed national panel data from the United States, Germany and Japan. Findings indicate that the implications of SE are intertwined with characteristics of education system and learning culture and deliver explanations for the oft-reported performance gap between East Asian and Western nations in international assessment tests.

Abstract
The 2018 revision to Japanese immigration control law introduced new residential statuses, “Specified Skilled Worker” Types 1 and 2, and was widely reported as a significant policy change. The scheme certainly seemed novel in that it would apparently open the “front door” for foreign labor, with a prospect for long-term settlement. However, was it really a major departure from the previous Japanese policy toward labor migration? What implications does this new opening have for the acceptance of ethnic diversity in Japan?

To tackle these questions, I revisit the late 1980s to early 1990s when the question of accepting foreign workers was a subject of heated debate in Japan. There were two major events: the revision to the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act, which went into effect in 1990, and the launching of the Technical Intern Training Program in 1993.

My contention is that the 2018 legal change was similar to, and an outgrowth of, the pattern observed three decades earlier. Between 1990 and 1993, “side doors” were enlarged as alternatives to the “front door.” Likewise, in the 2018 law, skill categories were redefined to incorporate a broader set of occupations into what was acceptable as “skilled workers.” I will also discuss potential negative impact of the drive to increase migrant workers on efforts to develop an ethnically inclusive society.

Welche Rolle spielte das Völkerrecht (International Law) bei der Annexion Koreas durch Japan? Über die Kraft des Rechts insbesondere in Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Ländern, die sich bis zu Fragen von Krieg und Frieden steigern können, ist vielfach und tiefgründend debattiert worden. Hier soll die Macht der starken Nation und das Recht als Hoffnungsanker der schwachen Nation nicht als Teil einer allgemeinen Theorie der internationalen Beziehungen erörtert, sondern konkret für den Zeitraum von 1876 bis 1910 in den Beziehungen zwischen Japan und Korea nachgezeichnet werden. Damit soll auch ein Schlaglicht auf eine der historischen Ursachen der Spannungen zwischen Japan und Korea in der Gegenwart geworfen werden.

Die Parlamentswahl in Südkorea und der Stand der liberalen Demokratie in Ostasien  |  Freitag, 12.4.2024, 13.45–17 Uhr  |  NETZ-Gebäude
Am 10. April 2024 finden in Südkorea die ­Wahlen zur 22. Nationalversammlung statt.
Sie liegen in etwa in der Mitte der Amtszeit des derzeitigen konservativen Präsidenten Yoon Suk-yeol. Sie haben damit den Charakter von Halbzeitwahlen (midterm elections) und können als Stimmungsbild zur Politik der amtierenden Regierung interpretiert werden. Gibt es Rückendeckung für die konservative Regierungspolitik oder wird der Opposition erneut die Mehrheit im Parlament gegeben, um weiterhin gegenzusteuern? Wie steht es um die ­liberale Demokratie in Südkorea? Und wie sieht es bei den demokratischen Nachbarn in Japan und Taiwan aus? Welche Schlüsse lassen sich ziehen aus den Wahlergebnissen 2023 in Japan und 2024 in Taiwan? Mit diesen Leitfragen ­laden wir ein, über den Stand der liberalen ­Demokratien in Ostasien zu diskutieren.

In den Ostasien-Gesprächen diskutieren Wissenschaftler*innen des IN-EAST und externe Expert*innen aktuelle Fragen zu Ostasien. Sie wenden sich an Interessierte innerhalb und ­außerhalb der Universität.

Abstract
The development of technology has enabled recent immigrants to be more connected with their home country after international migration. While numerous studies examine various aspects of immigrants’ transnational ties with their home countries, including political activities (e.g., voting in home country elections), economic contributions (e.g., sending remittances), social connections (e.g., maintaining contact with family and friends), cultural engagement (e.g., consuming cultural content exported from the home country), and medical practices (e.g., seeking medical treatment in the home country), the predominant focus has been on transnational ties among immigrants in Western countries. “The East Asian context remains underexplored in transnationalism literature, and I aim to address this gap by examining the frequency of social transnational ties, which is closely related to other fields of transnational ties, and its impact on the health of various immigrant groups in South Korea, a country transitioning into an immigrant-receiving nation. My studies indicate that the maintenance of social transnational ties with the home country varies among immigrant groups and generations. For example, foreign workers tend to maintain stronger ties with their home country than female marriage migrants. Furthermore, the ties are weaker among multicultural adolescents, the second-generation immigrants. The impact of social transnational ties also differs between immigrant generations. On the one hand, social transnational ties play a role as a buffer for foreign workers and female marriage migrants in regard to their physical and mental health. However, unlike the positive impact of transnational ties among first-generation immigrants, the negative impact of transnational ties was observed among second-generation immigrants; multicultural adolescents who maintain transnational ties are more likely to engage in delinquent behaviors and social withdrawal. These findings suggest the need for collaboration between the home countries of migrants and the government of the destination country to facilitate the establishment of positive transnational ties, transforming them into sources of support rather than stress, especially for second-generation immigrants. Furthermore, future studies could apply qualitative methods to elucidate how transnational connections with the home country affect the health and behaviors of immigrants from diverse backgrounds, considering the characteristics and cultures of their home countries.

Abstract
This study examines the introduction of North Korea’s Republican Flag to underscore the role of science in the marshalling of postcolonial political authority. Rather than understand science as simply a mode of knowledge production, the topic is approached as a universalizing discourse generative of political authenticity. The article maintains that this latter expression of the field facilitated and justified the circulation of North Korea’s new national banner. Officially adopted by Pyongyang in 1948, the creation and composition of this symbol of sovereignty has generally been understood as an expression of Soviet influence and North Korean state power. However, by highlighting the circulation of the flag outside of the Northern and by focusing on the assertions that accompanied its introduction, this article attends to how Korea’s Republican Banner enjoyed a social currency rooted in the scientific and progressive traits assigned to the marker.

Abstract
Given the traditionally low ratio of women among the Japanese organizational expatriates, their function in the transnational mobility has long been reduced to their supporting roles as trailing spouses or nurturing mothers. However, a growing number of Japanese female professionals relocate abroad as self-initiated expatriates, and continue a transnational career path even after creating a family. Furthermore, not all those who relocate under the spouse Visa are in fact professionally inactive, proving their agency in defying the traditional power relations between men and women within the context of transnational family-based mobility.
The present empirical study builds on qualitative interviews with Japanese female migrants in Switzerland and Czech Republic, who relocate in the context of a dual career household. It firstly explores both risks and potential of transnational labor mobility through a consideration of conflicting issues related to work/care regimes and institutions or the role of gender in the work-family interaction. The narrative is then taken into perspective in considering Japanese social norms, gender roles and care regimes that continue to reconstruct barriers for more equality-based use of the talent pool that women as a half of the workforce represent.

Abstract
International student flows in higher education between Asian countries have increased rapidly over the last decade. Building upon recent work on shifting patterns of intra-Asia student mobility and the labour migration in Asia, this lecture examines a unique case that is the convergence of these two, the government-led student-worker scheme, International Program of Industry-Academia Collaboration (IPIAC) in Taiwan. The IPIAC targets Southeast Asian students and provides opportunities for students to study in Taiwan while having vocational internships as an essential part of the degree program.

Drawing on interviews with Southeast Asian students studying in Taiwan and faculty members of Taiwanese universities, this research first gives accounts to the main factors that facilitate this unique practice: the neoliberal transformation of higher education and the labour market in Taiwan, and kinship and social networks that influence students’ choice of studying in Taiwan. The economic ties between Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries, including business investments, Taiwan’s reliance on contracted labour migration from certain Southeast Asian countries, and businesses in Taiwan largely relying on migrant workers to provide affordable labour, have laid the ground for the practices and popularity of the student-worker scheme. Furthermore, the aim of this research is to make an innovative inquiry on the ‘double commodification’ of the student-worker scheme in Taiwan, where students are treated as commodities on both the higher education and the labour markets. The author argues that the IPIAC is the convergence of student mobility and contracted labour migration, and it responds to both the high demands of the fee-paying students and the cheap labour forces through the process of double-commodification of students in an invisible way, which corresponds to the growing trend of seeing students as more affordable and flexible labour.

Bio
Yu-chin Tseng was appointed Junior Professor at University of Tübingen in 2018, and since then she has been serving as co-director of the European Research Center on Contemporary Taiwan (ERCCT). She received her PhD in Sociology from the University of Essex in 2015. Her research interests lie in the area of gender, mobility, and intimacy in the context of Asia and Europe. Her current research comprises three main streams: the health behaviours and wellbeing of international students in Taiwan and in Germany; intimate mobilities and their correlation with states in Asia; China’s digital public diplomacy and its outreach to overseas Chinese in Europe. She has published widely on the topics of marriage migrants, gender and family, and China’s public diplomacy. Her latest publication, China’s Twitter Diplomacy in Germany: Practices, Reactions, and Discrepancies, was published in the Journal of Contemporary China in 2023. weniger

Labor and (im)mobility in Japan and East and Southeast Asia: Transnational, regional and rural-urban perspectives
From November 3rd to 5th 2023, QuaMaFA https://quamafa.de/ ) has organized the VSJF conference, with a cooperation of VSJF (German Association for Social Science Research on Japan) and the JDZB (Japanese-German Center Berlin). The conference theme was centred on Labor and (Im)mobility in Japan and East and Southeast Asia: Transnational, Regional and Rural-Urban Perspectives. Nearly 90 people participated in the conference, including one keynote and three roundtable participants from Europe, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

The conference began with a keynote speech by Prof. Biao Xiang, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle. His speech made participants considering about faith and trust in regards of human (cross-border) labour mobility. Following the keynote speech, the conference included four panels, covering topics from internal mobility in Japan to youth (im)mobility and intersectionality of migrants in/of Japan/East Asia. The conference concluded with a roundtable discussion by three panelists from East Asia, Professor Dong-Hoon Seol (Chonbuk National University, South Korea), Professor Hirohisa Takenoshita (Keio University, Japan), and Professor Yen-Fen Tseng (National Taiwan University, Taiwan). They discussed the current debates on labour and (im)mobility in Japan and East Asia, and the discussion underlined not only the importance of the topic but also the need of further comparative research within the region.

The conference is funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the German Research Foundation (DFG), and Toshiba International Foundation.

Reflexionen und Reaktionen in Ostasien auf den russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine  |  NETZ-Gebäude  |  Fr, 2. Juni 2023, 16–19.30 Uhr
Der russische Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine hat in Ostasien unterschiedliche Reaktionen hervorgerufen. Die Führung der Volksrepublik China unter Xi Jinping hat das russische Vorgehen nicht verurteilt und bezeichnet die eigenen Beziehungen zu Russland als „felsenfest“. Während sich wirtschaftliche und politische Verbindungen intensivieren, präsentiert sich die chinesische Regierung als neutraler Vermittler für eine friedliche Lösung des Konflikts.

In Japan und Südkorea herrscht die Besorgnis über eine mögliche Eskalation des Kriegs vor. Beide Länder haben historische Spannungen mit Russland und sind enge Verbündete der USA. Anders als die Regierung der Volksrepublik China sprechen japanische und koreanische Vertreter daher ihre Unterstützung für die Ukraine aus.

Auf Taiwan wird der russische Angriff auf die Ukraine ebenfalls verurteilt. Zahlreiche, vor allem ausländische Beobachter sehen zudem Parallelen zwischen dem Krieg in Europa und einer möglichen Eskalation der Situation in der Taiwanstraße. Die Spannungen scheinen so hoch wie nie und ein möglicher Einmarsch der Volksrepublik in Taiwan ist mehr denn je im Bereich des Möglichen.

Vier Experten sprechen über die Haltungen von Regierungen und Zivilgesellschaften in China, Taiwan, Japan und Korea sowie die Implikationen der russischen Invasion der Ukraine für die Region Ostasien.

Bei Karen Shire und Axel Klein (IN-EAST) informierten sie sich über die vielfältigen Beziehungen der UDE zu Japan. Mit ihrem Schwerpunkt auf sozial- und wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Forschung im IN-EAST hat die UDE eine lange und produktive Beziehung zu Japan und ist in Europa ein führendes Zentrum für Wissen über die dortige Wirtschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft. Auch die Fakultäten für Physik, Ingenieurwissenschaften und Geisteswissenschaften pflegen eine enge Zusammenarbeit mit japanischen Hochschulen. Beide Seiten betonten, an den guten Beziehungen festzuhalten und die Mobilität von Studierenden und Wissenschaftler:innen weiter zu fördern.

Decoding China’s 20th Party Congress | Online-Podiumsgespräch | Montag, 24.10.2022, 18–20 Uhr

Nach Angaben der staatlichen Nachrichtenagentur Chinas wird der 20. Nationale Parteitag der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas am 16. Oktober 2022 in Peking beginnen. Dieser Parteitag, der nur alle fünf Jahre stattfindet, wird formell über die Zusammensetzung der höchsten Organe der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas entscheiden. Wird Xi Jinping, wie allgemein erwartet, Generalsekretär bleiben und (im März 2023) als Staatspräsident wiedergewählt werden? Welche politischen Fraktionen werden dem nächsten Politbüro angehören? Und welche Auswirkungen wird dieses neue parteipolitische (Un-)Gleichgewicht auf Chinas Positionierung auf der Weltbühne haben?

East Asia Talks

Decoding China’s 20th Party Congress | Webinar panel discussion |Monday, October 24, 2022, 6–8 p.m. CEST (Duisburg time)

According to China’s official state news agency, the 20th National Party Congress will start on October 16, 2022, in Beijing. This congress, which convenes only every five years, will formally decide upon the composition of the highest organs of the Chinese Communist Party. Will Xi Jinping, as widely expected, remain General Secretary and (in March 2023) be re-elected as State President? Which political factions will be part of the next Politburo? And what will be the implications of this new factional (im)balance for China’s positioning on the global stage?

Greeting:
Barbara ALBERT (Rector, University of Duisburg-Essen)

Moderation:
Nicole BASTIAN (Handelsblatt)

Panelists:
Shaun BRESLIN (Warwick University, Coventry)
Kerry BROWN (King’s College, London)

Cooperation between China and Germany under the Carbon Neutrality  |  July 28, 2022  |  Webinar via Zoom
In cooperation with its long standing academic partner the Wuhan University, UDE’s IN-EAST hosted the first “5+5 China-Germany High Level Dialogue” on July 28, 2022. In times of increasing political frictions, the format brings together five renowned scientists each from China and Germany to engage in a frank and open minded exchange on a topic of particular societal relevance for the two countries. At this first event, the discussions focused on the challenges of green transformation and the path to carbon neutrality. These issues are not only essential for realizing the SDG agenda and mitigating global climate change; the measures taken in China and Germany also have a decisive impact on achieving the goals on a global scale. Participating in the dialogue from the Chinese side were: Prof. Maosheng Duan, Tsinghua University, Beijing; Prof. Shaozhou Qi, Wuhan University; Prof. Ye Qi, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; Prof. Libo Wu, Fudan University, Shanghai; Prof. Xiaoling Zhang, City University of Hong Kong. The German perspective was represented by: Prof. Dr. Veronika Grimm, University of Nuremberg-Erlangen and Member of the “Five Wise of Economics” (Wirtschaftsweise) – Advisory Board to the German Government; Prof. Dr. Martin Kesternich, University of Kassel and Center for European Economic Research (ZEW); Prof Dr. Andreas Löschel, University of Bochum and Alfried Krupp Senior Fellow at the Alfried Krupp College of Science in Greifswald; Prof. Dr. Anja Senz, University of Heidelberg; Prof. Dr. Markus Taube, University of Duisburg-Essen.

Am 18. Juni 2022 fand unter der Ägide des Instituts für Ostasienwissenschaften IN-EAST und gemeinsam mit der Botschaft der Republik Korea, Außenstelle Bonn, im Glaspavillion des Campus Essen unter dem Motto „Mal, Mal, Hanguk-mal“ der 6. Koreanisch-Redewettbewerb für Studierende in Deutschland statt.
Auf Koreanisch präsentierten dort 23 Studierende aus ganz Deutschland ihre Reden zum Thema „Koreanische Populärkultur“. Auf Koreanisch und fast immer auswendig referierten die Teilnehmer*innen von Hochschulen in Aachen, Bochum, Berlin, Bonn, Düsseldorf, Hamburg und Tübingen über Ihre Begegnungen mit und Gedanken zu koreanischen Filmen, Serien, Literatur und Mode ebenso wie traditionellem Musiktheater, Ess- und Kochkultur, E-Sport und anderen Themen der koreanischen Populärkultur. Die besten acht unter Ihnen durften sich bei der Preisverleihung durch den Generalkonsul Seung-jae Huh über Preise wie ein Flugticket nach Korea, elektronische Geräte und Reiskocher freuen.

In einem qualitativ sehr hochwertigen Feld überzeugte als Hauptpreisträgerin Binta Ceesay von der HTW Berlin mit einem Vortrag mit dem Titel Romantisches Korea. In ihrem Vortrag beschäftigte sie sich auf fast muttersprachlichem Niveau mit verschiedenen romantischen Facetten Koreas – von Romantik in koreanischen Serien über den „White Day“, an dem sich Frauen für Valentinsgeschenke revanchieren, bis zu ihrem Lieblingslied – und sicherte sich so den Flug nach Korea. Auch die beiden Zweitplatzierten Maike Orthgieß von der Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Was macht die koreanische Populärkultur für uns alle so attraktiv?) und Victoria Plasa von der Universität Tübingen (Über ihre Liebe zum theatralischen Musikvortrag des Pansori) beeindruckten mit hervorragend präsentierten Vorträgen.

Wie immer, wenn es um Korea geht, durfte es an gutem Essen nicht fehlen, und so konnten sich alle während der Jurysitzung an der von der Botschaft großzügig gestifteten Auswahl von Dosirak (Lunchboxen) mit Bulgogi, Dalkganjang, Japchae und vegetarischem Bibimbap versuchen.

Most analysts expect Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio to lead the ruling Liberal Democratic Party to a convincing victory at the upcoming House of Councillors election (July 10, 2022). This will allow him to consolidate his domestic political position and avoid becoming a victim of a new era of revolving door leadership. Kishida will also be well placed to make substantive changes to Japan’s defense and security policies in 2023 – should he desire.
This lecture explores the intersecting domestic and international drivers of change that make Kishida an unlikely agent of geopolitical transformation.

Thomas Heberer und Anna Shpakovskaya stellen ihr Duisburger Teilprojekt vor am 15. Juni 2022 in Paris
Seit 2007 ermöglicht das gemeinsame Abkommen zwischen der französischen Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) und der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) zur wissenschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit in den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften die Förderung integrierter deutsch-französischer Forschungsprojekte. Anlässlich des 15. Jahrestages haben ANR und DFG nun eine Reihe herausragender geförderter Projekte ausgewählt, deren Ergebnisse im Rahmen eines Festaktes einer deutsch-französischen Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt werden sollen. Dazu zählt das Duisburger Teilprojekt zu neuen Formen politischer Repräsentation in China. Prof. Dr. Thomas Heberer und Dr. Anna Shpakovskaya werden die Ergebnisse ihres Teilprojektes am 15. Juni im Rahmen des Festkolloquiums in Paris vorstellen. In ihrem Vortrag werden sie zwei Themenbereiche behandeln: (1) eine Typologie der politischen Repräsentation in autoritären Systemen am Beispiel Chinas, wobei sie sich vor allem mit den informellen Formen von Repräsentation befassen werden, und (2) einem neuen konzeptionellen Rahmen: „Digitale politische Repräsentation“, d.h. Repräsentation in Form der Selbstdarstellung von Akteuren über Smartphone-Netzwerke. Drei Jahre lang haben Thomas Heberer und Anna Shpakovskaya dazu in verschiedenen Regionen Chinas geforscht. weniger

Energieschock – Japan nach Fukushima und was wir daraus lernen können  |  Gerhard-Mercator-Haus  |  Fr, 10. Juni 2022, 16–19.30 Uhr
Nach der Nuklearkatastrophe von Fuku­shima am 11. März 2011 wurden in Japan in kurzer Zeit alle, auch die nicht zerstörten, Kernkraftwerke abgeschaltet. Bis heute sind nur sehr wenige Atomkraftwerke wieder in Betrieb. Nach diesem exogenen Schock musste rund 30 % aller elek­trischen Energie eingespart oder durch andere Energiequellen ersetzt werden. Die russische Aggression in der Ukraine kann bald die Länder Europas vor eine ähnliche Herausforderung stellen.

Auf dem 26. Ostasientag diskutieren Experten die gesellschaftlichen, politischen und ökonomischen Auswirkungen eines solchen exogenen Schocks im Energiesektor am Beispiel Japans nach Fukushima: Wie reagierte die Politik? Welche Maßnahmen wurden getroffen? Wie wurde versucht, elektrische Energie einzusparen? Welche Auswirkungen hatte dies auf das Leben der Menschen? Funktionierten unverbindliche Selbstverpflichtungen? Wie waren die Auswirkungen auf die Wirtschaft? …
Und was können wir heute daraus lernen?

Marcel Haupt (*?1986) ist einer der wenigen Fotografen, die bei den Olympischen Sommerspielen in Tokyo 2021 akkreditiert waren. Als ehemaliger Judo-Spitzensportler hat er seine Eindrücke in Fotos und Videos festgehalten, welche die besondere Atmosphäre an den Wettkampfstätten vermitteln und emotionale Momente von Sportler­Innen festhalten.
Mit ihm werden die beiden Wissenschaftler von der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, der Soziologe Prof. Dr. Shingo Shimada, der als Kind die Olympischen Spiele 1964 in Japan erlebte, und der Kulturwissenschaftler Prof. Dr. Christian Tagsold, der die Spiele von 1964 in seiner Dissertation analysierte, über die Unterschiede und Ähnlichkeiten dieser beiden Sportgroßereignisse diskutieren. Daran anschließend führt der Künstler durch die Ausstellung.

Um Anmeldung per E-Mail an
events@in-east.de wird gebeten.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the US- and EU-led response to it are watershed events in global affairs with far-reaching political and economic implications for East and Southeast Asian stability. Governments in these regions have largely sided with the USA and the EU in the General Assembly of the United Nations; however, due to historically rooted and strategic reasons, most Southeast Asian governments did not join the West’s efforts in sanctioning Russia. As the long-term consequences of the geopolitical and economic shifts initiated by this conflict will become discernible, analysis of the divergent perspectives in public opinions and civil society organizations as well as the evaluation states’ responses are urgent. This panel discussion is a first attempt to provide a critical assessment of the responses of selected countries across East and Southeast Asia.

Dienstag, 1. März 2022, Zoom-Online-Podiumsgespräch vom IN-EAST – Nachbetrachtungen
Das Interesse an der Veranstaltung war riesig. 500 Teilnehmer schalteten sich über ZOOM zu dieser von Johannes Pflug moderierten Diskussion zu. In kurzen Eingangsstatements zeichneten die Diskutanten ein sehr differenziertes Bild der chinesischen Politik und der Gründe des russischen Überfalls auf die Ukraine.

Nele Noesselt führte aus, dass zahlreiche Forderungen derzeit seitens der internationalen Staatengemeinschaft an die VR China adressiert werden – mit dem Wunsch, dass Peking als „verwantwortungsbewusste“ Großmacht seine Sonderbeziehungen mit Moskau dazu einsetzen solle, auf ein Ende des Militäreinsatzes in der Ukraine hinzuwirken. Die chinesische Seite verwahrt sich entschieden dagegen, nach Regieanweisungen aus Washington zu handeln, und sieht die Hauptverantwortung für den Konflikt bei den USA und den Osterweiterungsrunden der NATO, durch die sich eine direkte Bedrohungssituation für russische Sicherheitsinteressen ergeben habe. So sollte auch die Enthaltung Pekings bei der Abstimmung über die UN-Resolution im UN-Sicherheitsrat nicht überbewertet werden. Denn dies signalisiert keinen Bruch mit Russland, sondern unterstreicht Chinas Positionierung als unabhängiger, neutraler Akteur. Und ist generell im Einklang mit den Grundlagen der postmaoistischen chinesischen Außenpolitik. Die oft in der transatlantischen Debatte vermutete strategische Kooperation zwischen Peking und Moskau steht weit weniger für den strategischen Schulterschluss zwischen zwei Autokratien, sondern für ein Zweckbündnis – befördert durch die Sanktionen und Abgrenzungspolitik gegen Russland und China, die in diesen Szenarien als Herausforderer der liberalen, regelbasierten Weltordnung klassifiziert werden. Derartige holzschnittartige Muster werden jedoch der vielschichtigen Realität der sino-russischen Beziehungen nicht gerecht. Die Weltordnungsvisionen und außenpolitischen Interessen Pekings sind mit Kriegen entlang der von China avisierten Neuen Seidenstraßenkorridore nicht kompatibel. Inwiefern sich Peking als Mediator und Schlichter in den Konflikt einbringen kann, bleibt abzuwarten.

Markus Taube fokussierte auf die ökonomische Verflechtung Chinas mit Russland und die Frage, inwiefern China Russland darin unterstützen kann, westliche Sanktionen zu unterlaufen. Er zeichnete das Bild einer asymmetrischen Beziehung, in der China in erster Linie als Käufer russischer Rohstoffe (Öl, Gas, Getreide) auftritt, während Russland auf China als Lieferant von Technologiegütern angewiesen ist. Auf dieser Basis kann China die russische Volkswirtschaft stützten, aber bei weitem nicht das volle Maß westlicher Sanktionen ausgleichen. Darüber hinaus wird Chinas Führung darauf bedacht sein, seine Unterstützung der russischen Volkswirtschaft in einem Rahmen zu halten, der keine zusätzlichen Sanktionen Chinas durch die westlichen Staaten (inkl. Japan und Korea) provoziert. Mit letzteren unterhält China bislang sehr viel intensivere und wichtigere Wirtschaftsbeziehungen als mit Russland. Er kommt zu dem Schluss, dass China vielleicht aber auch grundsätzlich gar kein Interesse daran hat, die russische Volkswirtschaft maximal zu unterstützen. Eine längerfristig auf der Importseite auf chinesische Technologien angewiesene russische Volkswirtschaft, die auch in Hinblick auf ihre Ausfuhren in hohem Maße von China abhängig ist, setzt China in eine privilegierte Position gegenüber einem in wachsende Abhängigkeit abrutschenden russischen Junior-Partner.

Klaus Waschik (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) wies in seinem Statement auf die engen Verschränkungen zwischen nationalistischen Ideologien und machtpolitischen Ambitionen in der gegenwärtigen Politik Russlands hin (vgl. Übersicht). In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben sich auf der Basis eines ethnographisch und pseudohistorisch argumentierenden Nationalismus Konzepte zur Vereinigung aller im Ausland verstreuten Russen etabliert, die seit mehr als 10 Jahren auch die russische Regierungspolitik maßgeblich beeinflussen. Hinzu kommt eine Abwendung von einer regelbasierten und Hinwendung zu einer interessenbasierten Außenpolitik, die auch die Anwendung militärischer Gewalt nicht ausschließt.

Daran schloss sich eine sehr lebhafte Diskussion mit dem Publikum an, in dem viele der Kontroversen und Position vertieft wurden. Aus den Augen verloren die Teilnehmer und Organisatoren auch nicht die Hauptleidtragenden der russischen Aggression. Wir alle sind zur Solidarität und Hilfe aufgerufen.

Die Zukunft der Demokratie II

„Die Demokratie steckt in der Krise“ – ein fast allgegenwärtiger Satz, wenn es um Themen wie eine geringe Wahlbeteiligung, die sozial ungleiche Repräsentation von Wählerinteressen oder intransparente politische Entscheidungen von Expertengremien geht. Das gilt auch für Demokratien wie Deutschland und Japan.

Angesichts verbreiteter Politikverdrossenheit wird nach zusätzlichen Möglichkeiten für Bürgerinnen und Bürger, ihre Meinung in politische Entscheidungen mit einbringen zu können, gerufen. Politik und Wissenschaft entwickeln dafür immer neue Beteiligungsverfahren. Viel versprechende Instrumente der Beteiligung, die in Deutschland und in Japan angewendet werden, sind Diskussionsverfahren bzw. institutionalisierte Bürgerdialoge – z.B. „Bürgerforen“ oder „mini-publics“. Die Politik lädt dabei Bürgerinnen und Bürger ein, zu ausgewählten Themen in Gruppendiskussionen miteinander ins Gespräch zu kommen, Meinungen auszutauschen und optimale Lösungsvorschläge für die Politik zu erarbeiten.

Aber sind diese Bürgerdialoge ein Mittel gegen die Demokratiekrise? Was sind aus japanisch-deutscher Perspektive die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen solcher institutionalisierten Partizipationsformen? Können sie tatsächlich dazu beitragen, dass die Politik die Meinungen von Bürgerinnen und Bürgern stärker berücksichtigt? Sind der hohe Organisations- und Zeitaufwand gerechtfertigt, um die Beteiligten Lösungsvorschläge erarbeiten zu lassen, die für die Politik nicht verbindlich sind?

Japanische und deutsche Expertinnen und Experten tauschen sich über Chancen und Hindernisse von Beteiligungsinstrumenten, insbesondere Diskussionsverfahren aus. Darüber hinaus diskutieren sie anhand deutscher und japanischer Erfahrungen, was Demokratien tatsächlich benötigen, um ihrem Auftrag gerecht zu werden, den Willen des Volkes zu repräsentieren. weniger

China und der russische Einmarsch in die Ukraine  |  Online-Podiumsgespräch  | Dienstag, 1.3.2022, 18.30–20 Uhr
Mit der russischen Invasion in der Ukraine sind die Fundamente der bestehenden Weltordnung erschüttert worden. Die Veranstaltung befasst sich mit der Frage, welche Rolle China in diesem Zusammenhang spielt und welche Konsequenzen sich hieraus für Chinas Aufstellung in der Weltgemeinschaft ergeben. Wie stellt sich China zu seinem Belt & Road-Partner Ukraine? Wie positioniert sich China in dem sich verschärfenden Konflikt zwischen den USA und Russland? Ist die Ukraine-Aggression eine Blaupause für Chinas Vorgehen gegenüber Taiwan? Kann Russland westliche Sanktionen durch eine Intensivierung der Wirtschaftsbeziehungen unterlaufen, oder begibt Russland sich in Abhängigkeit von China? Welche Zukunft hat die schienengebundene Neue Seidenstraße und der Duisburger „Hauptbahnhof“?

Abstract: This presentation discusses the boundaries, establishment, internal structures, governance, and recent trends of the East Asian migration region. It gives an overview of international migration and its development in East Asia from a macro-perspective. Concerning the type of migration, it examines primarily labor migration, which is not only the most important type of migration in the region but also the most important issue in public and political debates about immigration in East Asia. The analysis will focus on Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan as the three largest immigration economies in the region, which have kept immigration under strict control despite the huge potential for intraregional migration. It will contrast their cases with those of Malaysia and Thailand as the two East Asian countries with the largest immigration movements that are much less able to control immigration originating from other countries of the East Asian migration region.
The regional context and its intraregional migration potential are crucial factors for fully understanding immigration policy in nation-states in East Asia. However, a comparison of Northeast Asian and Southeast Asian cases shows that the regional embeddedness does not fully determine national immigration policy. Especially in the case of the East Asia migration region, striking differences exist between the three Northeast Asian cases – Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan – and the two Southeast Asian cases – Malaysia and Thailand – in their immigration policy and the size of immigration movements.

The Persistent Appeal of Intellectual History in China: A Preliminary Observation/ Explanation  |  Wed, Dec. 8, 2021, 18–20 h  | Hybrid Lecture Event

Abstract:
In stark contrast to its apparent decline in the post-war West, intellectual history has been a prominent school in China’s historical circles over the same period. And, thanks to the exemplary works by acclaimed historians, it indeed has gained more vigor and luster in more recent decades. From a comparative and historical perspective, Edward Wang will offer an explanation for this interesting phenomenon. Drawing on examples in both Chinese history and historiography, he argues that the primacy of intellectual history at once reflects and enhances an entrenched tradition, or the practices of “intellectual fundamentalism,” for the educated class in China to deal with a crisis by seeking an intellectual/cultural renovation. weniger

Can Unification be achieved on the Korean Peninsula?  |  Mon, Nov. 29, 2021, 15–17.45 h |  Hybrid workshop
The Embassy of the Republic of Korea, Bonn Office will convene a hydride sem­inar on 29 November 2021 (Monday) from 15:00 to 17:45 h dealing with denuclearization and the establishment of peace on the Korean Peninsula at Wissenschaftsz­entrum Bonn. Researchers from the Korea Institute for National Unification (KINU), outstanding scholars from leading uni­versities in Germany and Belgium, and representatives from the media will discuss the matter.

It will focus on the following issues: how do the Korean people feel about unification? How do academics in Germany view the South Korean government’s policy towards North Korea? With the intensifying competition between the US and China, what role can powerful players – such as the EU, the US, and China – play for the sake of North-South reconciliation and bringing lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula? Could the end-of-war declaration recently proposed by South Korean President Moon Jae-in be the key to establishing a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula?

We would like to cordially invite all interested people to attend the seminar online and hope that you may gain an even deeper understanding of the issue of Korean unifica­tion and its meaning for Northeast Asia and, indeed, the international landscape.

Jilin University – IN-EAST Online Workshop took place on July 28, 2021
Especially when times are difficult and conflicts become more intense, it is important to intensify the dialogue and exchange views on the critical issues in particular. Scientists from IN-EAST and their partner university Jilin Daxue in Changchun, PR China, do this regularly. In this spirit, a digital workshop was held on July 28, 2021, dedicated to the trilateral relationship of China, Europe, and the United States. Among other things, it became clear that it is essential for Europe to maintain an independent role in order to represent its distinct interests and to counteract further escalations.

Präsentation beim Plakatwettbewerb von Studenten der Universitäten Fukuoka und Duisburg-Essen: Werbung für Reisen in das jeweils andere Land
2021 jährt sich die Aufnahme diplomatischer Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und Japan zum 160. Mal. Unterstützt durch die Staatskanzlei des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen trafen sich am 22.7.2021 aus diesem Anlass Studierende der Universitäten Fukuoka und Duisburg-Essen, um die Beiträge zu einem ungewöhnlichen Wettbewerb zu präsentieren. Die Aufgabenstellung lautete: Wähle einen beliebigen Zeitraum der letzten 160 Jahre und überzeuge die Zeitgenossen mit einer Werbung, ins andere Land zu reisen.
Die japanischen Beiträge luden u.a. in das Deutschland zur Zeit der Gründung der Firma Steiff 1880, zur Osterparade der Sorben 1900, ins Berlin der Olympischen Spiele 1936 und des Mauerfalls, sowie zur Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 1974 nach München ein. Deutsches Essen, bayerische Volkstrachten und das Schloss Neuschwanstein fungierten als zentrale Argumente in zahlreichen Projekten, aber Oktoberfest und Bier wirkten – wenig überraschend – ebenfalls überzeugend.
Die Studierenden des IN-EAST wiederum versuchten Zeitgenossen mit Werbekampagnen ins Kyoto und auf die Insel Okinawa der 1880er Jahre zu locken. Ein Plakat war für das Deutschland der späten 1930er vorgesehen und sollte den „Achsenpartner Japan“ als Reiseziel attraktiv machen. Der zeitgleich zur Präsentation beginnenden Olympiade ist es wohl mit geschuldet, dass drei Kampagnen ins olympische Tokyo des Jahres 1964 einluden und dort besonders mit dem neuen Schnellzug Shinkansen warben, ganz im Sinne des Slogans „Ruck-zug durch das Land“.
Da zu einem Wettbewerb auch eine Jury gehört, hatte Prof. Axel Klein, Initiator der Veranstaltung, zwei professionelle Werbetreibende aus Berlin eingeladen, die Kampagnen zu kommentieren. Das Feedback der Jury auf die Kampagnen war jedoch so positiv, dass Axel Klein danach die Sorge äußerte, einige der Studierenden an die Werbebranche zu verlieren.
Dank der Unterstützung durch die Staatskanzlei des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen konnten den Teilnehmenden als Belohnung für Ihre Kreativität und die Beschäftigung mit der bilateralen Geschichte landestypische Lebensmittel überreicht werden. Bier war nicht darunter.

NOlympia? Die Spiele in Tokyo und was von ihnen übrig bleibt  |  Freitag, 11. Juni 2021, 16–17.30 Uhr  |  Online-Veranstaltung
Die Olympiade und ihre Schwester, die Paralympiade, stehen unter keinem guten Stern. Die Pandemie hat 2020 IOC, IPC und japanische Regierung mit großen Unsicherheiten konfrontiert und nach langem Abwägen zu einer Verschiebung der Spiele um ein Jahr in den Juli 2021 bewogen. Dadurch sind die Sorgenfalten der Organisierenden jedoch nicht kleiner geworden. Auch diesen Sommer wird es unmöglich sein, „normale“ Spiele zu feiern. Ausländische Besuchende werden kaum einreisen können, wie viele Menschen überhaupt den Wettkämpfen an den Sportstätten beiwohnen dürfen, ist unklar. Selbst die Frage, ob Olympia nicht doch abgesagt werden sollte, gilt für viele im Gastgeberland noch als unbeantwortet. Eine Mehrheit der Menschen in Japan spricht sich für eine Absage aus. Was bleibt also von diesem größten Sportfest der Welt, das als friedliches und fröhliches Zusammenkommen von Athleten aller Länder gefeiert werden will?

Der diesjährige Ostasientag des IN-EAST beschäftigt sich mit diesen und anderen Fragen zu Olympia in Tokyo. Eingeladen sind Gäste, die nicht nur im Austragungsort leben, sondern auch aus verschiedenen Perspektiven über das Mega-Event und sein Gastgeberland sprechen können:

Katharina Bauernschmidt

Auftaktworkshop am 9.3.2021 mit den Projektbeteiligten – Gesellschaftspolitisch-ökonomische Begleitforschung zur „Neuen Seidenstraße“
In ihrer Funktion als faktischer Hauptbahnhof der „Neuen Seidenstraße“ in Europa besteht seitens der Stadt Duisburg und der Region ein großes Interesse an der Analyse der ökonomischen und gesellschaftlichen Einflüsse der chinesischen Belt-and-Road-Initiative. Gefördert durch das Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Innovation, Digitalisierung und Energie NRW, die Stadt Duisburg, die Sparkasse-Duisburg-Stiftung, die Volksbank Rhein-Ruhr und die Business Metropole Ruhr GmbH übernahmen diese Aufgabe die China-Experten des IN-EAST, Prof. Dr. Thomas Heberer, Prof. Dr. Dr. Nele Noesselt und Prof. Dr. Markus Taube.

Auf dem aufgrund der Corona-Pandemie als Videokonferenz abgehaltenen Kick-off-Workshop diskutierten über 20 Wissenschaftler, Stakeholder und Förderer aus Stadt und Region über die geplante Studie, deren Konzeption und Durchführung. Seitens der Stadt Duisburg betonten Wirtschaftsdezernent Andree Hack, der China-Beauftragte Johannes Pflug und die Vertreterin des Wirtschaftsministeriums NRW Dr. Kathrin Bischoff die rasch zunehmende Bedeutung der Kooperation mit China über die „Neue Seidenstraße“. Eine Analyse der Auswirkungen sei auch angesichts der jüngsten Konflikte mit China von großer Bedeutung.

Zi Wang: The Discursive Construction of Hierarchy in Japanese Society: An Ethnographic Study of Secondary School Clubs. DeGruyter, 2020.

Registration required:
https://www.japan.uni-muenchen.de/veranstaltungen/index.html

Seniority-based hierarchy (jouge kankei) is omnipresent in Japanese group dynamics. How one comports depends on one’s status and position vis-à-vis others. Yet, despite its prevalence, extant literature on contemporary Japanese society offers little explanations as to how and where individuals growing up in Japan acquire such social knowledge on a collective scale, nor the nature and characteristics of this hierarchy.
This book provides an ethnographic account on the social construction of hierarchy to address the afore-mentioned questions. Set in the critical adolescent years of growing up, it examines how jouge kankei as an enduring feature of Japanese social life is created and reproduced among secondary school students. It shows the ways in which students in school club activities use language and a range of discursive practices to enact, legitimise, and transmit jouge kankei. Although rigid and conservative in appearance, findings suggest that jouge kankei may also have an egalitarian role to play in Japanese society. In addition, this book presentation also covers topics such as doing research in Japanese school contexts, as well as implications of findings for secondary school education in Japan.

Zi Wang is a postdoctoral fellow and co-investigator of the research project Language, migration and happiness in Germany, based at the University of Duisburg-Essen. He received his PhD in sociology and Asian Studies in 2018 and has since held visiting fellowships/lectureships in France (Sciences Po Paris and Sciences Po Lille), Italy (Ca’ Foscari Venice), Japan (Waseda University, Tokyo) and Turkey (Altinbas University, Istanbul). His most recent research and publication activities span multiple fields such as discourse, education, migration and well-being studies. These include the monographs The Role of Language in the Well-Being of Migrants (Routledge, forthcoming) and The Discursive Construction of Hierarchy in Japan (De Gruyter, 2020). Zi Wang’s works are funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG Research Grant, 2018–2021) and the European Commission (Marie Curie Individual Fellowship, 2021–2023). weniger

The Business Reinvention of Japan: How Japanese companies have responded to the rise of China and the globalization of supply chains  |  Wed, Jan. 20, 2021, 18–19.30 h
Moderation: Karen Shire

Research Forum Guest Lecture (co-organized with AREA Ruhr) – Online Meeting –

Ulrike Schaede is Professor of Japanese Business at the University of California, San Diego, School of Global Policy and Strategy. Her work focuses on Japan’s changing corporate strategies, including business culture, employment practices, and corporate governance. She is the author of The Business Reinvention of Japan: How to Make Sense of the New Japan (Stanford University Press, 2020).

This lecture discusses how Japan’s industrial architecture has changed over the 20 years, and how Japan’s leading companies are now re-emerging as major players in the new digital economy and digital manufacturing. They are reinventing by moving upstream into advanced components and materials, and building new innovation capabilities to compete in connectivity, sensoring, AI, and big data. Many Japanese companies now occupy leading market shares in deep-tech input components, and in the aggregate, these pole positions not only add up into not only a sizable presence but also make Japan the technology anchor in many global product supply chains. This discussion looks at how this business reinvention has occurred, and in what ways Japan’s societal preferences and business norms that focus on stability have affected the process.

Due to public health measures and travel restrictions during the Covid-19 crisis the IN-EAST Research Forum is planned as a webinar, held as a video conference, to which all members and students of the IN-EAST will be invited by E-mail including instructions for online access.
Students and colleagues of all faculties and partner institutions are welcome to (virtually) join the lectures and participate in the discussions, they are kindly asked to register by the following link:

Europa und China im Vergleich – Podiumsgespräch von Thomas Heberer und Yu Zhang. Moderation: Nora Frisch  |  Freitag, 27. November 2020, 17.15–18.45 Uhr. Online-Veranstaltung
Eine Frage, zwei Perspektiven: Prof. Thomas Heberer und die Präsidentin der Gesellschaft für Deutsch-Chinesischen Kulturaustausch Prof. Yu Zhang beleuchten den Begriff der Freiheit vor den Aspekten der Menschenrechte, der Moral und des gesellschaftlichen Vertrauens in den Staat und die Mitbürger.
Im aktuellen Tagesgeschehen ist gerade das Thema Freiheit besonders in den Fokus gerückt: Hierzulande gehen die Leute auf die Straße, um gegen die Beschränkung ihrer Freiheit zu demonstrieren, in China hingegen hat eine massive Freiheitsbeschränkung zu einer (angeblich) kompletten Virenfreiheit geführt. Wer ist nun also wirklich frei? Angesichts der zunehmenden Kontrolle des chinesischen Staates durch Überwachungs- und Disziplinierungssysteme mutet diese Frage hierzulande vielleicht merkwürdig an. Doch ist nicht Deutschland zuweilen von den Idealen der „Freiheit“ so gefesselt, dass wiederum die Handlungsfreiheit darunter leidet?

Die Veranstaltung wird organisiert vom Konfuzius-Institut an der Universität Heidelberg und dem Drachenhaus-Verlag. Sie findet online über die Plattform Zoom statt. Um teilnehmen zu können, melden Sie sich bitte an: info@drachenhaus-verlag.com

Yu Zhang lebt seit 1992 in Berlin. Sie ist Unternehmerin, Gastprofessorin, Buchautorin, Philanthropin und gründete nach ihrem Studium der Publizistik und Kommunikationswissenschaft sowie Japanologie an der FU Berlin die Unternehmensberatung China Communications Consulting.

Thomas Heberer ist Senior-Professor für Politik und Gesellschaft Chinas am IN-EAST. Seit 2009 ist er Co-Direktor des Konfuzius-Instituts Metropole Ruhr, Duisburg und betreut den Programmteil Politik und Gesellschaft Chinas.

Nora Frisch studierte Sinologie und Musikwissenschaften in Wien, Peking, Taipei und Heidelberg. 2010 gründete sie den Drachenhaus-Verlag und verlegt seither chinabezogene Publikationen. Mit ihren Publikationen möchte sie China in allen Facetten Kindern, Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen wissenschaftlich fundiert und zugleich spannend und vielseitig dargestellt näherbringen. weniger

Japanese Economy and Society Diversification as Stratification. Work-Style Reform and its Consequences on Inequality in Japan  |  Fri, Nov. 20, 2020, 12.30–14 h JST = 4.30–6 h a.m. MEZ (!)  
Invitation by the French Research Institute on Japan (IFRJ) at Maison Franco-Japonaise (MFJ), Tokyo.
Jun Imai is Professor at Department of Sociology, Sophia University, Tokyo. From 2006 until 2009 he was Postdoctoral Researcher at the IN-EAST.

Abstract
The standard employment centrism shapes the direction of stratification in Japan. In this presentation, I will pick up the recent developments of labor management in Japan including work-style reform. Diversification of work-style is one of the major initiatives of the reform, which is supposed to narrow the gap between regular and non-regular employment as well as to allow workers to work more flexibly in order to solve the problems of work-life balance. Under such circumstances, Japanese companies began to segment regular employment into various types of “restricted” regular workers (gentei seishain), in much the same way as they found ippanshoku and >jun-sogoshoku tracks in the 1980s and the 1990s. They are called “restricted” since they do not accept unlimited flexibilities required by employers with regard to the scope of job rotation and regional transfer and working time that core regular workers need to accept. Some regular workers change their track from core regular to restricted regular due to their, for instance, care needs at home, or non-regular workers would be hired in this career track as the revised Labor Contract Law (in effect since 2013) mandates companies to secure unlimited term contract to the non-regular workers with long-enough tenure. The establishment of these career tracks reveals that Japanese companies (and even workers) see the ability to accept flexibilities of working time, (functional and regional) mobilities within a firm as important but tacit, taken-for-granted criteria of evaluating their employees, which have been the central features of the regular employment. The fact that these new tracks are associated to inferior wages and promotion prospect means that the diversification is in fact the stratification of workers based on the extent of worker commitment to the flexibilties.

European Union - Japan Economic Partnership Agreement and beyond. Research Workshop, Nov. 10, 2020, 9–11.30 h, and Symposium, Nov. 19, 2020, 9–11 h. Digital Conference via ZOOM
The EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) entered into force on 1 February 2019. After some time has lapsed, the conference will shed light on the first experiences and on outlining future-oriented perspectives for deepening the bilateral economic cooperation between Japan and the EU further. One issue for the discussion will be what impact the current COVID-19 pandemic may have.
The conference is organised by the Institute of East Asian Studies IN-EAST at the University of Duisburg-Essen with support from the Consulate General of Japan in Düsseldorf and other partners. It is split between a more academically focused workshop on November 10 and a symposium for a wider audience on November 19.
The Research Workshop will take up a number of analytical aspects. It is divided into two sections, with contributions from renowned experts. Part 1 will deal with analytical issues of the bilateral EPA itself. Part 2 will cover future options. As the time is limited, this part will focus on one aspect in particular, namely the potential of the EU-Japan Partnership on Sustainable Connectivity and Quality Infrastructure signed in September 2019. Key take away-messages of the workshop will be used as input for the symposium.
The Symposium shall be concerned with a stock-taking of the EU-Japan EPA and outlining future options. The core contribution will be a panel discussion with renowned representatives of stakeholders in government and business. Two eminent scholars will provide focussed input statements, and the results of the preceding research workshop will be introduced.

Die US-Wahlen sind vorbei (und vielleicht noch lange nicht entschieden). Die Auswirkungen auf unsere Welt, auf Ostasien, sind kaum zu unterschätzen. Das Institut für Ostasienwissenschaften IN-EAST möchte Sie zu einer virtuellen Round-Table-Diskussion mit Expert*innen der Universität Duisburg-Essen einladen.
Welche Implikationen hat das Ergebnis der US-Präsidentschaftswahlen für die Region Ostasien? Sind politische und geostrategische Standortneubestimmungen zu erwarten? Was bedeutet der Ausgang der Wahlen in den USA für den Wirtschaftskrieg zwischen China und Amerika? Können wir auf eine Deeskalation hoffen? Wie könnten sich die USA in Zukunft in regionalen Sicherheitskonflikten positionieren? Und – was bedeutet dies für Europa?

Es diskutieren:
Barbara Buchenau, Professorin für Nordamerika Studien
Nele Noesselt, Professorin für Politik Ostasiens
Karen Shire, Professorin für Gesellschaft Japans
Markus Taube, Professor für Ostasienwirtschaft/China

Termin: Montag, den 9.11.2020 von 18.30 bis 20.00

Dunhuang as Sacred Space: On the History and Formation of a Major Religious Site in the Eastern Central Asia  |  Thu, July 2, 2020, 4.00–5.30 h s.t.  |  Zoom conference
Dr. Henrik Sørensen is Research Coordinator at the BuddhistRoad Project at the Center for Religious Sstudies (CERES), Ruhr University Bochum.

Dr. Henrik H. Sørensen was trained in the University of Copenhagen in the Sinological and East Asian Arts departments (1978–1987), where he taught until 1994. He received his Ph.D. in 1988. From 1996 to 1998 he had a senior-research position at the National Museum (East Asian Department). He was a KHK Fellow in RUB 2011–2012, and has worked on the BuddhistRoad Project at CERES, RUB since 2017. His research interests are fairly broad and covers East Asian Buddhism broadly with focus on Esoteric Buddhism, Buddhist material culture and Buddhist arcana in general. His approach to Buddhist studies is polyvalent and he seeks to transcend traditional scholarly boundaries in order to arrive at new insights.

This lecture is meant to discuss the important Buddhist site of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang located in the westernmost Gansu province of China as a ‘sacred space.’ This means understanding it as a consciously organised locus which continued to function as a major site for intercultural Buddhist practice for more than a millennium covering a timespan from the late 4th to the 14th century. The presentation will focus on what constitutes a ‘sacred space’ by identifying those structural, building blocks required for such a place to come together, for its operation, maintenance and other fundamental requirements.

The Rise of East Asia and the Clash of Capitalisms  |  Wed, July 1, 2020, 10–12 h s.t.  |  Online Forum
Thomas Kalinowski is Professor at the Graduate School of International Studies, Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Korea. He holds a PhD in Political Science from Free University Berlin. He teaches International Political Economy, Comparative Political Economy, International Organizations, and Sustainable Development. His recent research has focused on bringing the Comparative Capitalist perspective into the investigation of international cooperation and conflict. His key contribution to the study of Comparative Capitalism has been to help overcome the euro-centric perspective within Comparative Political Economy by systematically including East Asia in the field.

This Presentation is based on my new book Why International Cooperation Is Failing. How the Clash of Capitalisms Undermines the Regulation of Finance. In the book I am explaining the failures of international economic and financial cooperation in the G20 since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008/09. In this presentation I will focus on the role of East Asia in this failure. I argue that East Asia’s preferences for international cooperation (or non-cooperation) can be best understood by investigating the characteristics and “defects” of the East Asian state-led and export-oriented model of capitalism.

The Kwangju Uprising 1980 and the Politics of Memory in South Korea  |  Wed, June 24, 2020, 10–12 h s.t.  |  Online Forum
Prof. Hannes Mosler holds the Chair of Social Sciences of East Asia – Korea at the IN-EAST.

Abstract
Together with the case of divided Germany, the division of the Korean peninsula was a key manifestation of the Cold War that began at the close of World War II in the mid-1940s and officially ended after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, German reunification, and the demise of the Soviet Union. However, the Korean peninsula remains divided, and the Cold War continues through other means. Besides the decades-old standoff between the two Koreas, the continuing polarization within South Korea between the progressives and the conservatives represents this phenomenon of a Cold War that still simmers. Even the Kwangju Uprising (Democracy Movement) – one of the most crucial turning points in South Korea’s history of democracy – is still not fully accounted for its causes and consequences, and remains contested by conservative forces 40 years after the event occurred. While there is a rich body of research on the May 18 Kwangju Democracy Movement including the topic of memory politics, presidential commemorative speeches so far have been neglected despite the fact that they represent an important mode of political communication in modern societies regarding the production of authoritative remembrance narratives. Against this backdrop, this talk will first shortly reiterate the uprising's meaning for democracy in South Korea, then briefly introduce the hegemonic-discourse battle regarding its political remembrance, and finally present the analysis of memorial addresses by South Korean presidents between 1993 and 2019.

Abstract
This paper proposes that imported capital goods, which embody skill-complementary technologies, can encourage human capital accumulation and migration in China. There are three main findings.
Firstly, the regional difference in capital goods imports can explain 27 percent of the regional difference in college share between 2000 and 2010. Secondly, this paper quantifies the importance of the three channels, namely skill acquisition of local stayers, immigration of skilled workers, and emigration of skilled workers, through which capital goods imports increase college share. I find that the first channel is the most important. Thirdly, I trace out the responses of skill supply to the demand shift. I find that capital goods imports increase college wage premium and the effect attenuates over time with the increase in skill supply.

Fifth lecture of Thomas Heberer’s Lecture Series Theory-based Research and Fieldwork. Social Actors, Strategic Behavior, and the Logic of the Chinese Party State.

This lecture was postponed from December 12, 2019

Prof. Thomas Heberer has been involved with China in academic and professional capacity the past 30 years and he has, during this time, accumulated a wealth of research experience. In five individual lectures during the winter term 2019/20, he will share his profound knowledge about research on and fieldwork in China with the audience.
The session topics cover a number of different pressing issues faced by China and the world and they focus on fieldwork methods employed and research results gained by Prof. Heberer throughout his work.

Globalization and Corporate Elites in South Korea: Education and Career Mobility  |  Wed, Jan. 22, 2020, 16–18 h  |  Room LE 736, Forsthausweg, Campus Duisburg
Abstract
Mainstream globalization literature has maintained that a rapidly globalizing economy and neo-liberal reforms will lead to the emergence of a transnational business elite. The South Korean economy has implemented neo-liberal policies and reforms since the Asian financial crisis and has rapidly integrated into the global economy; these developments have occurred simultaneously with the globalization and growth of the Korean economy. Have these transitions led to the transnationalization of the corporate elite in South Korea? Using life-course data for top Korean managers from the top 100 industrial enterprises in 2010 and 2015, including information on educational background, career and mobility patterns, and the share of globally recruited top managers, we explore the evidence for the emergence of a transnational business elite in Korea. Our analysis indicates that nationally recruited company men – not global job- and company-hoppers – are still predominant in the South Korean economy.

Abstract
The talk builds on a critique of economic sociology as methodologically nationalistic, and of the new sociology of markets as too general for an analysis of labour markets, to build an economic sociological theory of migration markets. Drawing on the authors’ own research on cross-border labour markets emerging through the regionalization of Japanese production organizations, and a re-analysis of anthropological research on migration infrastructures in the Asia Pacific, the role of intermediaries in making and ordering migration markets is highlighted. The talk ends by introducing a research agenda for studying labour mobility in transnational comparison.

International Careers in Korea | Wed, Jan 15, 2020, 16–18 h | Room LE 736, Forsthausweg, Campus Duisburg
Abstract
Due to its economic development, Korea has experienced an increasing inflow of foreigners. A more recent trend is that more and more highly skilled professionals are entering Korea. In response to declining demography and globalization pressures, Korean government and companies are seeking to recruit foreign talent. While they are somewhat successful in recruiting foreign talent, they face more difficulties in retaining them. Drawing from the literature and my own personal experience, I will provide an overview of opportunities and challenges of international careers for highly skilled foreigners in Korea.

Korea-Japan Trade Dispute – when Economic Relations are Disturbed by Politicians  |  Wed, Dec 18, 2019, 16–18 h  |  Room LE 736, Forsthausweg, Campus Duisburg
Abstract
Unsolved history issue between the two countries, which is very political and diplomatic, has been developed into trade dispute and causing tension in the region. Japan removed South Korea from its so-called “white-list” for export and South Korea reacted by removing Japan from Korea’s white list, filing a complaint with the WTO against Japan for imposing export control, and also announced the termination of GISOMIA. The issue is influencing not only the performance of companies and economy of both countries, but also influencing the regional security issues.

Die Schlaglichter, die behandelt werden, beinhalten u.a. die Amtsführung des Präsidenten („I can be the most presidential person ever, other than possibly the great Abe Lincoln, alright?“), seine Kommunikationsweise und „colorful language“, den politisierten Obersten Gerichtshof, und das umstrittene Politikfeld der Krankenversicherung, in dem Herr Trump zu Beginn seiner Amtszeit Reformen versprochen hatte „that expand choice, increase access, lower costs, and at the same time provide better health care.“
Wir werden den Präsidenten selbst zu Wort kommen lassen, in Video-Clips und einigen seiner Tweets, um so weitere Puzzlestücke zu Ihrem Bild von Donald J. Trump und dem gegenwärtigen Stand der Dinge in „U.S. politics“ anzubieten.

New Silk Road, New World Order? Regional and Global Dynamics of China’s Connectivity Initiative

China’s investment along the New Silk Road corridors has refueled old and new threat perceptions. Neorealist scholars predict a substitution of the liberal international order by a “Chinese” model of development. This debate, however, is often based on a rather superficial reading and a general misunderstanding of the drivers and triggers of China’s BRI. Bringing together leading international scholars from the fields of economics and political science, the workshop will assess the invisible dimensions of China’s BRI by opening the black box of China’s political and economic domestic system settings. It will pay special attention to the perspectives on China’s BRI from Eastern and Central Europe and also discuss potential challenges as well as cooperation opportunities for Europe in the next decades to come.

Abstract
Over the past half-century, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Association of Shinto Shrines (Jinja Honcho) have been engaged in collaborative efforts to “recover” or “restore” what was destroyed by the process of imperialist secularization during the Allied Occupation of Japan. Since the disaster years (1995/2011), the religio-political coalition has grown to include the Japan Conference (Nippon Kaigi), established in 1997, which has mobilized a broader base of support from other organized religions, including established Buddhist institutions and various New Religions. Over the past two decades, LDP Diet members and prime ministers have increased their support for their shared political agenda, including legislation to restore patriotic education, promotion of Yasukuni Shrine, and constitutional revision. Both religious and secular groups have emerged in opposition to these neonationalistic initiatives in an attempt to preserve the postwar gains in democratic institutions and prevent the erosion of individual rights.

Momoyo Hüstebeck: Deliberative Democracy in Japan against the Backdrop of Democratic Challenges  |  Dec. 4, 2019, 4–6 pm  |  Campus Ruhr University, Building UNI 134, Room 2.06
Abstract
Like other representative democracies, Japan has been facing a partial crisis of its political system. Democratic challenges have eroded democratic norms such as equality, representation, political accountability and legitimacy. The voter-turnouts for the last Lower House elections, for instance, have been at a record low. They express the decreasing trust in the political elites and the political abstinence of major parts of the society. To counteract the partial crisis of democracy, Japanese national and local governments have implemented new instruments of citizen participation, especially deliberations.
Deliberations are here defined as top-down implemented participatory forums where randomly selected citizens discuss among each other given political topics. After exchanging their arguments and forming their opinions, the participants submit their recommendations for a policy to the government.
This talk aims at scrutinizing the impact of deliberative policy-making processes on the quality of Japanese representative democracy. Therefore, theoretical concepts which deal with the quality of democracy and with deliberations (Diamond and Morlino 2005; Smith 2009) are applied. Two deliberative methods, namely mini-publics and a deliberative poll, serve as cases for evaluating qualitatively the democratic impact. Local mini-publics (shimin tôgikai) have been the most frequently implemented deliberative method in Japan. Randomly selected citizens are asked to develop recommendations for a local city planning. The first deliberative poll (tôrongata yoronchôsa) at the national level was held in Japan in 2012 under the impression of 3/11. A random sample of 285 citizens deliberated national energy strategies until the year 2030. By evaluating these cases conceptually, the presentation highlights the merits and the challenges of improving the quality of a representative democracy.

Why does Corruption Appear to be “Unavoidable”? – Tacit Rationality and the Reinforcement of Informal Institutions in China.  |  Nov. 28, 2019, 10.30–12 h  |  Room E21B-G002
Abstract
This study aims at disentangling an empirical puzzle that confronts many places where corruption is pervasive and routinised: Why does corruption – especially those in transaction forms – appear to be “unavoidable”? Building upon my research on China case, I argue that when corruption becomes an expected action that goes beyond individual choice, “unavoidable” does not signify legally-identified corruption per se, but a series of informal institutions which do not exclude corruption. Therefore, the crux of understanding why people consciously break or bypass formal institutions and participate in corrupt practices is to explain why certain informal patterns of behaviour that follow a similar operative logic with corruption constantly get reinforced while formally-coded rules appear to be merely
nominal. Ultimately, behind the empirical puzzle of “unavoidable” corruption lies the theoretical inquiry that what determines the effectiveness of an institution, which entails a frame that can link the analysis of individual decision-making process to the large social contextual structure.

China Migrant – Fotografien und Kurzfilme von Daniel Traub. Eröffnung: Mittwoch, 6. Nov. 2019, 18 Uhr im Gebäude LE, 7. Stock, der Künstler ist anwesend
Geöffnet: Mo–Fr, 9–17 Uhr, Eintritt frei
Laufzeit der Ausstellung bis März 2020

Die Ausstellung dokumentiert die gesellschaftlichen, ökonomischen und kulturellen Veränderungen und Umbrüche, die seit Beginn der Öffnungs- und Reformpolitik in der Volksrepublik China durch Arbeitsmigration sichtbar geworden sind. Im Mittelpunkt steht das dokumentarische Werk des chinesisch-amerikanischen Fotografen und Filmemachers Daniel Traub, der die Lebensbedingungen von Arbeitsmigrant_­innen in China über einen Zeitraum von zwei Jahrzehnten mit seiner Kamera eingefangen hat. Die Ausstellung versammelt Werke aus einzelnen Fotoserien und Dokumentarfilmprojekten des Künstlers, um eine facettenreiche Gesamtschau auf interne und externe Migration in China zu bieten.
Porträt-, Stadt- und Land(schafts)aufnahmen aus der Fotoserie China Migrant (2005–2007) beleuchten vielfältige Aspekte der Binnenmigration von Wanderarbeiter_innen innerhalb Chinas, darunter die Situation in den ostchinesischen Küstenstädten sowie in den Rand- und Übergangszonen zwischen ländlichem und städtischem Raum. In Kombination mit eigenen Kurzfilmen des Künstlers dokumentiert das kollaborative Fotoprojekt Little North Road (2009–2014) die afrikanische ­Ar­beits­mi­gra­tion in der aufstrebenden Wirtschaftsmetropole Guang­zhou: Es zeigt von chinesischen Tourismusfotograf_innen als Wanderarbeiter_innen aufgenommene Porträts afrikanischer Arbeitsmigrant_innen (einschließlich Berufs- und Privatreisender) und präsentiert damit eine Art Passagenwerk zwischen Binnenmigration und externer Migration. Der Kurzfilm Phoenix: Xu Bing (2013) nähert sich dem Thema von einer künstlerisch-kritischen Perspektive, er setzt der ökonomischen Ausbeutung wandernder Bauarbeiter_innen ein symbolisches Mahnmal.
Ziel der Ausstellung ist es, anhand des foto- und filmdokumentarischen Werkes des Künstlers Daniel Traub ein umfassendes Bild von Migra­tionsprozessen in der chinesischen Gesellschaft zu vermitteln.

Ausstellungskonzeption:
Birgit Mersmann (Kunstgeschichte, Universität Duisburg-Essen) und Michaela Pelican (Ethnologie, Universität zu Köln) in Zusammenarbeit mit Daniel Traub

Das Institut für Ostasienwissenschaften begleitet die Ausstellung mit wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen zu Migration in Ostasien.

Die Ausstellung wird gefördert durch

The Initial Workshop Travelling Conferences took place at the IN-EAST School of Advanced Studies, October 22, 2019
Travelling Conferences (TCs) are a format designed to promote and foster international exchange about specific current issues. More specifically, given the significant interest in questions of current urban transformation and comparable challenges in many metropolitan regions around the world (e.g. post-industrial transformation, demographic change, urban strategies of climate change mitigation and adaptation, waterfront development) as well as an interest in the ways in which policies, strategies, blueprints for such transformations are exchanged globally (e.g. research on policy diffusion, policy mobility, travelling concepts), this series of TCs aims to combine a theoretical and conceptual approach along with an empirical section on selected current policies. To accomplish this goal, a number of presentations will be given at each conference, supplemented by panel and round-table discussions.

The thematically and structurally similar events will take place in Osaka, Ulsan, Essen and Cincinnati between October 2019 and September 2020. Representatives of the Ruhr region, the University Alliance Ruhr in Germany, which organize the conference series, will be travelling to all five locations accompanied by members from institutions in the partner regions.
In order to prepare the first conferences, German participants convened for an initial meeting at the IN-EAST School of Advanced Studies on October 22, 2019.

Participants:
Dr. Katharina Borgmann, Helmut Demes, Prof. Dr. Florian Freitag, Dr. Letizia Imbres, Prof. Dr. Markus Taube, Alexander von Schweinitz, Prof. Dr. Thorsten Wiechmann

Prof. Werner Pascha und MA-Studentin Hannah Grüttgen nahmen am Deutsch-Koreanischen Forum und Juniorforum 2019 in Berlin teil
Das IN-EAST beim Deutsch-Koreanischen Forum und Juniorforum

Vom 18. bis 22. September 2019 fand in Berlin das Deutsch-Koreanische Forum und das Deutsch-Koreanische Juniorforum statt. Das Forum tagte damit bereits zum 18. Mal, seit 2002, und auch das Juniorforum fand seit 2012 bereits zum 8. Mal statt. Gegründet wurde das DKF als bilaterales Regierungsforum, um gemeinsame Fragen zu diskutieren und Schlussfolgerungen sowie Politikempfehlungen für die deutsche und die südkoreanische Regierung zu entwickeln.
Das IN-EAST war vertreten durch Prof. Dr. Werner Pascha, der bereits seit 2003 regelmäßig am DKF teilnimmt, und im Juniorforum durch Hannah Grüttgen, die im Masterstudiengang Contemporary East Asian Studies seit dem Wintersemester 2018/19 mit den Schwerpunkten Politik und Soziologie Koreas und Chinas am IN-EAST studiert. Werner Pascha referierte im diesjährigen DKF zum Thema der Energie- und Klimapolitik in Deutschland, insbesondere zur Frage einer Energiewende, was durch die grundlegenden Entscheidungen des sog. Klimakabinetts just am dritten Tag des Forums besonders aktuell war. Hannah Grüttgen wurde die besondere Ehre zuteil, gemeinsam mit einem Vertreter der koreanischen Studierenden die Überlegungen des Jugendforums vor dem „Senior“-Forum vortragen zu dürfen. Im Anschluss finden sich ihre Eindrücke von der Veranstaltung.



Das 8. Deutsch-Koreanische Juniorforum – Ein Erfahrungsbericht
Von Hannah Grüttgen

Um das Vorhaben einer Vertiefung der bilateralen Zusammenarbeit zwischen Deutschland und Korea auch bei der jungen Generation zu verwirklichen, findet seit 2012 parallel zum Seniorforum auch das Deutsch-Koreanische Juniorforum statt. Hierbei haben junge Arbeitnehmer, Auszubildende sowie Studenten beider Länder die Möglichkeit, sich miteinander über relevante Themen auszutauschen und ebenfalls Politikempfehlungen an die Regierungen Deutschlands und Koreas zu erarbeiten.
In diesem Jahr fand vor Beginn des Juniorforums auch ein Einführungskurs in Form eines einwöchigen politischen Bildungsprogramms statt, an dem Koreaner wie Deutsche gemeinsam teilnahmen. Dabei standen neben einem Gespräch mit der Deutsch-Koreanischen Parlamentariergruppe auch ein Treffen mit Staatsminister Hendrik Hoppenstedt im Bundeskanzleramt sowie ein Besuch des Auswärtigen Amtes und der Erinnerungsstätte Berliner Mauer an. Schon während des einführenden Programms wurden zahlreiche Fragen gestellt, und die Teilnehmer setzten sich besonders mit dem Thema der deutschen Wiedervereinigung auseinander.
Während des Forums erarbeiteten die Teilnehmer des Juniorforums in fünf Gruppen Politikempfehlungen zu den Themen 1) Digitalisierung und künstliche Intelligenz, 2) Energiepolitik und Klimakrise, 3) Frieden und Wohlstand auf der koreanischen Halbinsel, 4) politische Erinnerung und Vergangenheitsbewältigung und 5) soziale Chancengleichheit. Als Teilnehmerin der Gruppe 3 kann ich sagen, dass über die gesamte Tagungszeit alle Gruppenmitglieder sogar noch in den Pausen und am Abend nach der Hauptarbeitsphase höchst engagiert und angeregt miteinander diskutierten. Dabei war es überaus interessant, die Meinungen der koreanischen Teilnehmer zum Thema Wiedervereinigung und Nordkorea zu erfahren. Auch war es schön zu sehen, wie sehr sich die Teilnehmer unserer Gruppe auf das Thema vorbereitet hatten, wodurch ein konstruktives Arbeiten ermöglicht wurde.
Über die Arbeitsphasen hinaus war das Zusammentreffen und der Austausch mit den Teilnehmern des Seniorforums eine gute Gelegenheit, sich zu vernetzen. Die Möglichkeit der Präsentation unserer erarbeiteten Ergebnisse vor den Fachleuten war ein abschließendes Highlight einer sehr spannenden und lehrreichen Zeit. Die vollzogene Gründung eines Alumninetzwerks wird uns weiterhin die Möglichkeit geben, neu geschlossene Freundschaften zu vertiefen und sich weiter zu vernetzen.
Wer mehr detaillierte Berichte über das Deutsch-Koreanische Juniorforum, die Arbeitsprozesse innerhalb der Gruppen sowie die erarbeiteten Politikempfehlungen erfahren möchte, der findet all diese Informationen auf der offiziellen Website des Forums:

Über Menschen und Nudelsuppen, Buddhismus und Popkultur, Forschung und Poesie – Am 22. Juni 2019 fand der 3. Koreanisch-Redewettbewerb für Studierende in Deutschland statt.
In Anwesenheit von Generalkonsul Dooyoung Lee im Gerhard-Mercator-Haus präsentierten 23 Studierende aus ganz Deutschland ihre Reden zum Thema "Mein Korea". Auf Koreanisch berichteten die Teilnehmer über ihre ganz persönliche Begegnung mit Land, Leuten, Sprache, Kultur und Gesellschaft. Unter den durchweg spannenden und rhetorisch geschliffenen Vorträgen wählte die Jury als Hauptpreisträgerinnen diesmal gleich zwei Rednerinnen von der Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Michaela Poit (1.

Großartig schlug sich auch Louise Krzysko vom IN-EAST der Universität Duisburg-Essen, die in einem frei gehaltenen Vortrag schilderte, wie es ihr gelang, Koreanisch zu meistern und damit einen der Dritten Preise errang. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
Wie immer, wenn es um Korea geht, durfte es an gutem Essen nicht fehlen und so konnten alle Teilnehmer das großzügig von der Botschaft der Republik Korea, Außenstelle Bonn, gesponserte original koreanische Buffet genießen, um gestärkt den Heimweg wieder anzutreten.

Jörn Dosch: Is Asia still Unique? The Continent’s Relevance for Theory-building in Social Sciences  |  Wed, June 12, 2019, 4–6 pm  | Campus Duisburg, Geibelstr. 41, SG 183
Jörn Dosch is Professor for International Politics and Developemt Cooperation at the University of Rostock. His research focus is on East and South East Asia

Abstract
For the past three decades Asia has been one of the most important empirical hunting grounds for theory-building in political science, international relations, political economy and development studies. The “developmental state”, modernisation theory, the concept of collective social orders (“Asian Values”), the idea of illiberal or defect democracies are key inputs to the discourse on nationalism and nation-building, and the notion of soft regionalism all originated against the backdrop of observed phenomena in Asia. But what has happened to these and other Asia-centric approaches in social sciences? Are they still relevant? Or has Asia become a “normal region” that lost its unique and specific relevance as a prime empirical case for academic theorising and the construction of counter-models which challenge Eurocentric worldviews?

The Chinese Bureaucracy in Three Lenses: Weberian, Confucian, and Marchian  |  Wed, June 12, 2019, 10–12 h  |  Room SG 183, Geibelstr. 41, Duisburg
Abstract
The Chinese bureaucracy – with its long history and distinct characteristics – is arguably one salient legacy of the Chinese civilization. In recent decades, it has provided the organizational basis for the leading role of the Chinese state in China’s economic growth and institutional transformation. The Chinese bureaucracy also shows intriguing dualism between high responsiveness and strong inertia and between formal authority and informal institutions. I explore these distinctive features of the Chinese bureaucracy from three lenses: Weber’s comparative-historical approach helps locate the Chinese bureaucracy in a distinct mode of domination; the Confucian lens identifies the cultural sources of bureaucratic behaviors; and James G. March’s image of organized anarchy sheds light on a set of mechanisms that shape the role of the bureaucracy in China’s political dynamics.

Xueguang Zhou is Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in Economic Development, a professor of sociology and a senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford University. His research examines the institutional logic of governance and the rise of the bureaucratic state in China. He is preparing a book manuscript The Institutional Logic of Governance in China: An Organizational Approach that summarizes his decade-long research project on this topic.

The IN-EAST coordination unit is organizing a MA student breakfast  |  Wednesday, May 29, 2019, 9–11 am  |  Room SG 183, Geibelstraße 41, Duisburg …
… an opportunity for MA students of different cohorts, academic staff members and professors to get to know each other and mingle. We believe this is a great chance to foster the internal network between students and researchers and strengthen social and academic ties throughout IN-EAST.

Even if you cannot join us for the whole time, please consider to stop by shortly to say hi!

We will provide coffee and tea and would like to ask you to bring whatever breakfast or snacks you want to eat/have left over at home/etc (bread, fruits, cookies, juice …). Please refrain from bringing anything with powdered sugar – it is terribly hard to clean from the carpet.

If you would like to stop by, please let us know by sending a short email to maceas@in-east.de until Monday, May 27, so we can plan how much coffee and tea we need to prepare.
