SUMMARY:Institutional Origins of Miscalculation in Chinese Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture:  \nInstitutional Origins of Miscalculation in Chinese Foreign Policy \nTyler Jost\, Assistant Professor of Political Science and International and Public Affairs\, Brown University \nWhen is China prone to miscalculate its relative strength or its adversary’s intentions? Since Xi Jinping’s rise to power\, scholars and policymakers are increasingly concerned that erosion of collective leadership in China might lead to foreign policy blunders. This article instead finds that\, historically\, institutional miscalculation in China has stemmed from the relationship between political leaders and their bureaucratic advisers\, rather than political accountability. It introduces a typology of political-bureaucratic relationships\, which I term national security institutions\, and develops a theory specifying that institutions restricting information flow and deliberation with military\, diplomatic\, and intelligence advisers make leaders prone to miscalculations that might have otherwise have been avoided. Two paired comparisons of decision-making under personalist (the 1962 Taiwan Straits Crisis and the 1969 Sino-Soviet Border Conflict) and collectivist (the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese War and 2001 EP-3 incident) dictatorship in China illustrate the theory of institutional miscalculation. \nSpeaker bio: Tyler Jost’s research focuses on national security decision-making\, bureaucratic politics\, and Chinese foreign policy. His current book project examines domestic institutions designed to decide and coordinate national security policy\, such as the U.S. National Security Council. He completed his doctoral degree in the Department of Government at Harvard University and held postdoctoral fellowships in the International Security Program at the Kennedy School of Government\, as well as in the China and the World Program at Columbia University. He completed his undergraduate studies at West Point and served as a military officer with assignments to Afghanistan\, U.S. Cyber Command\, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. \nOrganized by the China and the World Program\, cosponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute.  \nOnline via Zoom. Registration information here.  \n

SUMMARY:Japan’s Multiple Models
DESCRIPTION:Finding broader characterizations ill-fitting\, scholars have often spoken of Japan’ political economy as a sui-generis Japanese model. This workshop proposes that in fact the models that Japan has offered the world are multiple. The “economic miracle” made Japan a key point of reference for planners\, politicians\, and intellectuals on both sides of the Cold War\, as well as in the Global South. But interpretations diverged over what generated such prosperity and what its political import was. Since the collapse of the bubble economy in the early 1990s\, Japan has become a symbol of something else: the fragility of growth. Here\, too\, it has come across as multifaceted. To contemporary observers\, Japan has appeared not only as a cautionary tale but\, increasingly since the 2008 financial crisis\, a template for how to manage secular stagnation. Over three presentations and a follow-up discussion\, we will explore how Japan’s political economy has been variously interpreted and put to use by an array of observers—from American Neocons\, to Bulgarian planners\, to a transpacific clique of free marketeers. \nJennifer Miller\, Assistant Professor of History\, Dartmouth\, wil offer a talk on “The Right Kind of Traditional: U.S. Neoconservative Thought on Japanese Capitalism in the 1970s and 1980s”. \nVictor Petrov\, Assistant Professor\, The University of Tennessee Knoxville\, will offer a talk on “A Forest of Chimneys: Socialist Bulgaria’s Modernisation and the Dream of a ‘Mini-Japan’ 1965-1989”. \nColin Jones\, Adjunct Associate Research Scholar\, Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, Columbia University; Postdoctoral Fellow\, Max Planck Institute for European Legal History\, will offer a talk on “How ‘Structural Impediments’ Were Made: Japan’s Land Problem\, US-Japan Trade Talks\, and the Neoliberal Turn”. \nModerated by: Carol Gluck\, George Sansom Professor of History\, Department of History\, Columbia University \nOnline via Zoom. Please register here.  \nThis event is organized by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University. \n

SUMMARY:“The Korean War through the Prism of the Interrogation Room” - Monica Kim
DESCRIPTION:CKR Book Talk and Korean Studies University Seminar \n“The Korean War through the Prism of the Interrogation Room”\nMonica Kim\, New York University\nFriday\, March 19\, 2021\n4:00 PM \nCo-sponsored by Academy of Korean Studies; Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University; Columbia University Seminar \nRegister here. \nAbstract:\nThrough the interrogation rooms of the Korean War\, this talk demonstrates how the individual human subject became both the terrain and the jus ad bellum for this critical U.S. war of ‘intervention’ in postcolonial Korea. In 1952\, with the US introduction of voluntary POW repatriation proposal at Panmunjom\, the interrogation room and the POW became a flashpoint for an international controversy ultimately about postcolonial sovereignty and political recognition. \nThe ambitions of empire\, revolution and non-alignment converged upon this intimate encounter of military warfare: the interrogator and the interrogated prisoner of war. Which state could supposedly reinvent the most intimate power relation between the colonizer and the colonized\, to transform the relationship between the state and subject into one of liberation\, democracy or freedom? Tracing two generations of people across the Pacific as they navigate multiple kinds of interrogation from the 1940s and 1950s\, this talk lay outs a landscape of interrogation – a dense network of violence\, bureaucracy\, and migration – that breaks apart the usual temporal bounds of the Korean War as a discrete event. \nMonica Kim is Assistant Professor in U.S. and the World History in the Department of History at New York University. Her book\, The Interrogation Rooms of the Korean War: The Untold History (Princeton University Press)\, is a trans-Pacific history of decolonization told through the experiences of two generations of people creating and navigating military interrogation rooms of the Korean War. She has published work in journals such as Critical Asian Studiesand positions: asia critiqueconcerning U.S. empire\, war-making\, and decolonization. She is also a member of the Editorial Collective for Radical History Review. Her research and writing have been supported by fellowships from the Institute for Advanced Study\, the Penn Humanities Forum at University of Pennsylvania\, and the Korea Foundation. \n
