SUMMARY:The Role of History in Early Qing Claims to Rule the Mongols
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: After the death of Ligdan Qan in 1634\, Hong Taiji advanced the claim that he was the legitimate ruler of all Mongols. A common thread among the various arguments he advanced to support this claim was an appeal to historical events and circumstances that in his view illustrated the correctness of the Qing position and the illegitimacy of his enemies. This use of historical references coincided with the first systematic efforts of the emerging Qing state to propagate historical sources in Manchu translation. This talk will review the origins and basis for some of the historical claims made by Hong Taiji regarding the legitimacy of Qing rule over all Mongols\, and how they relate – or do not relate – to the content of official historiography. \nSpeaker:\nMatthew Mosca\, Associate Professor\, Department of History and Jackson School of International Studies\, University of Washington \nModerator:\nGray Tuttle\, Leila Hadley Luce Professor of Modern Tibetan Studies\, Columbia University \nTime: April 28\, 2021 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM EDT \nRegister for the Zoom link: https://columbiauniversity.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIocOqrqzksGNwrgS_nFy9E2SpDf1DyOGY1  \nThis event is a part of the lecture series “China\, Inner Asia\, and the World: Mongol and Qing Empires in Comparative Perspectives” sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University. \nEvent Contact Information: Ling-Wei Kung lk2627@columbia.edu \n

SUMMARY:Ambiguities of Alignment: the Politics of Malaysian - US Relations
DESCRIPTION:Although Malaysia is not a treaty ally of the United States\, the two countries have had longstanding and institutionalized relations. However\, the two countries’ alignment on issues pertaining to defense and security has been increasingly colored by ambiguity and ambivalence. While the Biden Administration raises hopes that the Malaysia-US Comprehensive Partnership will be strengthened\, it is likely that old and new ambiguities will endure in sectoral\, strategic\, and other spheres. This webinar will trace the changing structural and domestic conditions underpinning these ambiguities\, before presenting a preliminary assessment on the prospects and problems of the Malaysia-United States alignment in the post-pandemic era.  \nRegister here.  \nPresenter: \nCheng-Chwee Kuik is Associate Professor and Head of the Centre for Asian Studies\, Institute of Malaysian and International Studies (IKMAS)\, National University of Malaysia (UKM).

Dr. Kuik’s research concentrates on smaller state foreign policy\, Asian security\, and international relations. His publications have appeared in peer-reviewed journals and edited books. He is co-author (with David M. Lampton and Selina Ho) of Rivers of Iron: Railroads and Chinese Power in Southeast Asia and co-editor (with Alice Ba and Sueo Sudo) of Institutionalizing East Asia. \nDiscussant: \nElina Noor is Director\, Political-Security Affairs and Deputy Director\, Washington\, D.C. Office at the Asia Society Policy Institute.
