Poli Sci 249 East Asian Regionalism (Spring 07)

Thursday Th 2-4P, 775A BARROWS
Office Hours: Thursday 4-5 and by appt
T.J . Pempel <pempel@berkeley.edu>
This seminar will examine the postwar experiences of the Asian region in a comparative
framework. Postwar Europe was integrated as a region rather early through the European Coal
and Steel Community and NATO; today close intra-European ties are institutionalized in the
European Union. In contrast, Asia was long divided by colonialism, the Cold War, and
America's 'hub and spoke' alliance system. Since the formation of ASEAN in 1967 closer ties
have developed across parts of Asia but these have been driven less by states entering formal
alliances and more by corporations through investment, trade and production networks.
Regional links have been bolstered as well as by state-to-state cooperation on specific non-
military problems such as immigration, environmental pollution or crime control. But here
too, many states, especially in Northeast Asia, have resisted making deep institutional
commitments that would limit sovereignty. These low levels of Asian regional
institutionalization have been blamed by some for the rapidity with which the economic crisis
of 1997-98 spread across the region. Since then various efforts have been made to strengthen
formal regional ties to prevent the recurrence of any similar financial meltdown. Security and
defense collaboration, however, have been far slower to develop and today many hot spots
and continued national competition divide the region. This seminar will examine the various
tensions between establishing closer Asian ties and the preservation of national sovereignty.
REQUIREMENTS: All members of the seminar will be expected to do two major things
beyond the major writing assignments:

1. Complete the assigned readings prior to the seminar meeting and come prepared to
discuss the readings, their relationship to one another, and their links to earlier
readings and seminar discussions.

2. Be one of two primary discussants for two weeks readings (each session will
begin with two discussants circulating a short 2-4 page think piece and then
taking 5-8 minutes to recap the key themes in the weeks readings and raising one
or two key issues for subsequent discussion. (The assignment of discussant roles
will be made in the second class.)

In addition, all seminar participants must complete one of the following two writing
assignments:

Option A: Complete a 20-25 page research paper on some theoretically and empirically
interesting aspect of East Asian regionalism. Hard or electronic copies of these papers should
be distributed to all seminar members one week in advance. They will be discussed in seminar
sessions on May 3.

2
By March 23, those taking this option should complete and circulate a 5-8 page outline of
their research paper. Distribute copies of these to all seminar members. Outlines will be
discussed in seminar sessions on April 5.

Option B: Complete four 7-10 page critical review essays, each dealing with one of the
weeks readings. These essays should be based on the required readings assigned. They may
focus on differences in the analysis of any two or more readings, your own assessment of
strengths or weaknesses in several of the readings, recent developments that reinforce or
challenge the conclusions of the readings, etc. The point is these are critical reviews, not
simple summaries of the readings. Two of these may be coordinated with the oral required
presentations.

READINGS: All required readings should be done prior to the seminar. All efforts have been
made to make these available electronically and through library reserve. The books and issues
of the journal The Pacific Review prior to the year 2000 will be located in GRDS in room 208
Doe Library (Graduate Services). The journals Cooperation and Conflict, Foreign Affairs,
and Survival are available non-circulating in the 2nd Floor of Doe Library in the Rosberg
Reading Room. Links to articles available electronically can be found on the Pol Sci 249
Asian Regionalism course page on the Library's Electronic Reserve Service at
http://eres.berkeley.edu/. The password to the page is asre. The electronic articles are listed in
order of appearance on the syllabus. There are a number of additional readings on the
syllabus. These are designed to be a first-cut bibliography for anyone wishing to explore
specific topics in more depth. Some items may be a bit dated in the interests of offering more
rather than less information.

Students may also wish to purchase the following paperback books which will be read in
whole or in large part during the semester:

No required readings

J anuar y 25 - Regionalism and Integration Theory: These readings cover some
of the theoretical literature on regional international relations. Key questions include: What is
the 'dependent variable' in the study of East Asian IR? What constitutes a region, that is, what
are the defining characteristics of a regional subsystem? On what basis can East Asia be
characterized as a regional subsystem having its own international relations? Do different
characteristics have different implications for levels of conflict and cooperation? What
hypotheses about regional interaction, and about the relationship between global and local
systems come out of this literature?

February 15- Beginnings of the The East Asian Model and the
Economic Miracle: Much of contemporary East Asias success, and subsequent
interlinkage grew out of the early postwar economic success of J apan and the perception that
the J apanese model represented an alternative model of capitalist economics. Chalmers
J ohnson popularized the notion of J apan as a developmental state and subsequent success by
South Korea and Taiwan added to the perception that the model was creating an economic
miracle across the region.

February 22 - Emerging Regionalization: Economic success began a process of
weaving closer links among many parts of Asia. ASEAN emerged primarily as a security
arrangement in Southeast Asia. J apanese investments in parts of Asia further wove different
links creating trans-border production networks. Changes in Chinese domestic politics
combined with the search for capital investments led to growing economic ties in South China
and along the Chinese East Coast. All resulted in a regionalization driven largely by
corporate activities.

March 1 Early Regionalism: The previous week examined the processes of bottom-up
linkage across national borders. From the top down certain activities were also attempting to
tie parts of East Asia more closely together. The three most important of these were ASEAN,
APEC and ARF. But these regional links were also in competition with a variety of
longstanding bilateral security arrangements. Northeast Asia in particular seemed particularly
resistant to formal ties.

or whether security relations are developing that are more prone to generate stability and
cooperation.

March 15 - The East Asian Economic Crisis And Its Aftermath: In 1990-91,
the J apanese economy suffered a bursting of its burgeoning asset bubble and the countrys
macro-economy began a downturn from which it has yet to recover. 1997-98, the currencies
of Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea and the Philippines all came under intense
speculative attack; most fell sharply sending severe shocks through all, and leading to IMF
bailout packages for three. The causes and consequences of the crisis have been subject to
wide analysis; however, the events themselves proved a turning point for many governments
and organizations across the Asia-Pacific. Indonesia, for example, witnessed longstanding
economic chaos; South Korea, on the other hand, restructured important elements of its
12
chaebol system and recovered rather quickly. Equally importantly, there was a burst of new
regional institutions and processes.

March 22 New Security Threats, Potential Trouble Spots and Global
Integration: The 1990s saw a number of important developments in military security
across Asia. Many appeared to reopen old territorial rivalries yet in no case did overt state-to-
state conflict break out. Interpretations differed on how to interpret these events. To some
they suggested that East Asia was still highly vulnerable to open warfare; to others, the
implication was that East Asia had become increasingly able to cope peacefully with internal
tensions.

April 12--The Rise of Non-State Terror and Terrorist States: Traditional
defense and military security issues in East Asia, as elsewhere, have focused heavily on state-
to-state conflicts and the possibilities of interstate warfare. The post-Cold War period has seen
North Korea branded as a terrorist state and a rogue nation, while in the wake of Sept. 11,
considerable attention has been given to Islamist threats linked to al Quada and other non-
state generated groups. This section explores some of these issues with an eye toward how
best to reconceptualize new security problems in the region.
