Abstract Foreign aid has become an integral instrument of Russia’s policy towards North Korea since the 2000s. Based on quantitative and qualitative data this study systematically maps and discusses Russia’s aid disbursements to the DPRK in 2000–2020. It is shown that debt relief constituted the largest share and the significance of humanitarian assistance had increased. Unlike in the Soviet period when ideological motives prevailed in rendering foreign aid, the beginning of the 21st century saw a re-emerging of Russia’s international assistance mainly driven by pragmatic political and economic considerations without excessive obligations on both bilateral and multilateral levels. Although recipient need was considered in aid allocation, volumes were too small to solve North Korea’s food insecurity and malnutrition. This study contributes to a broader strategic picture of Russia’s policy towards North Korea.

Abstract In less than three decades, the People’s Liberation Army Navy developed from a minor coastal-defence force into the largest naval force in the world. China’s rapid rise in seapower has gained significant attention from established naval circles, academia, and the public. In their efforts to explain this development, analysts have often referred to 19th-century naval history, seeking to connect China’s maritime developments to the ideas of influential naval strategists like Alfred Thayer Mahan and Julian Corbett. However, in doing so, these naval thinkers are often used to make a case about long-term developments or strategic implications regarding China’s alleged grand strategy. This paper seeks to turn this methodology around by solely focusing on the reflection of those naval theories—in their own right—against China’s maritime strategy. In doing so, it aims to historicise China’s 21st-century maritime strategy by testing to what extent it is reflected by the ideas of the navalists that are often presumed to influence Chinese strategic circles. It is argued that while on a grand-strategic level, Chinese strategic thinking seems to reflect the essence of Mahan’s seapower argument regarding its focus on the interconnectedness of maritime commerce and national power, a closer analysis reveals significant discrepancies in terms of both implementation and the broader strategic mindset regarding China’s geostrategic situation.

Abstract This article examines the case of Taiwan’s anti-same-sex marriage referendum of 2018. This case shows that a referendum can severely affect the model of constitutional sovereignty which has guided Taiwan since its democratisation. The fact that populists were able to use the referendum as a tool to delegitimise the state organs, we argue, throws light on the relationship between populism and direct democracy.

Abstract In the early years of the twentieth century, U.S. relationships with the East were shaped by influential men and women bent on modernising and Christianising other countries. Sidney Gulick, whose 1915 Working Women of Japan is part of a larger effort to support Japan’s modernisation, writes about a charitable institution as an exemplar for future projects. Although the project successfully attracted many young textile workers and assisted them by providing education, healthy living, and new opportunities, it also reveals a darker underside to western charitable impulses. Gulick conflates morality with industry, happiness with production, and success with profit, reducing a laudable attempt to interest fellow Americans in charitable efforts to an attempt to gain buy-in for a commercial project. By working in close partnership with exploitative factories and their owners, these would-be reformers end by supporting the very conditions which they set out to reform.
在20世纪早期，美国与东方的关系是由有影响力的男人和女人决定的，他们致力于使其他国家现代化和基督教化。西德尼•古力克(Sidney Gulick)的《1915年日本职业女性》(1915 Working Women of Japan)是支持日本现代化的更大努力的一部分，她将一家慈善机构作为未来项目的典范。虽然该项目成功地吸引了许多年轻的纺织工人，并通过提供教育、健康的生活和新的机会来帮助他们，但它也揭示了西方慈善冲动的阴暗面。古力克将道德与工业、幸福与生产、成功与利润混为一谈，将美国人对慈善事业感兴趣的值得称赞的尝试，减少为商业项目争取支持的尝试。通过与剥削工厂及其所有者的密切合作，这些想要改革的人最终支持了他们开始改革的条件。
