Article 2 of the United Nations Charter stipulates that UN members settle international disputes by peaceful means and refrain from the threat or use of force. This commitment represents the most important agreement humankind has constructed in international relations after World War II. In defiance of this agreement, Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. This article first discusses similar historical cases and notes that it is necessary for international society to stay prepared for similar crises. On the premise that such emergencies will continue to recur, the author presents eight lessons that should be learned by the international community from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Although Japan and Ukraine are geographically distant countries, since 1992 when Japan opened an embassy in the newly independent Ukraine, the two countries have enjoyed favorable diplomatic relations. The author, former Ambassador of Japan to Ukraine, describes developments in the relationship, outlines Japan’s assistance and support of Ukraine, and discusses establishment of the G7 Ambassadors’ Support Group for Ukraine in 2015. In his capacity as Chairman of this group, the author reviews various reforms in healthcare, judicial, and political fields in Ukraine that were supported by the G7 Ambassadors Support Group. In spite of Russia’s invasion, the author believes that the reforms made in Ukraine will not be lost.

With the distancing of the EU from Xi Jinping and the strengthening of relations with Japan in the context of the Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) strategy in 2021, we are witnessing the birth of a new political paradigm binding Europe to Asia based on the values of democracy and the rule of law. The ongoing war in Ukraine, the recent US shift which shows disinterest in European affairs, and the creation of AUKUS are factors that might enhance the future role of the FOIP or risk to weaken it. This contribution aims to highlight and analyze these factors, questioning the future of this strategy and suggesting paths that can make its implementation more effective, in order to exploit all the possibilities that may be offered through its agenda and ensuring the maintenance of the international liberal order.

“ Upright Writing (zhíb ǐ 直筆 or zhísh ū 直書 ) ” has been referred to as a normative principle for writing history in East Asia. Above all, “ upright writing ” has guided the compilation of the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty ( 朝鮮王祖實錄 ) . This paper attempts to understand the principle of “ upright writing ” as perceived by the Joseon people. In Joseon, there were two different understandings of “ upright writing. ” One was to write down the most right judgment of the reality without any concealment, which resembled the classical Chinese understanding. The other was to write down the facts not allowing any jurisdiction of a historian, which resembled the understanding of Zhuxi ( 朱熹 ) . These two understandings have competed and collaborated in the political context of Joseon. In the process, they served the political interests of diverse agents and provided a political mechanism for deciding right and wrong. Taking such a historical approach to the principle of “ upright writing ” will allow us to fully savor some critical layers of meaning of the Veritable Records , which has not yet been investigated due to an anachronistic understanding of “ upright writing. ” Abstract

What was the historical dimension of French Asian studies? The EFEO (École Française d ’ Extrême-Orient) was founded in 1900 with headquarters in Hanoi in what was then French Indochina. The EFEO ’ s main mission was defined as archaeological exploration, collection of manuscripts, preservation of monuments, making lists of ethnic groups, linguistic studies, and the study of the history of all Asian civilizations, in particular from South Asia to Northeast Asia. This study examines EFEO ’ s origin, mission, networks, organization, research activities and partnerships. Its achievement could help develop Asian studies emphasizing on ‘ Trans United Asia on the Move. ’ Abstract

Centering on the concept of international history in East Asia, this thesis examines the relationship among Xiongnu, Xin, Goguryeo, Nakrang commandery, and the polities on the southern part of the Korean Peninsula through Wang Mang ’ s coin excavated from the southern part of the Korean Peninsula in the early 1st century. Despite the extremely short period of use, a relatively large quantity of Wang Mang ’ s coin has been confirmed. This is a very unusual quantity in comparison to that of the northern part of the Korean Peninsula or northeastern China. The conflict between Goguryeo and the Wang Mang regime derived from the war of Wang Mang regime-Xiongnu. In such conflict, it is possible that the Wang Mang regime paid attention to the polities of the southern Korean Peninsula as its potential alliances. As a result of the upheaval that led to the fall of Western Han and the establishment and collapse of Xin, political control over Nakrang commandery ’ s was relaxed. In this situation, the southern polities of the Korean Peninsula, which had secured military supplies such as iron, would have been an attractive target of negotiation for the Wang Mang regime. In addition, securing tribute envoys was also the lofty ideal of an empire that envisioned an asymmetric world with the emperor at its peak. In this respect, it is assumed that the king of Dongyi, who paid the national treasure across the Great Sea as tribute in the Book of Han, Abstract was likely to be the head of the southern Korean Peninsula ’ s polities that led negotiations with China. Wang Mang ’ s coin in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula is of great significance in that it shows a multi-layered international network in East Asia in the early 1st century.

In the mid-1960s, a massive number of industrial projects were launched in China ’ s interior, known as the Third Front Movement, a response to international tensions created by the Cold War. Although they were abandoned at the end of the Cold War, the Third Front projects left a significant impact on the country. As an embodiment of these ongoing influences, nowadays, elders sharing recollections about the Third Front projects have formed a considerable part of China ’ s nostalgists for the Maoist era. Based on the Third Front workers ’ life experiences in Mao ’ s China, this article explains Maoist era nostalgia when Chinese people generally live a better life in comparison with that during the rule of Mao Zedong. Furthermore, this article explores the question of whether their nostalgia is also for the Cold War. This exploration adds to a better understanding of the rebirth of nationalist fervor in today ’ s China.
