ABSTRACT How can a regional organisation survive in great power contests? This article uses the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as the empirical case to address the puzzle. The inquiry is important for three reasons. First, the recent developments in world politics have shown the increasingly penetrative actions of the major powers into regional multilateral organisations. Second, looking at ASEAN, the internal cohesion and solidity of the Association's member countries over the last decade have been challenged by the competition between China and the U.S. Third, the existing literature on ASEAN regional strategic affairs has been focused on hedging as the weaker states’ agential choice to manage their relations with the stronger states. However, there is insufficient explanation of what makes sustainable Southeast Asian states’ hedging possible. Working within the English School theory of IR, this article offers two factors explaining ASEAN’s survival as a regional international society: elite diplomatic culture and great power management. The argument is that ASEAN has developed its ideas and values of intra-regional diplomatic relations and built institutions that can mitigate the damaging consequences of the U.S.–China order contestation. Furthermore, this study promotes an English School perspective on hedging based on the ASEAN case. Arguing against the realist theory of hedging, which focuses on the domestic function of foreign policy strategy, the narrow conception of national interests and the relative distribution of power at the systemic level, hedging works because of viable institutions of the regional international society oriented toward constructing and preserving order .

ABSTRACT Why did the flurry of summitry in the Trump years to denuclearize North Korea fall short? What is the crux of the Korean security problem? To understand peninsular security, I argue that a more holistic approach is warranted to unpack and piece together the many crosscutting and overlapping security dynamics in a cogent and coherent manner. In this article, I first argue that the Korean Peninsula should be understood as a security system writ large, comprising the United States, China, and the two Koreas as indispensable players in all major issues pertaining to peninsular security. The second section introduces complex systems theory as an analytical approach that injects more sophistication and dynamic into the otherwise overly structural analysis typical of the field. The third and fourth sections reconstruct the unfolding of major events in terms of a positive feedback loop – namely, how great power realpolitik and North Korea’s provocations converged and ricocheted to cause the crisis in 2017, as well as a negative feedback loop in which triangular interactions both facilitated and obstructed US – North Korea wrangling. The conclusion offers some preliminary assessments of how things might play out in the future.

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to contribute in two respects to the evolving research agenda focused on the problem of democratic resilience. First, we attempt to provide several clarifications regarding the general concept of ‘democratic resilience’, in the course of which we both assess a number of accounts offered thus far and discuss some difficulties raised by elements of its most attractive articulation. Second, we outline a specific conception of democratic resilience framed on minimalist grounds and designed so as to be compatible with a wide range of descriptive and normative models of democracy. Aside from the conceptual and analytical value of these contributions, we also point to their practical relevance for both empirical assessments and for the normative and applied-level evaluation of democratic institutions and their performance.

Big data-mediated repression: a novel form of preemptive repression in China’s Xinjiang region 以大数据为媒介的镇压:中国新疆地区先发制人镇压的一种新形式

ABSTRACT Governments repress using different logics. Responsive repression is employed in the aftermath of dissent activities. Preemptive repression is applied in anticipation of challenges to the state's authority. This article brings a novel insight into the mechanism of preemptive repression by giving analytical weight to big data analytics. It is shown that a new type of preemptive repression has emerged in China's Xinjiang region. While targeted repression is generally associated with specific opposition groups, with the use of big data technology, China is now able to apply targeted repression against millions of Muslim minorities by processing data to predict dissent behaviour, which constitutes a radical transformation of preemptive repression. This article defines this mode of repression as ‘a techno-panoptic form of repression’ in which human behaviour is reduced to data and big data analytics becomes an instrument through which the state gains hyper-agency.
政府压制使用不同的逻辑。响应性镇压是在异议活动之后使用的。先发制人的镇压是在预期国家权威会受到挑战的情况下实施的。本文通过对大数据分析的分析权重,对先发制人的抑制机制提出了新的见解。这表明,在中国新疆地区出现了一种新型的先发制人的镇压。虽然有针对性的镇压通常与特定的反对派团体有关,但随着大数据技术的使用,中国现在能够通过处理数据来预测持不同政见者的行为,对数百万穆斯林少数民族实施有针对性的镇压,这构成了先发制人镇压的根本转变。本文将这种压制模式定义为“一种技术全景形式的压制”,在这种压制中,人类行为被简化为数据,大数据分析成为国家获得超级代理的工具。

Anti-democratic youth? The influence of youth cohort size and quality of democracy on young people’s support for democracy 反民主青年吗?青年群体规模和民主质量对青年支持民主的影响

ABSTRACT This paper aims to investigate whether a country’s youth cohort size and quality of democracy, independently and jointly predict young people’s propensity to support democracy as a political system. We use pooled data from World Values Survey Waves 5–7, comprising 81 country-waves with 25,125 observations from 39 established and new democracies, in multilevel binary logistic regression analyses. The paper finds evidence that firstly, against conventional expectations, a large youth cohort exerts a positive influence on young people’s support for democracy as a political system. Secondly, the effect of youth cohort size depends on the quality of democracy of countries: young people growing as part of the youth cohorts in established democracies show stronger propensities to support democracy than their peers in new democracies. This has implications for both theory and empirical research.

The Islamic State, Shia religious clerics and the mobilisation of Shia militias in Iraq and Syria 伊斯兰国、什叶派宗教神职人员以及伊拉克和叙利亚什叶派民兵的动员

ABSTRACT This article focuses on the Islamic State’s (IS) attacks on Shia communities and their holy sites across Iraq and Syria and explores the responses of key Shia religious and political leaders. It demonstrates how these Shia elites utilised sophisticated mobilisation frames to admonish their followers to take up arms against the IS. To do so, these Shia elites drew on Shia religious symbols and historical events that emphasise Shia suffering at the hands of Sunni forces and highlighted the urgent need to protect Shia communities and their holy sites. The article also demonstrates how these mobilisation frames were malleable in the hands of different Shia elites and were instrumentalized to advance both national (defend the country) and transnational goals (defend Shia Islam). The article concludes by noting that this study of the complex motives underpinning Shia mobilisation has implications beyond the case of contemporary Iraq and Syria.

European union crisis-induced institutional evolution. The effect of institutional entrepreneurship in the formation of EFSF 欧盟危机引发的制度演变。制度企业家精神在EFSF形成中的作用

ABSTRACT This paper conducts an in-depth case study of the 2010 Greek entrepreneurship attempts that led to the EFSF's creation, aiming to theorise crisis-induced institutional change in the EU. This research aims to cover the theoretical gap left by existing literature by combining theoretical elements derived from historical institutionalism and institutional entrepreneurship. Crises function as critical junctures. During critical junctures, the structural grip of path dependency loosens; thus, a multitude of paths forward are available. The choice of a specific path, if any, heavily relies on the concept of institutional entrepreneur. In 2010 the Greek government was such an agent, with interest in altering EU institutional design to overcome its financial ordeal and with direct access to the EU Council, the primary decision-making body regarding institutional change. The entrepreneur triggers a process of institutional change through their proposal. Once the entrepreneur chooses a path forward, this is further moulded by path dependencies.
本文对2010年希腊的创业尝试进行了深入的案例研究,该尝试导致了EFSF的创建,旨在对危机引发的欧盟制度变革进行理论分析。本研究旨在结合历史制度主义和制度企业家精神的理论元素,弥补现有文献留下的理论空白。危机是关键的转折点。在关键时刻,路径依赖的结构抓地力松动;因此,前进的道路有很多。具体路径的选择,如果有的话,在很大程度上依赖于制度企业家的概念。2010年,希腊政府就是这样一个代理人,有兴趣改变欧盟的制度设计,以克服其财政困境,并直接进入欧盟理事会,这是有关制度变革的主要决策机构。企业家通过他们的提议触发了制度变革的过程。一旦企业家选择了前进的道路,这将进一步受到路径依赖的影响。

When institutions ‘bite’: Malaysia’s flawed democratisation 当制度“咬人”:马来西亚有缺陷的民主化

ABSTRACT While the expectation is that electoral turnover spurred by change agents will translate to political reform and/or consolidation of reform, recent outcomes have been disappointing. Taking the example of Malaysia’s recent political change, we argue that carrying out political reform and consolidating them remain elusive because there are strong tendencies by all parties – change agents included – to stay invested to aspects of state’s institutional qualities. We explain that institutions ‘bite’; that change agents are not completely free agents because political reform remains highly dependent on existing institutional qualities, the so-called rules of the game. While new reform ideas hold promises of change, issues of path dependence, increasing returns, and dense institutional networks impose challenges to actors making them highly invested in existing institutional mixes resulting in a botched democratisation effort.
虽然人们期望由变革推动者推动的选举更替将转化为政治改革和/或巩固改革,但最近的结果令人失望。以马来西亚最近的政治变革为例,我们认为,进行政治改革和巩固政治改革仍然是难以捉摸的,因为所有政党——包括变革推动者——都有强烈的倾向,要继续投资于国家制度质量的各个方面。我们解释说,制度“咬人”;变革的推动者并不是完全自由的推动者,因为政治改革仍然高度依赖于现有的制度质量,即所谓的游戏规则。虽然新的改革理念带来了变革的希望,但路径依赖、回报增加和密集的制度网络等问题给参与者带来了挑战,使他们高度投资于现有的制度组合,从而导致拙劣的民主化努力。

Contagious politics and COVID-19: does the infectious disease hit populist supporters harder? 传染性政治与COVID-19:传染病对民粹主义支持者的打击更大吗?

ABSTRACT As an example of a typical right-wing populist, Jair Bolsonaro downplayed Covid-19 and rejected scientific evidence to address the pandemic. We argue that both his communication style and approach to crisis management had consequences for the behavioural patterns of his followers, which, in turn, had public health implications. Building on survey research, we demonstrate how Bolsonaro’s supporters were less likely to consider the pandemic as a key challenge for the country, less worried about getting infected and less likely to wear masks. We show that this ‘riskier’ behaviour had concrete repercussions. Even after controlling for confounders such as population density, age, education and wealth, municipalities with higher aggregate support for Bolsonaro had higher Covid-19 infection rates in 2020 and saw more people dying from the virus.
作为典型的右翼民粹主义者,雅伊尔·博尔索纳罗(Jair Bolsonaro)淡化了Covid-19,并拒绝接受应对疫情的科学证据。我们认为,他的沟通风格和危机管理方法都对他的追随者的行为模式产生了影响,这反过来又对公共卫生产生了影响。在调查研究的基础上,我们展示了博索纳罗的支持者如何不太可能将疫情视为该国的关键挑战,不太担心被感染,也不太可能戴口罩。我们表明,这种“风险更大”的行为产生了具体的影响。即使在控制了人口密度、年龄、教育和财富等混杂因素后,对博尔索纳罗总体支持度较高的城市,在2020年的Covid-19感染率也较高,死于该病毒的人数也更多。
