Extract

Dr Brett McCormick and Dr Jonathan H. Ping, as co-editors, have developed the idea for this book, the thesis, and have undertaken the publishing process. This collaborative work has arisen from common academic enquiry, experiences and interaction with PRC citizens in a joint effort to address the question: ‘How do we think anew for our global future?’ Bond University Press has been instrumental in transforming the symposia into a published work. From the many discussed, the thesis of this book has emerged as the one to be published for four main reasons. Firstly, it takes advantage of years of field research in Beijing and China. Secondly, the interdisciplinary nature of the symposia (which have been predominantly—but not exclusively—attended by specialists in history, international political economy and international relations) provides for, is reflected by, and is benefited by the thesis of this book. Thirdly, the international, but crucially regional, location of the authors denote they are all concerned primarily with the Asia-Pacific littoral—all hailing from universities and colleges in the PRC, the US and the Commonwealth of Australia. Finally, and of greatest importance, has been the unique and informal access and interaction granted by senior Chinese military, government and academic individuals. In this, the Chinese individuals have all been given institutional support. This formal acquiescence was symbolised most strongly in 2006 when symposia attendees were the first group of foreign academics to be invited to visit the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

Extract

Building a globalised understanding of China is critical to the incorporation of China into the international system. Inclusion is an urgent matter. China holds a fifth of the global population, a growing portion of the economy, and has increasing potential political power. The structural interdependence of the global system, however, is outstripping cognition of its emergence. Chinese knowledge must join global scholarship. A significant result will be that issues addressed by the international system will be those which can be legitimately accepted by Chinese domestic actors. The selection of issues from a predominantly non- Chinese discourse undermines the possibility to achieve a common or globalised understanding of China. Foreign knowledge and issue selection must also be accepted by China, with this being achieved best through engagement. A stable, productive and harmonious international system will result.

Importantly then, this book is the product of interaction and collaboration between senior Chinese military, government and academic professionals and Western academics. A result of this interaction and thesis is that the issues discussed in this book are global in their effect on international relations, but derive from a Chinese perspective often understood as only regional. This results from the reality of Chinese development in that China is not yet a global great power, but rather the largest developing nation-state, with significant domestic constraints limiting and guiding foreign policy. The developed Western world may argue that China is ’rising’ and must engage in all global issues, but for this to be successful China must be engaged through its own terms.

Political Economy of International Development: The Chinese Development Model

导言

国际政治经济体系中存在一种国家等级结构。这个结构反映了各个国家在影响国际关系和参与国际关系机会两方面的相对优势。目前该结构分为三级：超级大国/大国，中等强国（MP）和小国。学术界对超级大国进行了大量研究，扩展、解释和论述了这些国家在国际政治经济体系中的作用。同样，小国的价值和概念也被研究的很透彻，但通常被视为大国的附属。专门研究中等强国的论文却寥寥无几：这方面的研究十分有限，也比较分散。在21世纪，学术界将继续研究国家等级，因此也必然将继续研究和理解中等强国。本书力图重新拾起中等强国的概念，将其作为国际关系和国际政治经济学的一个功能理论进行研究。

中等强国的治国方略：印度尼西亚、马来西亚和亚太地区

本章对治国方略（也称国家治理）进行解读。这里进行的讨论指出了治国方略的特点；通过分析这些特点，我们可以进一步审视本书的主题—中等强国（middle powers）。在研究中等强国时，需要了解治国方略最重要的组成部分，本章指出了这些组成部分，从而为这项研究铺平了道路。本章讨论的（以及参考书目中列举的）学术知识，应该被视为独立主题，属于有关治国方略的论讨。因此，本章的目的是解释治国方略，使治理国家采用的各种途径成为展开研究的框架基础。首先，

The Chinese development model: International development and hegemony

Jonathan H. Ping — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:38:27 PST

Extract:

What is the appropriate role for the People’s Republic of China (PRC or China) to play in the contemporary international political economy (IPE)? This chapter employs the discipline of IPE to explain the contemporary state market relationship from a historical perspective, and develops the thesis that China as a great power should take a more active responsibility in order to play a considerably larger role in the IPE. We cannot ignore the fact that today’s IPE, because of liberal interdependence and the functions of the mercantilist security dilemma, links regional issues to global issues; given this set of circumstances, China must of necessity engage with the IPE. It is equally important to remember that, as a consequence of its relative size, Chinese development will impact profoundly on the development of all nation-states. The option facing all other nation-states, then, is to decide whether they will view China as an ally or as a threat to their own development. Of course, China does not have to remain passive while such decisions are made, but can strategically influence the choices other nation-states make.

Statecraft, Australia and the future of Indonesia

Jonathan H. Ping — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 23:14:31 PDT

Extract:

Indonesia is reconstructing itself. Democracy has taken hold, a free press is working and the rule of law is gaining popularity. What about selfdetermination, human rights and the environment? Can Australia play a role in assisting those people and groups in Indonesia that can’t help themselves? Can Australia’s leaders help? To date, unfortunately, it can be argued that Australia has no statesmen (or stateswomen) only politicians! The character of a ‘statesperson’ sees them looking at the world in a proactive and thus inventive way which allows them to create circumstances and also to take advantage of opportunities. The reactionary is a politician.

Report into the role and adequacy of government funded national broadcasting

Jonathan H. Ping — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 16:16:18 PDT

Extract:

This subject of government funded national broadcasting is considered to be primarily a Commonwealth Government matter. However, the role and adequacy of these broadcasts have an impact on the people of South Australia and this provides the impetus of this Select Committee. It is the intention of the Select Committee to make recommendations as they relate to the broadcasters’ effect on the economy and community of South Australia. These recommendations will contribute to the ongoing and national debate on the role of government funded national broadcasting.
