Wilson, Roland B. "The Nexus between U.S. Foreign Policy and Conflict Resolution or Protraction| The case of North Korea." Thesis, George Mason University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3720906.
Full textThis study analyzes the connection between U.S. foreign policy and its mechanisms for either the resolution or protraction of conflict using the case of North Korea. This case is particularly ripe for resolution with regard to the United States’ recent “Pivot to Asia.” Moreover, now that North Korea is under the new leadership of the young, relatively unknown leader Kim Jong-un, this may be an essential the time to explore and implement alternative methods for ending this conflict. The purpose of this study is to enquire whether combining conflict analysis and resolution (CAR) tools and practices with alternative and dynamic soft foreign policy efforts might play a positive role in resolving this conflict. This study was conducted by analyzing current and historical documents on U.S. foreign policy, studying its desired or stated effects and comparing them to the known actual effects on the North Korean regime and its people. To help understand these effects, this study also sought the unique foreign policy perspectives, opinions, needs and desires of former North Korea refugees. The significance of this is in understanding and evaluating where CAR opportunities surface by promoting the participation of stakeholders as catalysts for change from the group of people directly affected by foreign policy: North Koreans themselves. The findings show that the U.S. foreign policy approach towards North Korea has not significantly evolved over the past 60 years. Moreover, even those North Koreans interviewed who steadfastly support a continued U.S. hard policy approach toward their former homeland conceded that positive change would also require alternative approaches that promote direct and indirect high quality contact. The findings also show even in a controlled interview environment, North Korean Refugees can change how they think, interact, and receive information, based on direct HQC and the positive repositioning of self and other. Many also had sustained contact with their loved ones still living in the North, and provide them with aid. Most North Koreans interviewed had received indirect and or direct information about the outside world when they had lived in North Korea including such things as listening to radio, watching movies or drama and receiving aid, which had a positive effect on them. While most North Koreans (still in the north) do not believe in religion, it can be an effective tool for change. The regime has continued for so long due to the structural violence and deprivation it has over society. Finally, local markets in North Korea play a key role in changing the lives of North Koreans and that North Korean diaspora can help change North Korea. The analysis provides innovative conflict resolution methods and offers potential tools and recommendations for a multi-dimensional foreign policy approach, which may affect and alter foreign policy discussions and decisions. This study, the results and recommendations are intended to be an initial step toward rethinking U.S. foreign policy for purposes of “provention.”

Full textGlobal climate negotiations have been at a standstill for over a decade now over the issue of distributing the responsibility of mitigating climate change among countries. During the past few years, countries such as India and China - the so-called emerging economies that were under no obligation to mitigate under the Kyoto Protocol - have increasingly come under pressure to accept limits comparable to those for industrialized countries. These countries, in turn, have strongly resisted these pressures. My dissertation examines India's participation in these ongoing climate negotiations. Based on qualitative interviews with relevant Indian officials, textual analysis and participant observation, I tell the story of why and how this so-called emerging economy has been resisting a cap on its emissions despite being one of the most vulnerable countries to the consequences of climate change. I draw upon the literatures of environmental justice, international relations, postcolonialism and political ecology to develop my dissertation and adopt a self-reflexive approach in my analysis. The need for global cooperation to address global environmental issues has arguably provided greater bargaining power to countries formerly marginalized in the global political economy. Following the dynamics of North-South environmental politics, India's climate politics consists of utilizing this power to increase its access to global resources as well as to hold hegemonic industrialized countries accountable for their historical and continuing exploitation of the environmental commons. A key aspect of India's climate politics consists of self-identification as a developing country. Developed countries with higher cumulative and per capita emissions are seen to have the primary responsibility to mitigate climate change and to provide financial and technological support to developing countries to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Developing countries are seen to have a right to pursue development defined as economic growth. The climate crisis is thus seen by my respondents as an opportunity to address the unequal status quo between developed and developing countries. I suggest that this crisis also creates opportunities to redefine development beyond a narrow focus on economic growth. This may be enabled if the demand for justice in an international context is extended to the domestic sphere.

Full textThe theme of this thesis is to study the strategy of industrialization of Vietnam, to determine its common points and specificities and to deduct normative propositions. The first chapter puts the strategies of industrialization of the Asian countries in the general prospect of technological catching up, by insisting on the cases of Japan and Korea in particular, which realize a mix of a international openness and an important state interventionism. The second chapter presents the current situation and the recent evolution of the Vietnamese economy. It discusses Vietnam’s insertion in the network ofEast Asian division of labour by studying the change in its foreign trade structure. The weaknesses of the Vietnamese industrial policy and its unfavourable position in the process of catching up are also controversial. The third chapter studies the factors of competitiveness of the Vietnamese economy from an examination of the traditional indicators of measure of the competitiveness and a survey about Vietnamese companies. The fourth chapter estimates the impact of the foreign direct investment (FDI)on the Vietnamese economy by using the available statistics and the results of a survey on companies having welcomed the FDI. Finally the last chapter discusses the possibility of implementation of analternative strategy of catching up, which would base on a participation in an integrated model of production, not modular and would end in a better division of the skills and the tasks with one orseveral countries at higher technological level

Full textThis dissertation has as objective to explain if and how the regional dynamics would impact the foreign policy decisions of States. To do this, we will first take Amitav Acharya's Regionalism Agenda as a basis for working on this issue, given its possibilities for our chosen hypothesis and theme to be addressed in a more complete way. Secondly, we will move forward to ASEAN's understanding of the disputes in the South China Sea, focusing first on understanding the ASEAN formation process and then on its Regional Security Agenda that permeates the thinking about these conflicts. Finally, we will look at China's relationship with ASEAN, trying to understand how Beijing addresses this issue of the South China Sea and how it alters its view on this conflict after the 1990s using the methodological basis provided by Regionalism Agenda constructed by Amitav Acharya.

With the promotion of economics and global influence, the phenomenon of the rise of China, not only making identifies of itself in international society, but also affects the foreign policy making of each country in the world. In order to play a more important global actor, Hu Jintao calls for a foreign policy of harmonious world in 2005. The policy emphasizes that peace, cooperation, and development represent the main core value of the century. This thesis considers that China’s “Harmonious World” Policy is fulfilled characters of idea factor and non-material. Because of focusing on the material structure and ignoring the effect of the idea structure, neither the neo-realism which emphasizes the power factor nor the neo-liberalism which emphasizes the interest factor could explain the rise of China. The thesis considers that the social constructivism which emphasizes the force of the idea factor could be a more appropriate approach to analyze the rise of China’s hard power and soft power. The thesis grapples with the social constructivist perspective to explore how the cognitions and ideas of the harmonious created the China’s new national identity and image. It includes six chapters. Chapter one introduces the motives, the purposes of research, and literature reviews. Chapter two manifests the analysis structure and the research methods. In this chapter also demonstrates why the neo-realism and neo-liberalism which emphasizes the materials factors can’t be suitable to explain the “Harmonious World” Policy. Chapter three analyzes the “Harmonious World” Policy with the hypothesis of social constructivism. Moreover, the main purpose of chapter four and chapter five is to explore the practice of the “Harmonious World” Policy in Asia-Pacific area. The last chapter reviews the research findings and suggestions of this thesis.
