Full textThe objective of this thesis is to make a significant contribution on the prospects of regional integration of the French Pacific territories in the current international context. As well, it aims at identifying the opportunities for business development to the export market. The emancipation of the French collectivities in Oceania cannot be confined to removing them from United Nations’ list of seventeen territories to be decolonized. More generally, the integration of islands with populations of under one million into international trade flows is the key to the issues of insular development. We will therefore seek to determine whether the MIRAB (Migration, Remittances, Aid, Bureaucracy) reference model of the Pacific economies is still up to the challenges of globalization. The multilateral trading system is undergoing profound change and seems to be seeing a regional fragmentation of its spheres of influence. Since the early 2000’s, the initiative of the Pacific Island Countries Trade Agreement (PICTA) and Pacific Agreement on Closer Economic Relations (PACER) agreements would appear to be the first step towards the construction of a regional single market in the Pacific. Oceania represents a market of seven million consumers scattered over one-third of the surface area of the globe. Geographical isolation, lack of commercial openings and the heterogeneous nature of the Pacific Island economies have a direct influence on commercial policies. Furthermore, in New Caledonia as in French Polynesia 97% are very small businesses employing less than 10 people. As in most islands of Oceania, the economic model is only oriented toward the internal market and is not structured for export. In this context, the French Pacific territories are labeled as one of the 34 «hotspot » of the biodiversity; their ecosystems are amongst the most diversified in the world. Rich of this competitive advantage, the valorization of the endemic fauna and flora can take many forms: agriculture, tourism, extraction of resources, scientific research…We will try to define the most profitable exploitation of the natural heritage for a sustainable development

After the Cold War, in a period of rapid growth for Asia-Pacific economies, several threats to both regional security and U.S. national interests arose. These threats included China’s rapid transformation into a regional power, North Korea’s continuing development of nuclear weapons and unanswered questions over the sovereignty of Taiwan. In response to this newly unpredictable situation the Bush administration adjusted its policies in the Asia-Pacific region with the goal of retaining its predominant role in that region. The Bush administration’s foreign policy was heavily influenced by Neoconservative principles which emphasize a strong military, the safeguarding of American hegemony, and other interests, alongside impeding the rise of any political or military competitors that may potentially challenge U.S. dominance of the Asia-Pacific region. This thesis examines both Neoconservative principles and the “The Bush Doctrine” as factors in the molding of Bush administration foreign policy in the Asia-Pacific region. This thesis concludes that policies utilized by the Bush administration including: the “Friends of the system” tactic; the use of Six-Party talks in response to the North Korean nuclear crisis; the expansion of the US-Japan alliance, and U.S. cooperation with the Japanese in dealing with the Taiwan strait issue all demonstrate the effect of Neoconservative philosophies on the Bush administration’s policies in the region.

This study focused on 14 Asia-Pacific major airports. The airline networks of the 14 Asia-Pacific major airports for 2001, 2006, and 2011, based on OAG data, have been constructed. The trends of Asia-Pacific region airline networks were analyzed. In addition, the competitive potential of the 14 Asia-Pacific major airports was evaluated by using two kinds of centrality indices which represent, respectively, the airport direct connecting and hubbing potential. Among the 14 Asia-Pacific major airports, the result shows that three Chinese airports including Beijing Airport, Shanghai Airport, and Guangzhou Airport have the best competitive advantage, and also have the highest growth rates in the past decade. Incheon Airport has good competitive potential, and has already achieved significant advancement. In contrast, Taiwan Taoyuan Airport didn’t have the significant competitive potential as expected. Its growth in recent years depends mostly on the flights between Taiwan and China. To be competitive, we need to grasp and make full use and expansion on the part of the advantage routes, such as the routes from Southeast Asia to North America and the routes connecting to China.

Abstract: China became a strong and powerful state since “Reform and Open Policy” was conducted since 1979. As an important actor in the world, Chinese development is closely linked with Asia-Pacific region. So, China Strategy in Asia-Pacific is interrelated with China domestic and overseas security, and interrelated with changing of Asia-Pacific and global situation. Since Deng, Xiao-Ping came into power in 1978 and took “Comprehensive National Power” as the core interests of China. This led to a significant change of China’s security concepts. Deng, Xiao-Ping changed the subsistence-led strategy into a development-led strategy and performed the developmental strategy of “Reform and Open” to accelerate the fulfillment of developmental object of “The Four Modernization” so as to promote China’s “Comprehensive National Power” and to conserve China’s core interests. But in phase of Deng, Xiao-Ping is not to bring up the concept of “Comprehensive National Power”, since 1992, Jiang, Ze-min just to bring up the concept of “Comprehensive National Power”. The raised of China “Comprehensive National Power” to lead Asia-Pacific appear “The China Threat Theory” in 1990’s, and to bring influence of China to development “Comprehensive National Power”. So, Jiang, Ze-min advocated “New Security Concept, NSC” to settle the pressure of “The China Threat Theory”. Since Hu, Jin-tao came into power, except to continue cooperation mode of “New Security Concept”, and expand the security contents to “non-traditional security concept”. Hu, Jin-tao as well as advocate “China’s Peaceful Rise Theory” to settle the pressure of “The China Threat Theory”, can enhance rise of China’s “Comprehensive National Power”. This research tries to use the Comprehensive National Power Perspective to construct China Security Concept, and significance of China Asia-Pacific Security Strategy in Comprehensive National Power development, hope to know well the full view of China Asia-Pacific Security Strategy. Key word: Comprehensive National Power, China security concept, China Asia-Pacific Security Strategy, The China Threat Theory, China’s Peaceful Rise Theory.

The Alexander Wendt’s Constructivism is concerned about Agent and structure of the construction relationship, it’s because of “the Agent mold Structure, Structure can also construct the Agent’s behaviors”. From this viewpoint, in the Asia-Pacific area, interactive relationship between U.S. and China not only restricts to Asia-Pacific countries’ policy output relationally but also constructs out of model of Asia-Pacific Security. At the beginning of thesis, it explains the general idea of Constructivism, and the relationships between identify and structure change. Then the major concept is adopted to express Asia-Pacific Security construction under the interactions of U.S.-P.R.C. in following chapters. Second, researching what the identified constructional model about culture in the Asia-Pacific strategy and strategic interactions under U.S. and P.R.C. is; moreover finding out what the element of identity and interest shift is. Finally, in different levels, the interactive logic of culture construction whether influence Asia-Pacific countries diplomacy interaction and policies output or not, it means that these countries, includes of Russia, Japan and Taiwan might be restricted or limited by the model of culture construction on their diplomacy policy output. From the above ratiocination, the Asia-Pacific strategic structure seems be changed by the strategic identity in different periods; conditioned by the structure, China will follow the footstep of U.S. to establish distinct culture construction, and these cultures will re-mold the relationship of security construction between U.S., P.R.C. and Asia-Pacific countries. Finally, it possibly produces the obstructions to the structure conversion; the whole culture construction would not be changed unless the new ideas or elements emerge. From Hobbes’s culture to Locke’s, the culture construction growth means that interactive relationship would improve the integration of international regime. Maybe the trend will make the whole Asia-Pacific security construction relationally stable.On the other side, the key point of the Asia-Pacific security construction is how to handle Cross-Strait question. On the other hand, how to properly handle U.S.-Japan Defense System and Cross-Strait question will be the main subject to the U.S. and P.R.C. culture construction.

Abstract After the policy of reformation and opening of Taiwan's telecommunications market several times, the telecommunications companies had expanded market share through the integration and sale of franchises. The headquarters changes the franchising contract frequently after the substantial growth of the users, which leads to the distrust between the headquarters and the chain stores. This study has two purposes. First, we try to explore the business issue of the Taiwan telecommunications industry through the framework of service marketing. Second, we expect to provide effective solutions to solve the exiting managerial problems. This study conducted Yin’s qualitative case study, investigating the case of Asia-Pacific Telecommunications, to collect data by using the marketing 7P framework, combined with in-depth interviews. The results indicate key issues in the service marketing of 7Ps:(Product): assisting franchisees to reduce their stock by increasing turnovers; (Price) : offering innovative products with higher pricing; (place): managing effectively channel members by building fair platform for competition and by creating bigger market share; (promotion): launching creative campaigns for acquiring new customer; (people): recruiting potential candidates and on-job training professional sales people; (process): building up standard operating procedures(SOP) for personal selling and after sales service in maintenance; (physical environment): constructing friendly experiencing environment with the atmosphere of cooperate social responsibility. The study suggests that the industry stakeholders-government, consumers telecom companies and their franchisees- have to face those issues and further provide effective solution from the perspectives of policy and practices so as to develop the whole industrial structures with justice and fairness.

Upon assuming the office in 2001, facing with the security uncertainty in the Asia-Pacific region and the rise of China that might become the U. S.’s potential rivalry in the region prompted the Bush’s Administration to treat China as both a “strategic competitor” in the U. S.-Sino relationship and a primary axis of its Asia-Pacific security strategy. After the “9/11” incident and under its necessity to fight terrorism, the Bush government sought cooperation from the great powers in the Asia-Pacific region, including China, to form anti-terrorism coalitions. However, with the coalitions, the Bush government later garrisoned military forces in China’s backyard—the Central Asia, and suggested, in its 2006 National Security Strategy report, the potential threats from the great powers due to China’s military development in the region. This research explores the Bush Government’s cooperating and competing policy strategy, the contributing factors, and the change of its Asia-Pacific strategy after the “9/11 incident” within the realm of “Realism” and based on the core concept of the “Offensive Realism” approach, such as the unpredictable intentions among nations, the unavoidable conflicts, and regional hegemonies’ adoption of the “Offshore Balancing” strategy on external affairs. Under the “Offensive Realism” framework, it examines the revision of the Bush government’s Asia-Pacific strategy that embraced three major issues: 1) strengthening the U.S.-Japan relationship as specified in the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan; 2) solving the nuclear weapon crisis of the North Korea; and 3) coping with China’s rise, along with the residual effect of its Asia-Pacific strategic deployment. The research finds that, after the “9/11”, the U. S. relied more and more on its “Offshore Balancing” policy given its geographic feature and economic downturn. The Administration’s phased anti-terrorism coalition and cognitive Asian-Pacific strategy based on the “Offensive Realism” had not only aroused high concerns from China, the Central Asia, and the Southeast Asia, but also become its objective of containing the great powers in the Asia-Pacific region.

As PRC accelerates its military modernization, its maritime combat capability has been escalated by days. The PLA’s military strategy has also been modified from "Coastal Defense", "Offshore Defense" to "Ocean Escorts”. Following on this strategy, as a result, PLA’s maritime combat ranges has been continually expanded. The former Navy commander of PRC, Liu Hua-qing, proposed that "In the early 21st century, we will control the first island chain, the second island chain in 2020, and we will navigate globally by 2050." Based on Liu’s strategic thinking, the three-step vision becomes the strategic goal for PLA’s maritime combat forces. In 2014, PRC held the Fourteenth West Pacific Naval Conference for the first time in order to set up the rules of engagement for naval ships in the region. PRC also participated the 2014 Pacific multinational joint military exercises led by the US. In this military exercise, PLA showed its ambition to the Pacific by sending its ships to join the military exercise as an observer. In tradition, the observer does not send the ship. Currently, PLA is also actively escalating its capability of Blue-water navy. Most of the studies of the maritime capability are based on Sea Power Theory. However, modern battle had broken the traditional ideas of single army and single field in a battle. Sea Power can no longer support the multi-dimensional modern warfare. Secondly, the purpose of the PLA developing its maritime power is different from the other countries. The first priority of PLA is to protect its sovereignty and territory from any invasion and intervention from the foreign countries. If the war erupted in the west Pacific Rim, it will not only happen on the sea but also include invading other countries. Based on the aforementioned perspective, in terms of war theories, this research will be based on Clausewitz’s “On War” to explain the basic idea and the capability of PLA. To be more specific, this research will combine the ideas of the essence of war, defense, offense from Clausewitz and Active defense from the strategic thinking of PLA to illustrate the picture and the purpose of PLA of the possible war in the west Pacific Rim.

After China’s rise since the Reform and Open-up policy in 1978, the world situation has encountered a significant change, which not only influences the distribution of power in the international system, but also makes China become a powerful state in Asian region with its increasing development. To correspond to the discussion of 「China Threat Theory」in the international society, China has put forward「Peaceful Rise」in 2003, then changed it into「Peaceful Development」 thereafter in 2005. Ever since china adheres to peaceful development, the relationship between the U.S. and China is moving toward a trend of competition and cooperation. However, the U.S. puts its global strategy back to the east the last few years, still can see the U.S. regards China as a frienemy, which shows that the Asian-pacific strategy of the U.S. will be a great change in its national defense. With regard to China’s quick rise, the U.S. starts to reappraise the impact of china’s rise; therefore, the status of Asia-pacific region in the global strategies of the U.S. is getting more and more important. The U.S. is also forced to engage in Asian affairs more actively then before. The U.S.’s alliances in Asia-pacific region, which are the foundation in setting up its status in the Asia-pacific region, help the U.S. project its global strategies. The one hand, using the global strategies to maintain a United States dominance in Asia, on the other hand, through the strategies to prevent the threat of China's rise. In the future, China will be the major challenge to the U.S. The purpose of this dissertation is to discuss whether China is rising peacefully or not, and to observe that the strategies which are developed by the U.S. in response to China’s rise are carrying out likely or not.

The “power transition” between the “rising power” and “hegemonic power” in history pushes forward the development of international politics. As the two most powerful countries in the Asia-Pacific region, China and the United States and their bilateral relations have influenced the Asia-Pacific region deeply. Since the end of the Cold War, China has strengthened its power and reduced the gap with the United States in terms of the “hard power” of international politics, i.e. economic and military power. The “power transition” between China and the United States is in progress and thus becomes a topic that deserves further research. It is also evident that the “power transition” between China and the United States has great impact on the Asia-Pacific region: the situation on the Korean peninsula, the Taiwan issue, and the South China Sea issue are all affected by Sino - U.S. relations. In the foreseeable future, Sino - U.S. relations will still maintain both competitive and cooperative. The stable development of Sino - U.S. relation is undoubtedly crucial to solving the“hot issues”and maintaining the peace of the Asia-Pacific region.

Australia’s national security is indivisible from its immediate geostrategic region and geography is the single most important determinant of Australian Strategy. Though there is no direct threat to the Australian continent in the Post-cold War Era, Australia’s national security will be threatened if there is a general breakdown in security of the wider region. Therefore, the first and foremost object of Australia’s defense strategy is to ensure that regional peace and stability are maintained. Growing economic relativities shape Australia’s strategic posture, thus drive Australia’s engagement with Asia-Pacific region. A complex five-sided balance of power is be emerging in the Asia-Pacific region involving China, Japan. India, Russia and United States. If the regional balance of power shifts towards a major Asian power, e.g. China, it will heighten Australia’s sense of insecurity and vulnerability. As many powers in Asia-Pacific region modernize their defense capabilities, there is a strategic concern of Australia’s military technology edge. The abovementioned changes in the strategic landscape have made Australia embark upon a four-dimensional strategy: (1) the maintenance of a strong military capability; (2)the maintenance of a security alliance with the United Stated; (3) adoption of a regional defense posture; (4)support for multilateral regional security mechanism such as the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF). With Australia’s strategic environment and Asia-Pacific security situation in the Post cold-War Era, Australia embarks upon a Asia-Pacific security strategy under the principles of national security strategy: (1) reinforcement of traditional alliance; (2) promotion of bilateral security relations with Asia-Pacific region nations; (3) support for multilateral regional security mechanism in Asia-Pacific region; (4) participation of UN peacekeeping. Strategically, Australia continues to see the United States as the ultimate security guarantor, regional balancer and as the linchpin of regional security. Australia also constructs a web of bilateral defense ties within it’s immediate region. For example, the signing of a security treaty with Indonesia, upgrading of security ties with Japan, and establishment of bilateral political-military dialogues with China, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines and India. In sense, Australia’s security links with United States served to facilitate greater Australian defense cooperation with South-East Asian nations. Australia supported the establishment of ARF in the belief that both multilateralism and bilateralism are essential for regional security and regional resilience. The consideration is that the mix of national, bilateral, regional and multilateral approaches should be seen as a multi-tiered interlocking regional security framework and each complements the other in defending Australia, and each progresses in parallel with the other. On the other hand, even if one element fails, others will sustain. In the consideration that unrest in the immediate nations will threaten Australia’s national security, Australia participates UN peacekeeping in it’s immediate nations, such as in East Timor.

In globalized era, international resource of tuna is facing extinct crisis so far. Although Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention (WCPFC) and International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) have done their best to improve the policies and measures of nursing for tunas, their effects were still restricted. Therefore, the thesis uses unprecedented and brand-new view which is the theory of international regimes from Professor Peter Kien-hong Yu to survey the condition of working of two international tuna organizations. It will be expected to protect and maintain the lives and surroundings of tunas. Finally, the research leads to three assumptions: First is that the function of working and the measures of nursing tunas were more perfect if you use the theory of Yu’s international regimes to survey WCPFC and ICCAT. Second is that the disadvantages and shortcomings of WCPFC and ICCAT would expose if you use this way. Third is that we can provide a new approach of research for international tuna organizations (such as WCPFC and ICCAT). Besides, it was a new breakthrough for the theories and concepts of international regimes if the process of analysis was successful. After the test of logic inference, the research show the international regimes can make the measures of nursing tunas of this two international tuna organizations more perfect and reveal the disadvantages of policies of managing tunas. Finally, the success of analysis makes the research of international tuna organizations more complete and also make the theories and concepts of international regimes have a new developmental direction.

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to empirically investigate the sustainability, determinants, and growth impact of current account deficit (CAD) in the six Pacific Island Economies (PIEs). Following the outbreak of Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2007, current account position of many economies around the world has deteriorated. Within the developing economies, the PIEs experienced exceptionally large CAD. This alongside escalating external debt levels since 2005, amidst volatile economic growth rates and political instability has placed pressured on fixed exchange regime and exacerbated economic vulnerability for the PIEs. Existing time series data suggest that CAD is not a new recent phenomenon, since these economies have been experiencing worsening current account position as early as the 1980s. Given the low levels of private investment and savings, large deficit in the PIEs is driven by fiscal imbalances and consumption spending. Furthermore, existing studies have shown that CAD reduces savings and raise external debt in the PIEs. In light of these macroeconomic policy challenges, this thesis undertakes three empirical studies on the sustainability, determinants, and growth effects of CAD in the PIEs in the post-independence period (1970-2013). The first empirical essay investigates the sustainability of CAD in the PIEs. In the first part of the essay, sustainability of CAD is investigated using qualitative approach that involves analysing changes in CAD relative to developments in different economic, political, and structural aspects of the economies over time. The analysis suggests that CAD is unsustainable. In the second part of the essay, linear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration test of Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (2001) and nonlinear ARDL cointegration test of Shin, Yu, and Greenwood-Nimmo (2014) are employed. It is found that necessary condition for intertemporal budget constraint (IBC) to hold is not met in the PIEs. In the third part of the essay, based on the sub-sample analysis (2007-2013), it is shown that CAD has been unsustainable in post-GFC period. The results are shown to be robust to use of alternative econometric methodology and choice of theoretical framework and variable measurement. In the fourth part of the essay, the traditional Husted (1992) model is extended to incorporate remittances, in order to examine its role in addressing unsustainable CAD in the PIEs. The empirical analysis indicates that: a) CAD in the PIEs has been on an unsustainable path over the last four decades; b) Consideration of economic, political, structural aspects of the economy enhances the analysis of current account sustainability; c) CAD in the post – GFC period has been unsustainable in the PIEs, suggesting that recent foreign borrowing made by the PIEs has been against an unsustainable external position; d) Remittances cannot help address unsustainable CAD in the PIEs. The second empirical essay investigates the determinants of CAD in the six PIEs using unbalanced panel dataset over the post-independence period. This essay extends upon previous work on developing economies; however, derives and uses a new broad reduced-form specification to investigate the underlying determinants of CAD in the PIEs. By resorting to non-stationary panel data analysis and accounting for possible cross-sectional dependency, cross-country heterogeneity, endogeneity, the essay finds that the real exchange rate is the major determinant of CAD in the PIEs. This finding is robust to a number of robustness checks such as: a) controlling for additional variables, nonlinearity and persistency; b) controlling for presence of interactive effects; c) controlling for different sample period; d) controlling for country-sample bias; e) controlling for the impact of the Asian Financial Crisis (AFC) and GFC; f) controlling for different variable measurements; and g) controlling for measurement errors and presence of outliers. The essay also finds that political instability interacts with the fiscal deficit and worsens the current account position of the PIEs. The third empirical essay investigates the impact of CAD in the balance of payment (BOP) for economic growth in the PIEs. While there has been emerging interest in CAD in an open economy macroeconomics context, its growth consequences are yet to be understood. Employing the theoretic framework of Thirlwall (1979) and recently developed unit root and cointegration test with multiple structural breaks, this essay shows the significance of addressing BOP constraint to achieve economic growth in the PIEs over the post-independence period. The results indicate that economic growth in majority of the PIEs over the last four decades have been constrained by CAD in the BOP. The three empirical essays have important implications from a theoretical, empirical and policy perspective. The major contribution of the first essay is that it illustrates that CAD in the PIEs has been unsustainable over the last four decades and even since the outbreak of the GFC. This does not only imply that recent foreign borrowing has been made against unsustainable external position but also suggests that past macroeconomic policy reforms have failed to address persistent CAD in the PIEs. More importantly, these findings warn that in absence of major policy reforms in the near future to improve external sector performance (that is, to boost exports earnings), the PIEs are likely to face serious challenges in meeting their external debt obligations. The major contribution of the second essay is that it derives and employs a new specification that incorporates recent theoretical developments and uses recently developed panel methods to investigate CAD for a developing region unexplored in the literature. The major implication of findings from the second essay is the need for political, fiscal and exchange rate reforms in the PIEs to ensure political stability, curb real exchange-rate overvaluation, and maintain fiscal discipline to address the region’s persistent CAD. The major contribution of the third essay is that it carefully analyses the time series and cointegration properties considering possible presence of structural breaks and shows the importance of addressing CAD in order to improve economic growth prospects in the PIEs. Thus, in order to relax the BOP constraint, policy makers should identify and develop sectors that could generate high-value exports (through establishments of tax free zones and provision of better transport infrastructure, etc) and improve export growth. Growth strategies by the PIEs that focus solely on supply-side factors (inputs, technology, etc) and ignore the BOP constraint are likely to result limited success.
