Abstract:

"June 2002" Bibliography: leaves 229-270. This thesis examines the changes in diplomacy of China, the West, Tibet and India from 1911 to 1951, while Tibet functioned as an independent country, and during 1951 to 1959 while under Chinese control. Tibet maintained its own currency, government, armed forces and way of life until 1959. The thesis also examines the cultural shifts in the political, social and military spheres in these countries. It assumes that the general world trend in political life has been towards increasingly intolerant and extreme politics. If Tibet remains part of China with little chance of resuming independence, it is because the Chinese government and people were quicker to adopt radical Western philosophies than the Tibetans were.

Abstract:

Lorsqu'en 1950 la République populaire de Chine envahit le Tibet, pays indépendant de facto depuis 1911, la communauté internationale n'émet que de timides protestations. Quel est son rôle et son action, bien souvnt caractérisés par l'ambiguité, dans un conflit qui plonge ses raciens au cœur du XIXe siècle? Peut-on affirmer que le Tibet, au nom d'intérêts politiques et stratégiques qui le dépassent est un pays sacrifié pour la communauté internationale ? Victime du jeu des puissances, le pays des neiges se retrouve isolé en 1950 face à la république populaire de Chine. L'Inde, la Grande-Bretagne et les Etats-Unis assistent en toute connaissance de cause à la disparition d'un Eatta souverain. La cohabitation entre la Chine communsite et le Tibet prend brutalement fin en 1959 avec la fuite du dalaï-lama en Inde. Bien que celle-ci soit devenue le refuge de milliers de Tibétains fuyant leur pays, Nehru fait le choix de sacrifier le Tibet au nom de l'amitié sino-indienne. Le toit du monde se retrouve alors au cœur de al grande croisade menée par Washington et ses alliés contre le communisme. Cette période, caractérisée par le double langage et l'ambiguité, prend fin en 1971, lorsque l'administration de Nixon décide de se rapprocher de Pékin. La fermeture du pays pendant la révolution culturelle aidant, l'opinion, d'abord émue par le sort du Pays des neiges, finit par se désintéresser de son sort et le laisse sombrer dans l'oubli.

Abstract:

La non-resolution du probleme sino-tibetain depuis 1950 pose la question de savoir s'il s'agit simplement d'un probleme concernant les affaires interieures de la republique populaire de chine ou s'il s'agit d'une reelle question de droit international. La question sino-tibetaine imbrique en effet des considerations d'ordre politique, diplomatique, economique, meme si elle releve d'abord d'une situation dramatique en matiere de droits de l'homme. Notre debat constitue donc en une reflexion sur l'utilite et l'efficacite de l'onu a travers la question sino-tibetaine.

Abstract:

Actuellement, le Tibet est une " région autonome " de la Chine, et ce en vertu de la Constitution de la République populaire. Depuis des années, les Tibétains accusent la Chine d'avoir pénétré au Tibet alors que celui-ci était un état indépendant. Le problème se pose réellement depuis 1950, date de l'arrivée au pouvoir de Mao et de l'entrée de l'armée de libération populaire au Tibet. La question qui se pose alors, est de savoir si le Tibet était indépendant à l'époque des faits, or, lorsqu'on étudie son histoire, on s'aperçoit que la relation sino-tibétaine est largement basée sur un concept proprement oriental qu'est le chö-yön. Cette relation a souvent mal été interprétée et est à la base de la revendication de souveraineté de la Chine. Son droit à l'autodétermination devient un droit à l'autonomie par la force des choses et notamment en raison de la politique démographique chinoise et du transfert de population. A l'heure actuelle, sans pour autant éluder la question de son droit à l'indépendance, une réelle autonomie paraît plus appropriée.

Abstract:

Analyse des relations entre pouvoir politique et pouvoir religieux chez les hani, l'une des principales ethnies minoritaires de la chine du sud. Mise en évidence du fait que les représentations religieuses et les principes qui en découlent concernant la légitimation de l'autorité, fondes sur la reconnaissance d'une vertu et la capacité d'action sur la surnature (et notamment les dieux du sol), reposent sur une structure cohérente dont les éléments constitutifs trouvent leurs équivalents dans les modes de pensée archaïques de la chine antique, tel qu'ils nous sont révélés aujourd'hui au travers de l'exégèse des classiques. A travers cette comparaison, présentation du rôle fondamental de la légitimité née de la soumission des dieux du sol dans les processus de centralisation politique débouchant sur la formation des états en Asie, et mise en évidence, dans la représentation des états traditionnels de cette région du monde, de schémas culturels préexistants a l'état et utilises sciemment par ceux-ci au cours de leur développement historique, a des fins de consolidation du pouvoir
The research mainly analyses the relationship between political and religious forms of authority among the hani, one of major ethnic minorities of south-china. It focuses on the fact that the religious system and the traditional way of legitimating authority, primarily based on the concept of "virtue", and a capacity to act on the supernatural world (especially the gods of the "soil" or "eath"), represent a coherent structure that can be compared to the frame of reference underlying the conception of legitimate power in ancient china. The comparative study thus reveals that a very ancient and widespread mode of legitimacy, based ont he submission of the "earth-god", or "god of the soil", seems to play a key role in various processes of political centralization, leading to the formation of state. Historical documents, taken in different parts of asia, further demonstrate that this process is not restricted to the chinese world, and that everywhere deliberate manipulations of such concepts were essential for the representatives of the central power to be accepted by the subjugated peoples as their legitimate rulers

L'inversion des vitesses de phase des ondes de rayleigh, mode fondamental, pour des periodes de 25 a 100 s, avec des seismes localises en asie centrale et enregistres a des stations aux distances telesismiques en europe, a donne des cartes de variations laterales de structure dans la croute et la lithosphere au tibet et les regions adjacentes. Les variations laterales des ondes de surface montrent un gradient de vitesse fort de part et d'autre d'une zone a faible vitesse (lvz) centree dans la region de chang tang. La limite nord de la lvz coupe la frontiere nord du plateau tibetain (altyn tagh et kunlun) pour s'etendre dans le sud-ouest des bassins du tarim et du qaidam. Une etude en parallele de la geologie, du volcanisme et des bassins sedimentaires du plateau tibetain montre qu'il existe une relation entre structure et vitesses de phase. La zone a faible vitesse se localise entre 35 et 50 km de profondeur et correspond au volcanisme miocene actuel du tibet nord central. Les bassins sedimentaires, avec une grande epaisseur de sediments cenozoiques ralentissent les vitesses en surface. Les forts gradients de vitesse observes au sud et au nord-est sont compatibles avec la subduction continentale de la plaque indienne sous la plaque asie et suggere une situation identique dans le nord-est, au niveau du kunlun. Un modele de formation du plateau tibetain est propose, avec des subductions intracontinentales principalement a pendage sud a l'interieur du plateau, de plus en plus recentes vers le nord

Abstract:

In response to Tibetan social pressures in the 11th century, Atisa initiated a renewal of Buddhist monasticism that resulted in all Buddhist praxis outside of meditation being strictly framed by attitudes and behaviors informed by love and compassion. Atisa's teachings are exemplified in pithy sayings that point to the heart of bodhisattva practice, and this mind training practice developed into a tradition in the period immediately following his passing. The success of the method, and of the emulation of Atisa as exemplar of a perfect bodhisattva, led to the adoption of mind training throughout Tibetan Buddhism. "Tibetan Mind Training: Tradition and Genre" explains the relation between a native Tibetan literary genre and monastic Buddhist practice found in the 14th century compilation Mind Training: The Great Collection (theg pa chen po blo sbyong rgya tsa). The introduction provides context and presents methodology. Chapter one argues that 'blo sbyong' should be translated as 'mind training.' Chapter two has two broad arguments: a rebuttal of a conception of mind training as an essentially psychological preparation for other practices; and an explanation of its praxis as the interaction of mind and real objects. Chapter three explains the relation of mind training praxis and tradition, with reference to Atisa's reforms. Chapter four explains some characteristics of the literary genre of mind training.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to examine China and India's national interests with regard to Tibet, and the ways in which these interests have been shaped and pursued. While drawing on the sizeable body of academic literature which already addresses this topic, this thesis contends that the conclusions which have been reached to date have tended to be arbitrary, insofar as studies have suffered from a lack of theoretical and conceptual clarity on 'national interest'. The intention here is therefore to discuss the two countries' stances using a more rigorous analytical framework based on explicit theoretical and conceptual foundations. From a rationalist and critical constructivist perspective in tandem, it attempts to identify and compare the rationales behind China and India's pursuit of national interest vis-à-vis Tibet, and to examine the domestic processes of interest formation concerning the Tibet issue in elite discourse. To develop a rationalist account, content analysis is used to argue that both countries are primarily concerned about the security implications of the Tibetan question. For China, Tibet is a domestic issue, and symbolises internal integrity and the modernisation of the nation, especially with regard to minority areas. For India, Tibet remains a useful means of containing China, especially during negotiations over border disputes. To complement these findings, critical discourse analysis is used to develop a constructivist account examining the role of nationalism in the processes whereby elites have shaped, justified and pursued their national interests. This account suggests that the Communist Party of China has constructed a myth of Chinese nationhood partly in order to realise its interests vis-à-vis Tibet. The CPC has drawn on Han nationalism to fortify the concept of the Chinese nation, and on propaganda about development to neutralise Tibetan nationalism. In the case of India, the elite, while acknowledging their inability to contain China with the Tibet card, have attempted to boost nationalism by emphasising their generous, democratic and peaceful approach towards Tibet, and thereby comparing themselves favourably with China. The thesis makes an original contribution to knowledge in two main ways: it departs from the existing literature by taking a constructivist approach to China and India's national interest with regard to Tibet; and it is the first empirical study in this research area to explore the role of nationalism as a strategic means of shaping and pursuing national interest.

Abstract:

The present study consists of a full translation and analysis of the three main versions of the Section on Law and State, a chapter on Tibetan imperial law and administration found in the mid-16th century Mkhas pa'i dga' ston by Dpa'-bo Gtsuglag Phreng-ba, and in the Rgya bod kyi chos 'byung rgyas pa of Mkhas-pa Lde'u and the Chos 'byung chen po bstan pa'i rgyal mtshan of Lde'u Jo-sras, which both date to the mid to late-13th century. While the post-dynastic Tibetan historical tradition attributes this entire body of legal and administrative reforms to Emperor Srong-btsan Sgam-po (c.605-649), the individual legal and administrative catalogues contained in the Section on Law and State, when subjected to close analysis, can be dated to several different periods. The principal aim of this analysis is to underline the early Tibetan antecedents for the catalogues contained in the Section on Law and State. By relating the catalogues of the Section on Law and State to Old Tibetan sources, this analysis describes in detail the legal and administrative practices of the Tibetan Empire (c.600-c.850). Among the topics covered by this analysis are historical geography and the 'nationalisation' of clan territory, social stratification, technological innovation and legal culture. The Section on Law and State is not limited solely to law and administration, however, and also offers insights regarding cultural institutions such as religious practices and Tibetan funerary culture. Taken together, the scattered and fragmentary catalogues that make up the Section on Law and State, many of which ultimately derive from manuals and official records from the imperial period, constitute a rare juridical corpus of the Tibetan Empire. As such, it furnishes important and detailed information about the legal and administrative culture of the Tibetan Empire, and constitutes a fundamental source for Tibetan social history. The preservation of such documents within Tibet's postdynastic religious histories underlines the persistence of Tibetan political theory, according to which divine rulers, Buddhist or otherwise, must govern according to the just traditions of their forebears.

Abstract:

The Gangdese belt in southern Tibet forms the eastern section of the Trans- Himalayan magmatic belt. Until recently, the timing of magmatism in the Gangdese belt was poorly known due to the limited number of geochronological studies. Results of this study provide new insights into both the tectonomagmatic and metallogenic evolution of the southern Tibet. Six major magmatic events (Triassic and older, Early-Middle Jurassic, Late Jurassic, middle Cretaceous, latest Cretaceous-Eocene, and Oligocene-Miocene) are recognized within the southern Gangdese belt, each reflecting a specific paleotectonic setting. Early-Middle Jurassic magmatism occurred in a continental marginal arc tectonic setting, with magmatism related to south-dipping subduction of the Paleo-Tethys beneath the Lhasa terrane. Late Jurassic magmas were derived from a mixed magma source in an extensional magmatic arc setting, possibly during rollback of the Paleo-Tethyan slab and opening of the Neo-Tethys to the south of the Lhasa terrane. Continental arc magmatism, dominated by widespread and voluminous plutonism (Gangdese) and volcanism (Linzizong), began in Early Cretaceous time due to the onset of the north-dipping subduction of Neo-Tethys oceanic slab under the southern edge of the Lhasa terrane. This phase of subduction ended after the middle Eocene collision of the Indian and Eurasia continental plates. An apparent increase in magmatic activity around 50 Ma is attributed to the possible Neo-Tethyan slab rollback and breakoff. Cretaceous-Eocene magmatism includes a hiatus of magmatic activity from 80 Ma to 68 Ma. Miocene magmatism is post-collisional with adakite-like compositions possibly generated from partial melting of an enriched lower crust due to delamination of the thickened lithospheric mantle and asthenospheric upwelling after the collision. At least three major metallogenic epochs (Early-Middle Jurassic, Cretaceous-Eocene and Miocene) within the belt have been recognized, including the world-class Jurassic Xietongmen Cu-Au and Miocene Qulong Cu-Mo porphyry deposits. The Early-Middle Jurassic event includes formation of two major porphyry Cu-Au deposits (Xietongmen and Newtongmen) in the Xietongmen district, reflecting a major but previously unrecognized metallogenic event. This has global economic importance because the rate of new discoveries of large deposits within better explored belts elsewhere in the world has decreased significantly in the last few decades.

Abstract:

Brucellosis, caused by members of the genus Brucella, is a highly contagious production-limiting disease and one of the most important zoonosis in many countries of the world, including China. Prior to the study outlined in this thesis, few studies on the epidemiology of brucellosis in Tibet had been undertaken. Consequently, the aims of this study were to determine the epidemiological characteristics and economic impact of brucellosis in yaks in Tibet. In a study examining historical data, significant differences were found in the spatial and temporal distribution of brucellosis in both livestock and humans (p<0.05). In the period from 2011 to 2013 there was a positive correlation between the seroprevalence in livestock and humans (r=0.93). Brucellosis was shown to be more common in the spring/summer seasons when parturition occurred. A cross-sectional serological study of 1,523 randomly selected yaks belonging to 181 herders was conducted in Damxung, Maizhokunggar and Yadong counties. Sera were tested using a Rose Bengal Test (RBT) and a Competitive immune-enzymatic assay (C-ELISA) and the results interpreted in parallel. The individual yak seroprevalence was 2.8% (95%CI: 2.0, 3.7) with a herd level seroprevalence of 18.2% (95%CI: 12.9, 24.6). At the individual animal level, age and production system were significantly associated with seropositivity in a multivariable logistic regression model. The odds of Brucella infection were significantly higher in older yaks (3-5 years old, OR=4.51; 95%CI: 1.53, 19.29; >5 years old, OR=3.89; 95%CI: 1.23, 17.21) compared to younger yaks (<3 years old). The odds of seropositivity for yaks managed under an agro-pastoral production system was 2.9 (95%CI: 1.48, 5.86) times higher compared to those managed under a pastoral production system. At the herd level an association between seropositivity and a history of herd-abortions was observed (OR=4.98, 95%CI: 1.48, 16.62). Surprisingly vaccination of calves in Pali township of Yadong county was not associated with a lower level of infection (p=0.49 and p=0.99 for individual and herd level data, respectively). A total of 317 yak pastoralists were interviewed using a structured questionnaire to determine their knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) relating to brucellosis. Although 60.6% of the respondents had heard of the disease, there was an overall low level of knowledge about the disease. Pastoralists did, however, adopt management/husbandry practices which would reduce transmission of the disease to humans and other animals. Multivariable logistic modelling showed that better knowledge was predicted by age (≥50 years old, OR=1.98; CI: 1.15, 3.46), production system practiced (pastoral, OR=10.57; CI: 5.47, 21.54), education level (primary/secondary school, OR=2.19; CI: 1.22, 3.96) and number of persons in a household (≥6 persons, OR=2.77; CI: 1.59, 4.91). Difference in attitudes and practices were predicted by education level (primary/secondary school, OR=1.72; CI: 1.03, 2.88), number of persons in a household (≥6 persons, OR=2.80; CI: 1.68, 4.76) and production system practiced (pastoral, OR=2.43; CI: 1.38, 4.33). An economic evaluation of brucellosis found that the disease could result in a loss of US$ 3,126,256.68 (95%CI: US$2,006,644.50, US$4,559,176.80) in the total population of yaks over a six-year period in Damxung and Maizhokunggar counties and Pali township of Yadong county in Tibet, with an average loss per yak estimated at US$ 1.42 (95%CI: 0.91, 2.07) annually. Through benefit-cost analysis, vaccination was found to be the most economically sound control method with a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 3.19 (95% CI: 2.17, 4.66) and a net present value (NPV) of US$313,354.87 (95%CI: US$157,678.46, US$541,061.80). In a sensitivity analysis the NPV of the vaccination control program was shown to be most sensitive to the loss from an abortion. In contrast the price of yaks that were slaughtered had the largest influence on the NPV for the test-and-slaughter control program and the combination control program (vaccination and test-and-slaughter programs). It is concluded that both public health education and implementation of a routine vaccination program are needed to effectively control brucellosis in yaks on the Tibetan plateau.

Abstract:

Le basin du Qaidam, situé sur la bordure nord du Plateau Tibétain est unique au monde en ce qu’il représente le bassin intracontinental le plus profond bien que situé sur le plus haut plateau et la plus épaisse croute continentale actuels. Comprendre le développement et l’évolution de ce bassin en lien avec la collision Inde-Asie a des implications multiples pour la géologie du Tibet en particulier et la tectonique continentale en général. De nombreuses études incluant de la thermochronologie, de la paléobotanique, du paléomagnétisme, de la paléoaltimétrie, de la sédimentologie et de la géologie structurale se sont intéressées à l’histoire tectonique et topographique de cette région. Toutefois la topographie initiale de la région actuellement représentée par le Plateau Tibétain ainsi que les premiers stades de développement du plateau restent méconnus et très débattus. Les travaux présentés ici sont basés sur des données de terrain, de sismique 2D et 3D, de géochimie, de géochronologie détritique, de sédimentologie et d’analyse d’images satellitaires. Ils décrivent: 1) l’évolution cénozoïque conjointe du bassin du Qaidam et de la chaine des Eastern Kunlun ; 2) les relations entre la sédimentation dans le bassin du Qaidam et la tectonique le long de la faille de l’Altyn Tagh ; 3) une estimation quantitative de l’extrusion latérale du nord Tibet les long du système Altyn Tagh – Qilian Shan ; 4) la nature et la typologie du bassin du Qaidam. Je démontre que la chaîne du Kunlun formait un relief en érosion au Paléocène et que la zone de dépôt du bassin du Qaidam s’est élargie vers le sud jusqu’à l’Oligocène. Dès le Miocène inférieur le SO du bassin du Qaidam était limité par un système tectonique décrochant. L’accroissement du relief dans les chaines du Kunlun et de l’Altyn Tagh entraine alors un isolement puis un rétrécissement du bassin. Je suggère que la faille de l’Altyn Tagh qui forme la bordure nord du Plateau, a accommodé environs 360 km de déplacement depuis sont initiation au Miocène inférieur. Cette déformation est prise en compte par du décrochement et de l’épaississement dans les Qilian Shan, de l’épaississement crustal dans les Qinling et de l’extension dans le système de grabens de Chine du Nord. Enfin, je conclu que le bassin du Qaidam est contrôlé conjointement par les failles décrochantes de l’Altyn Tagh et du Kunlun Est. La superposition dans le temps et l’espace des effets de ces deux décrochements majeurs durant le Cénozoïque a contrôlé l’évolution du bassin et la répartition des réserves d’huile et de gaz
The Qaidam basin, located within the northern Tibetan plateau, is the deepest intracontinental basin, yet located in the highest plateau with the thickest continental crust. Understanding how this peculiar basin developed has broad implications for the Tibetan geology in particular and for continental tectonics in general. Many approaches have been used to decipher the tectonic and topographic history of that region, however, the initial topography of the area now represented by the northern Tibetan plateau, as well as the early stages of development of the present day topography remain poorly constrained and highly debated. In order to better understand the Cenozoic evolution of the Qaidam basin and its surrounding regions (including Eastern Kunlun Range to the south, Altyn Tagh Range to the northwest, and Qilian Shan to the northeast), four critical issues are addressed in this thesis: 1) the Cenozoic joint tectonic evolution of the Qaidam basin and the Eastern Kunlun Range; 2) the interplay between the sedimentation within the Qaidam basin and the active tectonics within the Altyn Tagh Range; 3) a quantitative estimate of the lateral extrusion along the Altyn Tagh Fault-Qilian Shan tectonic system; 4) the nature and classification of the Qaidam basin. I suggest that the SW Qaidam basin has been bordered by a series of strike-slip faults to the south since the Early Miocene, rather than, as previously suggested by a continuous northward or southward thrusting system. Based on U-Pb dating (LA-ICP-MS) of detrital zircons collected from 4 sections (Paleocene to Holocene) within the southwestern Qaidam basin combined with provenance analysis and new seismic profile interpretation, I demonstrated that the Eastern Kunlun Range was already exhumed prior to the Paleocene. I show that the Qaidam basin was widening southward during thet early Cenozoic period (Paleocene to Oligocene). From Oligocene the relief of the Eastern Kunlun and Altyn Tagh ranges increased, leading to isolation and narrowing of the Qaidam basin from Miocene to the present. Along the northern edge of the basin, I identified the Tula-Huatugou and Anxi-Eboliang regions as residual parts of the original Qaidam basin. I suggest that the Altyn Tagh Fault has experienced a total of ~360 km of displacement since its Early Eocene initiation. Based on this ~360 km northeastward migration of the relatively rigid Qaidam block along the Altyn Tagh Fault and 3D isovolumetric balance of the crustal deformation within the Altyn Tagh Fault – Qilian Shan system, I demonstrate that 250 ± 28 km (43.8~49.4 %) of N20E directed crustal shortening and an additional ~250 to ~370 km of eastward motion of the Qilian Shan crust must be accounted for by strike-slip faulting in the Qilian Shan and crustal thickening in the Qinling area, as well as extension in the adjoining North China block graben systems

Abstract:

This thesis explores China's relations with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, from 1991 to 2005, contributing to the body of knowledge by arguing that China's relations with post-Soviet Central Asia were shaped by security and economic imperatives in Xinjiang, home to Muslim Turkic nationalities who have historically challenged Beijing's jurisdiction.
As discussed in Chapter One, after 1949, the Communist Party sought to bring Xinjiang firmly within Beijing's orbit, ending a 150-year long period during which Beijing's hold over Xinjiang periodically faltered. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, coupled with instability in Afghanistan, led to new challenges to Beijing's authority.
Chapter Two examines China's relations with Central Asia from 1992 to 1996. In the post-Cold War order characterized by US primacy, China envisioned Central Asia as an arena of cooperation between China, Russia, and the independent republics. However, the republics became fertile ground for transnational Islamist movements. China feared spillover into Xinjiang; consequently, China extended economic cooperation to the impoverished republics with the understanding that they would suppress emigre Uighur organizations. Bilateral economic cooperation was also important for Xinjiang, which benefited from cross-border trade.
Chapter Three examines Sino-Central Asian relations from 1996 to 2001, exploring the development of the Shanghai Five mechanism in 1996 between China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, which initially addressed confidence building, but after 1998, focused on regional security. This was important for China, since in 1996/1997, Xinjiang experienced instability that was exacerbated by the independence of Central Asia. Competition over the region's energy is also examined, which contributed to international rivalry.
Chapter Four examines Sino-Central Asian relations from 2001 to 2005. In June 2001, the Shanghai Accord signatories, and Uzbekistan, established the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). While envisioned as a forum for wide-ranging cooperation, combating "terrorism, separatism, and extremism," was an immediate priority. Following the attacks on September 11, 2001, the United States sought a military presence in Central Asia that temporarily undermined China's influence, heightening China's concerns over energy security. China's response was to gradually deepen relations with the republics in the energy and security fields.

Abstract:

Previous research has described EU foreign policy as becoming mediatized, referring to a process where the communication of politics is being adjusted to changes in the media landscape. When more information is available to the citizens through a variety of media, political actors have to compete for the citizens' attention. Political actors are then using 'media logic', using tactics such as storytelling, simplifying and emphasising conflicts and differences, at the expense of 'political logic'. Political logic represents the use of traditional political values, institutions and consensus-building. The EU's communications about China can be seen as a disputed case, as a use of media logic could be helpful in uniting the member states in a common strategy towards China, as this has been a challenge for the EU. It could also, however, be avoided by the EU, as it could lead to the EU harming their relationship with China, as well as the economic interests of the member states. The results show that between the years 2016-2020, media logic is increasingly used, as well as becoming more polarising and visualising with time. This could be a result of the EU-China relationship becoming strained by conflicts with China on human rights issues, but also be a part of a communication strategy where the EU attempts to unite the member states, as well as gain legitimacy for its foreign policy.

Abstract:

My dissertation argues that the United States and China employ diplomacy to secure international cooperation, but that their domestic politics render it more elusive. International relations theory regards talk as cheap. It argues that states cannot employ verbal communication to overcome structural conditions that ostensibly favor conflict. Can a security-seeking state use diplomacy to affect another’s assessment of shared interests and elicit substantive cooperation? To answer this question, my first paper analyzes original datasets of US-China diplomatic exchanges and American assessments of shared interests with China. I find that, as diplomats have long observed, diplomacy is a forum for states to exchange concessions that render both sides better off. Chinese diplomacy improves American assessments of shared interests and increases the probability of bilateral cooperation. My second paper develops a theory of diversionary aggression in autocracies. When rent transfers to political elites decline, leadership challenges become more likely. Autocrats may inoculate themselves against these challenges by courting popular support with diversionary foreign policy and nationalist propaganda. Using original data on elite transfers, diplomatic interactions, and propaganda from China, I find broad support for the theory. As much as 40% of China’s conflict initiation toward the United States appears to be diversionary. My third paper argues that American congressional politics reduce the president’s ability to secure international cooperation. Using an original dataset of legislative hostility toward China, I find that when Congress introduces legislation hostile to China, China penalizes the president by reducing its willingness to cooperate by a factor of four. Most broadly, these results suggest that the benefits accorded to democracies in international relations may be circumscribed under some conditions.

Abstract:

Is anti-China rhetoric an effective strategy in U.S. presidential campaigns? If the answer is Yes, then to what extent does anti-China rhetoric affect them? If the answer is No, then why have so many presidential candidates used anti-China rhetoric in recent campaigns? Is anti-China rhetoric only election-driven? Is it also policy-driven? Do presidential candidates use anti-China rhetoric to seek voter support, as well as propose changes in U.S. foreign policy towards China?

Conventional wisdom and scholars like Robert Sutter suggest that foreign policy has little effect on American presidential elections and anti-foreign rhetoric by presidential candidates does not matter to American foreign policy and foreign relations. In this dissertation, however, I argue the opposite that anti-China rhetoric exercises significant influence on American presidential elections and foreign policy towards China. The dissertation addresses two fundamental questions: 1) what is the effect of anti-China rhetoric on American presidential elections? And 2) what is the effect of anti-China rhetoric on American foreign policy towards China, American public opinion towards China, and U.S.-China relationship? To answer the first question about elections, I focus on televised campaign commercials and statistically estimate the effect of anti-China rhetoric on seeking voter support in the presidential election. The data I examine come from the “Wisconsin Advertising Project” and various election polls in 2008. I answer the second question about foreign policy by exploring the contents of anti-China rhetoric in campaign activities including ads, candidates’ speeches and debates, and public statements about policy towards China and how that rhetoric affects subsequent American foreign policy towards China, as well as public opinion of China and U.S.-China relations. My statistical and qualitative analyses find that airing ads using anti-China rhetoric increases the presidential candidate’s voter support in target states; that the administration is more likely to make tough foreign policies towards China when there is more anti-China rhetoric by presidential candidates; and thirdly, that anti-China rhetoric during the election year negatively affects American opinions of China but produces a positive impact on U.S.-China relations.
