Chinas Angriff auf die Weltwirtschaft

Chinas …

Artikel von Nicole Bastian, Dana Heide und Stephan Scheuer mit Statement von Markus Taube, Handelsblatt, 26.2.2021
Chinas neue Wirtschaftsstrategie könnte die Weltwirtschaft verändern – der neue Fünfjahresplan sieht vor, weniger zu importieren, mehr Hightech zu exportieren, Technologieführerschaft anzustreben – das soll u.a. China von befürchteten US-Handelsbeschränkungen unabhängig machen, und hätte auch Auswirkungen auf Deutschland.
Vor allem die KP treibt diese Entwicklung voran (z.B. bei Künstlicher Intelligenz), die privaten Unternehmen seien trotz ihrer starken Stellung in ihren Zielen und Interessen durch die KP gleichgeschaltet und zögen mit, auch wegen staatlicher Subventionen, wird Markus Taube zitiert.

Book Review by Hannes Mosler

Review of: Top-Down Democracy in South Korea. By Erik Mobrand. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2019. 201 pp. ISBN: …

Review of: Top-Down Democracy in South Korea. By Erik Mobrand. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2019. 201 pp. ISBN: 9780295745473 (paper)
This book offers an insightful view of South Korea’s democratization and democracy, providing yet another buoy for scholars to navigate the country’s dynamic developments. Overall, Top-Down Democracy is quite a stimulating read that greatly contributes to the discussion on democracy in South Korea and elsewhere, and thus it should be available in any well-assorted East Asia library section.

Axel Klein’s documentary about Japanese candidates’ campaign in Tokyo during 2007 Upper House election now on YouTube
In July 2007, Axel Klein, then senior research fellow at the German Institute for Japanese Studies (Deutsches Institut für Japanstudien, DIJ) in Tokyo, filmed a documentary that covers the campaigns of those candidates who tried to win one of the five seats in Tokyo during the Upper House election in 2007. The documentary shows Japan’s electoral machinery in full steam and focuses on the question of how Japanese candidates try to appeal to voters. Pictures can now be streamed on YouTube:

Zi Wang publishes new article on Chinese migrants' wellbeing during Covid-19

Addressing migrants’ well-being during COVID-19: An analysis of Chinese communities’ heritage language schools in Germany. …

Addressing migrants’ well-being during COVID-19: An analysis of Chinese communities’ heritage language schools in Germany. In: Migration Studies, Dec. 2020
With each pandemic-induced lockdown, the (non)closure of schools becomes one of the most contested topics. Rightly so, because either way, students' education and wellbeing needs are affected. Migrant children are particularly vulnerable and deserve the attention of migration scholars and policymakers. Zi Wang studied how Chinese heritage language schools as community-based organisations addressed their young members' wellbeing needs during Germany's first lockdown. Results are now published in the journal Migration Studies (OUP), and featured in an interview with the European Commission-funded Marie Curie Alumni Association Annual Magazine.

Warum bei uns Ostasien studieren?

Wir beschäftigen uns mit China, Japan, Korea und Taiwan aus politikwissenschaftlicher, soziologischer und wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Perspektive. Unser BA-Studiengang Moderne Ostasienstudien (BA MOAS) unterscheidet sich von Japanologie (oder Japanstudien), Koreanistik (Koreastudien) und Sinologie (Chinastudien), denn bei uns steht das gegenwärtige Ostasien im Mittelpunkt. Sie lernen bei uns eine von drei Fachdisziplinen (Politikwissenschaft, Soziologie oder Wirtschaftswissenschaft) und eine von drei Fremdsprachen (Chinesisch, Japanisch oder Koreanisch). Ein ganzes Jahr studieren Sie zudem an einer unserer Partneruniversitäten in Ostasien. Sie werden Teil eines Studiengangs, der sich durch gute Betreuung und studierfreundliche Gruppengrößen auszeichnet, und das in der Region Düsseldorf/Niederrhein, die in Deutschland die höchste Dichte an Einrichtungen, insbesondere Firmen, aus Ostasien aufweist.
