Cooper, Daisy. "Thinking in a tank : a comparative study on the role and impact of policy institutes in selected Asian polities." Thesis, The University of Hong Kong (Pokfulam, Hong Kong), 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10722/211116.
Full textAbstract:
Think tanks are public policy research institutes that seek to play a role in making or influencing policy. While each think tank serves a specific purpose, they all share a common vision to improve their respective spectrum, as well as being a source of new ideas and research. However, think tanks in Asia are misunderstood, rarely acknowledged, and under-researched.
This study is a cross-polity and audience comparison, primarily using semi-structured interviews, grounded theory qualitative analysis and ethnography, to gain insight into the perceptive of think tanks, academics, media, policy makers, and chambers of commerce in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, to answer what role and impact local think tanks have on the policy making process, and to explore why.
Findings revealed six themes and 21 sub-themes. Three sub-themes emerged as having been discussed across all three polities by all five sources. The sub-themes in the order of highest reference count frequency first were: “[Think tanks have] Limited effectiveness in the policy making process” followed by “Research and dissemination [as a role]”, and “Limited media presence except for a few standout think tanks”.
Overall there were distinct differences between polities, which may, in most part, be due to varying political development in polities. There were also distinct differences between sources - possibly as the role one plays shapes their perception of issues. The source differences were generally consistent across polities, suggesting that source differences are independent of polity differences.published_or_final_version

Douglas-Jones, Rachel Catherine. "Locating ethics : capacity building, ethics review and research governance across Asia." Thesis, Durham University, 2012. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/6970/.
Full textAbstract:
Research ethics has become integrated into what it means to conduct good science. This thesis is about the nature of that integration, which I argue is not neutral, carrying with it ideas of duty, moral obligations, organisational mechanisms, and processes of monitoring. For developing countries to participate in global research, the pre-requisite of ethical review has necessitated a growth in capacity building exercises. The chapters aim to elucidate ethnographically the activities and implications of ‘capacity building’ activities in biomedical research ethics, through following the trainings, assessments and networking of the Forum of Ethics Review Committees of Asia and the Pacific (FERCAP), a Non-Governmental Organisation. The work provides a critical reflection on the spread and uptake of ethics, contributing particularly to literatures in medical anthropology, organisational studies, and development anthropology. Drawing on material from ethnographic fieldwork with the NGO in Sri Lanka, Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan and mainland China over 12 months between March 2009 and November 2010, it advances an argument that the uptake of ethics through forms such as the Ethics Review Committee implicates social relations in new forms of management, with the moralities assumed to be part of ethics attaching to varied understandings of obligation, accountability, trust and personhood. Central to the analysis is the exploration of the co-existence of standardisation with practices of differentiation within the activities of FERCAP, a tension explored through a theoretical framework informed by attention to fractal imageries replicated across the settings of research.

Garred, Michelle G. "Conflict sensitivity and religious associations : an action research journey in Southeast Asia." Thesis, Lancaster University, 2011. http://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/50443/.
Full textAbstract:
The associational sector has gained recent prominence, and scholars increasingly recognize the dualistic potential of civil society and social capital to promote either peace or violence. However, research to date gives little attention to the large proportion of associations that influence conflict unintentionally, as an externality produced during the pursuit of other goals. This emergent cluster of theory, which centers on the work of Robert Putnam and Ashutosh Varshney, tends to generalize the nature and causes of such externalities in ways that overlook associational complexity and dynamism. Therefore this thesis explores the applicability of conflict sensitivity, an organizational planning approach that originated in the humanitarian aid sector, for understanding and improving the social impact of religious associations in conflict-vulnerable multifaith societies. The author undertook action research with two local interfaith associations in Mindanao and Singapore to test the usage of the ‘Do No Harm’ conflict sensitivity framework among religious audiences in settings of ethno-religious conflict. More than 160 Protestant, Roman Catholic and Muslim leaders contributed empirically through participatory social analysis, surveys and interviews. The study finds that ‘Do No Harm’ holds relevance and usefulness for religious associations, yet it requires conceptual and practical adaptation of its impact analysis components. Further, while the data support the importance in existing theory of bridging or intercommunal associational structures, there is strong evidence that individual mindsets and intentional human agency are equally central in shaping associational impact. Further, the public prominence of religion in Southeast Asia contrasts with Western-influenced liberal democratic assumptions, exposing a ‘religion gap’ in existing associational theory. Religious culture is shown to be a major influence shaping the formation and incipient change of group identities through associational life. Thus it is argued that wherever religion plays a public role, it should be consistently integrated into studies of associational social impact.

Full textAbstract:
The site of Zhoukoudian has been studied for over 70 years. During this time, a great deal of change has occurred in both analytical methodology and paradigmatic models concerning human prehistory. Zhoukoudian presents an opportunity to study both issues of early hominid behavior and the evolution of palaeoanthropological, geological, dating methodology and palaeoenvironmental research over the last eight decades. Zhoukoudian was the first site to exhibit verifiable evidence for the presence of early hominids in East Asia (more than 45 individuals). The site has been established as containing Middle and Upper Pleistocene components. The majority of these (e.g., Locality 1) fall within a Middle Pleistocene context, while the Upper Cave represents an Upper Pleistocene occupation of the site. Modem studies are suggested in light of the recent reworking of some fundamental concepts at Zhoukoudian. These include evidence for hunting vs. scavenging, fire usage and duration of occupation of the site by early hominids, all of which need reevaluation.

Cuttler, Richard Thorburn Howard. "Human populations and former sub-aerial landscapes of the Arabian Gulf : research and conservation." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2014. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/4953/.
Full textAbstract:
Between 30 and 14ka the Arabian Gulf was a river valley possibly comprising large freshwater lakes, marshland and estuaries. As a possible environmental refugia this landscape is important, particularly as prehistoric research in Arabia has yet to find any “evidence for human presence between 38 and 11ka” (Bretzke et al. 2013), poignantly at the same time as the Gulf became free of marine influence. This might suggest that attempting to piece together the jigsaw of regional prehistory without reference to the former sub-aerial Arabian Gulf landscape is to ignore a significant part of the puzzle. This research combines the results of excavations on Neolithic Littoral Gulf Ubaid sites with marine fieldwork in order to investigate late Palaeolithic/early Neolithic dispersals. This is contextualised through geomorphology, hydrology, geophysics and environmental analysis. This research has highlighted thousands of new sites in Qatar of all periods, and put in place effective methodologies for conservation and management of both the terrestrial environment and the Arabian Gulf submerged landscape. Importantly, terrestrial research has identified landscape signatures that informs research into the submerged Gulf landscape.

Bridges, Robert Leamon. "An Active Study of a Roller Coaster Project in Asia." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2010. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/1670.
Full textAbstract:
A roller coaster manufacturer became aware that improperly heat treated track couplings were sent to a construction site for assembly. Concerns were that suspect couplings might not meet the engineering specifications and could be vulnerable to sudden failure. A testing company in Oak Ridge, TN that specializes in in-situ and laboratory mechanical testing was contacted by the manufacturer for help in this endeavor. The construction company elected to enlist a local testing firm to perform field tests on the components instead of the company in Oak Ridge. The test methods used are incapable of providing quantitative results that could be measured to the engineering specifications, making it unlikely to identify anything but the worst material conditions. This study is an example that the need for accurate analysis is very important. The manufacturer reported that 60 couplings were replaced, but it is presently unknown how many should have been replaced.

Hatherall, Bethan. "Causes of tuberculosis stigma in South Asia : developing explanatory theories through multi-country qualitative research." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2014. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/8993/.
Full textAbstract:
Although tuberculosis (TB) stigma has been widely reported in South Asia and elsewhere, few interventions have been introduced to reduce it. Whilst it is recognised that stigma interventions need to address the fundamental causes of stigma and that their design needs to be theory-driven, causal theories to explain TB stigma are lacking. In this thesis I present the development of causal theories to explain manifestations of TB stigma and identify theory-driven approaches to addressing TB stigma in South Asia. Causal theories to explain TB stigma were developed using a multi-country comparative approach, involving qualitative methods and the principles of grounded theory, alongside a realist conceptualisation of causality. Qualitative data was collected through 73 interviews with people with TB, their family members and health care providers in three rural and two urban sites in Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan, and through eight focus group discussions conducted in three of the sites. Three manifestations of TB stigma, for which causal theories were developed, were identified from the data: reduced marriage prospects, the perception that people with TB are hated, and the attribution of blame for the course and reoccurrence of TB. All three manifestations are rooted in different psychological processes and it is between these manifestations and their roots that the realist causal theories lie. The mechanisms and contexts which explain how, for whom and in what circumstances TB stigma becomes manifest provide the theory that can be used to underpin approaches to addressing TB stigma. These approaches focus on influencing the legitimacy of rejection, hatred and blame, on reducing vulnerability to TB, on empowering people with TB, and on mainstreaming TB stigma and pre-empting the changing nature of its manifestations.

An, Chairin. "The multiple identities of creative labourers and negotiated creative autonomy : an empirical research with light-entertainment television PDs in South Korea." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2016. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/87341/.
Full textAbstract:
The research presented here examines a new definitional framework of creative autonomy that was designed with regard to the negotiated nature of creative autonomy and its relationship to the multiple identities of creative labourers. Having identified several limitations in the existing literature on creative autonomy, I argue that there is a need to observe creative labourers through a more appropriate lens—one which understands the paradoxes and dilemmas that today’s creative labourers experience in an undeniably commercial working environment. I suggest that such paradoxes and dilemmas, and the balance that needs to be attained, can be better understood if we consider the concept of the multiple identities of creative workers. Based upon this, I propose a new framework of creative autonomy, which seeks to appropriately reflect the distinctive attitudes of creative workers by taking into account the many concurrent desires manifest in the workplace. To empirically examine the new framework of creative autonomy and the concept of the multiplicities of creative labourers, the case of Main PDs in the South Korean light-entertainment television industry was selected. By observing the lived experiences of Main PDs, I attempt to reveal the negotiated nature of creative autonomy, which is the foundation of the new framework proposed in this study. Consequently, the significant industrial value of individual creative labourers who are able to negotiate and balance various intrinsic and extrinsic needs or demands in the creative production process becomes clear, and I then conclude by suggesting a need to establish a new management strategy so that broadcasting organisations are able to retain and manage professionalised PD labourers in the shifting labour market, for the development of not only organisations but also the creative workforce and the industry as a whole.

Kwon, Ki-Seok. "Universities' academic research and knowledge-transfer activities in a catch-up country : the case of Korea." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2010. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/2337/.
Full textAbstract:
The main research topic of this study is universities' academic research and knowledge-transfer activities in a catch-up country, particularly the relationship between the two activities, which has been rarely examined in previous research. In order to understand this issue against existing literature, a critical review of previous studies has been attempted, considering the idiosyncratic characteristics of the Korean national innovation system. As a result, at the three analysis levels (i.e. national, organisational and individual levels), we propose three conceptual elements respectively: a tentative historical path of universities in catch-up countries; critical factors influencing knowledge transfer activities of universities in catch-up countries; and academics operating in synergy mode. Thereafter, based on the methodology integrating not only the three analysis levels but also qualitative and quantitative approaches, we analyse the data collected from the interviews with Korean academics, survey responses from Korean academics and government White Papers on the activities of Korean universities. The results show a close and positive relationship between Korean universities' academic research and knowledge-transfer activities across the three levels. Firstly, during the last several decades, the Korean government has strongly encouraged the development of teaching, academic research and knowledge-transfer activities of Korean universities in harmony with the different developmental stages of Korean industry. This has resulted in selective patterns of the universities' three activities (e.g. concentration of scientific activities in certain fields). Secondly, organisational factors such as scientific capacity and industry funding are important for universities' knowledge-transfer activities in a catch-up country, which corroborates the positive relationship between the two activities. Finally, in terms of the factors influencing the synergy mode (i.e. a positive relationship between academic research and knowledge-transfer activities), academics' career stage and disciplines are important. This is related to the rapid expansion of the Korean academic system and the selectivity found in its activities. Based on these findings, it is tempting to conclude that universities in East Asian catch-up countries have developed their own academic system different from those in developed countries, which can be characterised as having strong government control and a high level of interaction with other actors in the national innovation system. Therefore, the application of the controversy over the direct economic contribution of universities in western countries to the context of catch-up countries is quite limited.

Full textAbstract:
This PhD by project outlines research conducted in 2007 on the Thai Burma border, introducing social work education to Burmese health and community workers. In addition to experiencing physical and social upheaval, workers have little access to general education or training in relation to their work with refugees and displaced people. A request from the director of a Refugee Health Clinic to provide social work education for local workers led to my research question: How do I develop and teach a culturally relevant, cross cultural, sustainable social work curriculum for Burmese health and community workers on the Thai Burma border? The project consists of a product: three manuals of curriculum developed on the border and written for use by future visitors or locally trained workers, and an exegesis: an exploration of the research, methodology and a detailed analysis of my product in the context of the literature. The exegesis is organised around three main themes. First is the intersection of social work education and international social work, with a critique of colonialist impositions of Western social work in developing Asian countries. This section considers what constitutes relevant social work and social work education in this context. The second theme examines the researcher's attempts to suspend her assumptions and create a learning exchange through culturally sensitive social relationships that acknowledge and scrutinize power relations within the Burma border context. The final theme raises questions of critical pedagogy. Key differences in beliefs about educational purpose and approaches can be identified between Asia and the Western world. The project employed adult learning principles and explored the challenges of teaching critical thinking. Based on a participatory action research model, the curriculum design process attempted to be collaborative, inclusive and recursive. As a corollary, the project created a community of practice that continues to meet and work together towards social justice for migrants on the border, concepts that were not known to the participants prior to the training program. The project aimed to connect international social work education to social work's core missions of emancipation, human rights and activism on the Thai Burma border. The themes are transferable to other sites of social work in the Asia-Pacific region where social development precedes the practice and teaching of social work.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, 2007.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 56-61).
It has been widely reported that pharmaceutical drug discovery innovation began its major decline somewhere in the last decade of the 20th century. After reaching a historical high of 53 new molecular entities (NMEs) in 1996, the industry has since witnessed a steady decline of NME filings (down to 18 in 2006) with the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)---despite rapidly escalating R&D spending among the world's major pharmaceutical firms (the "majors"). Industry leaders, researchers, and observers have all but acknowledged this drug discovery productivity crisis, much of it attributed to the industry's preference for and eventual exhaustion of simple, single molecular targets-the so-called "low-hanging fruit" whose discovery is characteristically attributed to serendipity. Collectively, pharmacological compounds were identified that targeted the products of -400-500 genes in the human body over the past five decades. These single-molecular targets-the majority of which are mechanistically overrepresented by the G-protein coupled receptors and key enzymes--are now believed to have been mostly discovered and commercialized into the ubiquitous blockbuster drugs on the market, ranging from statins to proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs).
(cont.) Historically and nearly coincident with this apparent dearth of new molecular targets was the advent of the 99% completed euchromatic sequence' of the human genome in 2004, as reported by the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium (IHGSC). Launched in 1990, the Human Genome Project (HGP) thus made available thousands of the approximately 30,000-40,000 estimated human genes that could be potentially associated with disease. Given the therapeutic promise of the supposed -3,000 druggable genes2, the major pharmaceutical firms have allocated sizeable investment into genomics-based drug discovery. The realization of senior research executives that future drug innovation will likely be based on a multi-gene, systems biology-based model for understanding complex disease mechanisms of action has resulted in a shift away from reliance on serendipity toward a model informed by genomic elucidation of inter-pathway connectivity. In my research, I examined the level and type of genomics-related investments made by selected majors in the West (U.S., Europe) and Japan. Moreover, I have leveraged genomics as a "lens" to assess the nature and role of serendipity in drug discovery-which I have posited can be deconstructed into the two different facets of technological capability and organizational design.
(cont.) Thirdly, the impact of personal-, firm-, and country-level ethnic & national identity, cultural & historical legacy, and social factors on productivity are investigated. Through the use of personal interviews with senior pharmaceutical industry research executives, an online survey questionnaire completed by research managers and staff, and publicly available information, it was found that the Western and Japanese majors shared major similarities surrounding the original impetus to invest in genomics. While Western firms were found to reap significant benefits from superior scale and decisively 'permeated' genomics as the central platform technology throughout their drug discovery organizations, Japanese firms were found to exhibit greater efficiency in resource utilization in genomics-based discovery. Furthermore, the finding of 3 distinctive national culture characterizations for Western, Japanese, and Chinese firms revealed differential influences on their respective firms' drug discovery practices and productivity. Finally, the state of China's genomics and life sciences firms was evaluated. Prescriptive recommendations for the development of the nascent pharmaceutical industry in China, based on conclusions drawn above, are provided.

In 1997, East Asia countries’ financial markets were attacked by international speculators one after another. It is started first in Thailand, followed by Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia, which also caused currency devaluation in these countries. Thus it resulted in economic crisis of East Asian countries. Then, in 2007, the subprime mortgage shocked the global stock and foreign exchange markets. According to these two crises, East Asia countries started to call for financial integration in Asia from the East Asia crisis in 1997. And in the subprime mortgage crisis, some East Asia countries discussed about establishing “Asian Currency” (Asia Currency Unit, ACU) or increasing “Asia SDR” (Special Drawing Rights, SDRs). Due to the Asian financial crisis swept through East Asia, and the subprime crisis, we know that there is no country which can face and deal with the shock of the global economy by itself. Particularly, the two East Asian financial crises made East Asia countries realize that regional integration is the only method against international speculators. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the Asian financial cooperation initiative, and to discuss the possibility of establishment of Asian currency.

Since ancient times Central Asia has long been a strategic location merely because of its proximity to several great powers on the Eurasian landmass, has experienced Greek, Persian, Hsiungnu, Turks, Arab, Kara-Khitan, Mongolian and Chinese empire conquests and dominations. Therefore Central Asian ethnic diversity is greatly subjected to multiple outside influence, the continuously influx of foreign art and thinking has impact the Central Asia’s inherent cultural model, and gradually progressive and integrated it. Central Asia historical monuments, palaces, ancient relics, and dazzling mosques or madrasahs ,all have a long history, splendid culture, such as Oriental dazzling pearl-Samarkand city, Ismail Samani mausoleum, mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, Bibi-Khanym Mosque.. Not only it’s precious historical heritage, different ethnic groups , witness of different historic periods of economical, social and cultural development Islamic architecture in Central Asia constitute a special human landscape. In this paper research discovers strong social politics powerful inevitably summons a kind of appearance strong culture trend the, therefore the historic monuments and the cultural heritage of that era of economic, social and cultural prosperity to be witness or not. In 7th century after Arabs conquest in Iran and Central Asia, exert substantial Islamic influence throughout Central Asia, consequently the Islamic culture changed Central Asian ethnic customs and thinking greatly, Islamic architecture traditions implemented and construction of splendid glorious mosque, minaret tower , mausoleums and other colorful architecture and decorative arts, sculpture, painting, etc., are expression of Islam of devout Muslim faith and a strong ethnical atmosphere of culture and style.

In the trend of international capital’s globalization, the scale of the international hot money’s effect on the fluctuation between individual stock market has significant influence on investor’s strategy. In the last two decades, the Asia-Pacific region has not only experienced surprising growth in both economic development and trade, but also attracted attention of many international investors. Therefore, this study employed quantitative methods, such as ADF unit root test, Johansen co-integration test, Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), and Granger causality test, to investigate the dynamic relationship among stock markets in Asia-Pacific region, including Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, China, Australia, New Zealand, and the America. Empirical analysis was conducted using data between January 1993 and December 2009. In addition, the effect of compound interest yielded from dividend reinvestment has become more important in consideration of the factor of price inflation. As long-term return of investment derived from dividend reinvestment would be higher than capital gain, this study adopted total return index of each stock market in Asia-Pacific region as calculation base. Furthermore, as legal holidays of stock markets of Asia-Pacific countries are different, some data of some countries would be omitted if such holidays were collected incidentally, which would possibly cause influence on research results and became an annoying disturbance in the process of the study. In turn, this study retrieved monthly data to solve such problems. In the empirical result of this study, co-integration relationship was found among stock markets of Asia-Pacific region, especially between China and countries of Asia-Pacific, where long-term co-integration relationship was observed, so was between Australia and New Zealand. The result of Granger causality test suggested that the stock markets of the America and Japan generally did not lead or follow those of Asia-Pacific stock markets. Floating of China stock market affected those of Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, New Zealand, and Singapore; in contrast, China stock market was not affected by those of the above countries or of the Asia-Pacific region. From this it was justified that the stock market of China is the most influential among those of the Asia-Pacific countries.

Asia’s economic growth enhance the ability of public consumption, thereby promoting the booming and development of aviation market. In recent year, low cost carriers have entered the Asia’s aviation market because of the effect of the market demand and potential. Due to the lack of the relevant research of low cost airline in Asia, this study probe the development of patterns, characteristics and strategies of low cost carriers in Asia. The selection of low cost carriers was chose from the possible low cost carriers’ list that published by ICAO in 2009. This study used the airlines operating indicator for classification and viability analysis. The low cost carriers of this study can be divided into four cluster include multiple, regional, ultra long haul and domestic. We find that the profitability of multiple type is better because of cost efficiency is good; the revenue performance of regional and domestic type is good, but the poor cost efficiency make the poor profitability. Today, the Asia’s aviation market is gradually deregulation and liberalization, the strict regulation and non-liberalization cannot be an excuse for unsuccessful, improve the viability and flight safety is the way to keep advantage and competitiveness in aviation market.

In recent years, there are many fraud events in many countries. It caused investors loose their confidence of financial reports and then affected the development of the Economy. For this reason, policy makers around the world have focused on corporate governance reform, especially in the Audit Committee’s duties. The study examines the relation between audit committee and earning quality of 304 listed companies in three East Asian countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong, after the Asian financial crisis. In the beginning, we test the relationship between ownership structures and earning quality. We find that if the controlling shareholders have high voting rights and create a large separation of the voting and cash flow rights, the financial reporting quality of corporations is low. Furthermore, we test the independence and profession in audit committee in the model. The evidence in the study doesn’t support that audit committee members are independent and have accounting expertise can enhance earning quality. The reasons may be as follows. First, the performance in audit committee members may not appear after the Asian financial crisis, even though they establish the audit committee in the Board of Directors. Secondly, audit committee actually doesn’t prepare the financial statements. It typically charged with oversight of financial reporting and disclosure. Because of that they may not prevent managers to engage in earnings management efficiently. Therefore, we should enhance Audit Committee’s duties, including hire the best certified public accountant, build the independent performance audit programs, and strengthen the accounting principles, etc. According to the enhancement of the corporate governance’s system, we hope managers could decrease the opportunities to manipulate earnings and report more credible financial reports to outsiders.

The atmosphere made by Asia Zen’s thinking is belng to a kind of cognize which are become different forms and explanations by time, space, location and culture development. Recently, the design base on the Zen’s thinking are beyond to the spiritual externalism and turn to the multi-application from time to time. Many life styles which produced by the Zen’s thinking are apply specifically in morden time. For the reason of laking the research of how zen theory apply on the concept design, this dissertation will find out how the Oriental theory -- Zen apply on surrounding design. Finnally, according to the design project, the Zen’s think in the concept design will be examed and practiced. From the beginning, the methods of how to doing this research are anylize the collected data and documents, then throgh the interview of three experts and groundedtheory, I will try to conclude the analyse the contant into four principles: the essence of Zen, the practice of zen’s life, the application in design project and national culture. Then try to analyse them from many different opinion. By this way, we can find out how the direction of zen’s effect on the desing work in nowadays. In the essence of zen and design method, we can arrange six points of “the zen’s thinking” and six points of “design method”.

This paper us MA(1)-GARCH(1,1) Model to examines the behavior of domestic daily return on stock markets with the objective of identifying whether there exist significant differences in the patterns of volatilities between different period and exchange rate regime. Results of the empirical investigation indicate that the reduced exchange rate volatility has been associated with lower volatility in stock returns. The analysis makes clear that the degree of exchange rate variability exerts an influence on stock variability. But this paper doesn’t find any systematic relation between stock volatility and exchange rate regime.

The world aviation industry enjoys a continuous growth since 1993. But the East Asia sector was heavily affected by the Asia Financial Crisis and thus had an unclear future. Together with the rapid growth of the Internet, the importance of company website keeps running high. One of the key factors of company website attractiveness is the interactivity. This research focus on the international airline websites in East Asia, and content analysis method was used to analyze the website interactivity. Moreover, statistical methods were used to verify the relationship between the website interactivity and the company scale variables. The research samples, totally 130 webpages, was collected from the company websites of 26 international airlines in 18 countries and districts of East Asia. The categories of website interactivity including: 1. customer support; 2. marketing research; 3. personalized support; 4. Advertising / promotion / public relation; 5. amusement. The coding reliability was 0.96. The conclusion of this research includes: 1. The variability between the sample websites is high. 2. The interactivity of international airline websites in East Asia shows a strong pragmatic feature. The most common functions are customer support and personalized support; The advertising / promotion / public relation interactive function is much fewer; Almost no marketing research and amusement functions are found. 3. The number of interactive webpages in each airline website has a positive trend with the scale of its company. 4. The pattern of interactive functions of international airline websites in East Asia is affected by the company scale.

There has been significant interest in the empirical performance of the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) hypothesis. Initial studies were, in general, unfavorable for PPP. Recent research has found that trend-break unit root test derived form linear models do not support the hypothesis of long-run PPP for real exchange rates. In this paper, we propose unit root tests that use STR models and minimum LM unit root tests that endogenously determine structural breaks to investigate long-run PPP in real exchange rates for Asia Pacific countries.

The safety of the Southeast Asian searway is facing more and more serious threat which includes pirate and sea terrorism. Those damage the economic and safety of the members of Association of Southeast Asia, however, each of the members doesn’t have enough power to resist the enemy. When the members of the ASEAN start to solve the problems, the lack of technology and military ability make them dependant on the powerful states extra-Southeast Asia, besides, the limit of the three rules (equality, non-interference in the internal affairs of one another, and unanimity) of ASEAN also obstruct the regionalism. The research which surveys the official and unofficial documents, international organizations, and international law about piracy and sea terrorism finds that the members of ASEAN on the base of the same issue of common interests will cooperate by the way of spill-over. This proves that each members can cooperate from on single issue to form the regionalism.

THESIS ABSTRACT GRADUATE INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS NATIONAL TAIWAN UNIVERSITYNAME：CHIN, SHUN-PENG MONTH/YEAR：JUNE,1998A AVISER ：SHIKUAN CHEN RESEARCH OF CAPITAL MOBILITY：THE CASE OF： EAST ASIA PRINCIPAL COUNTRIES This thesis emphasizes the capital mobility of several Ea st Asian countries such as Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Indones ia, Malaysia and the Philippines. We use a correlation between investment and saving rates to test capital mobility in order to determine whether or not th e level of domesticinvestment relies on the level of domestic saving. If the country has little correlation between investment and saving rates then the do mestic investment rates are less dependent on the domestic saving rates. Thus representing the fact that country has ahigh capital mobility. Another p ossible measure utilizes a unit root to test investment and saving rates. If one uses an original time series of investment and saving rates to test correl ation, the time series would be non-stationary rendering the use of a traditio nal statistics testing method inappropriate. In general, article by other aut hors always used differencing to solve the time series of non-stationary. Afte r differencing the time series of the investment and saving rates, we test the unit root. If the time series is stationary. Traditional statistical testing methods are appropriate for use. Thus, allowing accurate testing of the inve stment and saving rates correlation. The conclusions of this study are p resented as follows:1. Unit root testing of the original time series of inves tment and saving rates data proved the existence of non-stationary. A fter differencing the time series of the investment and saving rates that would eliminate non-stationary. Then, the time series become stationary so that differencing is adequate.2. By testing the correlation of investment an d saving rates with differencing time series of investment and saving rate s, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia were found to have domest ic investment rates that were less affected by domestic saving rates. Thes e countries can be classified as having a high capital mobility. The Phil ippines and Korea were classified as having a medium capital mobility rate , while in Japan and Indonesia it was found that the domestic investment rates were heavily affect by domestic saving rates and thus were classif ied by study as having low capital mobility.

Central Asia contains plentiful sources of energy and is the only place where the energy has not been developed yet in the whole word. The reason causes major powers prolonging their influence to control Central Asia countries. After 911, the USA makes excuses of anti-terrorism to send troops into Afghanistan which challenging the deployment of China’s strategy towards Central Asia. Under the circumstance, China has adopted some methods to deal with the threaten of USA, they are as follows : 1、China develops cooperative relation with the USA by using the issue of combating terrorism. It is helpful that the direct conflict of both countries in Central Asia’s interest could be avoided. 2、China uses the method of multilateral diplomacy which includes cooperation and exchange in culture, technical and educational field to enhance relationship with Russia and Central Asia countries. 3、China signed an agreement with Kazakhstan to build an oil pipe which is going to connect with Central Asia’s oil transportation network. And this will bring China to be an irreplaceable strategic position in “Pan-Asia global energy bridge”. Not only China has adopted diversiform ways to maintain and strive for the benefit in Central Asia, but also the major power such as USA and Russia does too. The future tendency of Central Asia still needs longtime observation.

Full textAbstract:
Background Considerable uncertainty exists about the strength and shape of associations of blood pressure and cholesterol with the risks of stroke, coronary heart disease and total cardiovascular death in eastern Asian populations. Therefore, uncertainty also exists about the size of the likely effects on cardiovascular mortality and morbidity of prolonged exposure changes in these populations. The Eastern Stroke and Coronary Heart Disease Collaborative Project was initiated to determine the associations of usual diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and usual cholesterol with the risks of stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD) and total cardiovascular death in cohort studies from eastern Asia. Methods A collaborative overview of cohort studies included data from 13 cohorts from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and five cohorts from Japan, involving a total of 124,774 participants among whom 837,214 person-years were observed. The overall mean age of participants was 47 years, 43% were current smokers and 39% were female. Both parametric and non-parametric analyses were performed, with adjustments made for several potential confounding factors. Efforts were made to correct for the bias introduced by estimation of "usual" DBP and cholesterol from measurements made at baseline (the "regression dilution" bias). The resulting estimates of associations of blood pressure and cholesterol with cardiovascular diseases were combined with data from surveys of blood pressure and cholesterol levels in Asian and other populations, estimates of the incidence of cardiovascular disease, and results from randomised trials of blood pressure and cholesterol lowering treatments to estimate the possible effects of blood pressure and cholesterol lowering. Findings The overall mean DBP at baseline was 78 mmHg. A total of 1,798 strokes were observed, of which about 45% were confirmed by computed tomography (CT) or autopsy. Each 5 mmHg lower usual DBP was associated with about two-fifths lower non-haemorrhagic stroke risk and about one-half lower haemorrhagic stroke risk(-5 mmHg: odds ratio 0.56, 95% Cl: 0.53-0.59 and 0.69, 0.65-0.73, respectively). The risks were continuous throughout the range of DBP studied (baseline DBP 70-114 mmHg, usual DBP 76-97 mmHg). Each 5 mmHg lower usual DBP was associated with almost a halving of total stroke risk (-5 mmHg: 0.56, 0.53-0.59). The risk of CHD was also strongly and positively related to usual DBP (-5 mmHg: 0.73, 0.66-0.80). Since about half of all cardiovascular deaths were due to stroke, they were strongly related to blood pressure with, on average, each 5 mmHg lower usual DBP associated with about one-third fewer such deaths (-5 mmHg: 0.69, 0.65-0.73). The mean cholesterol at baseline was 4.5 mmol/l (174 mg/dl) and disease risks were assessed across a range of cholesterol levels that correspond approximately to the lower two thirds of the distribution in most Western populations (baseline cholesterol 3.4-6.7mmol/l and estimated usual cholesterol 4.15.8mmol/l). There was a trend toward a negative association of usual cholesterol with strokes classified as haemorrhagic (0.6 mmol/l lower usual cholesterol associated with odds ratio of 1.27, 95% confidence limits 0.84-1.91) and a trend toward a positive association with strokes classified as non-haemorrhagic (-0.6 mmol/l: 0.77, 0.57-1.06). The consequence of these two apparently different (P=0.06) associations, was a weak positive association of usual cholesterol with total stroke (-0.6 mmol/l: O.92, 0.72-1.17). in contrast, there was clear evidence of strong positive associations of usual cholesterol with the risks of CHD (_0.6 mmol/l: 0.47,0.31, 0.71) and of total cardiovascular death (_0.6 mmol/l: 0.58, 0.44-0.76).Overall, there was no clear indication of an interaction between the effects of cholesterol and DBP, when assessed on a multiplicative scale. The estimates of the potential effects of blood pressure lowering indicated that a 3 mmHg lower usual DBP should eventually result in about one-third fewer strokes and one-sixth fewer CHD events. If accompanied by a 0.3 mmol/l lower usual cholesterol, then eventually one-third fewer stroke and CHD events should occur. In the PRC alone, such reductions would be expected to avert over half a million deaths annually. Most events would be prevented in those without hypertension or hypercholesterolaemia. World-wide, a 2% reduction in cholesterol levels would avert about 0'5 million (4%) of CHD deaths in 2020. A 2% reduction in DBP would avert an estimated 1.2 million (16%) stroke deaths and 0.6 million (6%) CHD deaths in 2020. Interpretation Blood pressure is a profoundly important determinant of cardiovascular disease in eastern Asian populations. The relationship observed here between blood pressure and total cardiovascular deaths is steeper than that typically observed in Western populations. This difference appears to be largely due to the different composition of cardiovascular deaths in Eastern populations, with a larger proportion of deaths due to conditions that are strongly related to blood pressure, such as haemorrhagic stroke. In these populations with comparatively low cholesterol from eastern Asia, there was no clear evidence of a cholesterol level below which risks of CHD or total cardiovascular death did not continue to decrease. The strength of the association of cholesterol with CHD was similar to that observed in other populations. The results suggest that modest population-wide reductions in these exposures, particularly blood pressure, could avert a large proportion of the substantial and increasing burden of cardiovascular disease in eastern Asian and other populations.

Abstract This study is to design and implement a multicultural curriculum using “culturally responsive teaching” in Multicultural Material of Southeast Asia, and to improve immigrated and general family students’ attitudes, participation and their interaction as well. The literature review related to the learning difficulty of immigrated students, the theory of culturally responsive teaching and multicultural curriculum, and the published literature related to the culturally responsive teaching were conducted. This study aimed at the effects of using “culturally responsive teaching” in Multicultural Material of Southeast Asia in the first grade of a primary school. Twenty-two first grade students, including one immigrants’ child, were recruited over three months through the action research with an integrated curriculum of Southeast Asian Multicultural Material and culturally responsive teaching. The contents of teaching materials included teaching design based on the students’ authentic life experience and immigrants’ native cultures into the framework of multicultural curriculum. In addition, multiple teaching strategies that fitted in with the learning style of students and Multiple Intelligences were also implemented to improve immigrants’ children’s achievement, and to improve the interaction of students. The results of this study are described as follows. 1.The growth of the teacher’s role： （1）When teachers were concerning about immigrant issues, students would reduce their stereotype significantly.) （2）Connecting the authentic life experiences to the teaching could improve both immigrated and general family students’ learning attitude and participation. （3）Teaching journals could be reviewed and improve the instructional strategies as well as solve the instructional problems. 2.The growth of class atmosphere： （1）Students’ self-confidence could be positively built by suitable expectations given by teachers. （2）The interaction between immigrated and general family students could be positively improved by Collaborative Learning. （3）Systematical classroom order could be positively built by setting explicit rules for the behaviors. （4）The true concerns given by teachers could be positively promote the friendship between teachers and students. （5）Communicating with students in culturally congruous ways could help teachers, students and parents get benefits. （6）With decoration of multicultural environment, students could get more cultural capacities of their own culture and other cultures. 3.The growth of curriculum design and the instructional strategies： （1） When studying interesting ethnic cultural curriculum, students have no pressure. （2）Western Culture effects our traditional cultures. （3）Over attending to commercialization, traditional cultures lose their meanings. （4）When teacher provides the compared issues between Taiwan and Southeast Asia, students could find diversities. （5）Culturally responsive teaching could enhance all students’ multicultural capacity to respect and tolerate the cultural diversity. According to the above findings, some suggestions for teachers and future researchers would be provided as for references.

The Executive Yuan focus on the development of electric vehicles which is considered to the smart industry. After the "smart electric vehicles development strategy and action plan" published in 2010, Executive Yuan has developed five strategies to make the domestic car industry not only enhance the value but also become more environmentally friendly. Furthermore, other neighboring countries include Japan, South Korea and Mainland China is also actively developing electric vehicles industry. This paper studies the electric vehicles policies in Asian countries including Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Mainland China and will divide policies into three parts: market, technology and legal. Documentary analysis method and comparative analysis method are adopted in the article. The analysis shows that basic legal systems are exist in every country. Taiwan's electric vehicles policies contain more application projects, and will focus on the promotion of electric buses in the future. However, the policies are ineffective because of the poor sales of electric vehicles. Moreover, the lack of long-term technology development plan and construction plan of charging facilities are the drawback of policy. Japan has the most mature electric vehicles industry. Japan does not only is the largest electric vehicles market in Asia, but also has the most complete technology development strategy. Effectiveness of Japan’s policy is better than other countries. Despite South Korea has poor performance in the sales of electric vehicles, South Korea invests a lot of resources constantly for technology development. Depend on complete development strategies, South Korea gradually become competitor of Japan in key technology of electric vehicles. The budget of developing electric vehicles in Mainland China is the largest in Asia. Its market size grows year by year and gradually catches up with Japan. In support of the policy, China’s electric vehicles industry is stronger than ever. Finally, this study suggests that Taiwan's policy for electric vehicles consumers should have two characteristics: build confidence and stimulate demand. Taiwan should plan the strategy of technology development in a long-term vision and improve our own technical capabilities more efficiently in the limited resources.

We calculated the implied volatility, using the futures of Nikkei 225 index, Hang Seng Index (HSI) and KOSPI 200 index instead of the index spot, and constructed the implied volatility functions. Using the daily data from January 2006 to December 2009, we fitted the implied volatilities with in-the-money index, out-of-the-money index, duration, and their squares. Two kinds of moneyness indices were used, including traditional moneyness index and the natural logarithm of traditional moneyness index. We found: 1. The implied volatility of Nikkei 225 index option, Hang seng index option and KOSPI 200 index option had asymmetry implied volatility curves. 2. There existed non-linear relationship between duration and implied volatility for all three stock indices. 3. The natural logarithm of traditional moneyness index might be a more suitable explain variable than traditional one for both Nikkei 225 index option and KOSPI 200 index option.

After the Cold War, international relationships changed from the Yalta System (emphasis on military alliance and arms race led by both superpowers the U.S. and the former Soviet Union) to the Malta System (emphasis on economic and security cooperation). Multilateral security cooperation mechanisms in the Asia Pacific were established one after another under the transition of the whole international circumstance. For purposes of maintaining regional stability, the PRC fully participates in the following meetings: ASEAN Regional Forum、The Four Party Talks、Asia Europe Meeting、ASEAN+3 Informal Summit、ASEAN+1 Informal Summit、ASEAN-China Dialogue Session、Workshop on Managing Potential Conflicts in the South China Sea and Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific. It is a worthy issue to continuously observe whether these mechanisms can indeed shape China as a regional responsible member. On the other hand, we must question whether the PRC's participation is merely a tool that can help achieve other underlying purposes. Accordingly, this thesis will discuss two main subjects. Firstly, we will look into China’s standpoints and strategies for participating in these Asia Pacific multilateral security mechanisms. Secondly, we will examine the Asia Pacific security strategies of the U.S., JAPAN, and ASEAN as well as their standpoints and strategies towards the PRC's participation in the Asia Pacific multilateral security mechanisms.

This paper investigates whether the “Taylor rule” can appropriately describe the Central Bank‘s monetary policy in Asia-Pacific countries. The countries under consideration were export-oriented countries that adopted floating exchange rate system, and affected by the Asian financial crisis. They include Taiwan, Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore. In addition we divide the sample period into two sub period based on the mid-1997 outbreak of the Asian financial crisis, to check the robustness of our results from the whole period. Furthermore, we investigate that the central bank cares for the quarterly inflation, or annual inflation. The results over the whole period showed that the Taylor rule describe Central Bank‘s monetary policy except for Thailand, Japan and Singapore. The Taylor rule can not describe Japan''s monetary policy when the period before Asian financial crisis is adopted. Besides, in addition to Thailand, the central banks concerned quarterly inflation rates than annual inflation rates.

Island traveling is one of the most popular tourism itineraries nowadays. The diversity of Southeast Asian islands includes beaches, beautiful towns, rich ocean scenery, comfortable resort villages, and unique island cultures, making Southeast Asian islands more and more. Welcomed by tourists. The purpose of this study is to improve tourists' satisfaction during traveling in Southeast Asian islands. The main purpose of this study is to explore the key indicators of the preferences of island traveling experts in Southeast Asia in order to attract island tourism tourists by using the preferences of island traveling experts in Southeast Asia. This study first collected domestic and international travel preferences and related literature, summed up four major aspects of recreational preferences: natural landscape, cultural resources, leisure activities, and psychic perceptions. Semi-structured in-depth interviews with scholars and experts were conducted in the context of recreational preferences, and related literature was collected. The preliminary evaluation indicators of the traveling preferences of the island traveling experts in the Southeast Asian region have summarized 32 evaluation indicators of the four major aspects, and then used the FDM Fuzzy Delphi Method expert expert questionnaire to analyze the island traveling in Southeast Asia. According to the research results and expert interview suggestions, it is concluded that the planning of island traveling must first focus on the original environment of “away from the city scenery”. In addition to the “beautiful natural scenery”, we will maintain the “rich natural resources” for sustainable development. "Software and hardware facilities that focus on environmental quality", with the "clean local food" and "travel safety ratio" of the island, the safety project planning for the event can also be introduced in detail to give visitors a sense of security; Now it is no longer the time to fill up the itinerary to see the flowers is the best itinerary. At present, the customized content of the two lines of the island line is becoming more and more abundant. For different tourists, the experts are recommended by professional operation ability. The most suitable product content, visitors choose to relax or participate in semi-self-help trips, all of which can be used to meet the needs of travel, plus the diversity of "sports attraction activities" and "places that have not been visited" to "satisfy psychological needs", above The achievement of the preference factor will enable visitors to get “relaxed and rehabilitated” and improve their satisfaction with the itinerary.

This thesis is aimed at researching the Chinese education market in the Southeast Asia. Due to rising flows of communication in the global commercial market, language has become a main tool to facilitate trading. In the last decade, China has rapidly transformed to a rising global economic power. Therefore, learning Chinese has been a global trend that begins to have wide spread impact on our society. Chinese education authorities set up Confusious Institutes and organizations across the world, while Taiwan also have Overseas Chinese Affairs Council, R.O.C.(Taiwan) to promote Chinese learning education overseas. Chinese and its culture over the past decade have raised considerable attention across countries, especially in Southeast Asia. The major institutions of Mainland China and Taiwan have been devoted to promoting exchanges and accelerating cooperation with the governments and the locals in Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia presents a deeply rooted historical relationship with China .There are many Chinese descents in Southeast Asia. Learning Mandarin is not only for the need in commercial market but it also indicates a continuation of Chinese traditions and cultures. The research content will introduce and analyze the scale of Chinese education market and their current framework in Chinese learning. Countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand and also other countries in Southeast Asia are within the scope of our discussion. The thesis will cover a wide spectrum from instructors, textbooks and materials, to certification in learning Chinese. In addition to the literature, we also collect periodicals as well as related news from different parts of the world. With the aid of information collected, we are able to systematically analyze the Chinese education market and gain a clear picture of this growing market. Besides, we have interviewed the people in the industry contributing valuable inputs and views .We also further realize how the Chinese education market functions and to what extent it may have influential effect.

Special Research on Chinese Oceanic History ---- The Ming Empire and South-east Asia It was during the Ming dynasty that China had its closest connection with South-east Asia. Owing to Ming T'ai-tsu's and Ming Ch'eng-tsu's successful policies, tribute from the conquered south-east Asian countries was continuously sent to China. However, in the middle period of the Ming dynasty, powerful Chinese influence withdrew from those countries in order to protect itself from Mongol and Wako attacks. Afterwards, all those countries were gradually ruined and became overseas coloies of Portugal, Spain, Holland or England. Therefore, the relationship between the Ming Empire and South- east Asia changed thoroughly, and it represented the decline of Chinese oceanic history. In this essay, the alterations of the Empire's policies toward South-east Asia and its influence over those countries will be discussed. Also covered will be its effects of the mutual trading activities and the changes of each historical period's political situation. The thesis, consisting of 240 thousand words, has been divided into six chapters, twenty sections.

Ever since the end of Cold War in the 1990s, the United States has become the world's most important hegemonic country in political, economic, military and technological powers. After the "911 event" in 2001, the US government has committed to global anti-terrorism strategy. However, through more than eight-year international war on terrorism, particularly the wars carrying on in Afghanistan and Iraq, has seriously drained America's strength; in addition, the international financial crisis occurred in 2008 also directly damages and deepens the US economic and social problems; on the other hand, the success of China's economic reform has significantly increased its economic and military capabilities, and international influence. China has now gradually become a potential threat to the hegemony of U.S. During the period of Obama administration, the U.S. has proposed strategy of "Returning to Asia" or “Rebalancing" in Asia-Pacific region, with a desire to expand regional mechanisms and construction partnerships as well as to adjust its military deployment structure in order to achieve US strategic objectives. In response to the challenges of China's rise, there are many contradictions and differences exist between the United States and China, yet also with a wide range of common interests. The competition and cooperation relations between these two countries have severe impacted on US hegemony position in the region and its regional interests.

The Research on China’s Asia-Pacific Geographical Strategy and Security of the Taiwan Strait Abstract After the Cold War, the polarized system, of which the two superpowers, the U.S. and Russia, are the symbols, collapsed; the world geopolitics obviously developed toward the direction of peace and stability, and the new and stable international structure hasn’t formed yet in a short time. In order to adapt to the transition of this huge structure, each country continuously develops and adjusts its strategies. Because of the decline in the economic and political strength, Russia couldn’t support and deal with Asia-Pacific affairs. And, the U.S. also kept adjusting its force deployment in the Asia-Pacific area. By holding this opportunity, China started the competition of Asia-Pacific geopolitical strategies as well. After practicing the reform and open policies, with the great progress of comprehensive national strength, the way China rose aroused the attention of the international society, especially the surrounding countries, thus, “China Threat Theory” became more and more well-known. In 2003, China proposed the concept of “Peaceful Rise” to solve the statement of “China Threat Theory” spreading internationally. Therefore, at present, China promotes the geographical strategies of three levels: one is the ocean strategy focusing on Taiwan Strait; another is the surrounding geographical strategy focusing on “Amity with Neighboring Countries”; and the other is the international strategy focusing on anti-hegemony and promoting world multi-polarization. In the process of rising in the world, China believes that Taiwan Issue is its biggest negative as well as the biggest barrier to its rise. Therefore, China regards solving Taiwan Issue as the most prior strategic consideration. To achieve the unity of sovereignty and territory earlier, China proposed the principle of “One China”, and even enacts “Anti-separation Law” in 2005 to claim that when the condition of peaceful unity is completely lost, it will take non-peaceful means to defend the integrity of national sovereignty and territory, which will have huge impact on our national interests and security. Hence our government should scheme corresponding policies as soon as possible to ensure our national security. 關鍵詞：地緣戰略、和平崛起、中國威脅論、多極化、一個中國 Key Word: Geographical Strategy， Peaceful Rise， China Threat Theory， Multi-polarization,，One China

The study centers on U.S. President Barack Obama’s “Return to Asia” strategy, where we apply the strategic triangle theory as the basis and using document analysis as our primary research method. Further on, we review the origins and development of “Return to Asia”, and also the deployment of this strategy, to discuss the “rebalancing” and multi-tier “balancing” operational principles of the U.S. government’s military and trade arrangements toward in Asia. The study then discusses how it influences the relation of China and Taiwan. The study concluded the following two conclusions: 1. The “Return to Asia” is another type of “containment” strategy shaped by the Present circumstances. After World War II, the USA adopted a containment policy during the Cold War to prevent Soviet expansion. The “Return to Asia” is a strategy in response to the international atmosphere which serves as a different and peaceful containment strategy towards China’s peaceful rise. 2.The current strategic triangle, US-China-Taiwan relations, shall bring an advantage for Taiwan’s buffer position. Under this “Return to Asia” strategy, the “pro-China, pro-USA and pro-Japan” Policy of Ma Ying-jeou administration was able to establish a relatively harmonious image among the three sides of the strategic triangle (US, China, and Taiwan), Under this situation, the forming of a romantic and marriage-like alliance with a nation will be determined, on a certain level, by Taiwan’s attitude. The United States and China, two powerful countries, will not tolerate its opponent to have a dominating power over Taiwan. As a result, Taiwan will be able to seek the greatest beneficiary by taking advantage of the tension between USA and China. The study also provides two suggestions regarding to relevant policies: 1.Based on the cross-strait relation, Taiwan needs to develop a more practical and realistic strategy. 2.Taiwan developing an indistinct strategy under U.S. “Return to Asia” policy.
