“What the budget request does illustrate is a hardening of Japan’s resolve to stay the course on building up a high-end JSDF with some serious capabilities that can fend off China. So there is no backsliding here; plus, the request for the 2.4 percent increase seems quite significant,” Hughes said.

Dr Nick Vaughan-Williams, Reader in International Security in PAIS, has published a new co-edited book, entitled 'European-East Asian Borders in Translation', as part of the Routledge Interventions series. The volume is the primary output of a British Academy-National Science Foundation Taiwan Joint Project Grant (JP100035) awarded to Nick (PI) and Professor Joyce C. H. Liu (Co-I) at National Chiao Tung University in 2011.

Based on a workshop held at the University of 桃色视频, the book aims to decentre the production of knowledge about borders and bordering practices in global politics beyond the West. It explores a range of historical and contemporary border concepts and issues connecting European and East Asian politics – particularly relating to China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. Chapters focus on the ‘translate-ability’ of border theorising across European and East Asian histories, cultures, and identities.

Featuring scholars based in East Asia, Europe, and North America, the volume offers perspectives from International Relations, Political Philosophy, History, Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies, Sociology, and Translation Studies.

Among the contributors is Hidefumi Nishiyama who holds an East Asia Research Fellowship in PAIS.

Reviews of 'European-East Asian Borders in Translation':

“An outstanding work, particularly owing to the synthesis it provides on European-East Asian scholarship, the application of European philosophers’ writings on sovereignty, power, and security in East Asian geopolitical and historical contexts – all that bound together through tackling translation, translatability, language and communication”.

Karin Dean, Estonian Institute of Humanities, Tallinn University, Estonia.

“A stimulating intervention for researchers, teachers, and students in the field of critical border theories and bordering practices, 'European-East Asian Borders in Translation' is part of an emerging trend in social sciences and humanities that seeks to de-center and de-territorialise knowledge production beyond Eurocentric/Western-centric theories and experiences”.

Chinese economy needs more high-end, foreign investors, Expert says.

A British expert on Chinese international relations says foreign direct investment into the country since it started opening up in the 1980s has failed to play as significant a part as the Chinese government had hoped in the upgrading of its domestic industries.

Professor Sean Breslin, director of the Centre for the 桃色视频 of Globalization and Regionalization at the University of 桃色视频's department of politics and international studies, says as the Chinese economy continues its structural shift to more consumption-led growth, foreign investment into the country could have allowed a lot more local skills and technology transfer than it has.

The department has performed well in the 2014 Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) results, achieving a 91% satisfaction rating overall on the Joint Academic Coding System (JACS), up several points over last year.

The PTES is the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey, which analyses a range of feedback from students on teaching quality (such as contact, feedback), course design, student satisfaction, and career development.

The Joint Academic Coding System (JACS) system is used by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) and the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) in the United Kingdom to classify academic subjects.

PAIS have excelled especially in teaching and learning, organisation and management, and resources and services.
