Its importance has been emphasized by Mackinder in his heartland theory. The vast discoveries of the natural resources in the region, along with the U.S. ‘War on Terror’ and China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) that passes through the CARs (Central Asian Republics), have reignited the ‘New Great Game.’ Amongst the 5 CARs, the position of Tajikistan is of extreme relevance for China as it paves the way to Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and further in Eastern Europe and West Asia. China’s strategic embrace of Tajikistan cannot be missed by the strategic experts, given its access to Xinjiang from the Taliban-dominated Afghanistan, which has led it to establish an anti-terrorism alliance with Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. To increase its influence on Tajikistan, China has utilized a variety of means, including soft power, investments, military help, and training programmes. In this light, the paper will attempt to examine how China rapidly brought Tajikistan under its clout and the economic, social, and strategic consequences for Tajikistan.","PeriodicalId":44333,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Political Science","volume":"31 1","pages":"125 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45669835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the ongoing conflicts in the South China Sea through Womack’s Asymmetry theory of international relations. It contributes to the theory by suggesting ways to improve regional cooperation by adapting to new and renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind. The disparity of capacity among littorals in the South China Sea has created systemic misperception. How China can make amends with these countries by aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and bridging the asymmetry in the region becomes the key research question. This study analyses the existing international environmental agreements applicable in the South China Sea based on the issuing agency, China as a signatory, legality, and the nature of the agreement. It has been observed that the existing international agreements are ineffective in creating geopolitical symmetry. Our proposal of using offshore wind energy as a cooperative sustainable development tool to bridge the asymmetry can encourage cooperation for knowledge, technology, and practice sharing ensuring peace and cooperation in South China Sea.","PeriodicalId":44333,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Political Science","volume":"31 1","pages":"140 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42006547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies suggest that fostering trust in public institutions is contingent upon citizens’ favourable evaluation of the government’s institutional performance, whereas individual’s cultural orientations and political values are seldom given much interest. However, the resurgence of leaders with ‘populist’ tendencies presents an empirical puzzle, which may reveal intriguing political patterns in the context of comparative democratization (and autocratization). This study theorizes that citizens’ need for economic deliverance and social stability develops agreeable attitudes towards prevailing public institutions even though political incumbents project authoritarian tendencies. Using public opinion data from the seventh wave of World Values Survey (WVS7), this study finds that citizens in Indonesia and the Philippines—two of the region’s post-authoritarian democracies i.e. fragile democracies with spells of authoritarian rule manifest high support for a political system with a strong leader unconstrained with electoral and congressional intervention. Consequently, this favourable attitude makes them more likely to express higher institutional confidence. Overall, the findings shed light on the paradoxes of contemporary politics confronted not only with authoritarian resilience, political illiberalism and personalist rule but also of the enduring nondemocratic psychological disposition among citizens in settings with troubled democratic transitions.","PeriodicalId":44333,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Political Science","volume":"31 1","pages":"63 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49265440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corporate governance disclosure is essential for investors to monitor management decisions and exercise their rights on an informed basis. However, South Korea’s current disclosure requirements fall short of providing full, accurate, and timely disclosure in English to foreign investors who comprise approximately 30% of the shares listed on the Korea Exchange. By examining South Korea’s Code of Best Practices for Corporate Governance and the corporate governance disclosure report and comparing this to the recommendations of the ICGN Korea Governance Priorities report of 2022, this paper argues that while efforts to mandate corporate governance disclosure have been ongoing, efforts to make accurate and timely disclosure for the benefit of foreign investors are still lacking. More specifically, current disclosure practices are in danger of repelling foreign investors again post-1997 due to slow translation updates and lack of legal requirement for translation from Korean to English in the first place.","PeriodicalId":44333,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Political Science","volume":"30 1","pages":"245 - 259"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42339412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
