Analyzing post-disaster scenarios after recent cyclones like Amphan and Yaas we aim to answer analytical questions like, what costs are born by people in vulnerable landscapes when disaster mitigation action plans are marred by climate politics? How do political capacities of different actors shape the implementation of climate action in the aftermath of disasters? These questions might justify whether climate actions are part of a comprehensive strategy of vulnerability reduction or merely symbolic gestures that lack a deeper understanding of place-based environmental and social complexities that are intertwined with the seemingly visible impacts of climate change. Drawing on empirical observations from selected disaster affected villages of the Indian Sundarbans, we argue that competing models of climate change led disaster management requires protracted engagement with the overarching role of electoral politics in mediating the crisis scenario and post-disaster recovery.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45675,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science","volume":"52 2","pages":"Pages 63-75"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140602466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Communist state of Vietnam is now experiencing the same situation.

This article explores one recent attempt—a viral post published on the government's Facebook page in November 2023 urging young citizens to marry before 30, attracting hundreds of thousands of reactions and comments. The article examines this heteronormative message and netizens’ comments, which show humor, resistance, and critiques of the government's welfare system. Using the concepts of (counter-) interpellation, it reveals the nuances of the power relations between the state and its people in this case study where biopolitics and personal choice intersect, illuminating how social networks provide a discursive space for mundane political engagement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45675,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science","volume":"52 2","pages":"Pages 100-109"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1568484924000169/pdfft?md5=434b2d9962768606ac202c66180a3df7&pid=1-s2.0-S1568484924000169-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141398120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What “weapons” do the various actors use to fight, negotiate, and cooperate in IR governance in the Cambodian garment sector? Our data analysis reveals that in the governance of IR systems in the upstream garment industry of the global apparel value chain, international actors play a dominant role, which is different from the traditional \"tripartite labor relations system.\" International actors include stakeholders from exporting and importing countries, international organizations, and lead firms.

The existing literature suggests that they feel attached to their hometowns due to intimate bonds with their families and friends or easy access to shopping and leisure facilities, even amid uncertain employment prospects. However, these observations often assume that those remaining in the provinces have lower academic attainment and a lack of motivation to seek better opportunities in urban centers. In contrast, this study, conducted through online interviews with 22 Japanese youths graduating from prestigious universities in Kyushu, examines their willingness to find stable employment and their decision to remain in their hometowns. Through an examination of their educational and career transitions and exploring their social networks, this study demonstrates that this phenomenon of remaining in rural hometowns reflects emerging cultural and societal attitudes shaped by the prolonged recession and tremendous disasters that impact their residential preferences.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45675,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science","volume":"52 1","pages":"Pages 8-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1568484923000412/pdfft?md5=c9ab9ed155b1f8d4a097618c99eec79a&pid=1-s2.0-S1568484923000412-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139301810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Applying national identity aids in building this consciousness, enhancing social identity, fostering social solidarity, and motivating a joint “state-society” response. Traditional top-down approaches to national identity, relying on symbols and rituals rooted in collective memory, may falter during crises due to formalism. Micro-social interactions, aligned with governance, construct relevant meanings through interaction rituals. Participation in these rituals energizes individuals, shaping national identity and fostering social unity. However, limited research explores this bottom-up approach. Integrating interaction ritual chain theory, this study examines shaping national identity from the bottom up. It concludes that symbolic meanings from governance behavior, social norms, and group identity through interaction rituals yield national symbols, consensus order, and emotional responses. Ultimately, interaction rituals mobilize emotions and reconstruct social order. This study's conclusion holds reference value for enhancing the government's meaning making and enriching interaction ritual chain theory.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45675,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science","volume":"52 1","pages":"Pages 35-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1568484924000017/pdfft?md5=6d4c7740acf4d73bb40d657100cc959c&pid=1-s2.0-S1568484924000017-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140645899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
