It permitted the return of household-based production (the responsibility system) only because it realised that the rural sector needed far more investment than the government could afford (61–63). Probably the party’s most positive poverty alleviation policy was to make economic development the major criterion for cadre promotion. A serious problem with the cadre system, and one that, in a path-dependency manner, reaches well into the past, is corruption. Because of their authority to grant permits, cadres are in a good position to demand, or be offered, bribes. Despite decades of grassroots complaints the party took no action until around 2010 when Beijing discovered CIA penetration of military, intelligence, government, and party affairs, which had been facilitated by paying the bribes cadres needed for promotion. More than two million cadres were punished in Xi’s anticorruption campaign. This foreign infiltration in combination with the GFC fomented a shift away from the reform era to the more Leninist China that we see today. This excellent book provides valuable insights into our understanding of the PRC. Its analysis of Chinese society is pathbreaking in the manner of Richard McGregor’s (2010) The Party.","PeriodicalId":46499,"journal":{"name":"Asian Studies Review","volume":"47 1","pages":"870 - 872"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45335836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ōrui was a leading scholar in the field of Western history (seiyōshi) in Japan during the mid-20th century and developed his pioneering study of the European Renaissance with reference to prominent Renaissance scholars such as Jacob Burckhardt and Johan Huizinga. Ōrui’s research is mostly known in relation to Western history, but during the war he also probed the existence of a Renaissance within Japan itself. His discussions of both the European and Japanese Renaissance cultures reveal his concern with the question of modernity and the contemporaneous situation in Japan. At a time when modernity was being keenly debated, Ōrui’s Renaissance study addressed the degeneration of Western modernity and clarified the joint cultural significance of the European and Japanese Renaissances, although this attempt intersected with the existing narrative about Japan’s imperial expansion. Overall, this article contributes to research on wartime Japanese and transnational intellectual/cultural history and sheds light on Ōrui’s previously unrecognised but unique form of cross-cultural inquiry.","PeriodicalId":46499,"journal":{"name":"Asian Studies Review","volume":"47 1","pages":"663 - 680"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48030899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines how the League of Red Cross Societies responded to these changes through the establishment of its Development Programme. Originally conceived in 1957 and commencing in 1963, the Programme included the formation of National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in newly independent countries in the Global South. Although it appeared to align with the values of self-determination for the League’s newest members, by prioritising the implementation of Western development theories the Programme left little scope for the inclusion of the voices and perspective of the Global South. An analysis of the Development Programme’s first foray into the Asian region, the 1964 South East Asian Forum, suggests that the League prioritised the appearance rather than the substance of its work. As a result, the article argues, the voices of the Global South – and especially Asia – were silenced in the Programme.","PeriodicalId":46499,"journal":{"name":"Asian Studies Review","volume":"47 1","pages":"761 - 777"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45767295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even today this issue is the source of multiple and serious disagreements between governments, scholars, and citizens from across the region. This article seeks to contribute to research on the comfort women issue by shifting the focus from the relationship between the Japanese authorities and comfort women to that between these authorities and the comfort agents. It uses archival records, and in particular documents from the Japanese military and police, to illustrate that the ‘comfort project’ was not driven by the choices of the women who were caught in its midst, but rather by a hierarchical structure of wartime militaristic rule, with the Japanese authorities as the principal and the brothel-owners/recruiters as their agents. Further, the article argues that the relationship between the authorities and brothel-owners/recruiters was a tacit contract of agency: both parties had to carry out their commitments because these commitments were so credible, even in the absence of physical contracts.","PeriodicalId":46499,"journal":{"name":"Asian Studies Review","volume":"47 1","pages":"700 - 719"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47470090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
