Current territorial disputes between the Northeast Asian countries
have stimulated a resurgence of bellicose nationalism, and threaten
to upset recent efforts to achieve regional cooperation and
economic integration in East Asia. Alongside this, debates over
pre-1945 Japanese wartime atrocities, aggravated by still
unresolved territorial disputes between Japan and its neighbours
have triggered diplomatic conflicts in Japanese-South Korean
relations, virulent anti-Japanese protests in China, and a dramatic
increase of right-wing nationalism in Japan. Many have perceived
these phenomena as inevitable corollaries, inasmuch as they regard
the Northeast Asian countries as historically homogeneous and
nationalistic states, and have begun to question the feasibility of
the post-Cold War efforts to replace nationalism with a moderate
version of civic solidarity. This book contributes to the debates
surrounding patriotism and nationalism in Northeast Asia, and
investigates the feasibility of non-ethnocentric patriotism in
countries across the region. In doing so, it highlights the
differences between Asian and Western concepts of republican
patriotism via theoretical discussions of the evolving discourses
on nationalism, patriotism, democracy and civic solidarity. The
chapters combine theoretical discussion with historical case
studies such as modern state building in late Qing Dynasty;
nineteenth century Japanese political thought; and the twentieth
century Korean independence movement. In turn, the contributors
explore the possibilities for republican patriotism in contemporary
Northeast Asia, with a focus on the Chinese term minzu, and the
possibilities it holds for an alternative configuration of national
identity in the age of globalization; Maruyama Masao's theories of
nationalism in Japan; the National Security Law in South Korea, and
the impact it has had on the country's political culture; and the
Taiwanese movement for self-governance. Patriotism in East Asia
will appeal to students and scholars of Asian politics, political
theory, Asian history and peace studies, as well as to those
interested in issues of nationalism.
