This volume applies a gender-sensitive perspective on Japan,
discussing issues such as national identity, the changing appeal of
role models, legacies of a misogynous past, gendered education
policies, female imaging, or working womens networks.
Whereas Area Studies and cross-border cooperation research
conventionally demarcates groups of people by geographical
boundaries, individuals might in fact feel more connected by shared
values and principles than by conventional spatial dimensions.
Knowledge Production, Area Studies and Global Cooperation asks what
norms and principles lead to the creation of knowledge about
cross-border cooperation and connection. It studies why theories,
methods, and concepts originate in one place rather than another,
how they travel, and what position the scholar adopts while doing
research, particularly 'in the field'. Taking case studies from
Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, the book links the
production of alternative epistemologies to the notion of global
cooperation and reassesses the ways in which the concept of
connectedness can be applied at the translocal and individual
rather than the formal international and collective level.
Knowledge Production, Area Studies and Global Cooperation provides
an innovative and critical approach towards established means of
producing knowledge about different areas of the world,
demonstrating that an understanding of pluri-local connectivity
should be integrated into the production of knowledge about
different areas of the world and the behavioural dimension of
global cooperation. By shifting the view from the collective to the
individual and from the formal to often invisible patterns of
connectedness, this book provides an important fresh perspective
which will be of interest to scholars and students of Area Studies,
Politics, International Relations and Development Studies.

'Local Responses to Global Challenges in Southeast Asia - A
Transregional Studies Reader' is a collection of multidisciplinary
essays, predominantly derived from papers presented at EuroSEAS
2019, the leading academic conference on Southeast Asian Studies,
hosted by Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin. It brings together a
variety of scholars from Southeast Asia, Europe and North America,
allowing for multiple flows and directionalities of knowledge
productions and exchanges, be it between the Global South and North
as well as within the Global South. The reader presents
empirically-oriented, theoretically grounded analyses of local
responses to global challenges such as knowledge-productions;
notions and practices of building diverse communities;
neo-populisms and contentious politics; resources and
sustainability; urbanization; labor, livelihoods and mobilities.
Each section starts with an introduction reviewing the state of the
art. Authors will take cue from a transregional perspective
understood as a distinct and alternative perspective on
multi-lingual and transcultural spaces of contact, exchange and
transfer. This includes a contextualization of phenomena in terms
of diverse (cross) linkages and entanglements, including motilities
on different scales, i.e. ranging from the local, regional to
national and/or global levels. Container-based notions of place and
space are addressed in a critical manner, where space and area are
understood as notions beyond established systems of ordering and
meta-geographies. A key goal is to allow for a consistent
conceptual advancement of New Area Studies, which are critical,
decentred, decolonial, diversified, and multi-disciplinary in
nature.
Dieses Lehrbuch prasentiert auch in der erweiterten und
aktualisierten 4. Auflage einen umfassenden UEberblick uber die
politischen Systeme Ostasiens. Die Leser*innen finden Kapitel zur
Volksrepublik China, zu Hongkong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan sowie Sud-
und Nordkorea. Die Einfuhrung stellt den institutionellen und
gesellschaftlichen Wandel der einzelnen Systeme in das Zentrum der
Betrachtung, orientiert sich dabei an sozialwissenschaftlichen
Theorien und unternimmt auch eine vergleichende Analyse. Das Buch
ist somit ein unerlasslicher Band fur ein tiefgehendes Verstandnis
der Veranderungsprozesse in einer dynamischen Weltregion.
In diesem Band widmen sich 14 AutorInnen aus vergleichender
politikwissenschaftlicher Perspektive der Frage von Bedeutung und
Deutung von Wahlen weltweit. Leitend ist fur die AutorInnen des
Bandes die Erkenntnis aus der jungeren Wahlsystemforschung, dass
eine Aufgabe heute gerade darin besteht, die jeweiligen Kontexte
naher zu bestimmen, in denen Wahlen stattfinden und innerhalb derer
Wahlsysteme eine bestimmte Wirkung entfalten. Es gilt, Abschied zu
nehmen von vormals als universal betrachteten, indes eindimensional
und haufig monokausal gefassten Theorien. Die Theoriediskussion
erfordert eine starkere Berucksichtigung des gesellschaftlichen,
kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen, historischen und
politisch-strukturellen Kontextes, in dem Wahlen Wahlsysteme
verankert sind oder installiert werden. Diese Kontextualisierung
erfolgt in diesem Band, der erstmalig die grossen Kulturraume der
Welt und das technische Instrument Wahlsystem in ihrer
Wechselwirkung analysiert.
Why study the nexus of gender, politics, and democracy in Asia?
What kind of democracy and political participation can we
conceptualize and identify for this heterogeneous region? In the
increasingly visible Asian context, which concepts, contexts,
discourses, and practices do we need to reflect upon most in order
to understand the complex relationship between gender and
democratic processes? The contributions in this book engage with
precisely these crucial questions, and do so by drawing on a
variety of case studies covering India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and
Cambodia. In the process, they scrutinize women's roles,
strategies, practices, and discourses on political participation
and gender-inclusive political reform in various arenas of
political engagement. The book's essays range from studies of
political actors and institutions, public policy and gender
mainstreaming, political theory and citizenship discourses, to the
study of various women's movements. (Series:
