Imagining Globality: Japan & China’s approach to liberal internationalism
UCD Centre for Japanese Studies and the (opens in a new window)Irish Institute of Japanese Studies with UCD School of Social Policy, Social Work & Social Justice
Face-to-Face: (Theatre C004 UCD Health Sciences Building) & Online (Zoom)
Speaker: Prof. Kiri Paramore (Professor of Asian Studies, University College Cork)
Abstract: In this talk, Kiri Paramore, Professor of Asian Studies at UCC, will comparatively analyse the significance of “liberal internationalism” as a political concept in modern Japan and China.
For most nations, and certainly for postcolonial states, comparison forms an important basis of political thought. In Japan and China, comparative frameworks influence not only approaches to individual political issues and decisions, but also the structure of political thought itself. Comparison is also central to how other countries, particularly so-called “Western” countries, imagine the politics of Japan and China. Moreover, Western countries regularly imagine themselves in relation to “the East”, “Asia” and sometimes simply “China”, and imagine these places themselves similarly through comparisons to an imagined norm called “the West” and sometimes “the international community” – the imagination of which is reliant on comparison with an image of Asia. In other words, comparison forms the basis of a symbiotic creation of national, civilizational and global identities.
This talk takes liberalism, as the basis ideology of the current international order, as an exemplary focus of comparison. Beginning with a reflection on the divergent way WWII and the first Cold War’s history are perceived between China and Japan, the talk moves onto consider the impact of this on images of internationalism and liberalism over the past 70 years. Contrasting these divergences, and the current international tensions they feed, with the current convergences in ideas of culture and nation apparent both in China and Japan as well as many other countries around the world, the talk concludes by reflecting upon the continued influence and impact of liberal internationalism on politics today.
