responsibility to provide international public goods (Zoellick 2005). A responsible stakeholder defends the status quo which “recognize[s] that the international system sustains their peaceful prosperity, so they work to sustain that system (Zoellick 2005).” Engaging China to be a responsible stakeholder, thus, defends the status quo order to lower possibility of rising power in revising the status quo forcefully. At the same time, engagement strategy asks rising power to share the burden of…

greatest superpower if they continue the trends they are on now, nobody is certain if the transition will be a peaceful one or something like what was seen in 1914. With a declining Great Britain and a rising Germany that was not satisfied with the status quo, one can begin to see glaring similarities to the current situation between the United States and China. A major issue in most transitions of power that is likely to cause war is uncertainty of what will come when the transition actually…

Switzerland, Germany, Taiwan, and Japan would address key issues in the story of John Q. Issues like cost inflation, the uninsured and under-insured, and efficiency. To see if John Q is a uniquely American issue. For the European countries, the story of John is plausible but not readily possible, as many of the European countries apply a cost for health care, but a rather minimal one compared to the states. In Britain, Switzerland and Germany medical bankruptcy is unheard…

its impact is still visible. With the formation of the Cold War, Sino-US relations with different ideological camps temporarily deteriorate. At this time, international student who selected by the National Government split in their different political views.

The major regional and political conflict existent between China and Japan forced the United States to end the dispute for Asian peace. The dispute got affiliated with Diaoyu Island, which possess the name Senkaku Island in the Japanese context (Baker, 2012).

However, its intervention also focused on the demand for peaceful political and regional…

beginning with the Japanese claim of Taiwan from China’s Qing Dynasty after the First Sino-Japanese war in 1895, right through to the invasion of Manchuria in 1931. This conflict between the two marked a culmination of near a half century of growing Japanese imperialist policies, aimed at the creation of a new order in East Asia through dominating Chinese politics and militaristically in order to exploit their natural resources.…

US Dollar V.S. EURO The two currencies, US dollar and EURO, can be said two of the most effective systems in the economy world. As US dollar is used by the United State, an influential country in terms of both economic and political and EURO is used by twenty-six countries and nineteen of those countries are in the European Union. Perhaps we are not using those two currencies, but we cannot deny that we are affected strongly by them, since the world is becoming smaller because of the…

Comparing and contrasting social, political, and economic norms. When doing my research things that really stuck out to me were amount of materials such as oil and electericity that the US uses. The United States consume 2.4822 gallons of oil while Taiwan consumes 1.4154 and Bosnia and Herzegovina consumes 0.2982. When it comes to electricity the United states consumes a total of 12,185kWh…

in internal political, economic and social spheres; in other words, the transition from a traditional society to modern, Japan became one of the leading world countries. However, in big cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, such modernization was more tangible than in the provincial small towns or villages, where the strong connection with traditions was still present. Our textbook illustrates that, according to the Oath, 1868, it was proclaimed to unite everyone, discard old status…

expectation of conformity has been drilled into the heads of people for generations. The government can maintain the status quo through brute force, as is evident by events such as the massacre at Tiananmen Square. Unruly novelists, orators, spiritual leaders, poets, and musicians of any sort have been repressed since the birth of the communist government until present day, and the status quo has persisted for so long (courtesy of ruthless enforcement) that many Chinese simply are unable to…
