Globalization in scholarly debate is a confusing term, since it refers to the integration of distant regions, but not necessarily global, i.e. worldwide. Glocalization on the other hand is the formation of local identity in opposition to global influences. Whilst providing plenty of debate in disciplines such as the sociology of Western societies, the effects of Globalization and Glocalization have not been sufficiently examined with regard to modern or pre-modern China. This conference seeks to redress the balance and will explore how these two themes influence our understanding of China in the fields of religion, (intellectual) history, visual and material culture.

The monograph 'Political Philosophy in Japan' focuses on the politics of Japan's pre-eminent philosophical school - the Kyoto School - and particularly that of its founder, Nishida KitarÅ (1870-1945).
In Re-Politicising the Kyoto School as Philosophy (an edited volume) Christopher Goto-Jones contends that existing approaches to the controversial Kyoto School fail to take it seriously as a school of philosophy, instead focussing on historical debates about the alleged complicity of the School’s members with the imperialist regime in Japan.

On Friday 1 April, the Modern East Asia Research Centre and the LUC Research Centre co-hosted a panel of experts to discuss recent events in Japan, with the intention of disseminating accurate, reliable information, and also to provide opportunity for coordination of some fund-raising activities.
The hosts were delighted that so many people attended the event, and also that Professor dr. Laurens Jan Brinkhorst, a long-time patron of MEARC and the former EU Ambassador to Japan, took the time to chair the event for us. In addition to the panelists and audience, the event attracted attention from representatives of the Dutch government, media and business. Minister Ishii of the Japanese Embassy was also in attendance, and he spoke of the traditional importance of water in Japanese history and culture, noting its extreme nature in that part of the world.
The panel included Professor Chris Goto-Jones, director of MEARC, dean of LUC, and professor of comparative philosophy at Leiden, who spoke about the place of natural disasters and nuclear crisis in the literary culture of modern Japan; Dr Rogier Busser, assistant professor of Japanese Political Economy at Leiden, who spoke about the likely impact of the disastrous events of March on the Japanese and world economy; Dr Ethan Mark, assistant professor of Modern Japanese History at Leiden, who spoke about popular and grass-roots reactions to the crises in Japan; Dr Jan Leen Kloosterman, associate professor of Nuclear Reactor Physics, Delft University, who explained the crisis in the Fukushima reactors; and Prof Jean Savelkoul, professor of Radiation Safety & Health, Leiden University and VU Amsterdam, who explained the possible effects of radiation on the health and environment of Japan and elsewhere.
Every seat was taken in the Campus The Hague lecture hall, as a diverse audience of students, academics, government representatives, journalists, business people and a wide general audience sought more information about events in Japan. In the end, it was decided to continue the discussion about how help could and should be provided to the people most impacted by these events. A collection was made for the Japanese Red Cross -- the panelists all waived their honoraria so that the money could be donated to the Red Cross.

The catastrophic and tragic events that have been developing in Japan over the last few days have sent shockwaves around the world. The scale of the disaster is difficult to comprehend, especially at distance, and particularly through the abstractions of the international media. It is impossible to imagine the powerful viscerality of living through such massive demonstrations of the destructive power of nature, and difficult to understand the anxiety and fear of nuclear disaster that has followed the earthquakes and tsunami. From the privileged safety and calm of The Hague, we should remember that these events are first and finally about real people struggling for their lives. From here, we can only hope that the emergency services and institutions of Japan and elsewhere are able to help, and that the people of Japan receive (and feel) the support they need. I have every faith in the resilience and industry of the people there, but I hope that the staff and students of LUC will do all they can to support those people in this time of dire need. There are ways for us to help, please find them.
For now, on behalf of MEARC, I wish those affected by these events strength and health and a speedy recovery.
With deep sincerity, Chris Goto-Jones on behalf of the MEARC directorate

Lindsay Black presented the final report of the 11-12 June 2010 international MEARC Conference 'Sovereignty and Intervention in the International Society of East Asia – historical legacies and new dynamics' to the MEARC directorate today.
Below a summary:
Sovereignty and Intervention in the International Society of East Asia – historical legacies and new dynamics
On Friday and Saturday 11-12 June, the Modern East Asia Research Centre (MEARC) had the pleasure of running a major international conference entitled, ‘Sovereignty and Intervention in the International Society of East Asia – historical legacies and new dynamics’. The conference was graciously hosted by the recently established Leiden University College The Hague (www.lucthehague.nl), and involved twenty-three internationally renowned academics from across the globe.
The conference focused on East Asian understandings of and approaches towards the key concepts of sovereignty and intervention in the field of International Relations (IR). The necessity to undertake such a conference became apparent not only in terms of the increasing influence East Asian states have over decisions to intervene in the sovereign affairs of other states, but also in terms of how East Asian perspectives concerning sovereignty and intervention can challenge, as well as provide alternatives to, Western-centric IR theories.
There was certainly a sense at the conference that Western states and peoples fail to understand East Asian perspectives on sovereignty and intervention. For example, there has been a reluctance in the mainstream IR literature to consider how imperialism shaped the reluctance of Chinese governments to support armed interventions, or characterizations in the Western media of North Korea as an irrational, hermit state that endeavours to keep the international community from intervening in its sovereign affairs, even if it is the North Korean people who ultimately suffer. As a result, this MEARC conference set out to challenge such perspectives and bring to light and explain alternative East Asian conceptualizations of sovereignty and intervention.
Such alternatives are key not only to understanding the practice of sovereignty and intervention, but also how scholars theorize these issues. In particular, this conference opened up new avenues for the English School theory of IR that has grown in popularity across the globe since Barry Buzan’s call to reconvene the School in 2001. Notably, Buzan’s call has been met by East Asian scholars eager to evolve their own national theories of IR. By exploring the recent contributions of the China and Japan Schools of IR, this conference highlighted the need for cross-cultural dialogue that seeks to cultivate IR theories that are more inclusive.
Conference participants also debated a number of East Asian ideas, philosophies and concepts concerning sovereignty and intervention with a view to developing the English School’s notion of an international society. In particular, the conference participants noted the importance of several historical legacies that have generated particular East Asian approaches to sovereignty and intervention, such as non-military contributions to United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKOs) by successive Japanese governments who are wary of stirring fears amongst their East Asian neighbours of a return to the Japanese militarism of the 1930s. Such approaches further emphasized the need to expand the concept of an international society, beyond the original English School concept of a universal international society, to include regional international societies. By so doing, it becomes possible to identify why the international relations of a particular region function in distinct ways.
MEARC intends to compile several of the conference papers into an edited volume to be offered for publication as part of the MEARC/Leiden series in Modern East Asian History and Politics (Routledge).
The conference organizers would like to extend their sincere thanks to all conference participants, the audience, The Japan Foundation, the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) and the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and Professor Chris Goto-Jones, the Dean of Leiden University College the Hague, for making this conference possible.
