China's attitude toward U.N. peacekeeping operations since 1989

Article Abstract:

China's position to any U.N. sponsored peacekeeping operation since 1989 has always been conservative and cautious. The Chinese of the 1980s see peacekeeping as a form of foreign intrusion to the sovereignty of a nation. However, the economic reforms that have taken place in China have led to more flexible policies; they have now started participating in major discussions with the U.N. and have supported traditional peacekeeping. However, China remains against the use of force in peacekeeping.

Rules of engagement: psychological and diplomatic dynamics of American-Japanese relations

Article Abstract:

Japan employs psychological and diplomatic tactics to project itself as a poor and weak nation bullied by the US. The US, on the other hand, has been reluctant in imposing punitive measures against Japan's unfair trade practice. As long as the US's liberal and Japan's neomercantilist policies prevail, there is little hope that the trade friction between the two countries will be resolved.
