Linking Trade, Traditional Security, and Human Security: Lessons from Europe and the Americas and Implications for Asia

Project Director: Vinod Aggarwal, Director, Berkeley APEC Study Center

$99,693

This project examines the influence of traditional and human security factors in driving trade policy measures, and in turn the implications of different types of trade arrangements for international traditional and human security in Asia. Scholars intend to address several key gaps in the existing literature: 1) concept of "human security" as a driver and potential result of trade arrangements, independent of and distinct from "traditional" security concerns; 2) the role of different types of trade arrangements (i.e. global, minillateral, or bilateral) in defining the nature of the security-trade linkages, and 3) the concrete effects that trade arrangements have on the traditional and non-traditional security environment.

Is Immigration Necessary? Labor Market Policy and Strategy in the US and Japan

Project Director: John Skrentny, Co-Director, Center for Comparative Immigration Studies

$54,516

This project will analyze the American and Japanese experiences with labor migration side by side, and to bring in the experience of other Asian states. Key questions to be addressed include which areas of the labor market is immigrant penetration most extensive and does this vary in each country, and how is each country approaching the problem of avoiding immigration and retaining economic competitiveness - and how successful have they been? The goal is to identify successful strategies, discern when and where they are likely to be successful, bring evidence-based knowledge to a sometimes clamorous debate, and provide a map forward to all industrialized states as they contend with one of the most important aspects of globalization.

Global Shock Wave: Asia ’s Recession and the Emerging Post-crisis Divide

Project Director: Steven Rosefielde, Professor, Department of Economics

$84,315

This project aims to prepare a series of papers to alert the policy community to two Asian aspects of the unfolding global economic crisis: America's anti-crisis monetary policy and its unintentional shifting of the burden to Japan by adopting monetary policies that will cause continuous yen appreciation; and the growing wedge between developed and emerging Asia. The final outcome is to be two publications: the world economic crisis and the emergence of a new disequilibrium global macro-management strategy; and the global crisis's asymmetric impact on Asia‘s developed and emerging nations.
