Inter-Asia reserach group member Sean Golden spoke at the First Asia-Europe Forum on Methods and Perspectives of Risk Analysis co-organised at the City University of Hong Kong by the Hong Kong Advanced Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Studies of City University and by the In-EAST: Institute of East Asian Studies of Universität Duisburg-Essen (Germany) in collaboration with EastAsiaNet on 17-18 November 2011. His topic was Discourse and Risk in Chinese Strategic Thinking:
Abstract
Discourse has been a focus for Chinese thinking on risk and strategy from ancient times until the present. After presenting some examples of discourse analysis in the context of risk in classical Chinese politic and military thought, his presentation proposed that reading between the lines of official policy statements today in order to identify underlying issues of conflict and political struggle can be a valuable instrument for risk analysis in the context of contemporary Chinese studies. Discourse analysis can be applied equally well to the official policy statements of the USA or the EU in order to gauge the state of their relations with China or their mutual relations. The presentation was based on a brief selection of case studies.
