DESCRIPTION:East Asia Program presents: Yongwook Ryu Identity\, Threat Perc
 eption\, and Conflict in Sino-Japanese Relations The fishing boat collisio
 n incident of September 2010 is indicative of an increasing level of confl
 ict between China and Japan since the 1990s. How can we account for this t
 rend? Though useful\, power transition theory has limited utility in expla
 ining this trend. I argue and show that worsening identity views between t
 he two countries negatively affect mutual threat perception and increase t
 he likelihood of conflict between the two countries. The so-called “histor
 y problem” (lishi wenti or rekishi mondai) is the key cause of the worseni
 ng identity views\, and hence the resolution of this problem would go a lo
 ng way to improve bilateral relations and cooperation. Yongwook Ryu is a d
 octoral candidate in the Department of Government\, Harvard University\, a
 nd will become an assistant professor in the Department of International R
 elations\, Australian National University from Feb 2012. He specializes in
  international relations of East Asia\, identity and security\, regional o
 rganizations\, and foreign policies of China\, Japan\, and Korea. He is cu
 rrently working on two other projects analyzing the effect of identity on 
 audience costs and the emergence of a regional human rights mechanism in A
 sia. Lunch will be served.
