Abstract: Over the course of the first-half of the 20th century, Japan transformed itself from a minor ally of the reigning British hegemony to a powerful ally of the German hegemonic challenger. Over the course of the second-half of the 20th century, Japan was increasingly heralded as the most likely hegemonic successor to the United States. But now, less than a decade into the 21st century, the idea of Japan as a possible hegemonic contender to the United States has been entirely eclipsed by a more likely Chinese scenario. This paper seeks to identify the structural conditions responsible for deflating Japanese influence in the global political economy, as well as analyze the possible role that these same structural conditions may play in future hegemonic coalition building. |

Abstract: The “foreign brides” phenomenon in Taiwan is part of a global phenomenon whereby women from less developed countries marry men from more developed countries. These “commodified transnational marriages” as a by-product of capitalist development----one way that men and women cope in societies distorted and marginalized by global capitalism. However, these transnational marriages, often in turn reinforce the international division of labor and consequently bolster capitalism’s strength. Furthermore, “commodified transnational marriages” manifest the international division of labor within interpersonal relationships, localizing the international division of labor as an unequal relation between people. Under the structural constraints, the author has worked with the “foreign brides” and the local communities to resist. The paper illustrates how the techniques of the “theater of the oppressed” can be employed to break the “culture of silence” of the oppressed , and consequently create the solidarity among the oppressed. |
