In the wake of major domestic and international changes, most especially the end of the Cold War and 9/11 for all, but additionally the collapse of the asset bubble in Japan and the transition from military authoritarianism to democratization in the ROK and Taiwan, all of the countries in question saw sharply divided domestic coalitions pressing for often diametrically opposed courses in national security and foreign policy. This brief begins by noting the limits of classical realist interpretations of international relations in Northeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific. It then addresses the importance of 'comprehensive security' as a driver for all of the countries in question. Finally, it examines the broad domestic clashes over foreign and security policy in each of four key democracies in the region and closes with a few general observations about the salience of regional domestic politics.

At the center of all human life is the idea of 'home', and although this notion has persisted across time, the specific ideas and meaning of that word have changed significantly across the millennia. We are now in an unprecedented time of rapid change and social, economic and political upheaval, and from where we stand now, it is important to explore what 'home' means to us today, at both the individual and collective level. The domestic space of the home, and the rooms within, represent a politicized site vis-à-vis gender, and these gender dichotomies are perhaps most prevalent in the kitchen and dining room. My studio practice centers around food – both its production and consumption, as well as the domestic spaces dedicated to food. Food is a powerful indicator and tool used to define who we are culturally, socially, economically, and politically. Surrounding the food we eat, there exists a web of interdependence between other people, animals, technology, industry, and economy. This web has been a rich subject for artists to explore and unpack throughout the years. American performance artist Linda Montana wrote in a 1981 issue of High Performance magazine that engagement with food manifests as "political statement, as conceptual device, as life principle, as sculptural material, for nurturance and ritual, for props and irony, as a scare tactic, in autobiography, as feminist statement, in humor, for survival." Drawing on the long lineage of feminist artists who have investigated the semiotic potential of food and dining, I bring a critical self-awareness to the domestic space to appropriate, reclaim, and empower objects and symbols that have long been perceived as oppressive and confining for women. The idea of femininity provides artists with access to a large visual vocabulary, and thus provides us with the opportunity to blur the lines between the formal stereotypes. These aesthetics of femininity also provide artists with space for creative new interpretations of harmful past preconceptions. I comment on the costs and implications of emotional labor, especially as they relate to the performance of femininity. My work extends to themes of the body as spectacle, performativity in personal and social relationships, and the tension between agency and expectation within contexts of intimacy and love. Through painting, video, and performance, I create visual narratives that disrupt restrictive ideas of gender, social identity, and femininity, and I strive for an elusiveness that defies the social categories that threaten to limit women. I question how visual disorientation of the domestic space, or domestic disorientation, works to unmoor and destabilize ingrained assumptions that have been historically limiting or debilitating for women.

Studies of how economic globalization influences domestic politics have disproportionately focused on questions of policy rather than politics. Recently, however, a number of studies have examined how economic globalization influences politics-specifically electoral politics. This article surveys these new studies, which have often appeared in disparate research areas, and argues that they constitute considerable evidence that international economic integration influences seemingly domestic political processes.

"We think we know it when we see it, but what is domestic terrorism exactly? Part of the confusion may stem from the fact that there is hesitancy among top federal agencies to define it. Starting with the reasons why this is so, this volume explores whether serious concerns about domestic terrorism are justified, if there are situations when domestic terrorism is justified, how politicians and the media may be stoking domestic terrorism, and what efforts could lead to the prevention of domestic terrorism incidents"--
