Searching for a New Role in East Asian Regionlization: Japanese Production Networks in the Electronics Industry
No full textThis paper will be published in Peter and J. Katzenstein and Takashi Shiraishi, eds. Remaking East Asia: Beyond Americanization and Japanization, Cornell University Press. Part 1 introduces a few conceptual building-blocks that we need to capture the interactions between international business organization and regionalization. Part 2 describes the growing dependence of Japan's electronics industry on Asia, and explores how Japanese electronics firms are searching for ways to expand and upgrade their regional production networks, with China as the main prize. Part 3 examines constraints to change. I highlight peculiar features of the Japanese network management model in East Asia that once may have reflected strength. But now these very same features have turned into systemic weaknesses, as they constrain the capacity of Japanese firms to cope with and shape East Asia's increasingly complex processes of regionalization. The chapter concludes with an illustrative example of how some Japanese electronics firms are seeking to turn around gradually their EAPNs, by developing strategic alliances with emerging new industry leaders in Asia, primarily from Greater China. Forthcoming as: "Searching for a New Role in East Asian Regionalization - Japanese Production Networks in the Electronics Industry", chapter 7, in: Peter and J. Katzenstein and Takashi Shiraishi, eds., Remaking East Asia: Beyond Americanization and Japanization, Cornell University Press.
Engel structures and weakly hyperbolic flows on four-manifolds
No full textWe study pairs of Engel structures on four-manifolds whose intersection has constant rank one and which define the same even contact structure, but induce different orientations on it. We establish a correspondence between such pairs of Engel structures and a class of weakly hyperbolic flows. This correspondence is analogous to the correspondence between bi-contact structures and projectively or conformally Anosov flows on three-manifolds found by Eliashberg–Thurston and by Mitsumatsu
Knowledge cluster formation as a science policy: lessons learned
No full textRegional science policy aims at the creation of productive knowledge clusters, which are central places within an epistemic landscape of knowledge production and dissemination, K-clusters are said to have the organisational capability to drive innovations and create new industries. The following paper will look at Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam and their path towards a Knowledge-based economy. All governments have used cluster formation as one of their development strategies. Some evidence on the current state of knowledge cluster formation is provided. If the formation of a knowledge cluster has been the government policy, what has been the result? Is there an epistemic landscape of knowledge clusters? Has the main knowledge cluster really materialised? Data collected from websites, directories, government publications and expert interviews have enabled us to construct the epistemic landscape of Peninsular Malaysia and the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. Several knowledge clusters of a high density of knowledge producing institutions and their knowledge workers have been identified and described. An analysis of the knowledge output, measured in terms of scientific publications, patents and trademarks show that knowledge clusters have, indeed, been productive as predicted by cluster theory, though the internal working of clusters require further explanation.Science policy; knowledge and development; knowledge-based economy; knowledge clusters; knowledge corridors; Malaysia; Vietnam
The Difficult Reception of Rigorous Descriptive Social Science in the Law
No full textMutual disdain is an effective border patrol at the demarcation lines between disciplines. Social scientists tend to react with disdain when they observe how their findings are routinely stripped of all the caveats, assumptions and careful limitations once they travel into law. Likewise, lawyers tend to react with disdain when they read all the laborious proofs and checks for what looks to them like a minuscule detail in a much larger picture. But mutual disdain comes at a high price. All cross-border intellectual trade is stifled. This paper explores the social science/law border from the legal side. The natural barriers turn out to be significant, but not insurmountable. Specifically the paper looks at the challenges of integrating rigorous descriptive social science into the application of the law in force by courts and administrative authorities. This is where the gap is most difficult to bridge. The main impediments are implicit value judgments inherent in models, conceptual languages and strictly controlled ways of generating empirical evidence; the difference between explanation, hypothesis testing and prediction, on the one hand, and decision-making, on the other; the ensuing difference between theoretical and practical reasoning, and the judicial tradition of engaging in holistic thinking; last but not least, the strife of the legal system for autonomy, in order to maintain its viability. If a legal academic assumes the position of an outside observer, she may entirely ignore all these concerns and simply follow the methodological standards of descriptive social science. This is, for instance, what most of law and economics does. The legal academic may, instead, choose to contribute to the making of new law. She will then find it advisable to partly ignore the strictures of rigorous methodology in order to be open to more aspects of the regulatory issue. But it is not difficult, at least, to follow the standards of the social sciences for analysing the core problem. The integration is most difficult if an academic does doctrinal work. But it is precisely here where the division of intellectual labour between legal practice and legal academia is most important. Academics who themselves are versatile in the respective social science translate the decisive insights into suggestions for a better reading of statutory provisions or case law.law and economics, law and statistics, explanation vs. decision-making, practical reasoning, psychology of judicial decision-making

Literaturverzeichnis 204In Dieter Roths umfangreichem und wenig untersuchten Werk lässt sich die
Dimension der transmedialen Selbstbeobachtung als roter Faden ausmachen. Dies
ausgehend von Mundunduculum, Roths Schlüsselwerk der 1960er Jahre, zu zeigen
und anhand weiterer künstlerischer Arbeiten zu differenzieren, ist das Ziel
der Untersuchung. Desweiteren wird eine intertextuelle sowie kontextuelle
Perspektive auf Künstler und Autoren wie Marcel Duchamp, Ludwig Wittgenstein,
Oswald Wiener etc. eröffnet, um weitere Ebenen von Roths künstlerisches
Schaffen vor diesem Hintergrund zu erschliessen.In Dieter Roth s work, which constantly attracted curatorial but hardly any
scholarly attention, the dimension of transmedia self observation is
considered a common focus of his vast artisitc production. Taking Mundunculum,
his key work of the 1960s, and other significant works as starting points,
this dimension is examined by my study. Furthermore, I open up an intertextual
and a contextual perspective in order to show the deep influence of other
writers and artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Oswald Wiener
etc
Die Physik irreparabler Mutationen

New calculations have been included, and some unclear formulations have been eliminated. New is in the present edition above all the calculation of the very certain temperature - alterations which are necessary for the lengthening of monotonous sequence for one position, provided that these are responsible for a constant viscosity - change of the DNA surroundings (section 6, equations 94 and 95)
