    The Administrative Division Change In Sichuan During The Early Qing Dynasty (1644-1735)
    (2025-07)
    Maoting, Cao
    From 1644 to 1735, the province of Sichuan underwent significant socio-economic, political, and demographic transformations, marking one of the most profound shifts in the early history of the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). These dynamic changes laid a crucial foundation for the administrative division change of modern-day Sichuan. The study places particular emphasis on the role of socio-economic and political factors in shaping these transformations. From a geographical perspective, Sichuan’s complex and strategic terrain emerged as a key consideration in the formulation of Qing administrative policies. As a result, a cross-regional governance model known as “Quanya Jiaocuo” (interlocking like canine teeth) was implemented as a strategy to strengthen central authority over the remote and difficult-to-control frontier regions. In terms of methodology, the study adopts a comprehensive documentary analysis approach, drawing extensively on a wide array of authoritative historical sources, including demographic data, socio-economic records, official documents, local histories, and archival materials from the Qing era. The findings reveal that rebellions along the frontier zones were a primary trigger of political instability, which ultimately compelled the Qing administration to reconfigure regional boundaries in pursuit of long-term security and stability. Thus, the study not only enriches scholarly understanding of Qing administrative strategies but also contributes meaningfully to the historical discourse on the evolution of Sichuan within the broader context of early modern Chinese governance.

    From National Crisis To Wartime: The Chinese Higher Education Policy During The Anti-Japanese War Period, 1931-1945
    (2025-09)
    Shi, Xiangkun
    This thesis investigates how Chinese higher education policy evolved during the period of the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1931 to 1945. While previous studies often treat wartime education as a passive response to external disruption, this study argues that education policy became a site of political negotiation, ideological contestation, and institutional reconfiguration. The research employs a document analysis approach, drawing on government archives and university documents, public discourse, newspaper and diaries by key figures. The analysis centers on two dimensions: (1) how crisis conditions redefined the goals and functions of higher education; (2) how state, educational community, student group and political forces — including both the Nationalist government and the Chinese Communist Party — jointly shaped policy decisions.

    ASEAN Monetary Union: Is ASEAN an Optimum Currency Area?
    (2010-06)
    Lew, Yuen Sin
    Economic arguments in support of monetary union argues that a monetary union is capable of providing stable exchange rate, low interest and inflation rate as well promoting trade within the monetary union zone. If the launch of Euro currency can be regarded as a success, then it can be used as a model for ASEAN countries to prevent the repeat of the 199711998 financial crisis. The Theory of Optimum Currency Area (OCA) is the main reference point in considering the establishment of a monetary union. The theory has listed out several important criteria that need to be fulfilled before the establishment of monetary union. This thesis examines the suitability of the OCA theory as a basis for the adoption of monetary union among ASEAN member countries. Based on the OCA theory, the thesis is aimed to analyze a) synchronization of business cycle, b) financial integration, and c) GDP per capita convergence among 10 ASEAN member states. For the first analysis, the approach uses Hodrick-Prescott filter to obtain the business cycle and ARDL method to trace out synchronization.
