China Brief 
Description: A source of well informed articles on current issues pertaining to the PR China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, written by well known analysts mainly from Asia and the US. However, bear in mind that though "independent" and "nonpartisan", the articles do reflect Jamestown's view of East Asia as a potential "threat to democracy and freedom" (see above).
http://www.jamestown.org/publications_view.php?publication_id=4 more Language: eng English Antique Chinese Porcelain Collector's Help and Info Page Description: Although this site also contains a commercial part, the information on the world of Chinese and Japanese ceramics is of very good quality. There is a section on marks (including historic and modern imitations), a glossary with more than 500 entries, a chapter on the Swedish India Company and the excavation of the Gotheborg, an annotated list of books on ceramics, and an active discussion list (requires registration), to name just a few. A drawback is the sheer size of the site and the lack of a clear defined sub-structure. One can easily get lost or end up in frames that load instead of the navigation. Despite these flaws it is a very useful resource.

"A rare and exemplary confluence of scholarship, common-sense, cheerfulness and networked communication technologies" (T.M. Ciolek, editor of the Asian Studies WWW Virtual Library).
http://www.h-net.msu.edu/~asia/ more Language: eng English H-Japan : history of JapanCitation: Welcome to H-Japan, a member of H-Net Humanities & Social Sciences Online. H-Japan is an international, nonpartisan electronic discussion group. It provides scholars, graduate students and professionals a free daily forum to discuss Japanese history, culture, religion, and society, including contemporary political, diplomatic, security, and economic issues.
http://www.h-net.org/~japan/ more Language: eng English Korean studies = Korean studies reviewCitation: koreanstudies is an international, English-language, nonpartisan, moderated electronic discussion group on Korea. The list welcomes academic discussions on any aspect of Korean Studies. It may also be used for posting announcements of publications, job vacancies, and so forth. [...]
The Korean Studies Review is published under the auspices of KoreanStudies, a moderated internet discussion list, and the Asian Studies Institute of the Victoria University of Wellington. Stephen Epstein (Victoria University of Wellington) edits, with administrative assistance from Laila Faisal (Victoria University of Wellington), who also maintains the web pages. This electronic review journal endeavours to provide timely reviews of the latest work in Korean Studies. In addition, we also work closely with a print partner, Acta Koreana; most of the book reviews that originally appear in Korean Studies Review eventually are published in Acta Koreana and vice versa.
http://koreaweb.ws/ks/ more Language: eng English East Asia integration studies : news, articles, book reviews, links & discussion listCitation: The economic integration of East Asia has advanced a lot over the past ten years. On the one hand, this concerns the de facto-integration of product markets and increasingly also of factor markets. On the other hand, it concerns also the expanding level of institutional interdependence. However, not all approaches to integration - bilateral agreements like the Korea-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, multilateral approaches like ASEAN plus Three (China, Japan, Korea) or supra-regional appendages like ASEM or APEC – can be reconciled with each other. The “Spaghetti-bowl effect” seems to lead to a system of trade disparity through agreements based on preferences. From a political point of view, facing hot spots like North Korea, integration becomes more and more important as well.
The Seoul ASEM Institute for International Relations and Hanns Seidel Foundation would like to accompany the process of economic integration in East Asia with a discussion forum, open for scholars and practitioners likewise.
http://www.asianintegration.org/ more Language: eng English Warring States Project Citation: The Warring States Project is a center and international contact point for research on China's classical period (the 05th through 03rd centuries) and the beginning of the Imperial period following. Its approach is based on the researches of Bruce and Taeko Brooks into the dates of the texts on which our knowledge of that period largely rests. Their work solves some long-standing philological problems in a chronologically consistent way. The redated text sources, in turn, yield a historically plausible account of China's formative centuries. They reveal, for the first time, the "Hundred Schools" dialogue actually in the process of taking place, and generally clarify the development of ideas and events leading up to the Chinese Empire. The ultimate effect of this work is to require a reconsideration of previous ideas about the classical period, and thus to clarify its value for comparative history, and its true relevance to contemporary situations.
http://www.umass.edu/wsp/ more Language: eng English PMJS: Premodern Japanese Studies Citation: With over 700 members worldwide, PMJS is the world's largest online community of students, scholars, and professionals who do work specifically related to earlier periods of Japanese art, culture, history, religion, language and literature. It was founded in 1999 by Michael Watson and is now edited and administered by Matthew Stavros of the University of Sydney.
The core of PMJS is a listserve that functions to facilitate scholarly discussion among members. PMJS Papers seeks to publish academic material online in both traditional and non-traditional formats, styles, and lengths.
http://www.pmjs.org/ more Language: eng English H-Japan Discussion Network Citation: H-Japan is an international, nonpartisan electronic discussion group sponsored by H-Net, Humanities-On-Line and the Kansai Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies (KIAPS) of Osaka University of Foreign Studies. It provides scholars, graduate students and professionals a free daily forum to discuss Japanese history, culture, religion, and society, including contemporary political, diplomatic, security, and economic issues.
This list has been established in part with funding from the the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Center for a Global Partnership of the Japan Foundation (Kokusai Koryu Kikin Nichibei Center, who have also given support to H-Asia and H-USA). Among our other activities, we also support the Japan-America Student Conference (JASC: Nichibei Gakusei Kaigi). H-Japan complements the H-Net list H-ASIA which handles broader regional issues and to which you may wish to subscribe (send subscription requests for H-ASIA to listserv@h-net.msu.edu).
H-Japan is an EDITED list. This means that list editors will screen all incoming messages to eliminate "flames," ad hominem arguments, "spams," private email, or non-scholarly messages. We will not censor ideas that can be presented, but we will do our utmost to assure that clearly irrelevant or unprofessional materials do not appear on the list. We may make minor editorial changes (spelling corrections, for example, or complete signatures) as needed.
Subscribers submit questions, comments, reports and replies to H-Japan. H-Japan publishes syllabi, outlines, handouts, bibliographies, listings of new sources, library catalogs and archives, and reports on new software, datasets and cd-roms, and posts announcements of conferences, fellowships, new publications in Japanese studies, and jobs. H-Japan also commissions serious book reviews and responses from authors and audience alike.
H-Japan is an electronic publication. All postings will be permanently stored on-line, and may be quoted and cited. We encourage the republication of H-JAPAN postings for non-profit educational use, and ask that proper credit be given to the author and to H-JAPAN, and that the date of posting be given.
It is our intent to encourage international participation and in particular to encourage interaction between specialists in Japan and others located throughout the world. We strongly encourage communications in either English or Japanese. We will encourage people to write in the language with which they are most comfortable. To create an atmosphere in which people will feel comfortable in exchanging ideas in a "foreign" language, we encourage readers to ask for clarifications of possible misunderstandings or to offer comments in a professional manner so that substantive issues remain our focus.
http://www.h-net.org/~japan/ more Language: eng English J-STUDIEN Citation: This is a German speaking mailing list, sponsored by the Gesellschaft für Japanforschung (GJF). J-STUDIEN is running since 1997 and networking the worldwide German speaking community of Japan related researchers and those who are interested in Japan.
Various Japan related information is posted, e.g. announcements of events, symposiums, workshops, conferences, lectures and exhibitions, as well as news about current job vacancies, award ceremonies, Japanese movies on TV and in cinema, Japan related computer software, websites, and much more.
However, information exchange should not be the only purpose of the list. It may also be thought of as a forum for scientific debates on and around the topic "Japan". We are inviting all GJF members and interested persons to join the list and participate in the discussions. Every member will be responsible for her/his own postings, whereas the GJF is taking care of technical and organisational things.
Main languages in J-STUDIEN are German and Japanese. Postings in English are also welcome as a common language. However other languages cannot be assumed to be understood by most of the list members. If you are using another language, please put an abstract in one of the named above 3 languages in front of your posting, for the sake of a smooth conversation in the list.
J-STUDIEN is not the only German speaking mailing list related to Japan. You will find many more lists in http://de.groups.yahoo.com/ (notably DinJ) and http://groups.google.de/ if you keyword "Japan". J-STUDIEN is also not the first of its kind: Rainer Daeschler has initiated a "Liste JAPAN" already in November 1990 in the Japanology of university Tuebingen (view the original invocation paper in PDF form). Unfortunately, the list did not last very long because at that time mail accounts were rather scarce. In 2007, it is again the merit of Rainer Daeschler that J-STUDIEN could be hosted on one of his servers at WiNShuttle.
You can find more information in German about the sponsor of this list on the homepage of the Gesellschaft für Japanforschung (GJF).
https://listserv.shuttle.de/mailman/listinfo/j-studien more Language: ger German Association of Japanese Language Teachers in Europe = ヨーロッパ日本語教師会Citation: General Information
The Association of Japanese Language Teachers in Europe e.V., founded in 1995, is an international organisation based in Europe The AJE seeks to enhance and promote teaching and learning Japanese language and culture in Europe. The AJE’s regular activities include organising annual international symposia on Japanese language education with other Japanese educational organisations in Europe, publishing its proceedings and newsletters. The Association’s activities reflect needs in Europe and we took part in a Common European Framework of Reference for Languages project (CEFR) in collaboration with the Japan Foundation. The AJE project team published a report entitled “Learning and Teaching Japanese Language in Europe and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages” in 2005. The AJE currently consists of over 300 members from around 30 countries.
History and Background
The Japan Foundation Japanese Language Institute, Urawa has been providing a training programme for teachers of Japanese Language (for Japanese Abroad) since 1989. In 1994, 13 teachers from 11 European countries participated in this training programme. The teachers realised that the Japanese language teaching in Europe appeared to be in need of an European-wide network for the teachers to cooperate for the future development and enhancement of teaching Japanese. In addition to that, a link with the public sector such as the Japan Foundation was considered beneficial to the region. As a consequence, in December 1994, the 13 participants of the training programme gathered for the first meeting in Maastricht in the Netherlands, and the Association was officially formed.
Aims and Principles
The Association of Japanese Language Teachers in Europe e.V. aims to promote Japanese language education in Europe and to deepen the understanding between Europe and Japan. The Association will endeavour to develop Japanese language education through gathering and providing information and establishing a network of teachers in order to cooperate and exchange ideas. The members of this Association shall in principal be those who are involved in teaching Japanese language in Europe. The Association will embrace the diversity of members.
The main activities of the Association include:
- To establish a network of teachers in Europe
- To hold an European Symposium on Japanese language education
- To form a network with associations of Japanese language teachers beyond Europe
- To gather and provide information on Japanese language education in Europe
- To cooperate in organising seminars and study groups in Europe
- To publish newsletters and other materials
http://www.eaje.eu/ more Language: eng English, jpn Japanese European Association for Japanese Studies Citation: Welcome to the EAJS! We are an association of scholars and researchers focusing on Japan. Japanese studies is now well established as a field of research and an academic discipline, but for many years researchers in Europe did their work in more or less splendid isolation, separated by linguistic or national barriers or by academic conventions and traditions. While this rich heritage of differences has been a source of constant stimulation and inspiration, we have strongly felt the need to form contacts and exchange information, and it was for that purpose that the European Association for Japanese Studies was formed in 1973.
The general aims of the European Association for Japanese Studies (EAJS) are stimulating interest in and encouraging research in Japanese studies in all the countries of Europe as well as USA and Japan, promoting the flow of information and communication in this particular field of studies through its triennial international conference, but also through symposia and workshops. Furthermore, the EAJS aims at a further increase of its membership. EAJS is open especially to the gradually developing Japanese studies community in Eastern Europe, and tries to integrate and support younger scholars in the field of Japanese studies. Bearing in mind European unification and increasing globalisation, EAJS wishes to strengthen its links to and its co-operation with the national associations for Japanese studies in Europe as well as organizations in Japan, rest of Asia and in the United States. In addition to its scholarly purposes, the EAJS also acts as the representative of European researchers on Japan to safeguard their interests vis-a-vis transnational organizations and their bodies responsible for the funding and direction of research at a European level.
The EAJS also encourages and, whenever possible, supports the formation of national associations for Japanese Studies, most of which were formed much later than EAJS itself, acknowledging that there are purposes, scholarly and political, which can better be served within the smaller unit of a national association.
At the same time, however, the EAJS has been sympathetic to the formation of discipline-oriented sub-groups, which often hold their meetings in conjunction with EAJS conferences. We obviously need both - a trans-disciplinary dialogue for which the EAJS forms an ideal platform, and a deepening of discussions within the discipline, for which the individual conference sections supply a very suitable basis.
The further aim of the EAJS is to help to provide a response to the need to formulate language policies to promote the language-education of Japanese in a stronger manner. This activity is being organized in analysis of current language education policies in Europe and networking with European and Japanese Institutions for the implementation of the Common European Framework not only inside language education (AJE) but also in other education contexts as intercultural education.
As we feel that it is in the interest of all scholars working on Japan, we have recently made an effort to intensify networking and have come to an arrangement of joint membership with the Association for Asian Studies. I am convinced that this will help to link up European scholarship with our colleagues across the Atlantic and beyond.
The EAJS issues a annual Bulletin.
The EAJS gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the Japan Foundation, which has generously supported the invitation of Japanese guest speakers to the conferences since the early 1980s. The Japan Foundation also supplied us with a grant for setting up an office in 1994. The present office is located at Frankfurt University, Germany, and takes care of the membership files, the edition of the Bulletin, and the coordination within the Council as well as handling all other external contacts.
Our international conferences are a good chance to meet colleagues from all over Europe and the rest of the world, and I cordially invite you to take part in them and get to know the activities of the EAJS from a close distance.
An important new activity started in 2000 was the EAJS PhD workshops helping to bring European students studying in Europe, Japan and the United States working on related topics in contact with each other. In the ideal case, such contacts are then further deepened at EAJS conferences.
