During this reporting period, the CAPI China Chair was actively engaged in research, services, and outreach as well as teaching and graduate supervision with the Departments of Political Science and History. He was involved in numerous academic events and research trips, primarily including: • Organization of a major international conference, visits of Chinese scholars, and a panel at the annual conference

of the Canadian Asian Studies Association;• Awarded 3 grants;• Attendance at 11 conferences; • Delivered 8 papers and 3 presentations;• Served as a panelist and/or panel chair on different occasions;• Refereed publications of 2 journal articles, 1 book chapter, 1 paper-back edited volume, 1 book review, and 10

non-refereed items;• Traveled to China, Austria, Brazil, France, and Latvia, as well as other 6 trips in North America; and• Served on CAPI committees as well as connecting with academic communities and international society.

In November 2010, with the award of a SSHRC conference/workshop grant, the CAPI China Chair organized a conference on ‘Human Security in China’s Foreign Relations.’ Leading scholars came from China, Hong Kong, Britain, United States, and Canada to present their research update on issues such as climate change, environmental protection, water resources, food safety, pandemic control etc. and resulting implications for China’s connections with the rest of the world. The China Chair then edited the conference papers into a volume, which will be published by Routledge in 2012.

The China Chair continuously sits on the editorial board of several international academic journals on Asia and China Studies, including China Perspectives/ Perspectives Chinoises (Hong Kong and Paris), China: An International Journal (Singapore), and East Asia: An International Quarterly (Durham, UK), East Asian Policy (Singapore), International Journal of Politics and Good Governance (Agra, India). He was invited to in the fall 2010 to join the Executive Committee of Editorial Board of the Journal of Pacific Affairs based at UBC.

During this period the China Chair was intensively interviewed and cited on various Asia- and China-related issues by Canadian and international media, which included: Dajiyuan (Feb 26, 2011), Radio France (March 8, 2011), The Economist (April 1, 2011), New Tang TV (April 30 and May 16, 2011) etc. Because of his engagement in commentaries of public affairs in China, at the end of the year 2010 he was listed by the Chinese websites ‘Zhongyoujingzuo’ as one of the ‘100 Chinese Public Intellectuals of the Year.’

Research Project: Law, Governance and Constitutional Reform in Thailand

This project, which occupied most of available research time since the present chair joined CAPI in 2004, and especially in 2009-11, reached a critical outcome with a major publication, ‘The Constitutional System of Thailand: a Contextual Analysis’, co-authored with Peter Leyland, which was published by Hart Publishing in May 2011 when it was launched at a seminar at London Metropolitan University. This book marks the culmination of work involving a large number of research visits, conferences, poster sessions, and publications. During 2010-11 material from this project was published in the Journal of Political and Parliamentary Law, was delivered at a conference presentation in Singapore, and resulted in two published book chapters. This work has contributed to our understanding of the complexity and trajectory of the constitutional reform processes in Thailand during a particularly difficult and polarised period of Thai history beginning with mass protests against PM Thaksin Shinawatra in 2005 and ending with the violent dispersing of ‘red shirt’ protests in Bangkok in May 2010. Material from this project has been disseminated widely in poster sessions and teaching seminars over the last five years in Victoria (including a Dean’s downtown lecture), Vancouver, Seattle, London, Leiden, Singapore, Melbourne, Wollongong, Chicago, Columbia North Carolina, Harvard, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Xiamen, Bologna, Milan, and Siena, as well as Bangkok itself.

Thai judicial Training

In July 2008 the Faculty of Law and CAPI collaborated in delivering the first judicial training program to a group of 34 high level Thai judges. The topic of this inaugural 10-day program was “Environmental Law”. This training program was so successful that a second group of 30 judges visited in March 2009 for a shorter program on Criminal Justice, and in July 2010 the law chair directed another CAPI/ Law judicial training program. This program involved 42 Thai judges, and focused on “Juvenile and Family Law”, covering principally youth justice and child protection. On this occasion we collaborated with the National Judicial institute of Canada, with other units on campus and officials of the BC government, and three days of the 10-day program were held in Vancouver. It involved visits to the youth detention facility, the Metchosin youth camp, and courts in Victoria and Vancouver.

Special Economic Zones in Asian Market Economies

On this project the law chair collaborated with CAPI Associate, Professor Connie Carter, whose full-time position is at Royal Roads University’s Faculty of Management. In February of 2009, CAPI in conjunction with the Faculty of Law of Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, organized a highly successful conference under the title "Special Economic Zones in Asian Market Economies: ['SEZAME'] What is Next for SEZs?" held at Kyushu University in Fukuoka. This project culminated in the publication of a book published in July 2010 based on the 2009 conference proceedings, Special Economic Zones in Asian Market Economies, published by Routledge. This publication was preceded by a CAPI Round Table, held at UVic in June 2010, involving some of the contributors to the book and including as keynote Professor Zeng Huaqun of Xiamen University in the PRC.

Congratulations to this lucky group of 2010-11 CAPI interns!

Development Agency's International Youth Internship Program (for seven placements). Interns were based in progressive civil society organizations in Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Philippines, and were working on a range of issues from community development and conservation, to migration, and human rights.

In our 2012-2015 program, CAPI was thrilled to receive funding for an unprecedented three year program with funding for eighteen international internships through the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada's Students for Development Program. These placements will see University of Victoria undergraduate and graduate students participating in dynamic placements in the Philippines and Bangladesh. With pre-departure training taking place in late 2011 and the first group of interns departing for their placements in early January 2012. This group of interns is scheduled to complete their placements in mid 2012 with the next group starting as they finish.

“This internship has given me the ability to see how a femi-nist organization works at the international level and meet so many amazing women leaders from different areas and countries whose work is inspiring and necessary.”

Sabrina Buzzalino, InternIsis International Quezon City, Philippines

“I have had a phenomenal time living in Vietnam, it is my second time here, and I hope it is not my last. I have built strong relationships with countless wonderful people I have met through work and travels whom I plan to keep in close contact with. (Thanks to the Social Networking) I have also made a number of good contacts in the development field through many networking opportunities.”

Caitlin Devlin, InternCentre for Marinelife Conservation and Community Development,Hanoi, Vietnam

“This placement has changed my life and my professional experience forever. This placement helped me adapt, multi-task and appreciate working in such a close-knit organiza-tion comprised of people that treated each other like family. These skill sets and appreciation is something I would like to carry on in my next journey after this placement. Also, the culture of Vietnam taught me to be patient and value rela-tionships with co-workers and close friends.”

Danielle Castellino, InternCentre for Marineline Conservation and Community Development,Hanoi, Vietnam

“The opportunity of being able to be in a part of the world that I know little about, experientially, and being able to live and work in a different culture has been immensely reward-ing, both personally and professionally.”

Furqan Asif, InternWorldFish,Los Banos, Philippines

“Apart from the contribution this internship makes to my re-sume, this placement has tested my boundaries and helped me to gain confidence in my ability to try new things suc-cessfully. It has also been a consciousness-raiser, particularly with respect to the many and complex issues dealt with daily in South and Southeast Asia.”

Karen Campbell, InternMigrant Forum in Asia,Quezon City, Philippines

What did the C API inter n sh ip experience mean to you ?

“The most successful aspect of my internship was being able to routinely share a common space with those coming with different worldviews in their approach to migration. My ac-cess to forums in Manila, Jakarta, Lombok, Mexico City, and Nepal within a span of six months is testament to the rela-tionships my officemates have built with those in the sector throughout the world. It’s been a constant reminder that knowledge is always fluid and never complete.”

Andrew Kim, InternMigrant Forum in Asia,Quezon City, Philippines

“I learned how to engage with people from diverse places and how to be more culturally mindful. I also learned to challenge my assumptions and expectations, and to be more reflexive about my social location and privileges I have as a result of my location.”

Leah Staples, InternIsis International,Quezon City, Philippines

“The internship has been very life changing in many ways. I had previously spent a year in the Philippines in 2005 so I had some knowledge of Filipino culture, but being back in the country in a working capacity instead of as a student has shown me different sides of the culture that I was not previ-ously aware of.”

Stephanie Ellis, InternWorldFish,Los Banos, Philippines

“My previously over-critical views of development work have softened, and I am recognizing the potential for empower-ing and meaningful exchanges across cultural barriers de-spite differences in access to mobility, wealth, opportunity, and funding. I have a deep respect for the challenges and contradictions I experienced within MCD, and recognize that my interpretation of these is located within my own cultural and academic background.”

Susie Miller, InternCentre for Marinelife Conservation and Community Development,Hanoi, Vietnam
