Prior to this, he had done much of his work related to the China and Indo-Pacific area in the Taipei-based National Chengchi University and Institute of International Relations. In his earlier doctoral studies at Carleton\u2019s Political Science Department, he used Social Constructivism in IR and historical\/sociological schools of New Institutionalism to trace the development of global \u201cone China\u201d institution and Canada\u2019s role in the early historical process. His research interests have focused on the role of ideas, institutions or norm in shaping policy direction and contours, domestic or international alike. Archival information was much relied upon to make his case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most recently, his research interests have been extended to a relationalist perspective and a cultural-psychological approach by which he seeks to reflect on the issue of exchange and reciprocity in the interaction process, domestically or internationally, and to explore their historical, contemporary relevance and limitations, especially in the context of East Asian practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Carleton, he has taught courses related to East Asia region, namely \u201cForeign Policies of Major East Asian Powers\u201d; \u201cState, Society and Economy in Northeast Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"selected-publications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selected Publications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCity Diplomacy, Multilateral Networks and the Role of Southeast Asia\u201d <em>Global Strategis<\/em>, June 2020, Issue 14, No. 1, pp. 17-29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExceptionalism under a Glass Ceiling?
