Research interests
I have done research on the various processes of Asia Pacific integration, Asia-Europe relations, and East Asian politics, especially between Japan, China and both Koreas. I have also done research on the history of the concept of Asia during the past 2500 years in various languages from classical Greek, Roman, and Medieval authors to more recent Chinese, Japanese and American formulations of the concept.
My side interests are in world demography, family politics, maps and the history of cartography, politics of popular art - manga, anime and music, especially little known aspects of North Korean music - religious architecture, as well as boreal and temperate dendrology.
