“…First, our aim is to validate the hunch-cum-hypothesis of the liberal world order generated through the institutional vehicle called multilateral treaties, which has been blossomed after World War II (Ikenberry 2020). Inoguchi and Le (2019) have shown the hunch-cum-hypothesis has been grosso modo validated as a first attempt of empirical testing on the basis of features of multilateral treaties. The intellectual debate has thus been going on between the institutional vehicle school (like multilateral treaties) and the socialization school (like elite socialization through sharing of culture).…”

“…The former school, the institutional vehicles school, is new and old. It is new in that Inoguchi and Le (2019) have only recently empirically and statistically tested the hypothesis and shown positive results. It is old in that Fairbank and Teng (1941) and Fairbank (1968) advance the hypothesis that the tributary system as practiced in the Sinocentric world (as contrasted to the international treaty system as practiced in the Eurocentric world) are qualitatively different or-to put it simply-incompatible.…”

“…Suzuki (2009) is akin to the elite socialization sub-school in the hegemony school. Inoguchi and Le (2019) can be categorized as the institutionalist school but cannot be categorized as the institutionalist of neoliberal persuasion. More directly referring to the dawn of the new millennium and the liberal world order, Ikenberry (2011Ikenberry ( , 2020 advances the kind of the institutional vehicles school in that the liberal world order might not demise even if the position of military predominant of the United States might be lost in the future.…”

“…Second, Inoguchi and Le (2019) adopt the strategy of using instrumental variables if it is solidly empirical in light of the need to use empirical data to explain whether sovereign states decide to join or not to join multilateral treaties.…”

Digitized Statecraft in Multilateral Treaty Participation

By statecraft one often means the skill and flair of running the state. Instead of uttering aphorisms to approach this subject, we attempt to create digitized statecraft since we know that we are not pundits. In order to hone skill and nurture flair in deciding whether or not to join a multilateral treaty, one must grasp what are keys in joining or not joining multilateral treaty. Multilateral treaties are a form of communication with messages and modes to allure sovereign states to join. Here we focus on communication modes rather than communication messages. In other words, we take a close look at sovereign states' physical action (i.e., promulgation and ratification) rather than their words. As Antoine de Saint Exupéry (2011) in his Le Petit Prince says, "One only sees clearly with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye." 2.1 Policy Domains and Subdomains of Multilateral Treaties For this book, the collection of United Nations multilateral treaties is the dataset of 600 treaties which are mainly the treaties deposited in the Secretary-General of the United Nations (roughly 500 treaties) and some others (more than 100 treaties) deposited in UN special agencies (the World Intellectual Property Organization and the International Labor Organization). For the treaties deposited in the Secretary-General of the United Nations, we have accessed the data of "UN Treaty Collection" at its website at https://treaties.un.org. The Treaty Section of the Office of Legal Affairs of the United Nations who makes every effort to provide the most up-to-date information of multilateral treaties deposited with the Secretary-General available to it in electronic format (United Nations 2020). These are the multilateral treaties that cover a broad range of subject matters such as human rights, peace and disarmament, protection of the environment, labor and health, trade, commerce, and communications, and intellectual property. These treaties are categorized in domains and corresponding subdomains based on their main target of solving a given issue of global governance. The burst of these new categories of policy domains has been caused by

“…Although this book is about global quasi-legislative behavior, a sovereign state's decision about participation in multilateral treaties depends not only what the rest of the world thinks about values and norms multilateral treaties represent and exemplify, but also how its people feel about daily life satisfaction, the sum of which can be aggregated into societal types. Therefore, taking a glance at the relationship between global quasi-legislative behavior types and societal types may add more credence to the hypothesis that national citizens' preference and global citizens' preference converge at reasonably high level, which have been affirmed positively in Inoguchi and Le (2019). Looking at Table 9.1, two things should be noted.…”

Typology of Global Quasi-Legislative Behavior and Typology of Societies Focusing on Sinic East

In this chapter we attempt relating the typology of global quasi-legislative behavior (in this volume) to the typology of societies (Inoguchi 2019) focusing on Sinic East. The latter, the typology of societies, is based on daily life satisfaction surveyed by the AsiaBarometer quality of life research carried out in 29 Asian societies with face-to-face interviewing and with the sample size of 800 to 2,000 in each of 29 Asian societies (Inoguchi and Fujii 2013; see also Appendix E). The typology of societies is based on factor analyzing people's daily life satisfaction with 16 life items (domains, aspects and styles). It is a profile of societies from the bottom up rather than top down. Since both the typology of global quasi-legislative behavior has proved to be reasonably strongly related to the internal preferences of each society obtained by the World Value Survey through the world data used in Welzel 2013 and statistically examined positively in Inoguchi and Le, 2019, another data set of domestic daily life satisfaction collected in Sinic East societies in 2019 has been examined and proved to be reasonably related each other. One strong finding here is that those domestic preferences gauged on the experts' assessment of regimes' nature like democratic vs. authoritarian does not seem to work well in comparison to the daily life satisfaction in 16 items of domains, aspects and styles and the values and norms in concrete life situations. Typology of societies has been constructed from the angle of bottom up to characterize 29 societies by the degree of human daily life satisfaction in the AsiaBarometer Survey (Inoguchi 2019 and forthcoming). The idea that prompted me to construct the typology of Asian societies from the bottom up rather than top down is that Asian societies have been so often seen and typologized from the top-down perspective (Hegel, Marx, Wittfogel, Weber). The task was carried out by collecting empirical data derived from face-to-face interviews on people's daily life satisfaction in 29 societies in East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Central Asia with each of national sample sizes ranging between 800 (for example, Brunei, Bhutan, the Maldives) and 2,000 (for example, India, China, Japan) during the 2003-2008 period (Inoguchi and Fujii 2013). The sixteen items of daily life domains, aspects, and styles are: housing, friendship, marriage, standard of living, household income,
