Introduction: Democratization and Communication in the Asia-Pacific Region
Bibliographic record
Abstract
the financial crisis of 1997, political as well as economic stability in the Asia-Pacific region has looked increasingly fragile. Earlier notions of democratization in the region as driven by solid middle-class interests have given way, particularly in the polarized world of the twentyfirst century, to fears that extremist social movements have the potential to undermine the state. This collection of papers was produced with the aim of reassessing the framework within which state-society contention takes place in changing societies.1 Our intention was to interrogate the ways in which democratizing societies talk to themselves and to the state, the better to understand how the new and proliferating movements and identities observed in Pacific Asia in recent years contend with ideologies of nationhood and Asian-ness promoted by the state. In doing so, we investigate both the channels of communication used, and the messages sent, and ask how both the form and content of these conversations influence state policies and construct social identities. In particular, we are concerned with the question of how communicative practices are used by state and/or society, to construct the identity of citizen for the people and the identity of democracy for the state.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
