perspective. Legacies of conflict and distrust have made it difficult
for East Asian countries to form regional institutions and
overcome security dilemmas. Chung's research questions two
conventional wisdoms related to these regional dynamics: 1) that distrust
among states can be overcome through cultural convergence and appealing to
a shared identity (such as the "European" identity developed through
the creation of the EU) and 2) that strong,
inward-focused national
identities exacerbate inter-state distrust and
conflict. Chung asks, “</span><b style="color:black;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify">Is this true?</b><span style="color:black;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify"> </span><b style="color:black;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify">Do distinct national

Chung’s research advances the concept that trust not only can be built among
nations when each affirms its own distinctive identity, but that this approach
may be more effective than embracing common identities across different
countries. Dr. Katrin Katz, the inaugural Sherman Family Lecture Award
recipient, describes Chung’s argument as “breaking new ground in
tackling some prevailing beliefs regarding the
relationship between national identity and levels of inter-state
trust and conflict. Dr. Chung's work entails a hopeful message for East
Asia and beyond: that emphasizing the favorable and distinctive traits of one's
own country need not lead to antagonistic relations with neighbors.”</span><p></p>
