Everywhere, political power emerges in public and private relationships — overtly or subliminally. Entering the above Internet portals takes you to 400 annotated links. They will introduce you to emerging trends in legitimacy, challenge and change in media, governance and society in Asia and elsewhere.
Use these web pages to educate yourself about contentious politics and social change. Then design your preferred future — Vincent K. Pollard, lecturer & cooperating graduate faculty, Asian Studies Program, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
Three of Pollard's web pages (above) also are part of four other Internet libraries. For example, the Taiwan Cross-Strait Directory is a constituent element of the Asia-Pacific Digital Library. Pollard's Chinese Cultures Abroad is simultaneously a module of the China World Wide Web Virtual Library and of the Asian Studies WWW Virtual Library. Meanwhile, Hawai‘i politics also is subsumed in the Pacific Studies WWW Virtual Library.
Managers of externally linked websites are responsible for their own content, but they wouldn't be linked and annotated here if they lacked value. English is not the only language on linked websites, and 8% are in other languages. If your web browser is unable to read Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters and other scripts, you will sometimes see question marks, boxes or other unintelligible symbols.
