        In Dire Straits: The Baltic States between Mainland China and Taiwan

        Aleksander Lust 경남대학교 극동문제연구소 2024 ASIAN PERSPECTIVE Vol.48 No.2

        Since 2020, the Baltic states have distanced themselves from mainland China. However, one country-Lithuania-has also developed close ties with Taiwan, including the opening of the Taiwanese Representative Office, the first in the European Union (EU). In response, China has downgraded diplomatic relations with Lithuania and imposed unofficial but sweeping economic sanctions. Why would a small Baltic country challenge a great power in Asia, where it has no obvious interests? Drawing on theories of international relations and based on original research, I argue that there are three reasons for Lithuania’s seemingly irrational behavior.First, the Baltic states depend on the United States for protection against Russia. However, Lithuania lacks a useful niche, such as cybersecurity for Estonia and logistics for Latvia. As a substitute, it has sided with the United States in the conflict with China. Second, the Baltic region has benefited little from economic cooperation with China. Therefore, Lithuania leaped at Taiwan’s promise of US$1.2 billion in investments and credits for high-tech industries. Third, Lithuania is the only Baltic country with a long history of independent statehood. As a result, it supports other peoples who seek to decide their own fate and-not always consistently-believes it should spread its values “from Belarus to Taiwan.” Since 2020, the Baltic states have distanced themselves from mainland China.

      • Electrophysiological evidence of alcohol-related attentional bias in social drinkers low in alcohol sensitivity.

        Shin, Eunsam,Hopfinger, Joseph B.,Lust, Sarah A.,Henry, Erika A.,Bartholow, Bruce D. American Psychological Association 2010 Psychology of addictive behaviors Vol.24 No.3

        <P>Low sensitivity to the acute effects of alcohol is a known risk factor for alcoholism. However, little is known concerning potential information-processing routes by which this risk factor might contribute to increased drinking. We tested the hypothesis that low-sensitivity (LS) participants would show biased attention to alcohol cues, compared with their high-sensitivity (HS) counterparts. Participants performed a task in which alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverage cues were presented bilaterally followed by a target that required categorization by color. Response times were faster for targets appearing in alcohol-cued than non-alcohol-cued locations for LS but not for HS participants. Event-related potential markers of early attention orienting (P1 amplitude) and subsequent attention reorienting (ipsilateral invalid negativity amplitude) indicated preferential selective attention to alcohol-cued locations among LS individuals. Controlling for recent drinking and family history of alcoholism did not affect these patterns, except that among HS participants, relatively heavy recent drinking was associated with difficulty reorienting attention away from alcohol-cued locations. These findings suggest a potential information-processing bias through which low sensitivity could lead to heavy alcohol involvement.</P>
