Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

9. II. HISTORICAL LEGACIES IN THE ASIA-
PACIFIC
Wars and conflicts have shaped inter-state relations
1st Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895)
◦ Li-Ito Convention 1885
◦ Treaty of Shimonoseki
◦ Russia, France, and Germany forced Japan to return
Liaodong Peninsular to China.
◦ However, China still had to pay indemnity to Japan.
10. Historical Legacies in the Asia-Pacific
(con’t)
Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905)
◦ Treaty of Portsmouth
2nd Sino-Japanese War(1937-1945)
◦ 1931: Japan invaded Manchuria
◦ China had support from Soviet and US
◦ Nanjing Massacre
11. Historical Legacies in the Asia-Pacific
(con’t)
In East Asia, American policy had actually exacerbated
existing tensions with an additional overlay of ideology and
strategic division.
◦ American hegemony in the post-war period
◦ The multilateral institutional order associated with the Bretton Woods
regime
◦ A series of bilateral, ‘hub and spokes’ relationships in East Asia
constituted an America-centric security architecture
12. Historical Legacies in the Asia-Pacific
(con’t)
Major conflicts broke out:
◦ Korean War (1950-1953)
US believed in the domino theory
UN forces being comprised largely of American troops
Armistice was signed to re-establish the 38th parallel
◦ Vietnam War (1945-1975)
Guerrilla tactics were proved against American forces
the American public turned against its government
Under the leadership of Richard Nixon, American troops left Vietnam
13. III. HUBS, SPOKES, AND CYCLES
• The Development of security architecture in Asia-
pacific and East Asia by USA strategic policy
• US promoted integration regionally in EU
• US promoted relationship bilaterally in EA
• Japan & China
14. Hubs, Spokes, and Cycles (con’t)
US hegemony which have Pro & Con
. Pro: East Asia’s development occur due to the
US’s aids & assistance
ex: Japan, Korea, Taiwan….
. Con: Affect to directly & indirectly (war)
ex: Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao.
San Francisco System
15. IV. ORIGIN OF ARF
The ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) is a formal, official,
multilateral dialogue in Asia Pacific region. ARF
objectives are to foster dialogue and consultation, and
promote confidence-building and preventive diplomacy
in the region.
17. Origins of the ARF
Challenges to
• The diversify of its membership
• ASEAN states are attempting to maintain some sort of control
of agreement.
Ex. Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality
ASEAN’s goals neutrality
- However, ASEAN Regional Forum attempt to have a
region widely security which encompass the Asia-
Pacific. Following the APEC, The ARF’s formation
was facilitated by “ track two”
18. Origins of the ARF
Two developments were especially significant
◦ ASEAN’s relation with Chia were improved.
◦ The decline of American engagement in the region.
USA’s withdrawal from its base at Subic Bay in Philippine .
In this context, It has proved that the problematic is
about the territory dispute in the south china sea.
- There are a number of conflating territorial claims
centering on the microscopic Parcel and Spratly.
- Those Islands may sit oil and gas
19. - China move to occupy some part of Island and
building its structure.
China’s growing strategic threat and
southeast Asia’s limited ability to counter it is
widely seen a driver behind the establishment
of ARF
20. V. IMPLEMENTATION THE ARF AGENDA
The key questions confronting the ARF were about membership and
method – who should be in it, and how should it operate?
The US, China, Russia and Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada, India and the EU Union: Support
And yet, North Korea and Taiwan: conspicuous initial absentees
There are three reasons to understand how distinctive the ASEAN
approach is:
◦ Asian conceptions of security are generally far more comprehensive
◦ Emphasizing the role of Indonesia in Asian way
◦ Conduction at the foreign minister level
21. Implementation the ARF Agenda (con’t)
The ARF’s development was seen as having three
distinct phases:
◦ The promotion of confidence building measures (CBMs)
◦ The development of preventative diplomacy instruments
◦ The development of conflict resolution mechanisms
The other reason for taking the ARF’s claims to
having some normative and socializing impact
seriously is the transformation in the behaviour of
China.
22. VI. ARF’S DECLINING RELEVANCE
Though ARF could have normative impact on its
member, its admirers are very few
Japan from: from one the most energetic supporter
to one of the increasing skepticism because
Japanese policymakers have lost confidence on
ARF to develop effective CBMs.
23. ARF’s Declining Relevance (Con’t)
ARF’s member division: Those who favor greater
transparency vs Those who don’t to avoid extra external
observation => limited scope of CBMs
ARF’s division is not defined by the different sides of the
Pacific
On traditional security issue: Japan usually lines up with
the Western (Japan’s uncertainty about its sense of
identity and place in East Asia; Japan and US bilateral
relationship)
24. ARF’s Declining Relevance (Con’t)
ARF are seen incapable of dealing with two most
important security issues-The war on terror & The
issues of Korean Peninsular)
North Korean’s admission prevented ARF from
discussing the Korean Peninsular issue because
ASEAN’s principle of not handling security matter
between member to avoid tension
25. ARF’s Declining Relevance (Con’t)
Putting terrorism on top of its agenda, ARF has
limited itself from dealing with other important
issues.
On the one hand, this reflects the capacity of the US
to shape strategic priorities of the region’s other
actors.
On the other, US, and China does not consider ARF
as their go-to forum of choice to discuss the
resolution of regional security problems. For ex:
China in the South China Sea; China, the US,

29. #3 US & ARF relations
(Unilateral Vs Multilateral Approach)
_USA 's foreign policy was not sure about the multilateralism to both East Asia ,
and Asia Pacific. The US was viewed a AWOL in Asia, and Dismissive of ARF.
_Bush refused the participation in may international criminal court, Kyoto Protocol,
as well as a series of agreements to limit the use of small arms, land mine, and the
biological weapons.
The USA didn't see ARF as a worthwhile tool to
achieve its strategic goals. The US 's foreign policy
prefers the unilateralist approach because of it military
power.
Iraq Invasion
_No UN
_In’t Criticisms
30. Multilateral system that APEC embodied has been
undermined by the growth of bilateral trade deals
through out the region.
31. VIII. CONCLUSION
The ARF has very limited capacities.
Has less capacity to address flashpoints.
Support for the participation of the parties in multilateral
mechanisms.
Engage player in the East Asian region’s evolving institutional
architecture.
The ARF led to the development of new institutions with a narrower.

Li-Ito Convention which allow China and Japan to settle their troops in Korea.
In 1894, there were quells against the incumbent government. China and Japan sent troops to tackle the rebellion.
After the job done, Japan refused to withdraw its troops. Thus, war between China and Korea occurred.
In 1895, China was defeated. So, both China and Japan tried to use diplomacy.
As a result, they signed Treaty of Shimonoseki, which give independent to Korea and China have to submit Liaodong Peninsular and Taiwan to Japan and have to open port for commercial.
Triple Intervention (Russia, France, and Germany) forced Japan to renounce claims to China. But China still had to pay indemnity to Japan.
