Abstract

In June 2023, Thailand took a unilateral move to engage with Myanmar’s junta government, surprising ASEAN. It occurred in the midst of the lack of progress that ASEAN has made in addressing the Myanmar crisis, which directly affects Thailand as Myanmar’s closest neighbor. Although Thailand’s move did not worsen the situation, other ASEAN countries criticised it as going against ASEAN’s stance on the crisis. This article argues that Thailand’s decision was largely driven by concerns about its own national security. In terms of the research method, this article employs a qualitative approach. In particular, national security concepts and rational choice theory are employed to build the analysis. Using secondary data, this study shows how the Myanmar crisis impacts Thailand’s security, such as refugee inflows and airspace violations. ASEAN’s lack of progress, Thailand’s experience in engaging with Myanmar, and the presence of a precedent by Cambodia can also be seen as some of the driving forces behind its eventual move.

Abstract

The Pacific region has become a major focus of international attention following indications of increasing Chinese military involvement in the past decade. This involvement has raised significant concerns, especially for countries in the region, including Australia. As one of the regional powers and traditional actors in the Pacific, Australia faces complex national defense and security policy challenges as a result of Chinese military involvement in the region. Using a qualitative approach with desk study analysis, this paper attempts to explain the implications of Chinese military involvement in the Pacific region for Australia's national defense and security policy through the framework of security dilemma analysis and strategic perspectives in foreign policy making. This paper finds that China's military presence in the Pacific region affects defense strategy and poses new security challenges for Australia, including increasing security pressures and changes in Australia's defense strategy. In response, Australia has taken proactive steps by strengthening cooperation with regional allies, enhancing defense capabilities and strengthening security diplomacy in the Pacific region as a form of transformation of its defense policy.

Abstract

Abraham Accord, which took place in December 2020, marks a dramatic shift in the Middle East and North Africa region. Several Arab states, such as Morocco, the UAE, Bahrain, and Sudan, got involved in the pacification process to establish diplomatic relations with Israel. America supported this accord as the ally of Israel in the region. This is because the Arab states that got involved in the accord persistently resisted Israel and supported Palestine to be free. One of the countries that is involved is Morocco. Located in the Northern-Western part of Africa, Morocco faces many external and internal challenges. This, in fact, puts Morocco's position in constant danger. Not confined to problems related to water scarcity, climate change, and underdeveloped agricultural sectors, Morocco also faces the growing threat of Algeria. In addition, Morocco's relations with France also deteriorate due to the scandals of using espionage software. This, in turn, left Morocco with the difficult decision which led to its eventual participation in the accord. In the paper, I analyze why Morocco normalized its diplomatic relations with Israel using the defensive-realist arguments provided by Mearsheimer. Mearsheimer argues that countries utilize power for the sake of their survival. Hence, I hold a view that Morocco's participation in the accord is to neutralize the threats it is facing for the sake of its survival. This paper uses the qualitative method.

Abstract

This research discusses the strategies of the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Manila, the Philippines, in increasing Indonesian trade to the Philippines in 2022. The movement of Indonesian trade to the Philippines has experienced fluctuation from 2018 to 2021. In 2022, there was a significant increase after the pandemic considering the trade stagnation in 2018-2019 in a stable international condition. This research using descriptive-qualitative research method, found that strategy of the Indonesian Embassy in Manila to enhance trade through trade promotion, business matching, business forums, and export cooperation facilitation was planned using a SWOT analysis. This analysis shows that trade promotion and business forums leverage the strengths of diplomatic networks and market expansion opportunities, while business matching and export facilitation are optimized to address weaknesses such as bureaucracy and cultural differences. Threats from global economic instability and market competition are identified to ensure the right strategies are implemented to achieve trade objectives in 2022. In 2022, the Indonesian Embassy in Manila successfully increased Indonesian trade to the Philippines by 50%, up by 4.18% from 2021, through the successful implementation of economic diplomacy strategies in the trade sector.

Abstract

This paper seeks to explain the role of regional actorness in complex negotiations by analyzing ASEAN and the EU’s attempt at creating a region-to-region free trade agreement. In 2007, ASEAN and EU initiated a region-to-region negotiation in the hope of creating one of the largest trading blocs in the world. However, until the end of 2023, or after 16 years of negotiation, not much progress can be observed. While there are several explanations for this, including the competing interest between major powers and the failure to manage diversity, this article argues that one core element for the slow progress is the differing levels of actorness—loosely defined as actors’ internal capability and external acceptance between ASEAN and the EU. The methodology used in this article is through a literature review. The literature itself consists of articles journals, books, websites, documents, and conference papers. Throughout the negotiation, ASEAN tends to display a lower degree of actorness, which leads to challenges in undertaking decisions and building a coherent front to external actors compared to the EU. Another crucial factor is the nature of the negotiation, which creates a multilayered problem for both actors. Thus, while there are several hindrances during the negotiations, the inherent difference in actorness between the two remains to be a challenge.      KEYWORDS Actorness; Complex Negotiations Interregionalism; ASEAN; European Union
