The emergence and politics of polyalignment
In the Second Cold War between the US and China, middle ground countries are overwhelmingly refusing to choose sides. However, despite resultant talk of ‘new non-alignment’, they do not seek to keep major states at arm’s length, as in the first Cold War; rather, they seek to build and maintain connections with rival players as much as possible, reflecting their attachment to the deep networks created under globalisation in the decades since 1989.…
Global governance in the Second Cold War
This article examines how states in the Global South are responding to the challenges of the ‘Second Cold War’ (SCW) via global governance. Globalisation has enmeshed almost all states and societies in border-spanning networks, connecting them to the United States and China. With intensifying geopolitical rivalry, however, developing countries risk being corralled into exclusive arrangements, or have the great powers weaponise important networks…
Indonesia, nickel, and the political economy of polyalignment in the Second Cold War
Competing or complementary? Chinese loans and international bonds in Sri Lanka's default
Many see China as offering sovereign borrowers an alternative development model, competing with the West's neo-liberal model. Specifically, China's infrastructure loans are often contrasted with sovereign borrowing on bond markets, generating debates over which of these caused the global South debt crisis. We argue, first, that global South regimes view Chinese loans and international sovereign bonds as complementary and harness both to pursue th…
Explaining China’s approach to the global governance of sovereign debt distress
International Development Financing in the Second Cold War
China's rise as a major development financing provider is widely seen as challenging traditional donor states' influence over the norms and institutions of global development and over aid recipients. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, now often called a new or second Cold War, some argue that traditional donors are adopting Chinese-style practices to compete with China for developing countries' allegiance. This article supports the convergen…
Australia in World Affairs 2011–2015
The Australia in World Affairs series commenced in 1950 and provides a continuous, researched scholarly account of Australia's foreign policy. The twelfth volume, Australia in World Affairs 2011–2015: Navigating the New International Disorder, covered a turbulent period both domestically and internationally. Australia had four Prime Ministers in this period alone, there were growing challenges in the Middle East and Europe, as well as on Australi…
The Latecomer’s Rise
Why the West’s alternative to China’s international infrastructure financing is failing
As geopolitical rivalry intensifies, Western states have moved to compete with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). However, the mobilisation of funds for global infrastructure remains paltry, suggesting that Western states cannot contest Chinese dominance here. Why? Through comparative political economy analysis of China and the United States, we argue that serious competition cannot be willed into being by state managers thinking geostrategi…
China, international competition and the stalemate in sovereign debt restructuring
Until recently, developing countries were supposedly enjoying an unprecedented 'age of choice' when borrowing. Many observers were arguing then that geopolitical competition between lenders allowed them to extract better terms. Today, many face a looming debt crisis: financing options have shrivelled and restructuring talks are painfully slow, compounding debtors' misery. This is frequently attributed to creditors' geopolitical rivalry, reflectin…
Covid-19 and the Pathologies of Australia's Regulatory State
The COVID-19 pandemic has elicited a wide range of national responses with an even wider range of outcomes in terms of infections and mortalities. Australia is a rare success story, keeping deaths comparatively low, and infections too, until the Omicron wave. What explains Australia’s success? Typical explanations emphasise leaders’ choices. We agree, but argue that leaders’ choices, and whether these are implemented effectively, is shaped by the…
Future Directions to Manage Wildlife Health in a Changing Climate
For a progressive realism
What ideas and concepts might be used to reinvigorate a progressive approach to Australian foreign policy? In contrast to the clarity of the international vision provided by right-wing movements, there is uncertainty about the contours of a progressive approach to contemporary Australian foreign policy. This article outlines the basis of a ‘progressive realism’ that can challenge right-wing accounts. Progressive realism combines a ‘realistic’ dia…
Explaining the failure of global health governance during Covid-19
Global health governance (GHG) was one of COVID-19's earliest victims. Soon after the novel coronavirus escaped China, the World Health Organization (WHO) was marginalized, and the International Health Regulations became practically irrelevant, as nations adopted uncoordinated, ad hoc responses. Existing explanations of GHG's collapse are largely utopian, criticizing states for failing to empower the WHO with sufficient supranational authority. T…
Fractured China
Is China's rise a threat to international order? Fractured China shows that it depends on what one means by 'China', for China is not the monolithic, unitary actor that many assume. Forty years of state transformation – the fragmentation, decentralisation and internationalisation of party-state apparatuses – have profoundly changed how its foreign policy is made and implemented. Today, Chinese behaviour abroad is often not the product of a cohere…
Covid-19 and the failure of the neoliberal regulatory state
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed massive failures of governance at the global and national levels. Global health governance failed rapidly, with action quickly becoming nationally based, uncoordinated, and often zero-sum. However, domestic health governance also often fared very poorly, even in some of the wealthiest countries, which were ostensibly best-prepared to deal with a pandemic. Why? We argue that this reflects the inherent pathologies …
Explaining Myanmar’s Response to China’s Belt and Road Initiative
Myanmar's response to China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has changed from cool disengagement under the Thein Sein government (2011–2016) to an increasingly warm embrace under the National League for Democracy (2016–). This article explains this development with reference to the changing nature of domestic authority relations, which conditions how Myanmar's governments manage their asymmetric relations with China (as outlined in the special is…
Covid-19
Lockdowns and border closures to manage the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have caused the greatest global economic shock since the Great Depression. Does this also signal the end of economic globalization, the most significant trend of the past forty years? And if so, what kind of global political economy is emerging from the wreckage? In this article, I argue that COVID-19 is mainly intensifying pre-existing trends, set in motion by the global finan…
Institutionalism beyond methodological nationalism? The new interdependence approach and the limits of historical institutionalism
This article critiques New Interdependence Approach (NIA) explanations of global regulation, positing instead a State Transformation Approach (STA). Rightly critical of state-centric frameworks on the politics of globalisation, the NIA seeks to explain the emergence and distributional outcomes of global regulatory regimes, arguing that they stem from struggles sparked by overlapping rules that cut across national boundaries and which reshape dome…
State transformation and China’s engagement in global governance
Debates over the implications of China’s rise for global governance have reached an impasse, since evidence exists to support both ‘revisionist’ and ‘status-quo’ intentions. This means that neither is strictly falsifiable and hence the debate, as currently structured, is irresolvable. However, contradictions are explicable if we recognise that China is not a unitary state. Since the beginning of the reform era, its international engagements have …
Reframing the rising powers debate
The volume that we introduce breaks with the prevalent tendency in International Relations (IR) scholarship to treat rising powers (such as China, Russia, India and Brazil) as unitary actors in international politics. Although a neat demarcation of the domestic and international domains, on which the notion of unitary agency is premised, has always been a myth, these states’ uneven integration into the global political economy has eroded this per…
Understanding China’s ‘Belt and Road Initiative’
China’s massive ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ (BRI) – designed to build infrastructure and coordinate policymaking across Eurasia and eastern Africa – is widely seen as a clearly-defined, top-down ‘grand strategy’, reflecting Beijing’s growing ambition to reshape, or even dominate, regional and international order. This article argues that this view is mistaken. Foregrounding transformations in the Chinese party-state that shape China’s foreign poli…
China’s Response to Threats to Its Overseas Economic Interests
Chinese firms have acquired enormous overseas interests since 2000. As relative latecomers to global markets, they often invest in territories subject to high political risk, which is often heightened by poorly regulated Chinese practices. This article describes these risks to China’s growing overseas economic interests and explores China’s response to them. First, the Chinese party-state is gradually softening its insistence on ‘non-interference…
The Development-Insecurity Nexus in China's Near-Abroad
Surprisingly, perhaps, China's flagship Belt and Road Initiative expresses a familiar mix of the security–development nexus and liberal interdependence thesis: Chinese leaders expect economic development and integration will stabilise and secure neighbouring states and improve inter-state relations. However, drawing on the record of China's intensive economic interaction with Myanmar, we argue that the opposite outcome may occur, for two reasons.…
Security Governance and the Politics of State Transformation
A rapidly growing, self-identified scholarly subfield on “Security Governance” has recently emerged. Its signal contribution has been to explicate the expansion of security governance beyond traditional defense multilateralism to include diverse actors, networked transnationally across multiple scales. However, this literature is predominantly descriptive and evaluative. Lacking an explanatory theory, it struggles to explain security governance o…
The Political Economy of Myanmar's Transition
This is an Author's Original Manuscript of an article whose final and definitive form, the Version of Record, has been published in the JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY ASIA, 07 Feb 2013, copyright Taylor & Francis, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/00472336.2013.764143
Explaining Myanmar's regime transition
In 2010, Myanmar (Burma) held its first elections after 22 years of direct military rule. Few compelling explanations for this regime transition have emerged. This article critiques popular accounts and potential explanations generated by theories of authoritarian â regime breakdownâ and â regime maintenanceâ . It returns instead to the classical literature on military intervention and withdrawal. Military regimes, when not terminated by internal…
Rethinking the Role of State-owned Enterprises in China’s Rise
The massive overseas expansion of Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) is a central aspect of China’s ‘rise’ to great-power status. There is significant disagreement, however, over how to interpret SOEs’ role. Are they instruments of Chinese statecraft, being directed purposefully from Beijing as part of a ‘grand strategy’? Or are they relatively autonomous, profit-maximising businesses, their free-wheeling behaviour often undermining Chinese f…

Pacific Review 23:4, 479-502 as published in PACIFIC REVIEW 2010 © Taylor & Francis, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/09512748.2010.495996
The Politics and Governance of Non-Traditional Security1
The international security literature has recently observed the growing â securitizationâ of issues outside the traditional concern with interstate military conflict. However, this literature offers only limited explanations of this tendency and largely neglects to explain how the new security issues are actually governed in practice, despite apparent â securitizationâ leading to divergent outcomes across time and space. We argue that the rise of…

Failed states or a failed paradigm? State capacity and the limits of institutionalism
Regulatory Regionalism and the Dynamics of Territorial Politics
This article examines the emergence and politics of new modes of regional governance understood as a form of regulatory regionalism. Regulatory regionalism is defined in terms of the institutional spaces of regional regulation functioning within ostensibly national policy and political institutions. The central insight of this essay is that the politics of this regulatory regionalism can be conceptualised as a system of territorial politics fough…
Examining the Ethnic Minority Student Experience at Predominantly White Institutions
The researchers of this qualitative study conducted four focus groups to explore the college student experience of ethnic minorities in an institution of higher education. The purpose of the study was threefold: (a) to examine the experiences of ethnic minority students at a predominately White institution, (b) to discuss the similarities and differences of the experiences among the four groups, and (c) to identify student perspectives on the del…

Global Governance as State Transformation
Many argue today that global governance is ‘in crisis’. This reflects an undue emphasis on the fate of multilateral institutions: if they are deadlocked, global governance does not appear to be progressing. This is misplaced. Today, global governance is increasingly being pursued not by erecting supranational institutions empowered to govern issue areas directly, but by transforming states’ internal governance to enact international disciplines d…
Rising powers and state transformation
This article draws attention to the transformation of statehood under globalisation as a crucial dynamic shaping the emergence and conduct of ‘rising powers’. That states are becoming increasingly fragmented, decentralised and internationalised is noted by some international political economy and global governance scholars, but is neglected in International Relations treatments of rising powers. This article critiques this neglect, demonstrating …
Beyond Hybridity to the Politics of Scale
The evident failures of international peacebuilding and statebuilding interventions (PSBIs) have recently prompted a focus on the interaction between interventions and target societies and states. Especially popular has been the 'hybridity' approach, which understands forms of peace and governance emerging through the mixing of local and international agendas and institutions. This article argues that hybridity is a highly problematic optic. Desp…
Asean's Albatross
Following the abortive “Saffron Revolution” of autumn 2007, Burma's ASEAN partners were subject to the timeworn criticism that the grouping persistently fails to act against its pariah member due to its near-religious adherence to the norm of non-interference. Conversely, this paper argues that ASEAN's policy towards Burma has never been one of strict non-interference, but has always been premised on the claim that ASEAN can encourage political c…
China's ‘charm offensive’ in the Pacific and Australia's regional order
In recent years, a perception has emerged among many policymakers and commentators that the deepening of the People's Republic of China engagement in the Pacific Islands Region, predominantly through its expanding foreign aid programme, threatens to undermine the existing regional order, in which Australia is dominant. In this article, it is argued that China's apparent ‘charm offensive’ in the Pacific is mainly driven by commercial, not politica…
Capacity and its Fallacies
Considerable effort in recent years has gone into rebuilding fragile states. However, the debates over the effectiveness of such state-building exercises have tended to neglect that capacity building and the associated good governance programmes which comprise contemporary state building are essentially about transforming the state — meaning the ways in which political power is produced and reproduced. State capacity is now often presented as the…
China challenges global governance? Chinese international development finance and the Aiib
Many observers of international politics detect a growing Chinese challenge to the rules-based, liberal international order. In particular, some saw Beijing's recent creation of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) as a threat to existing organizations governing international development financing. This article broadly concurs with more sanguine accounts emphasizing the AIIB's similarity to existing multilateral development banks. Howe…

Good governance and security
This article analyses the Australian Agency for International Development's (AusAID) approach to overseas development assistance (ODA) through an examination of AusAID's recent White Paper. The White Paper focuses on the nexus between poverty reduction and security in the Asia-Pacific region. We argue that the Paper's emphasis upon good governance as the key to poverty reduction and security is fundamentally flawed. This stems from the particular…
Theorising regions through changes in statehood
The study of regionalism is often characterised as too fragmented, plagued by disagreements over such fundamental matters as its ontological and epistemological premises, which also hinder efforts at substantive comparison of regionalisation processes. In this article it is argued that to overcome these problems, what is required is a more rigorous incorporation of such studies within relevant work in state theory and political geography. The key…
(Post-)colonial state-building and state failure in East Timor
One potential explanation for the persistent gap between international state-builders' aspirations and achievements is their misguided understanding of states as institutional apparatuses abstracted and separated from society. State-society interpenetration is actually the historical norm, and a proper understanding of state forms requires close analysis of the conflicts between different social forces as they promote state projects that will adv…
Avian influenza, ‘viral sovereignty’, and the politics of health security in Indonesia
In December 2006, Indonesian Health Minister, Siti Fadilah Supari, shocked the world when announcing her government would no longer be sharing samples of the H5N1 avian flu virus, collected from Indonesian patients, with the World Health Organization, at a time when global fears of a deadly influenza pandemic were running high. For observers of Southeast Asian politics, the decision reinforced the view of the region as made up of states determine…
Correlates of Personal Orientation of Youth in Athletics
This paper tests the association of personal orientation and the athletic structure, sex and race. The data presented in this study were obtained from questionnaires administered to 790 students attending public educational institutions in a South Florida county during the spring of 1984. The data demonstrated that there are no significant differences in personal orientation between respondents that participated in the formal athletic structure a…

Exploring the Status of Black Male Faculty Utilizing Data from the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty
The present study utilized data from the 1993 and 1999 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty to describe the status of Black male full-time instructional faculty and staff in the academy. Data were also presented to show the degree to which certain characteristics (e.g., principle field of teaching, highest credentials attained, time spent on teaching, research, and service activities) of Black male faculty have changed in recent years. In addi…
Failed states or a failed paradigm? State capacity and the limits of institutionalism
Why development requires less nuance and more class
The authors review critically an article by Patrick Kilby in Vol. 61(1) of the AJIA on Australian development policy. They claim that the difference between the Government's program and the alternatives suggested by Kilby is one of degree as his objections retain the same neoliberal limitations as AusAID and the Washington Consensus. The authors argue that reducing poverty in a globalized world means going further than institutional changes and c…
Asean intervention in Cambodia
Despite their other theoretical differences, virtually all scholars of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) agree that the organisation's members share an almost religious commitment to the norm of non-intervention.This article disrupts this consensus, arguing that ASEAN repeatedly intervened in Cambodia's internal political conflicts from 1979-1999, often with powerful and destructive effects.ASEAN's role in maintaining Khmer Rouge…

Risk management, neo-liberalism and the securitisation of the Australian aid program
Perhaps the most notable trend of recent years in the development of the Australian overseas aid program has been its ‘securitisation’. The 2006 Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) White Paper was explicit in linking Australia’s own security with poverty reduction in the near region of Southeast Asia and Southwest Pacific (AusAID 2006a: ix). The connection between development assistance and security is far from novel. During …

The region within
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of regionalism and regional initiatives in the Southwest Pacific, driven primarily by the Australian government. There is little doubt that the new regionalism has largely been prompted by the Australian government's realigned security agenda following the September 11 and Bali terrorist attacks, and broader concerns about 'non-traditional' security risks. However, what is novel about this recent drive…
Beyond methodological nationalism, but where to for the study of regional governance
In this special issue of the Australian Journal of International Affairs, ‘Risk, Regulation and New Modes of Regional Governance in the Asia-Pacific’, it has been argued that new modes of regional governance in the Asia-Pacific region have become embedded within the domestic practices and institutions of states at the national and/or subnational levels of governance, thereby escaping the traditional focus of the international relations literature…
Governing disorder
The Australian Federal Police has in recent years become an important actor in both the implementation and design of Australian-led state building interventions in Australia's near region of Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. The article focuses on the recent expansion of the Australian Federal Police as a way of understanding the emergence of a new partly (and strategically) deterritorialized, ‘regional’ frontier of the Australian state. With…

State Building or Crisis Management? A critical analysis of the social and political implications of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands
The Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (ramsi), an Australian-led state-building intervention, has attracted considerable attention in policy-making and scholarly circles world-wide since its July 2003 inception. ramsi was lauded by the Development Assistant Committee of the oecd as a model for good practice to be followed by state builders elsewhere because of its perceived success in halting violent conflict and fostering a return t…
Democratization and foreign policy in Southeast Asia

Still in the “Drivers’ Seat”, but for how Long? Asean's Capacity for Leadership in East-Asian International Relations
This paper assesses the capacity of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to moderate great-power relations in East Asia, especially in light of recent regional developments that have challenged ASEAN's traditional modus operandi and its corporate cohesion. The first of three sections argues that capacity emerges not from institutional arrangements but rather the social relationships that give rise to particular institutions, and the…

State Transformation, Territorial Politics and the Management of Transnational Risk
The perceived emergence in recent years of potentially cataclysmic transnational risks has been a growing concern for policymakers and practitioners, as well as an area of considerable scholarly interest. Existing sociological approaches to the study of risk, which have become influential in a range of related social scientific fields, highlight important dimensions of this phenomenon, but are unable to adequately explain why these risk depiction…
Asean, Sovereignty and Intervention in Southeast Asia
Contemporary Southeast Asia (CSEA) is one of the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute"s flagship publications. Now in its fourth decade of publication, CSEA has succeeded in building up an international reputation as one of Southeast Asia"s premier academic journals. The aim of the peer reviewed journal is to provide subscribers with up to date and in-depth analysis of critical trends and developments in Southeast Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific region.…
Mitigating the Risk to Primitive Accumulation
In recent years, various forms of inter/transnational state-building have become increasingly common as a way of managing the perceived risk posed by dysfunctional governance in so-called fragile states to Western security. In Solomon Islands, the Australian government has led a robust and expansive regional intervention, designed to build the capacity of the Solomon Islands government and bureaucracy to provide more effective governance. Dominan…

Sovereignty, intervention, and social order in revolutionary times
This article explores how sovereignty and (non-)intervention are implicated in the (re)production of specific social orders. Sovereignty and the non-interference principle circumscribe ‘domestic’ politics from ‘the international’, defining who is legitimately included or excluded from the struggles that determine political and social orders. State managers seek to admit forces and resources favourable to the order they are seeking to create, whil…
