Ethnic Politics, Political Security, and the Selective Application of the Non-Interference Principle within Asean
Leadership turnover, winning coalition size and foreign policy realignment
Why do states realign their foreign policies toward a major power? Conventional wisdom holds that change in political leadership tends to result in less drastic foreign policy realignment in countries with large winning coalitions. The current study capitalizes on this conventional wisdom by invoking a key insight of the selectorate theory, the non-linear welfare function. Since the welfare of coalition members falls before it rises as the size o…
Southeast Asia amid Sino-US Competition: Power Shift and Regional Order Transition
Most observers agree that, for Southeast Asian countries, the prospect of Sino-US competition presents an epic challenge. There is, however, broad disagreement on exactly how great power rivalry would affect the region. This article aims to examine the ongoing debates and discussions and demonstrates that they revolve around four key issues: (1) how the regional balance of power would shift; (2) how Sino-US competition would affect Southeast Asia…
Landscape Changes and Optimization in an Ecological Red Line Area: A Case Study in the Upper Reaches of the Ganjiang River
The key to optimizing ecological management is to study the spatial configuration of the landscape and the dynamic changes and their driving mechanisms at the landscape scale. The ecological red line area in the hilly area of the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River was chosen as the research area in this study. Based on the theory of landscape ecology and the evolution of biological communities, a multiscale coupling model was adopted and combine…
Great power rivalry and the agency of secondary states: A study based on China’s relations with Southeast Asian countries
In recent years, many observers perceive ascendant Chinese influence in Southeast Asia. Existing research attributes China’s recent advances in the region to Beijing’s successful implementation of a dual strategy of coercion and inducement or Washington’s lack of commitments to the region. In a departure from the literature, this article emphasizes the agency of Southeast Asian states. It argues that great power competition empowers the secondary…
Ethnic politics, complex legitimacy crisis, and intramural relations within Asean
This article examines ethnic conflict and its impacts on intramural relations within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It suggests that ethnic politics at home often propels leaders to get involved in ethnic conflict elsewhere. In the ASEAN context, regional institutions, especially the principle of non-interference, mitigate the effects of ethnic politics and preclude the possibility of coercive intervention. The third state is…
Trans-border ethnic groups and interstate relations within Asean: A case study on Malaysia and Thailand's southern conflict
Existing literature contends that state capacity is an important variable that determines a country's foreign policy behavior. Another strand of literature focuses on a more specific issue - the international relations of ethnic conflict, maintaining that domestic ethnic conflict may result in interstate conflict. In Southeast Asia, many weak states suffer from protracted ethnic conflict. However, few attempts have been made to assess the role of…
Individual Choice and State-Led Nationalist Mobilization in China: Self-interested Patriots
Personalized Foreign Policy Decision-making and Economic Dependence: A Comparative Study of Thailand and the Philippines' China Policies
The existing literature on foreign policy formulation suggests that individual leaders in small and politically unstable states exert a disproportionate impact on foreign policy-making. Some analysts further contend that personalized foreign policy decision-making is more likely to suffer from discontinuities. This article, however, argues that the foreign policies of small and politically unstable states exhibit considerable variation in terms o…
