Negotiating with North Korea: The Six Party Talks and the Nuclear Issue
North Korea’s nuclear weapons program has provoked much apprehension in the international community in recent years. The Six Party Talks were convened in 2003 to prevent North Korea from developing nuclear weapons. They brought together the US, China, Russia, Japan as well as North and South Korea in the effort to negotiate a multilateral resolution of North Korea’s nuclear program but the parties had widely different views and approaches. This b…

Russia and North Korea: Dilemmas and Interests
Russia had two objectives in its relationship with North Korea. One was denuclearization and the other was to promote influence on the Korean Peninsula to balance the U.S. and Japan. Denuclearization has failed, and Russia will adjust to a nuclear North Korea to further its second aim

Russia and Southeast Asia: A New Relationship
Russia has been struggling to develop a relationship with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and to be included in Asia-Pacific regionalism. The rebirth of Russia after the demise of the Soviet Union in December 1991 brought with it a repudiation of superpower ambitions and outlying areas such as Southeast Asia dropped in terms of priorities. It was only after Putin emerged as president in April 2000 that Russia's interest in Sout…
Oil and territory in Putin's relations with China and Japan
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has centralized decision making in Moscow and has reduced the role of domestic actors. He has demonstrated his own personal management of foreign policy in relation to China and Japan. He has used negotiations over oil and territory to place Russia in a more favourable position between them. In relation to oil, he has overruled the oil company Yukos and others within his own government and decided in favour of th…
Russia and Southeast Asia: A New Relationship
Russia's New Role in Central Asia
During the Yeltsin era, Russian interest in Central Asia lapsed. Under Vladimir Putin, Russia has moved to strengthen its role in the region because of Islamic fundamentalism, fear of displacement by America, and the presence of oil and natural gas reserves. The problem is that Putin has relied upon local authoritarian leaders for influence, which exposes Russia to regional political change
Russia and the Cis in 2003: Regional Reconstruction
Russia's position in Asia has been consolidating according to two developments. The first was the restructuring of Russia's presence in the former Soviet Union. Various new groupings have arisen that offer Russia alternatives to the Commonwealth of Independent States. The second was the expansion of Russia's role in the Asia Pacific region and the Korean peninsula, as energy supplier to China and Japan, and as an arms seller
Asia Pacific Security - Values and Identity
The main theme of this book is that security is not just about defence from external attack, but embraces the protection of identity and values which cultures regard as important, and which they may regard as worth fighting for.

Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States in 2002: Going Separate Ways
Russia's President Putin strengthened the presidency over the legislature, where he undermined the position of the Communists, a move that may facilitate economic reforms. He also moved against the oligarchs who control much of the economy. Putin has made the economy his main priority, but the trends are not optimistic, and a long-term improvement cannot be predicted yet. In terms of foreign policy, Putin's turn to the West in 2001 in response to…

In terms of global interests the Russian leadership has sought diplomatic balance against the US, in terms of regional …
Thailand and Myanmar: The perils of ‘constructive engagement
Thailand has pursued a policy of ‘constructive engagement’ towards Myanmar since Chatichai Chunawan's government, which was in office from August 1988 until February 1991. While the international community has condemned Myanmar's military leadership for human rights violations Thailand has promoted closer relations with the ruling regime in Myanmar, or the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) utilizing the idea of ‘constructive engagem…

Trends, Developments and Challenges in Southeast Asia
Four trends have been noticeable since the end of the Cambodian conflict which are illustrative of Southeast Asia's greater interaction with the Asia Pacific region as a whole. The first is the expansion of regionalism as ASEAN is extended to embrace all mainland Southeast Asia. ASEAN's expansion is a particular success for Jakarta in view of its long-held vision of a united Southeast Asian community including all Southeast Asian mainland states.…

International Linkages and Regional Interests in Soviet Asia-Pacific Policy
THE Asia-PACIFIc REGION has become more important to the Soviet Union since Mikhail Gorbachev assumed power in the Soviet Union in March 1985. The renewed Soviet interest in the region reflects several fundamental international developments which point to the greater significance of this region for superpower competition. Europe is a relatively declining priority for the superpowers when measured against the intensity of their interest in that re…
Seato: Why It Survived until 1977 and Why It Was Abolished
The South East Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO) was established under the aegis of the Manila Pact which was formed in September 1954. As an international organization with its headquarters in Bangkok, SEATO had two functions; first, it was to provide limited economic assistance and counter-insurgency advice to its Southeast Asian members — Thailand and the Philippines.

The Soviet Union in Southeast Asia: Motives, Limits and Opportunities
Soviet interest in Southeast Asia is largely a function of global priori ties. The region's significance in Soviet foreign policy derives not from any perceived immediate defensive value but from its proximity to areas of strategic offensive interest and from its obvious contiguity with China. Unlike Eastern Europe or East Asia it is not a region of primary importance for the defence of the homeland. On the contrary, its worth in Soviet policy is…
Thailand: The Erosion of a Balanced Foreign Policy
TRADITIONALLY, Thailand has accommodated itself to superior power, bargaining compliance for protection and obligating the dominant state in the region to come to its defense. Thailand accepted Japanese occupation during World War II and even declared war on the allied powers, but manipulated an obliging helplessness that subsequently evoked U.S. protection against British demands for retribution. Indeed, this disarming quality of the Thais has p…
