Introduction
At its formation forty years ago on 8 August 1967, ASEAN (created by a joint political declaration rather than a formal charter) was an association of just five Southeast Asian nations in a Southeast divided by the Cold War. In the immediate aftermath of konfrontasi, Singapore's separation from Malaysia and the Philippines' claim to Sabah, the top intra-mural concern of the time was rebuilding mutual confidence. It took nine years before ASEAN wa…
Michael Leifer
Michael Leifer who died in 2001 was undisputedly the doyen of Southeast Asian Studies. He has left behind a very rich legacy of works on the Southeast Asian region — ASEAN, regional order and conflict, great power policies towards the region, maritime security in Southeast Asia, and studies of the domestic policies of individual Southeast Asian countries. He also addressed broader thematic issues such as nationalism and revolution in Southeast As…
Southeast Asia in 2002
Introduction Globalization thickens interconnectivity among peoples and between nations but also accelerates the process of change in both the domestic and international realms. For a fast globalizing Southeast Asia, turning points have quickly become new defining moments but not always for the better in terms of security and growth. The region's recovery from the destabilizing effects of the 1997/98 Asian economic/financial crisis had been patch…

Asean

Changing Global Trends and Their Effects on the Asia‐Pacific
This article broadly surveys the thawing of the various cold war rela tionships since 1989 and seeks to account for the trends underlining these international changes. The effects of various developments, such as the change in superpower relations and the emergence of muJtipoJarity, the shifts from geopolitics to geoeconomics, the decline of ideological affiliations, the democratization tendencies, and the persistence of regional disorder are dis…
Defence Spending in South-East Asia
The defence of Malaysia and Singapore
A New Assertiveness in Malaysian Foreign Policy
Since July 1981 there has been a distinct change in the style of political leadership in Malaysia. This occurred as a consequence of the resolution of the issue of political succession within UMNO's leadership ? the emergence of Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad as Prime Minister (holding in addition, the Defence portfolio) and Datuk Musa Hitam as Deputy Prime Minister (as well as Minister of Home Affairs). Domesti cally, this change is best reflect…
The Great Powers And Southeast Asia
Rearranging Five Power Defence Arrangements
One may well ask whether the author of Three Kingdoms on looking into the fortunes of Five Power defence relations would have been tempted to ruminate that alliances like empires, wax and wane; partners cleave, break asunder and recoalesce. There is perhaps an under standable inclination to understate the dramatic overtone of the parallelism. Yet the implication is quite apparent defence alliances freely entered into, often reflect an area of ove…
