Fully Lifting the U.S. Lethal Arms Ban Will Add Momentum to U.S.-Vietnam Relations

By Murray Hiebert (@MurrayHiebert1), Senior Adviser and Deputy Director, and Phuong Nguyen, Associate Fellow (@PNguyenDC), Southeast Asia Program (@SoutheastAsiaDC), CSIS

May 12, 2016

Ahead of President Barack Obama’s visit to Vietnam in late May, officials and analysts in both Washington and Hanoi have been talking about whether the United States should fully lift the ban on the sale of lethal weapons to Vietnam that was imposed when the Vietnam War ended in 1975. The issue has been given added urgency as bilateral relations have increasingly warmed and in light of shared U.S. and Vietnamese interests in preserving maritime security in the South China Sea.

ASEAN should choose CUES for the South China Sea

Author: Lee YingHui, RSIS

Recent developments in the South China Sea are a serious cause for concern for Southeast Asian states, which have a huge interest in ensuring the safety and security of these waters given their importance for international shipping. Ongoing militarisation in the disputed waters increases the risks of unintended military confrontations, threatening regional stability.

China’s extensive land reclamation and installation of military facilities on the disputed islands, together with the United States’ increasingly high-profile naval operations in the region, further increase the complexity and volatility of the situation in the South China Sea.

Sunnylands Summit Provides Opportunity To Bolster U.S.-Southeast Asia Ties

By Murray Hiebert (@MurrayHiebert1), Senior Fellow and Deputy Director, Chair for Southeast Asia Studies (@SoutheastAsiaDC), CSIS

January 7, 2015

President Barack Obama will host leaders from the 10 ASEAN countries for a summit at the lush Sunnylands retreat in southern California on February 15 and 16 in a gesture aimed at deepening U.S. ties to this dynamic region. The president raised the idea of the meeting with Southeast Asian leaders at the U.S.-ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur in November 2015, during which he and his ASEAN counterparts announced the upgrading of U.S.-ASEAN relations to a strategic partnership. The leaders will look to flesh out the ASEAN-U.S. Plan of Action 2016–2020 that they endorsed at the summit in Kuala Lumpur. Tiếp tục đọc “CSIS: Southeast Asia from Scott Circle – Jan 7, 2016” →

Southeast Asian Nations Watch Paris for Deal to Cut Greenhouse Gases

By Murray Hiebert (@MurrayHiebert1), Senior Fellow and Deputy Director, Chair for Southeast Asia Studies (@SoutheastAsiaDC), CSIS

December 3, 2015

Much of the focus at the Paris climate summit that began on November 30 will be on the delegations from the United States, China, and India, and the pledges of the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitters to limit emissions, protect forests, and launch rigorous renewable energy projects. Countries in Southeast Asia, several of which are among the most vulnerable to the impact of climate change, are watching closely to see if the nearly 200 participating countries put forward action plans robust enough to pull the world away from its trajectory toward perilous levels of global warming.

Tại sao hội nhập ASEAN lại qua con đường kinh tế

~ Phạm Thu Hương ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

NCBĐ – Thứ năm, 05 Tháng 11 2015 16:16

Các nước ASEAN tập trung vào hội nhập về kinh tế bởi sự hội nhập về chính trị là điều “không tưởng” ở khu vực này do có những khác biệt lớn về các ý niệm cơ bản như quyền lực, bộ máy lãnh đạo, vai trò của nhân dân.

Trong khi chỉ với chưa đầy 20 tháng nữa là tròn nửa thế kỉ thành lập và phát triển, ASEAN sẽ chính thức trở thành một cộng đồng vào ngày 31/12 tới. Sự hội nhập này về cơ bản đang và sẽ tiếp tục được triển khai trong lĩnh vực kinh tế. ASEAN có tham vọng và chủ động trong việc tạo ra một thị trường và cơ sở sản xuất chung.

U.S. Defense Secretary to Join Aircraft Carrier on South China Sea Patrol

Asean summit founders after China insists on no mention of territorial dispute

ByTrefor Moss And Gordon Lubold WSJ

Updated Nov. 4, 2015 10:23 a.m. ET

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter will visit a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier on patrol in the South China Sea on Thursday in a show of strength to reinforce Washington’s resistance to Chinese assertiveness in the disputed region.

The growing U.S.-China rivalry in the South China Sea overshadowed a high-level Asian defense summit in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday as the Malaysian hosts confirmed there would be no agreement to cap talks, which ultimately foundered on the question of how to mediate territorial disputes.

ASEAN can survive great-power rivalry in Asia

~ Đào Thu Hằng ~ Bình luận về bài viết này
4 October 2015
Author: Amitav Acharya, American University
Eastasiaforum – Pundits and policymakers increasingly see changing great-power politics in Asia as a challenge to ASEAN. China’s growing military assertiveness in the South China Sea, the US ‘rebalancing’ strategy, Japan’s moves to reinterpret its constitution, and India’s growing military presence and assertive diplomacy all press upon ASEAN’s choices in the region.A satellite image, issued by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) think tank, showing an airstrip under construction at Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratly Islands. (Photo: AFP)Some argue that ASEAN is both toothless and clueless in responding to these changes. Seen as ‘talk shops’, ASEAN’s regional institutions — the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), ASEAN+3, ASEAN+6 and the East Asian Summit (EAS) — might have been sufficient when great-power relations were less volatile right after the Cold War, but they have outlived their usefulness. ‘ASEAN centrality’, and even its very survival, is being written off.

Khi kết nối Nam Á và Đông Nam Á

English: The case for connecting South Asia and Southeast Asia

Tác giả: Ganeshan Wignaraja, Peter Morgan và Michael G. Plummer.

Cơ hội mới cho liên kết và hòa nhập Nam Á – Đông Nam Á

Asiapathways – adbi – Thời gian đã chín muồi để thúc đẩy hội nhập kinh tế giữa hai khu vực Nam Á và Đông Nam Á. Kỷ nguyên tăng trưởng chậm“thông thường”sắp tới của các nền kinh tế công nghiệp phát triển diễn ra sau cuộc khủng hoảng tài chính toàn cầu cho thấy các nền kinh tế Châu Á cần dựa vào nhu cầu nội địa và khu vực nhiều hơn để đảm bảo sự tăng trưởng nội tại của mỗi quốc gia. Tốc độ tăng trưởng chậm gần đây của Trung Quốc đặt ra nền tảng xa hơn cho việc xét đến cơ hội tăng trưởng giữa Nam Á và Đông Nam Á. Các động thái hướng đến thành lập Cộng đồng Kinh tế Hiệp hội các nước Đông Nam Á – ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations Economic Community – AEC) trong năm 2015 và hơn thế nữa sẽ tạo ra một thị trường kết nối hơn và rộng hơn với sức mua lớn và giúp mở rộng các nền kinh tế. Điều này sẽ tạo thuận lợi cho việc nâng cấp hệ thống sản xuất định hướng bởi dòng vốn đầu tư trực tiếp nước ngoài (FDI) và củng cố vai trò của ASEAN trong việc dẫn dắt hội nhập khu vực Châu Á.

Aquino’s Legacy Secure but Philippines’ Challenges Remain

By Phuong Nguyen (@PNguyen_DC), Research Associate, and John Juenemann, Researcher, Sumitro Chair for Southeast Asia Studies (@SoutheastAsiaDC), CSIS

August 6, 2015

President Benigno Aquino used his final State of the Nation Address on July 27 to cement his legacy of anticorruption efforts and track record of revamping the once-sluggish Philippine economy. While Aquio has played a leading role in steering the Philippines in the right direction over the past five years, his term will end in 2016—as Philippine presidents are constitutionally constrained to a six-year term. Nonetheless, the Philippines still faces daunting challenges ahead, including in its internal and external security, defense modernization drive, and economic reform agenda.
