Recalibrating the Islamic State Threat in Southeast AsiaBy Phuong Nguyen (@PNguyen_DC), Associate Fellow, and Conor Cronin (@ConorCroninDC), Research Associate, Southeast Asia Program (@SoutheastAsiaDC), CSIS July 7, 2016 For many Southeast Asian governments, terrorism threats rank among their top security concerns. Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore—no strangers to dealing with violent Islamist threats—have been on heightened alert for the past two years over concern that attacks linked to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant group could take place in their territories.

At the end of a recent ASEAN-China summit in Kunming, China, on June 13, Beijing pressured several ASEAN members close to it to withdraw their support for an ASEAN joint press statement expressing “serious concerns” about recent developments in the South China Sea. These events raised fundamental questions about the ability of the grouping to pull together amid challenges posed by the region’s new strategic realities.

New AMTI Feature:
Arbitration Support Tracker
A final ruling is expected soon from a tribunal at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague hearing Manila’s case against Beijing’s claims in the South China Sea. How many countries recognize the decision as legally binding on both parties and call for it to be respected will determine its ultimate value, as international pressure is the court’s only enforcement mechanism. In an effort to deflect that pressure, Chinese officials and state media have been trumpeting the number of countries that have voiced support for Beijing’s position that the tribunal lacks jurisdiction in the case and the ruling is therefore invalid. China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs claims that number has climbed to 60, but has not provided a list of the countries or, in most cases, evidence for their support.

Two months after the National League for Democracy (NLD) government took office, State Counselor and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi embarked on a process to start addressing the plight of stateless Muslims in Rakhine State, one of the most intractable—and internationally contentious—challenges facing Myanmar. In a joint press conference with U.S. secretary of state John Kerry on May 22, Aung San Suu Kyi asked that she be given “enough space” to tackle the problem.

English: A Rebalanced transatlantic policy toward the asia-pacific region Heather A. Conley, James Mina, and Phuong NguyenMỹ và Liên minh châu Âu cùng chia sẻ lợi ích và các mục tiêu chung trong khu vực châu Á Thái Bình Dương. Thương mại và đầu tư là các thành phần chính yếu của chính sách của Mỹ và của Liên minh châu Âu, và cả hai đã mở nhiều điều đình đầy kỳ vọng với các đối tác trong vùng để tự do hóa thương mại với các nền kinh tế phát triển mạnh ở Đông Á. Cả hai cũng đã tìm cách củng cố các quy luật quốc tế, thủ tục pháp lý và khả năng của các tổ chức trong vùng. Tuy nhiên, bất chấp những mục tiêu chung, Hoa Kỳ và Liên minh châu Âu dường như đã theo đuổi các chính sách độc lập – và có lúc cạnh tranh với nhau – tại Châu Á Thái Bình Dương, do đó thỉnh thoảng gây cản trở việc thực hiện các lợi ích chiến lược chung. Khi Hoa Kỳ và Liên minh châu Âu tham gia sâu thêm vào khu vực và với các quyết định quan trọng dần xuất hiện ở tầm nhìn (đáng chú ý liên quan đến việc chấp nhận Trung Quốc là nền kinh tế thị trường và phán quyết của Tòa án trọng tài về chủ quyền lãnh thổ ở Biển Đông), làm thế nào các mối quan hệ xuyên Đại Tây Dương được sử dụng hiệu quả hơn để thúc đẩy phát triển kinh tế của khu vực, đảm bảo việc áp dụng các tiêu chuẩn kinh tế mạnh mẽ, tăng cường cấu trúc thể chế của khu vực, và duy trì các nguyên tắc pháp lý quốc tế?

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

A Rebalanced transatlantic policy toward the asia-pacific regionHeather A. Conley, James Mina, and Phuong NguyenThe United States and the European Union share similar interests and objectives in the Asia Pacific. Yet despite these shared goals, both powers have pursued independent – and at times competitive – policies in the region, which have on occasion hindered the realization of mutual strategic interests. As the United States and European Union deepen their engagement with the region and with key decisions looming on the horizon (notably regarding granting China market economy status and the Arbitral Tribunal’s ruling on territorial claims in the South China Sea), how can the transatlantic relationship be used more effectively to accelerate the region’s economic development, ensure the application of robust economic standards, strengthen the region’s institutional architecture, and uphold international legal principles?
