Download or read book Singapore ASEAN and the Cambodian Conflict 1978 1991 written by Ang Cheng Guan and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important study of the shifting diplomatic efforts around the response to and resolution of the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia is based on the records of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore, a key player in the complex diplomacy in the region at the end of the Cold War. The study provides a detailed account of the policies and decision-making of Singapore, as well as the diplomatic maneuverings of the other major parties and powers involved in the Cambodia conflict. It details one member country's input into the process of defining and developing a collective ASEAN position, a process which was formative for future diplomatic efforts by the regional grouping. Ang makes use of a variety of sources contemporary to the period under study, as well as records which have become available post-1991. The use of detailed records from one of the Southeast Asian players is a first for the study of the region's diplomacy. The book describes Singapore's role and illustrate how Singapore's management of the Cambodian issue was shaped by the fundamentals of Singapore's foreign policy. The account also reveals the dynamics of intra-ASEAN relations, as well as ASEAN's foreign relations in the context of the Cambodia problem.
Download or read book Cambodia s China Strategy written by Chanborey Cheunboran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the tensions within Cambodia’s foreign policy between a tight alignment with China, on the one hand, and Cambodia’s commitment to the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as well as its delicate foreign policy diversification towards other major powers, on the other hand. It traces the long history of Cambodia’s quest for survival from its bigger and historically antagonistic neighbours – the Thai and the Vietnamese – and its struggle for security and independence from the two neighbours and external major powers, particularly the United States and China. It discusses Cambodia’s geopolitical predicaments deriving from its location of being sandwiched between powerful neighbours and limited strategic options available for the Kingdom. The book also assesses recent developments in Cambodia’s relations with its neighbours and their implications for Cambodia’s increasingly tight alignment with China in recent years. It considers the extent to which the ruling regime in Cambodia depends on strong relations with China for its legitimacy and survival and argues that there are risks and danger for Cambodia in moving towards an increasingly tight alignment with China.
Download or read book Against All Odds written by Barry Desker and published by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnam's invasion and occupation of Cambodia on 25 December 1978 shattered the peace in Southeast Asia. The geo-political fabric of the region could have changed forever if nothing was done to oppose the invasion. Leading the charge was tiny Singapore, with her diplomats spearheading the thrust. Singapore could not do it alone, but had to have the support of like-minded nations from the region and beyond. Many sceptics, both within and outside Singapore, were convinced that Singapore's efforts would fail, as a tiny state could not possibly exert on the regional and global stage the kind of influence needed for the task. The Cambodia issue changed all that. Singapore and her diplomats, by their conviction and doggedness, took the lead in galvanizing international and regional support to thwart the occupation of Cambodia as a fait accompli by Vietnam. This paper tells the inside story of how Singapore's diplomats lobbied for ASEAN's interests in various international fora at a critical time in the region's history. The lessons learnt are still relevant today.

Download or read book Explaining Cambodia s Foreign Policy The Importance of Domestic Factors and Sino Cambodia Relations on ASEAN written by Minh Vu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the Cambodia decision to block the ASEAN Foreign Minister Statement from supporting the Permanent Court of Arbitration’s reward to the Philippines in the Philippines v China 2016 case on their disputed claims in the South China Sea. This paper argues that the Cambodian position on the South China Sea, and subsequently its decision to block confronting language in the ASEAN joint statements, is motivated by its domestic political leadership, namely Prime Minister Hun Sen, and not because of strategic geopolitical consideration. Prime Minister Hun Sen and his political party Cambodian People’s Party prioritize staying in power over any other foreign policy objective. Therefore, he has little interest in balancing the US or Vietnam or ASEAN but rather siding with China because it helps him secure his grip on power domestically. This paper will analyze the Cambodia’s decision in 2016 and the period leading up to it, answering what drives Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and how that decision reflects the ASEAN integration process.
Download or read book Indonesia s Role in the Resolution of the Cambodian Problem written by Em Nāgēndraprasād and published by Ashgate Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This investigation into the Cambodian question provides an in-depth study and critical analysis of Indonesia's diplomatic involvement in the Cambodian peace process. It traces the Cambodian problem to Vietnam's military intervention and the consequent installation of the People's Republic of Kampuchea in 1979, as well as examining ASEAN's perception of a security threat and recognition of Indonesia's potential to play the 'interlocutor' thanks to its rapport with the Khmer factions. It also explores the international community's growing interest in solving the problem coupled with the Paris International Conference on Cambodia and Indonesia's perseverance in the resolution which resulted in Indonesia winning the title of an 'honest peace broker'. The text will prove invaluable for readers of international relations, politics and conflict studies, and would also benefit those following Southeast Asian studies."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Last Days of the Mighty Mekong written by Brian Eyler and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated for its natural beauty and its abundance of wildlife, the Mekong river runs thousands of miles through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Its basin is home to more than 70 million people and has for centuries been one of the world's richest agricultural areas and a biodynamic wonder. Today, however, it is undergoing profound changes. Development policies, led by a rising China in particular, aim to interconnect the region and urbanize the inhabitants. And a series of dams will harness the river's energy, while also stymieing its natural cycles and cutting off food supplies for swathes of the population. In Last Days of the Mighty Mekong, Brian Eyler travels from the river's headwaters in China to its delta in southern Vietnam to explore its modern evolution. Along the way he meets the region’s diverse peoples, from villagers to community leaders, politicians to policy makers. Through conversations with them he reveals the urgent struggle to save the Mekong and its unique ecosystem.
Download or read book The United States and Southeast Asia written by Robert Kerrey and published by Council on Foreign Relations Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Though a central part of our modern history, Southeast Asia has tended to be relegated to the backwaters of U.S. foreign policy - except at moments of crisis. The July 1997 collapse of the Thai baht that threatened to destabilize the world financial markets was a chilling reminder of Southeast Asia's importance - and of the complex challenge it poses for the United States. The 1999 East Timor crisis was another tragic event that caught America off guard. The U.S. experience in Asia - where we have fought three wars in the past six decades - instructs that we ignore the region only at great cost." "The Independent Task Force on the United States and Southeast Asia sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations and chaired by former Senator Robert Kerrey, was formed to examine these issues. The Task Force found that instability or conflict in Southeast Asia - whether financial instability, genocide in Cambodia, turmoil in Indonesia, or potential conflict in the South China Sea - can rapidly become a matter of major global import that could ultimately threaten U.S. vital interests. The Task Force also concluded that U.S. policy toward Southeast Asia has been perceived in the region as hectoring, unnecessarily ad hoc, overbearing, and reactive." "The Task Force assessment and recommendations offer some guidance for more focused, better-integrated, and more valuable U.S. relations with Southeast Asia at a time of transition."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Second Chance written by Frederick Z. Brown and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was becoming increasingly clear in spring 1988 that the ten-year old war in Cambodia was approaching a turning point. For a variety of reasons, mostly domestic, Vietnam was under pressure to withdraw its forces from the region and had, in fact, pledged to do so by 1990/ However, in order to gain the benefits it sought from the international community, it was evident that Hanoi would need to go beyond merely ending its decade-long occupations and contribute to a political settlement satisfactory to all of the principal Cambodia and outside players. Similarly, Cambodia loomed as the main obstacle to achieving Soviet Party General Secretary Gorbachevs objective of normalizing relations with China. Thus, not only did Moscow encourage a negotiated settlement, but even on what was likely to the Kremlin was willing to see the brutal Khmer Rouge included in an interim structure in order to satisfy China that Beijings interest were being protected. The six member nations of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the principal backers of the noncommunist resistance were actively promoting a peaceful resolution, with certain differences and tensions among them. And, through it remained a second-order issue for the United State, it was obvious that Washington would have to reengage in Indochina, if not despite, their previous role their.
Download or read book Under Beijing s Shadow written by Murray Hiebert and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-08-15 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s rise and stepped-up involvement in Southeast Asia have prompted a blend of anticipation and unease among its smaller neighbors. The stunning growth of China has yanked up the region’s economies, but its militarization of the South China Sea and dam building on the Mekong River has nations wary about Beijing’s outsized ambitions. Southeast Asians long felt relatively secure, relying on the United States as a security hedge, but that confidence began to slip after the Trump administration launched a trade war with China and questioned the usefulness of traditional alliances. This compelling book provides a snapshot of ten countries in Southeast Asia by exploring their diverse experiences with China and how this impacts their perceptions of Beijing’s actions and its long-term political, economic, military, and “soft power” goals in the region.
