Contemporary threats to human security have prompted middle powers to call again for the establishment of a rapid reaction force even as they failed to implement the Multinational Standby High Readiness Brigade (SHIRBRIG) over a decade ago. Despite this failure, much of what has been written on middle powers simply assumed that they successfully contributed to human security. Previous studies on rapid reaction force and SHIRBRIG also lacked a theoretical examination - merely identifying lessons learned and offering policy recommendations. Utilising Ronald M. Behringer’s conceptualisation of middle power theory which posits that middle powers use the concept of human security to design instruments that address contemporary security challenges, this article attempts to bridge the gaps in the literature by arguing that middle powers were only successful in creating a rapid reaction force, but not in providing the material capabilities to implement it. Ultimately, the concept of human security was not enough to make middle powers commit vital resources to SHIRBRIG.
当代对人类安全的威胁促使中等大国再次呼吁建立一支快速反应部队,尽管它们在十多年前未能实施多国待命高度戒备旅(SHIRBRIG)。尽管失败了,但许多关于中等大国的文章都简单地假设,它们成功地为人类安全做出了贡献。以前关于快速反应部队和SHIRBRIG的研究也缺乏理论检验——仅仅是确定经验教训并提出政策建议。罗纳德·m·贝林格(Ronald M. Behringer)的中等大国理论(假定中等大国利用人类安全的概念来设计应对当代安全挑战的工具)的概念化,本文试图通过论证中等大国只成功地建立了快速反应部队,而没有提供实施它的物质能力,来弥合文献中的空白。最终,人类安全的概念不足以使中等大国将重要资源投入SHIRBRIG。

China and Europe in Africa: Competition or Cooperation? 中欧在非洲:竞争还是合作?
Pub Date : 2021-12-30 DOI: 10.22452/mjir.vol9no1.3
Mohamad Zreik
This paper presents the development strategies of the European Union and China towards Africa. European development aid has always been accompanied by political and economic conditions such as adopting neoliberalist policies, democracy and regime modification. As for China, its development policies have not been conditional because it adopts the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries and a win-win strategy. The paper points to a great disparity between the Chinese and European development strategies. China represents the South-South development model, and the European Union provides the North-South development model. The development experience in Africa indicates the progress of the Chinese model and its attraction to the African governments and peoples.
本文介绍了欧盟和中国对非洲的发展战略。欧洲的发展援助总是伴随着政治和经济条件,如采取新自由主义政策、民主和政权改革。对于中国来说,其发展政策没有条件,因为它采取了不干涉别国内政的原则和双赢战略。文章指出了中欧发展战略的巨大差距。中国代表南南发展模式,欧盟提供南北发展模式。非洲的发展经验表明了中国模式的进步及其对非洲各国政府和人民的吸引力。

The Hot Peace in Indo-Pacific: Contesting Quadrilateral Security Dialogue Against Chinese Geopolitics in the Indian Ocean Region 印度洋-太平洋地区的火热和平:对抗中国在印度洋地区地缘政治的四方安全对话
Pub Date : 2021-12-30 DOI: 10.22452/mjir.vol9no1.12

The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue is a strategy to contain China which has now reached the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) as part of the Chinese geostrategy in the Indo-Pacific to counterbalance US and western hegemony. The dynamics brought by the minilateral realm and bilateral conflicts within the Indo-Pacific have contributed to the shaping of the region's security architecture. This article discusses the contentions between India - China competition; ASEAN, Quad, and the implications to IOR; and how the Quad Plus notion is affecting further geopolitical deliberation in the Indo-Pacific. The article concludes that the Quad is an important platform for years ahead and the rising notion of the Quad Plus will remain as the future challenge for both sides. This may redefine the Indo-Pacific concept itself, however, it is assured that ASEAN will play as a collaborative agent to China and the Quad, while also prioritise their interests over the region.
四方安全对话是一项遏制中国的战略,作为中国在印太地区地缘战略的一部分,中国目前已进入印度洋地区,以制衡美国和西方霸权。印度洋-太平洋地区的小规模领域和双边冲突带来的动态有助于该地区安全架构的形成。本文论述了中印竞争的争论;东盟、四方会谈及其对IOR的影响;以及“四方+”概念如何影响印太地区的进一步地缘政治审议。文章的结论是,四方会谈是未来几年的一个重要平台,四方会谈+的概念将继续成为双方未来的挑战。这可能会重新定义印太概念本身,然而,可以肯定的是,东盟将作为中国和四方的合作代理人,同时也将他们的利益置于该地区之上。

Securitisation of the Refugee Issue in Germany: The Far Right Challenge to Government Policies 德国难民问题证券化:极右翼对政府政策的挑战
Pub Date : 2021-12-30 DOI: 10.22452/mjir.vol9no1.1

The refugee crisis in Germany began as the Syrian Civil war soared into a large-scale conflict. Germany adopted the Open Door Policy and allowed over a million Syrian refugees to enter. This paper focuses on the implication of this refugee crisis on German national politics. In this paper, Barry Buzan and Ole Weaver’s theory of securitisation and de-securitisation is used, they describe Securitisation as an extreme version of politicisation and de-securitisation is the process of normalising the issue. Through a case study, we assess the role of securitising actors and desecuritising actors in Germany. The securitising actors include mainly Alternative for Germany (AfD), Pegida movement, Christian Social Union (CSU), whereby they focus on securitising the refugee and migrant issue by treating it as an existential threat to Germany. As a counter narrative the desecuritising actors include the ruling party and their coalition such as the Christian Democratic Union, the Social Democratic Party, the Green Party, and the Left Party which focus on desecuritising the issue. The paper concludes, the process of securitisation has been more effective as compared to the process of desecuritisation in German national politics.
德国的难民危机始于叙利亚内战升级为大规模冲突。德国实行门户开放政策,允许100多万叙利亚难民入境。本文着重探讨这场难民危机对德国国家政治的影响。在本文中,使用了Barry Buzan和Ole Weaver的证券化和去证券化理论,他们将证券化描述为政治化的极端版本,去证券化是使问题正常化的过程。通过案例研究,我们评估了德国证券化行为者和去证券化行为者的作用。证券化参与者主要包括德国另类选择党(AfD)、Pegida运动、基督教社会联盟(CSU),他们将难民和移民问题视为对德国生存的威胁,专注于将其证券化。作为一种反叙事,非安全行为者包括执政党及其联盟,如基督教民主联盟、社会民主党、绿党和左翼党,他们专注于非安全问题。本文的结论是,与德国国家政治中的去安全化过程相比,证券化过程更有效。

The “ASEAN WAY” Revisited For Strengthening Regional Environmental Governanance: A Macro Perspective 从宏观角度看加强区域环境治理的“东盟之路”
Pub Date : 2021-12-30 DOI: 10.22452/mjir.vol9no1.2
Yitian Huang
The “ASEAN Way” has been applied to tackle regional environmental problems in Southeast Asia for decades. As the political economy in Asia Pacific has become more turbulent in the 2020s, the “ASEAN Way” faces more difficulties. This article attempts to explore how the “ASEAN Way” could play a larger role under new circumstances. After looking into the traditional concerns about international actors, it discusses the domestic constraints of the “ASEAN Way”, which include corruption, lack of environmental capacity and negligence. On this basis, it analyses traditional implications of the “ASEAN Way” for environmental governance. It suggests that being non-interfering in nature, the “ASEAN Way” has three technical features in the sense that it is in favour of strengthening and using institutional linkage, promoting standard harmonisation, and integrating environmental protection into a broad development agenda. Three new challenges at the macro level are identified and discussed: industrial relocation, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Sino-US tension. Then it analyses three directional policy options for augmenting the “ASEAN Way” in the face of old and new conditions: further involving environmental NGOs, incrementally engaging neighboring countries and international institutions, and adopting a market-oriented approach to transnational policy coordination. It concludes by discussing how these policy options could be gradually implemented by ASEAN and its external partners.
几十年来,“东盟方式”一直被应用于解决东南亚地区的环境问题。随着亚太政治经济在20世纪20年代变得更加动荡,“东盟之路”面临着更多的困难。本文试图探讨“东盟之路”在新形势下如何发挥更大作用。在考察了传统上对国际行为体的关注后,讨论了“东盟之路”在国内的制约因素,包括腐败、缺乏环境能力和疏忽。在此基础上,分析了“东盟方式”对环境治理的传统启示。它表明,“东盟方式”本质上是不干涉的,它有三个技术特征,即有利于加强和利用体制联系,促进标准协调,并将环境保护纳入广泛的发展议程。确定并讨论了宏观层面的三个新挑战:工业转移、新冠肺炎大流行和中美紧张局势。然后分析了在新旧形势下加强“东盟之路”的三个方向性政策选择:进一步让环境非政府组织参与进来,逐步让邻国和国际机构参与进来,以及采取以市场为导向的跨国政策协调方式。报告最后讨论了东盟及其外部伙伴如何逐步实施这些政策选择。

Cultural Diplomacy of Thailand and Indonesia in the Philippines 泰国和印尼在菲律宾的文化外交
Pub Date : 2021-12-30 DOI: 10.22452/mjir.vol9no1.5
Romina Eloisa Manabat Abuan
Cultural diplomacy, often overlapping with public diplomacy, is defined as the exchange of ideas, information, values, systems, traditions, beliefs, and other aspects of culture with the intent to foster mutual understanding, enhancing socio-cultural cooperation and promoting national interests between two or more States. The Philippines can be conceptualised as an arena for States to win hearts and minds through cultural diplomacy. This article focuses on Indonesia and Thailand. Indonesia, at a glance, is active in sharing its culture and language through the Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA) programme while Thailand is the first to practise ‘gastro diplomacy’ or tourism diplomacy. This paper tackles three questions: Firstly, how do Indonesia and Thailand’s respective foreign policy goals translate to cultural diplomacy set in the Philippines? Secondly, using the concept of soft power, why are Indonesia and Thailand actively practicing cultural diplomacy? And thirdly, what possible outcomes do Indonesia and Thailand seek to achieve from the cultural and educational events and programmes provided for and promoted by their embassies in the Philippines?
文化外交通常与公共外交重叠,它被定义为交流思想、信息、价值观、制度、传统、信仰和文化的其他方面,目的是促进两个或两个以上国家之间的相互理解,加强社会文化合作,促进国家利益。菲律宾可以被设想为各国通过文化外交赢得人心的舞台。本文的重点是印度尼西亚和泰国。乍一看,印度尼西亚通过印尼语bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA)计划积极分享其文化和语言,而泰国则是第一个实践“美食外交”或旅游外交的国家。本文解决了三个问题:首先,印尼和泰国各自的外交政策目标如何转化为菲律宾设定的文化外交?其次,运用软实力的概念,印尼和泰国为什么积极开展文化外交?第三,印度尼西亚和泰国希望从其驻菲律宾大使馆提供和促进的文化和教育活动和计划中取得什么可能的成果?

A Race to the Frontier: Invoking Peripheral Territories - Case of Sabah as a Regional Player 一场通往边境的竞赛:援引周边领土——以沙巴为例
Pub Date : 2021-12-30 DOI: 10.22452/mjir.vol9no1.11
Arif Anwar
This article explores how Sabah could utilise its geopolitical advantages and its challenges in doing so. Through a constructivist lens, this paper attempts to unravel Sabah’s historical and social realities, whereby this will be complemented with a Foucauldian discourse analysis to deconstruct Sabah’s dynamic relationship with its colonial British masters and subsequently with the federal government of Malaysia. This is placed in the backdrop of Sabah’s many counterparts in the region as a “peripheral territory”, which had similar pre- and post-colonial era experiences which resulted in the imposition of significant challenges from the lack of right to self-determination to form an identity, lack of formal governing system structure, and in the present day, the lack of autonomy that Sabah has been so long fighting for.
本文探讨了沙巴如何利用其地缘政治优势以及在此过程中面临的挑战。通过建构主义的视角,本文试图揭示沙巴的历史和社会现实,并辅以福柯式的话语分析,解构沙巴与其殖民时期的英国主人以及随后与马来西亚联邦政府的动态关系。在此背景下,沙巴在该地区的许多同类国家都是“边缘领土”,它们在殖民前和殖民后都有类似的经历,导致沙巴面临重大挑战,缺乏形成身份的自决权,缺乏正式的治理体系结构,以及在今天,沙巴缺乏长期争取的自治权。

Comfort Women: Impacts on Japan’s Relations with South Korea and The Philippines 慰安妇:对日本与韩国和菲律宾关系的影响
Pub Date : 2021-12-30 DOI: 10.22452/mjir.vol9no1.8
Sigit Sigit, Farin Almira Anantasya
The objective of this paper is to analyse how the issue of “comfort women” affects Japan’s relations with its neighboring countries, namely South Korea and the Philippines, using qualitative methods, and constructivism as the conceptual framework. “Comfort women” or “jugun ianfu” in Japanese, and “wianbu” in romanized Korean, is an euphemism used to describe young women from all across Asia who were forced to please the Japanese troops sexually during World War II. These young women were deceived, lured, or kidnapped and then confined in “comfort stations.” Initially, the Japanese government denied that they had systematically confined these so-called “comfort women” and distributed them to comfort stations to be sex slaves, and rejected demands for a formal apology and war reparations to the victims. This had outraged South Korea and the comfort women survivors. This paper suggests that Japan finally admitted its role in the establishment of comfort stations in 1993, and has been trying to make amends with these countries. The process of making amends remains a persistent controversy, with Japan seeking to turn over a new leaf and many South Koreans and Filipinos striving to not let the tragic history be forgotten.
本文的目的是以建构主义为概念框架,运用定性方法分析“慰安妇”问题如何影响日本与邻国韩国和菲律宾的关系。“慰安妇”或日语中的“jugun-ianfu”,以及韩语罗马化的“wianbu”,是一种委婉的说法,用来形容来自亚洲各地的年轻女性,她们在第二次世界大战期间被迫在性方面取悦日本军队。这些年轻女性被欺骗、引诱或绑架,然后被关押在“慰安所”。最初,日本政府否认他们有系统地关押这些所谓的“慰安妇”,并将她们分配到慰安所做性奴,并拒绝向受害者正式道歉和战争赔偿的要求。这激怒了韩国和慰安妇幸存者。本文认为,日本终于在1993年承认了其在建立慰安所方面的作用,并一直试图与这些国家进行弥补。弥补的过程仍然是一个持续的争议,日本寻求翻开新的一页,许多韩国人和菲律宾人努力不让悲惨的历史被遗忘。

Potential State Responses to Climate Change in Post-COVID World covid - 19后世界各国应对气候变化的可能措施
Pub Date : 2021-12-30 DOI: 10.22452/mjir.vol9no1.13
A. Unny
COVID-19 followed lockdown in countries have significantly reduced the level of global carbon emissions. However, this reduction in emissions is evaluated as a temporary phenomenon as emissions from countries are expecting to grow rapidly once the pandemic imposed restrictions are fully withdrawn. If emissions from countries are growing unabatedly in a post pandemic world that would adversely impact the implementation of the international climate change agreements, particularly the Paris Climate Agreement. Paris Climate Change Agreement which came into form in 2015 is the only international climate change agreement existing today to regulate global carbon emissions from all major economies. Majority of the nation-states have ratified the Paris Climate Agreement. However, the climate leadership vacuum that has created with the decision of the US to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and the current challenges that COVID-19 is posing to world multilateral order are adversely influencing the course of global climate change negotiations and thereby worsening the climate crisis.
新冠肺炎导致各国封锁,大大降低了全球碳排放水平。然而,这种排放量的减少被评估为一种暂时现象,因为一旦疫情实施的限制措施完全取消,各国的排放量预计将迅速增长。如果各国的排放量在疫情后的世界中持续增长,这将对国际气候变化协定,特别是《巴黎气候协定》的执行产生不利影响。2015年形成的《巴黎气候变化协定》是目前唯一一项规范所有主要经济体全球碳排放的国际气候变化协定。大多数民族国家已经批准了《巴黎气候协定》。然而,美国决定退出《巴黎协定》造成的气候领导真空,以及新冠肺炎目前对世界多边秩序构成的挑战,正在对全球气候变化谈判进程产生不利影响,从而加剧气候危机。
