|
|
Assessing EU-ASEAN Cooperation in the New Geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific: Commonalities, Challenges and Prospects’ is the second talk of the public forum series by the EU Delegation to Thailand (EUD) and ISIS Thailand. It will explore the EU’s relations with ASEAN following the first-ever summit between their leaders recently held in Brussels (14 December 2022).

Russia's War against Ukraine at One Year: Assessing the Ongoing Situation from Above and on the Ground
|
One year after the start of Russia's war against Ukraine, the security situation in Europe continues to be a matter of great concern to the European region and the world at large. Against this backdrop, there have been attempts to enhance the security and defence capabilities of the EU.
One recent security enhancement can be seen in the discussion of expansion of NATO to countries in the Baltic and Nordic regions, including Finland and Sweden. These countries have traditionally maintained a policy of security non-alignment, but growing tensions with Russia have led to calls for closer ties with NATO. The recent accession of Finland to NATO would enable Helsinki to access and benefit from the alliance’s military resources and capabilities, including advanced weapons systems, intelligence sharing, and joint military exercises. This would enhance Finland’s ability to defend itself against potential threats and deter any potential aggression from Russia. Sweden’s parliament approved the country’s accession at the end of March, but its application is still pending approval from NATO members. |

(May 12, 2023) Potential tricks and results in Thai poll
|
|
The fundamental risk in Thailand's election this Sunday is that ruling incumbents, spearheaded by coup-maker-cum-prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and underpinned by the powers-that-be, are headed for a big loss. Yet they are unlikely to go away without distortion, subversion, and confrontation, as has been the case in the recent past. Unless the poll results are clear and unassailable, it is likely that more funny business will be put in motion after the election. |

(May 5, 2023) No exit from our democratic future
|
|
As Thailand's much-anticipated poll on May 14 heads into its homestretch, several clear trends and patterns are emerging to suggest that democratisation is making an inexorable comeback in this country, with positive implications for Southeast Asia and beyond. The immediate road ahead in Thai politics will likely still be bumpy, potentially marked by more judicial interventions and electoral manipulation, or even another military takeover, to thwart the people's choices at the poll. But eventually, pro-democracy forces backed by the Thai people's demand for change will come back time and again until there is a rebalanced, representative and reworked constitutional order in place. |

(April 28, 2023) Done and emerging battles in Thai poll
|
|
Thailand's poll-leading Pheu Thai Party (PTP) is fighting a war it has already won. Consequently, its pledged freebie of 10,000 baht in a digital wallet for Thai people is superfluous and unnecessary. As the populism war has run its course, a new battleground revolving around the reform and adjustment of traditional centres of power is emerging. The fight in this new battle, being led by the Move Forward Party (MFP), is likely to last into the foreseeable future as the next stage in Thailand's modernisation imperative in the 21st century. |

(April 25, 2023) Vietnam's 'bamboo' foreign policy clout
|
|
Vietnam is the only Southeast Asian country at this critical moment to be facing a major challenge as it attempts to juggle the three great powers -- China, Russia, and the US -- simultaneously. It is as if Hanoi is keeping a dagger, a bomb, and a gun in perpetual mid-air flight to ensure the tripartite relations will not crash along the way. It is bamboo diplomacy Vietnamese style, at its very best in keeping these extraordinary allies and friends at bay. In recent years, the bamboo policy description has been widely used due to the country's distinctive diplomacy. |
