ASIA: CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
_____________________
NEW MULTILATERALISM IN ACTION FOR PEACE:
16
THE US-LED OPERATION UNIFIED ASSISTANCE
IN THE ASIAN TSUNAMI DISASTER
In the aftermath of the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami in
December
2004,
the ensuing multinational relief, humanitarian and
rebuilding efforts of the Operation Unified Assistance offer examples
of international cooperation to sustain and rebuild Asian communi¬
ties in the post-9/
11
security environment. An analysis of these efforts
in the light of differing theoretical perspectives provides a forum for
debate on the nature of cooperation in the international arena and the
implications for ethnic and civil wars in Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
Jaime Alvarado and Patrick Mendis also examine international
security strategies and the implications for economic prosperity and
political stability in sovereign but weak nation-states.
EMERGING ASIAN GIANTS IN THE ENERGY AND CLIMATE
32
DEBATE
The international community is confronted with a major crisis caused
by climate change. Asia s population density and relative poverty
make its people particularly vulnerable to the potentially catastrophic
greenhouse effects and related phenomena. Vivek Kumar and
Atui
Kumar review the position of developing countries in the climate
change regime
vis-à-vis
Annex I countries and specifically analyse the
issues and options in engaging Asian giants like China and India in the
energy and climate debate. They argue that global cooperation,
between North and South , as well as among countries of the
WORLD AFFAIRS SPRING

South
is required to create synergies between sustainable development
and climate change management.
ASIA, THE INDIAN OCEAN AND LATIN AMERICA
48
Major Indian Ocean states like India are being courted or challenged
by outside powers such as the People s Republic of China and the
United States of America for control of the Indian Ocean Region
(IOR)
.
V Shivkumarand Dattesh
D
Pamlekarlook at those rivalries
and their effects in another fast evolving, resurgent area, the Latin
American Continent (LAC) whose colonial history parallels Asia s
own and whose abundant natural resources are much in demand.
Leading Asian nations, primarily Japan, China and India are engaging
the LAC economically and politically while building bilateral strategic
partnerships with some of its states, mainly Brazil, Argentina, Venezu¬
ela and Chile.
RAINFOREST SUSTAINABILITY IN SOUTHEAST ASIA:
78
TRANS-BOUNDARY CONSERVATION COOPERATION
Economic, environmental and political concerns influence the ways
ecosystems are managed. In the past few years, various initiatives have
laid down a basis for regional cooperation in Southeast Asia. Borneo
presents a good example. Being part of three countries, each with its
own regulations, Borneo s ecosystem is regarded differently by each
nation, but it has become clear that the diversity of flora and fauna
cannot be sustained if forests are divided into a patchwork. To protect
the remnant ecosystems, use forest products in a sustainable way and
provide a livelihood for the people living in the area, a new approach
needs to be urgently developed. KavitaArora shows that the concept
of trans-boundary conservation cooperation is of great importance in
that context.
THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE IN PAKISTAN
106
Pakistan is caught up in a vicious cycle of violence that pits the army
against certain tribal groups and fundamentalist organisations. The
proposal by General
Pervez
Musharraf, the country s ruler since
1999,
to establish a social order based on enlightened moderation
—
seen by
many as a stratagem to reconcile the country with US policies
—

not met with wide success. Zahid Shahab Ahmed reflects that the
nation s future is fraught with grave threats, although the recently
elected governing coalition is trying steps to restore domestic peace.
NO RESPITE IN AFGHANISTAN
114
The facts on the ground suggest that the American plan for the
transformation of Afghanistan into a stable democratic ally of
NATO, hosting western military bases on the doorstep of Central
Asia, is failing. Native resistance to the occupiers is increasing and its
tactics are becoming deadlier every year. Opium production is rising
exponentially and RamtanuMaitra reveals that the US economy may
indeed be one of the beneficiaries of the drug trade.
BURMA S GEOPOLITICAL REVIVAL:
122
A POST-REALIST VIEW OF THE SAFFRON RISING
If Burma
(Myanmar)
is China s bridge into South Asia, it is also
ASEAN s and the China factor makes this passage to India all the
more imperative. ASEAN had more than commercial reasons for
admitting
Myanmar
as a member in July
1997.
Its primary motive
was geopolitical and power politics is the main factor behind ASEAN s
present support of the Burmese junta. Like India, most ASEAN
nations are defining themselves by their closure toward Burma s
democratic movement, which they think must be sacrificed in the
name of geopolitical realism. William
H
Thornton argues that these
countries are making a grave mistake. The Saffron rising of the Fall
of
2007,
he feels, requires a post-realist response that is all the more
potent geopolitically because it is morally clear.
ETHNIC POLARISATION AND HUMAN SECURITY:
152
THE CASE OF MIGRANTS IN NORTHEAST INDIA
The Northeast region of India, wedged between Bangladesh,
Myanmar
and China contains a mosaic of ethnic and religious groups that is
rapidly changing as a result of uncontrolled migration from other
parts of India and from neighbouring states. According to Vandana
Upadhyay the ensuing social and economic instability manifests in an
upsurge of political extremism, xenophobia and violence which has
torn asunder the social fabric, undermined the condition of the

REVIEW ESSAY
_______________________________________________
NEGOTIATING THE INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL
176
ECONOMY
The World Trade Organisation is one of the most powerful agents of
globalisation. It even has the authority to penalise sovereign states
when they do not follow the rules it lays down. The secretive horse
trading which takes place within the WTO s walls is one of the
targets of criticism, particularly from the weaker member states and
disadvantaged sectors of society that tend to be the victims of the
process. Priya Naik points out that lack of accountability and
democratic deficit are two major flaws which threaten the WTO s
survival as an enforcer of the neo-liberal agenda, whose goals and
methods are meeting with growing popular skepticism and rejection.
