“…В 1971 г. Ассоциация приняла Декларацию о зоне мира, свободы и нейтралитета (ЗОПФАН). Правда, тогда ее основной посыл заключался в первую очередь в нейтрализации региона от влияния КНР и СССР, а не в создании условий для подлинной региональной нейтральности [Koldunova 2019].…”

The article undertakes a comparative analysis of strategies and forms of implementation of the defense diplomacy of Japan, China, and Russia in Southeast Asia. All the three above-mentioned countries seriously accelerated their defense ties with the states of the region in the 2010s both at the bilateral track and within the multilateral frameworks. The article focuses on Japan, China, and Russia due to the specifics of their relations with the region. All three countries have historical limitations in developing defense diplomacy in Southeast Asia. However, as this article argues, throughout the past decade, all the three have been actively emphasizing defense diplomacy as one of the pillars of their advancement in the region. There is a number of publications, in Russia and abroad, which study either bilateral forms of defense diplomacy or the activities of such ASEAN-centered regional institutions as the ASEAN Regional Forum, ADMM+, the ASEAN Expanded Maritime Forum, or externally generated frameworks like the Shangri-La Dialogue. However, up to nowadays, none of these publications undertook a comparative analysis of defense diplomacy strategies and tactics of Japan, China, and Russia. This article aims to bridge this analytical gap. Methodologically the article undertakes the comparative analysis of defense diplomacy of the three countries in question. The main parameters for comparison were the doctrinal frameworks of defense diplomacy (analysis of national security documents), case studies of the Southeast Asian states most important for the advancement of Japan, China, and Russia’s defense diplomacy and the instruments of defense diplomacy development at the bilateral (intergovernmental frameworks, military-technical cooperation, joint exercises, port calls, etc.) and multilateral levels (within ASEAN-centered institutions).

“…В монографии под редакцией М. Кабеллеро-Энтони и А. Ачарьи анализируется влияние миротворческих операций ООН на состояние региональной безопасности в Азии (UN Peace Operations and Asian Security, 2005). Отдельные публикации посвящены вопросам функционального регионального сотрудничества, сопутствующего миротворческим операциям ООН, некоторым региональным и страновым подходам к разрешению конфликтов, возможностям развития партнерских отношений ООН и АСЕАН в области миротворчества, а также подходам АСЕАН к вопросам мира (East Asia, Peacekeeping Operations…, 2021;Jones, 2020;Koldunova, 2019;Mahbubani & Sng, 2017). Особое внимание на современном этапе привлекают попытки АСЕАН урегулировать начавшийся в 2021 г. конфликт в Мьянме путем использования имеющихся механизмов Ассоциации и формирования новых, в частности путем создания поста специального посланника АСЕАН по Мьянме (Рогожина, 2021).…”

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of three cases - Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam - to examine the distinctive features of Southeast Asian states’ involvement in peacekeeping. These cases provide representative insights into the motivations and experiences of regional states that joined UN peacekeeping operations at different historical junctures: Indonesia in the 1950s, Thailand in the 1990s, and Vietnam in the 2000s. By identifying the common and unique aspects of this engagement, the authors argue that Southeast Asian nations’ approaches to peacekeeping are deeply rooted in the values that underpin their foreign and domestic policies. Appealing to these values, Southeast Asian states contribute conceptual innovations to existing peacekeeping models, which are predominantly based on Western perspectives. By generalizing the peacekeeping experiences of Southeast Asian states, this paper fills a gap between broader publications that focus on Asian peacekeeping practices and single-country studies. The research underscores that Southeast Asian states, following a challenging period of decolonization and nation-building in the framework imposed by the Westphalian international relations system, have been trying to infuse their own approaches into the Westernized realm of international interaction. Since the 1950s, several regional states have participated in UN peacekeeping operations. The involvement of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in resolving the Cambodian conflict in the late 1980s and the Thailand - Cambodia settlement in 2008-2011 has stimulated the development of regional peacekeeping practices. By contributing to peacekeeping operations, Southeast Asian states aspire to enhance their regional and even global influence. In certain instances, their engagement in peacekeeping has ideological, cultural or religious motivations, or stems from specific foreign and domestic policy considerations.
