| Summary/Abstract |
The emergence of naval power amongst the littoral states of the Straits
of Malacca has provided them with increasingly capable and self-reliant
naval capabilities. This naval build-up can be attributed to the growing
importance of vital sea-lines of communication due to the increased
reliance on seaborne trade and other reasons, such as the perceived need
to achieve a balance of power amongst states in the region. These
enhanced naval capabilities have the added bene?t of improving homeland security and maritime estate management, and helping to develop
security alliance relationships. Furthermore, the ability of the littoral
states to secure the Straits of Malacca has minimised the role of US and
other extra-regional navies, giving the states involved greater ?exibility
in an era of growing strategic rivalry between the US and China.

| Summary/Abstract |
From tentative beginnings in 1971, the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA), which groups Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Singapore have developed into a credible military cooperation arrangement with the potential to play a role in regional security, in areas such as maritime security, counter-terrorism, and disaster rescue. The FPDA has other important roles, such as a deterrent to external attack, as a CBM between Malaysia and Singapore, an enabler for Britain, Australia, and New Zealand to remain engaged in a region of importance to them, and networking, which helps to sustain long-standing military relationships dating back to the Malayan Emergency. Despite constraints, the comfortable military working relationship, the flexibility of the Arrangements, the uncertainties of the regional security environment, and the multidimensional nature of security challenges that require a coordinated response, have meant that it has become part of the post-Cold War and post-11 September regional security architecture

| Summary/Abstract |
Taiwan faces an uncertain future after the electoral victory of the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the January 2016 elections. The election results, which reflected growing pro-independence sentiments amongst a younger generation of Taiwanese, have set Taiwan on a collision course with China, which is increasingly impatient for reunification to occur. The new US president, Donald Trump, has also added to the tensions by openly questioning the “One China” policy. Another Taiwan Strait crisis today would be fraught with immense risks due to China's dramatic economic and military rise which has altered the regional power balance. Given the increasingly tense China-US strategic rivalry, the US is also not likely to sit idly by should China attack Taiwan. However, the key player in resolving the Taiwan problem is China. For various reasons, it is in fact in China's interest to be patient with the current situation, and maintain the status quo for the immediate and medium-term future, while it constructs a new strategy that could win over the people of Taiwan, since true reunification can only occur if the people on Taiwan willingly accept it.

| Summary/Abstract |
The threat of terrorism to Singapore remains serious, given the spread of radical ideology in Southeast Asia. Aware that it is a prime terrorist target, Singapore's response has been the most vigorous of all the states in the region. It has instituted a comprehensive homeland security structure, stepped up security cooperation with the USA and has been at the forefront of many US-led counter-terrorism initiatives in the region. Japan's regional role is important as Japan cannot opt out of the global war on terrorism given its huge stake in the security of the Straits of Malacca and the stability of the littoral states. Japan's contribution lies in capacity building, in helping states build up their indigenous counter-terrorism capabilities. Japan also needs to take a much more proactive, strategic role in the Malay archipelago in regional "hearts and minds" strategies to counter radical ideology, as well as develop functional security linkages.

| Summary/Abstract |
Since 11 September 2001, Southeast Asia has become designated as the'second front' in the Global War on Terrorism. However, given thecomplex nature of Muslim rebellion in the region and the presence offundamental grievances, not every Muslim rebel in the region is an Al-Qa'eda operative dedicated to achieving pan-Islamist religious objectives.Local Muslim armed rebellions have at its root socio-economic issues andgrievances, which cannot be redressed solely through the use of force. Thismeans that counter-terrorism strategies have to be comprehensive andmust aim at winning hearts and minds, the true center of gravity in thisconflict.

| Summary/Abstract |
China's economic rise has prompted predictions that it will become a global power and supplant the US as the new global hegemon. However, Andrew T H Tan argues that, while China's influence and impact will certainly grow, it would have to overcome significant barriers to become a genuine global power. Among other constraints, China does not possess the soft-power attributes that would elicit a positive identification with it and lacks a clearly articulated foreign policy that would support a leading role on the international stage. The rising and uncontrolled nationalism is also becoming a serious constraint on the country's evolving international role.
