Confronting China in an Asymmetric Relationship: the case of peace efficacy in Taiwan / Shih, Chih-yu   Journal Article
Shih, Chih-Yu Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract is study seeks to explain how a weaker party could decide on its own to confront a stronger party. e weaker party relies on relational turn in international relations to provide an alternative to the realist view. On the basis of relational turn, which stresses the importance of discovering the processual mechanisms of behavior instead of the structure or corelationship among variables, this study oers an empirically based speculation of the plausible psychological mechanisms that enable a weaker party in Taiwan to resort to confrontation against a stronger party in China. ese psychological mechanisms are arguably necessary processes that lead to confrontational policy. This study argues that a small party is epistemologically equal to its stronger counterpart in relational coupling. is assumption is based on prior understandings that constitute the identities of both parties. The former exerts agency for confrontation when acting upon the senses of ecacy, determination, and/or legitimacy that are embedded in relational coupling.

Mates all the way! from Konfrontasi to confronting China: Australia–Malaysia geostrategic cooperation / Wey, Adam Leong Kok   Journal Article
Wey, Adam Leong Kok Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Australian and Malaysian strategic relations have evolved since the independence of Malaya in 1957 and the formation of Malaysia in 1963. Confronted with an aggressive neighbor, Indonesia set to “crush” Malaysia during its infancy years. The United Kingdom with Australia embarked on a military expedition to aid Malaysia in fighting an “undeclared” war. Australia committed troops in Malaysia and continued to maintain a physical presence in Malaysia after the Konfrontasi ended in 1966, and later under the auspices of the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA). China's recent assertion in the Asian region has precipitated mutual security risks for both Malaysia and Australia, and renewed interests for rigorous strategic cooperation. This article describes the power of geographical space and location, and its influence on the strategic context and logic of Australia-Malaysia strategic relationship.
