Mexico and climate change: was the country a multilateral leader? / Ramírez, Blanca Torres   Journal Article
Ramírez, Blanca Torres Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract During the first decade of this century, Mexico showed increasing activism on climate change. It strongly supported working within the United Nations system, convinced that this is the best path to confront the problem. It also participated in smaller, informal forums dealing with this vital but divisive issue. Mexico was more successful in its efforts to contribute in rebuilding the capacity of the multilateral system at this crucial moment than it was in its attempts to become a bridge between developed and developing countries, while some of the latter saw it leaning far toward the developed world.

US-led alliances in the Asia-Pacific: hedge against potential threats or an undesirable multilateral security order / Park, Jae Jeok   Journal Article
Park, Jae Jeok Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The 'hub-and-spoke' alliance structure led by the United States was - and remains - a major feature of security politics in the Asia-Pacific. This article links its 'general interests' with the larger issue of the Asia-Pacific's evolving multilateral regional order. After reviewing the concept of 'hedging', the first section problematises the literature that treats the US-led alliances which constitute the hub-and-spoke system mainly as instruments for the competitive side of a hedging strategy. The second section observes that they go beyond being instruments of threat response to becoming a more complicated network of regional multilateral order-maintenance and order-building. The third section claims that the United States and its regional allies have been utilising the hub-and-spoke alliance structure as a hedge against an undesirable multilateral order emerging in the region. The fourth section examines those arguments with reference to the East Asia Summit (EAS) and the Six Party Talks. The article concludes with some thoughts about what these findings mean for the future direction of the hub-and-spoke alliance structure in the Asia-Pacific.
