| Summary/Abstract |
As Malaysia and China have become “comprehensive strategic partners”
since 2013, the bilateral relations of these two countries have been
getting stronger. However, party-to-party relations between the two
countries have not received much scholarly attention. This article
discusses the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) interactions with the
Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition and its main component parties,
United Malays National Organization (UMNO) and Malaysian Chinese
Association (MCA) in Malaysia. It discusses the origins of China’s
party-based diplomacy, the actual development in this area of diplomacy
between Malaysia and China, and the implications of this kind of
party-based diplomacy. It suggests that one of the main activities
carried out under party-based diplomacy is for CCP to offer its
governing lessons to other ruling parties, which has not been discussed
much by other analysts of China’s party-based diplomacy

| Summary/Abstract |
India and Australia have the potential to become important strategic partners in Asia as part of a coalition that could help manage the changing balance of power in the region. But while India and Australia share many strategic interests, both countries still have a lot to learn about how to get along with each other. Some might even see them as the odd couple of the lndo-Paci?c. This paper looks at recent developments in the relationship in the areas of security, politics and economics, and the prospects for a closer partnership under the new Modi government.

| Summary/Abstract |
Both India and Vietnam belong to a region that holds enormous potential, but also many challenges. We have a strong convergence of interests in working together, and with others in the region, for a stable, peaceful and prosperous Asia. ....Vietnam's emergence as one of the most vibrant economies in the Asia Pacific region is greatly welcomed by India, especially because we regard Vietnam as a trusted and privileged strategic partner and an important pillar of our Look East Policy".

| Summary/Abstract |
The Indian Ocean region (IOR) is on the frontline of a global shift in the balance of power involving such countries as China, the United States, and India. Underpinning this transition is the growing relationship between India and the United States, which runs counter to Cold War–era trends and India’s traditional reluctance to align with other major powers. However, the question of whether this tightening relationship between New Delhi and Washington can reach the level of an alliance remains to be seen, and will be shaped by various “convergence” and “divergence” factors.

| Summary/Abstract |
The United Kingdom (UK) and Japan have conducted unprecedented military exercises as each other’s closest security partners in Asia and Europe, respectively. Despite publicly avowed closeness, these military exercises were not predicated on formal alliance commitments or deterrence of common adversaries underpinned by shared threat perceptions. Addressing this puzzle, a hitherto-overlooked perspective of mutual strategic reassurance for trusted partners is proposed here. This paper derives hypotheses from existing – but relatively under-developed – literatures on military exercises and reassurances that locate the drivers of reassurance in the needs and weaknesses of the other. What stems from this starting premise is an importance placed on high-level diplomacy and adjusting military deployments to allay each other’s strategic concerns. These hypotheses are tested by presenting original interview data supplemented with discourse analysis of both primary and secondary sources. The findings suggest that effusive diplomatic language vowing politico-strategic support for each other, reinforced by ground-breaking military exercises mutually reassured UK concerns about retaining post-Brexit global standing and Japan’s apprehension over its dire geo-strategic context. While not quite deterrence or alliance, these military exercises enabled the UK and Japan to transform their predominantly trade-based relationship into a more defence-oriented one.
