ASEAN power grid a secure transmission infrastructure for clean and sustainable energy for south east asia
Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2017Co-Authors: Tofael Ahmed, Saad Mekhilef, Rakibuzzaman Shah, N Mithulananthan, Mehdi Seyedmahmoudian, Ben HoranAbstract:The efficient utilization of clean energy resources to meet increasing electricity demand is imposing the integration of the electricity market and the construction of secure transmission mechanisms around the globe. Accordingly, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is integrating its large geographical power transmission infrastructure via the ASEAN power grid (APG). This study extensively reviews the energy resources (i.e., fossil fuels and renewables), the current utilization, and the future projection for ASEAN. Electricity export-import scenarios and renewable generation based transmission expansion planning practices in ASEAN will also be critically reviewed in this work. Additionally, the major barriers and technical challenges for establishing an ASEAN grid will be briefly analyzed. Finally, this work suggests possible techniques that help expedite the renewable power generations to overcome the limitations associated with the establishment of the APG, as well as future research direction in enhancing the utilization of APG for ASEAN.

ASEAN china free trade area background implications and future development
Journal of Asian Economics, 2002Co-Authors: Suthiphand ChirathivatAbstract:Abstract ASEAN–China economic linkages are moving into a new direction. In November 2001, ASEAN and China agreed to establish an ASEAN–China free trade agreement in 10 years. More than a strategic move to signal China’s interest in Southeast Asia, there are implications of such an agreement. For both sides, there should be net trade gains: trade creation would offset trade diversion with ASEAN getting a slight trade diversion while the same trade diversion would not be obvious for China. With China’s strong growth, it seems that China would require more input imports and ASEAN could provide as an alternative source of inputs for natural-resource based and intermediate inputs in an FTA. Both ASEAN and China’s hope to prosper will be intricately linked to their outward orientation and the role of developed countries to open up more opportunities, thus providing a firmer foundation for growth and stability. A new FTA has also opened up a debate of a possible formation of an “Asian Economic Community”.

Whither Multilateral Negotiation? China’s Foreign Policy in the South China Sea Dispute
Global dan Policy, 2020Co-Authors: Ramadhani EryanAbstract:ABSTRACTThis paper aims to examine the factors driving China’s rejection of multilateral negotiation to achieve dispute settlement in the South China Sea. China was a relatively closed country striving for internal stability during the leadership of Mao Zedong. The new era for China to engage the world came true after Deng Xiaoping made a history by opening up his country in the late 1970s. From that moment onward, China has been actively involved in varying cooperation both bilaterally and multilaterally. The partners with which China eagerly strengthens its relationship are the neighbors in Southeast Asia. Engagement with the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was one of China’s most fateful breaktrhough in the early 1990s, following the sanction imposed by the Western world due to the Tiananmen outbreak in 1989. China-ASEAN relationship has been thriving by leaps and bounds ever since. The South China Sea dispute putting China against Southeast Asian claimants, however, dims the good prospect of better relationship in the future. China’s assertive behavior in dealing with the dispute tarnishes the good image China has been portraying in the last two decades. Adding to such contradiction, China casts aside multilateral talks ASEAN members opt for. Instead, China compels the use of bilateral negotiation to be held between China and each claimant. This paper identifies three factors contributing to China’s preference of bilateral over multilateral negotiation: the apprehension about third party’s infiltration (i.e. the US), the concern over bargaining power, and the non-negotiable position in territorial sovereignty issue.Keywords: China, ASEAN, South China Sea dispute, multilateral negotiatio

why most indonesian businesses fear the ASEAN economic community struggling with southeast asia s regional corporatism
Third World Quarterly, 2016Co-Authors: Jurgen RulandAbstract:AbstractBy the end of 2015 the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) had ushered in a common market, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). However, the groups most affected by it – small businesses – were bypassed in the decision-making process. They are the victims of a selectively inclusive state corporatism which member countries have transferred from their domestic political system to the regional level. In this article I argue that the decision to create the AEC was promoted by ASEAN governments together with foreign economic and local corporate interests. This coalition was able to frame the AEC in a way that small businesses perceived it as a win-win scheme. Empirically the article focuses on Indonesia.

the limits of democratizing interest representation ASEAN s regional corporatism and normative challenges
European Journal of International Relations, 2014Co-Authors: Jurgen RulandAbstract:This article addresses the problem of interest representation in regional organizations. Departing from a theory-guided four-dimensional typology, the study explores how the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) responded to normative challenges of its system of interest representation. The findings suggest that ASEAN has skilfully countered external democracy promotion and domestic pressures for democratizing regional governance through variable strategies including rejection, isomorphic adaptation and localization. The multiple strategies employed by the grouping have largely kept intact its �cognitive prior� which rests on a blending of imported European and older local organicist ideas. Given the resilience of this cognitive prior, the prospects for a wholesale liberal-pluralist transformation of ASEAN�s system of interest representation appear dim.
