Subject Risk of piracy attacks in South-east Asia. Significance South-east Asian governments are seeking to strengthen cooperation against piracy and tackle the underlying causes of the problem. Ships sailing through the Sulu and Celebes seas face the risk of kidnappings for ransom from militant organisations such as the Islamic State (IS)-affiliated Abu Sayyaf group (ASG). Impacts The United States and Japan will provide capacity-building support to improve regional maritime domain awareness. South-east Asian countries will look to increase intelligence exchange in the fight against maritime crime. The shipping industry will monitor piracy black spots in the region, with firms adjusting operations accordingly.

Corporate governance has become a popular topic in recent years. Although much attention has been given to corporate governance in the United States and other Western countries as a result of recent scandals, and in Japan and other East Asian countries because of the financial crisis that occurred there a few years ago, much has also been going on in Russia and other transition economies in the area of corporate governance. This paper discusses recent developments in corporate governance in Russia and includes information gathered during interviews conducted in Russia during the summer of 2003.

The United States is a country that seeks to realize denuclearization in KoreanPeninsula. Though the United States is not a party that will be directly threatenedbecause the United States have more stronger nuclear capability than NorthKorea’s nuclear. This study aims to describe the interests of the United States as aStatus Quo State in the process of denuclearization of North Korea. The conceptualframework used by this study is Randall L. Schweller's Range of State Interestconcept. This research uses a qualitative research method with descriptiveanalytical research that uses secondary data. Based on the concept of Range ofState Interest, this research found that the United States as a 'Lion' country has aninterest in maximizing security which includes maintaining its identity as a nuclearpossession country, maintaining trade with East Asian countries, and improvinggovernmental functions. Whereas in maintaining its position, the United States hasan interest in maintaining its alliance with South Korea and Japan, maintainingprestige for world peace, and realizing CVID (Complete, Verifiable, andIrreversible Dismantlement) or full denuclearization.


Subject Development of South-east Asian coastguards and their geopolitical implications. Significance Senior coastguard officers from Australia, Japan, the Philippines and the United States will meet later this year to discuss cooperation and capacity-building -- and the assertive actions of China's coastguard in littoral waters. With external partners' support, South-east Asian states are developing their coastguards to fight crime and assert maritime territorial claims. Impacts Fishing activities will probably trigger spats between South-east Asian and China's coastguards. Gradually, inter-operability between South-east Asian coastguards will expand. Tokyo and Washington will use coastguards to deepen ties with South-east Asian countries. There could be frictions between Indonesia's and Malaysia's coastguards over waters around Ambalat.


Significance The preferential US trade programme faces renewal or lapse by December 31. South-east Asia’s economies are structured to take advantage of the GSP and many of the products exported to the United States under GSP (such as light manufactures and seafood) are important for South-east Asia’s supply chains. Impacts Vietnam may make another application for inclusion in the US GSP programme. The more authoritarian South-east Asian countries could find it easier to gain US GSP preferences under Trump. The Trump administration could use the GSP as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations or renegotiations.
