With the exception of the Philippines, America’s strategic interest in and engagement with Southeast Asia begins with World War II. Prior to that “Monsoon Asia” was remote and exotic—a place of fabled kingdoms, jungle headhunters, and tropical seas. By the end of the nineteenth century European powers had established colonial rule over the entire region except Thailand. Then, as the twentieth century dawned, the Spanish colonial holdings in the Philippines suddenly and unexpectedly became available to the United States as an outcome of the Spanish-American War and Admiral Dewey’s destruction of the decrepit Spanish fleet in Manila Bay. This chapter examines the strategic pivot in Southeast Asia and the role China plays in affecting the U.S. position in this region.

The relation between religion and modernization in Southeast Asia is a theme of such a complex nature that a discussion of any of its various aspects would necessitate a preliminary methodological and conceptual clarification. Such a clarification is further necessitated by the fact that modernization as a historical and contemporary phenomenon has been treated by scholars from different disciplines using concepts as political modernization, economic modernization, technological modernization, military modernization, educational modernization, administrative modernization, and so forth. It becomes almost the general practice to employ the concept modernization in a diffused and ambiguous manner. The ambiguity and diffuseness of the concept lies in the fact that no distinction or differentiation is accomplished between the numerous phenomena.

Singapura kemudian menerapkan berbagai strategi dengan cara menjalin kerjasama lintas instansi dan aktor untuk memperoleh sistem keamanan ruang siber yang lebih protektif. Tulisan ini bermaksud untuk memahami dokumen Singapore Cyber Security Strategy (SCSS) secara komprehensif dengan melakukan analisis kontekstual berdasarkan pendekatan kualitatif terhadap sejumlah unsur yang dominan muncul di dalam dokumen seperti aktor, instrument, politik, ekonomi, penelitian, dan kolaborasi yang dibangun di antara para aktor. Penulis juga melengkapi analisis ini dengan pendekatan kuantitatif untuk mengukur relasi data dan kecenderungan yang tergambar dari dokumen SCSS tersebut. Hasilnya, penulis menemukan bahwa pada level strategi di sektor application dan infrastruktur, pemerintah Singapura memiliki intervensi penuh dalam mengatur seluruh aktivitas di kedua aspek tersebut. Sebagai salah satu negara yang cukup signifikan di dalam pengelolaan teknologinya di kawasan Asia Tenggara, maka Singapura secara eksklusif berupaya membangun sistem dan infrastruktur siber yang mumpuni untuk melindungi tata kelola ruang siber mereka dari berbagai ancaman. Berbeda pada aspek core yang bersifat lebih terbuka (transfer) lantaran banyak dipengaruhi oleh multietnis dan multikulturalisme. Sehingga proteksi terhadap hal-hal yang bersifat ideologis tidak banyak diatur di dalam dokumen SCSS.   Kata kunci: Kedaulatan, Relasi Data, Strategi Keamanan Siber

COVID-19 Pandemic has changed state’s view about development. After several economic damages, the plan to bounce back from pandemic impacts is by adopting GDP-ism development which sacrificing democracy. In Southeast Asia, The trend of deconsolidation of democracy indicated by several events such as military coup in Myanmar and protest against Omnibus Law in Indonesia. At the same time, 2020 also marked a revival of Quadrilateral talk between US, Australia, Japan, and India concerning China’s growing influence in Indo-Pacific region. Many scholars observe this cooperation is involving security strategy to contain China’s influence. But yet there are not many writings about democratization process as a way to hold China’s influence especially in Southeast Asia region. This paper is aimed to show that maintaining democracy is important for QUAD to secure their interests and this effort can involve parties beyond geopolitical boundaries. Hence, this paper would like to seek how EU engagement in QUAD can support democratization process in Southeast Asia by considering its economic influence and domestic politic situation in the region. Furthermore, as post-COVID-19 development is concerned in this paper, It is important to seek how democracy can contribute to foster state economic development and become alternative to Chinese development.

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.
