Impact of Climate Change on ASEAN International Affairs Risk and Opportunity Multiplier

by Charadine Pich, Indra Overland, Saiful Azmi Hj Husain, Roman Vakulchuk, Khin-Ni-Ni THEIN, Latifah Azlan, and Nathan Lemphers

The new report published by NUPI, jointly contributed by its partner institutes in all ten ASEAN ... more The new report published by NUPI, jointly contributed by its partner institutes in all ten ASEAN countries, analyses the consequences of climate change and climate policy toward international affairs in ASEAN. Both climate change and climate mitigation are likely to affect international affairs in ASEAN—in ways that are both good and bad—for example through forced migration, strains on food production, accelerated dam construction on the region’s international rivers on reduced dependency on fossil fuel imports. Major analysis and assessment in term of global energy transition, international climate-policy commitments of ASEAN countries, ASEAN's role on climate and energy policy as well as recommendations were put forward.

My contribution was more in part of how Cambodia has responded to the latter (including the country's perspective toward COP21; commitment, progress, and achievement; INDCs; major challenges and constraints).

As Anderson has claimed, nation is simply an imagined community in which the sense of attachment to any particular nation is based solely on people's own perception and their identity. But if we consider the fact that those people had shared common history and memories as well as collective consciousness, then the nation is in no way imagined. While Smith argues that nation is a shared population on a territory of common history and shared fate. However, this is not really the case especially when it comes to the point when nations are competing for mutual piece of land; individuals might not seem like they belong to the same nation. Both of which let us to present controversies upon especially when it comes to the notion of nationalism.

The delegation of authority from public to private actors raises the notion of whom to blame for the emergence of the global financial crisis. House mortgages have been downgraded and people depended too heavily on the rated credits. Credit rating agencies have no standardized mean to rate the credits; it varied differently from one to another and sometimes bond with the same rating could have different market values. The lack of public actors' interventions and their dependent on private actors to proceed with their regulations, dragged the whole financial system into disaster.

This issue has been triggered on since 2007 and was pressed as one of the most human rights violation acts. The government should collaborate our involvements into this issue and accept our support accordingly.

With the hope to drove up the global rice price by withholding supplies from the world market to create deficit and sell the stocks later at a higher price, the policy was clearly a failure after two years of its implementation leaving a stockpile of rice to be disposed of. The new government of Thailand should take immediate actions to revise this policy rather than leaving it on the go. Moreover, the concern should have long-term implication rather than the opposite which would only yield the fallout and the collapse of the policy itself. One should determine what sort of interventions the government would like to engage in redesigning the policy as well as regaining the status as the leading rice exporters once again.

To some extends, argument over handicapped fetus prevailed that they would live a severe handicapped life so mother have the right to abort their children if she wish to. On the other extreme, other people views abortion as killing and thus euthanasia would become an attractive choice for handicapped fetus' parents. Furthermore, it has proved to have psychological side effect for abortionists in the future. I would argue that abortion should be legal in all cases upon their consents but has to be ensured that abortion are at high quality throughout the overall processes, yet with some restrictions during the second trimester to protect the women's health.

Each nation has their own foreign policy toward the other nations varies according to different periods and circumstances. U.S. is the world's strongest power both economically and politically. Additionally, America has passed and faced many different situations toward the other nations in which their foreign policy adjust to those changes frequently. U.S. and Iran relationship is quiet interesting to discuss in term of their foreign policy toward the other. Their historical relations between each other had brought interactions to what they have today. Iran is now facing world's pressure for their nuclear capacities. This paper will discuss the U.S. foreign policy toward Iran in case of the outlook from historical as well as contemporary relations among each other.

Despite the facts, do we really live in a "liberal world" as many IR scholars suggest? Well, the answer has come into the debate due to the fact that many other scholars from different theories state that the world is just the state actor: the act of cooperation with the core of selfinterest among each and every individual state. There come major criticisms of liberalism in case of reality and practical belief. Studies suggest that liberalism seem perfect in theory but nonsense in reality of practice.
