Human Security And The Asean Charter: Perspectives And Challenges, Kasira Cheeppensook, Vira Somboon
Human Security And The Asean Charter: Perspectives And Challenges, Kasira Cheeppensook, Vira Somboon
Asian Review
This article explores the relevance of the concept of human security in ASEAN within the context of the development of the ASEAN Charter. Human security is a relatively new norm in ASEAN. It entered dialogue at the ASEAN level only recently, and has been discussed ever since. However, the ASEAN Charter does not mention human security despite its explicit codification of human rights, another human-centric norm. This explores the "meaning" of human security that ASEAN seems to share, and compares it with the meaning held by the UN and its organs. The article notes the different perceptions of comprehensive security, …

Human Security And Chinese Political Economy, Vorasakdi Mahatdhanobol
Human Security And Chinese Political Economy, Vorasakdi Mahatdhanobol
Asian Review
This article examines how China looks at the issue of human security and the change of their internal and external policies toward human security. Chinas repressive regime is now having a hard time maintaining itself while trying to enter into the world market. Opening up the country involves applying international versions of human rights for their citizens, adjusting their production system to suit international standards, cooperating with foreign countries, and so on. Changes that came with economic liberalization are shifting China into a new phase of development and governance with problems of ethnic conflict, corruption, and abuse of authority by …

Environment, Conflict, And Security Problems In Thailand's Tenth National Economic And Social Development Plan, Supamit Pitipat, Surat Horachaikul
Asian Review
This paper illustrates the connection between environmental problems, social conflict, and security problems, both individual's security and state's security. It argues that environmental and security problems are not a result of natural resource depletion, environmental degradation, or of a failed state only, but are also caused by the modern sovereign state exercising its rights to possess and manage natural resources over the rights of community. There are two factors that lead to social conflicts and that question the state's legitimacy, which will eventually become a legitimacy problem that challenges the state's security. These factors are: the lack of public governance …
A Refugee-Centered Perspective On Refugee Protection Mechanisms: The Case Of The Lao Hmong Refugees In Thailand, My Lo, Vira Somboon
A Refugee-Centered Perspective On Refugee Protection Mechanisms: The Case Of The Lao Hmong Refugees In Thailand, My Lo, Vira Somboon
Asian Review
Refugees are people seeking for stability and security in their life which the government of their own country failed to provide them. In many countries refugees are still treated as illegal migrants and are not granted the protection that they need to pursue a secure life with dignity. Failing to protect asylum seekers is a threat to human security and this problem should be addressed in the public sphere. Thailand has adopted many waves of refugees from neighboring countries but refugees who seek asylum in Thailand have never had the protection they deserve from the Thai authorities. The case of …

Thai Foreign Direct Investment And Human Security Implications: A Case Study Of The Xayaburi Dam In Lao Pdr, Naruemon Thabchumpon, Carl Middleton
Asian Review
The Xayaburi Dam is a 1,260 megawatts project proposed to be built on the Mekong River's mainstream in Xayaburi Province, Lao PDR. The projects lead developer is the Thai construction company Ch. Karnchang, the proposed financiers are Thai commercial banks, and 95 percent of the electricity generated would be exported to Thailand. This paper determines how the Xayaburi Dam could affect human security at the regional scale and in the locality of the project, and evaluates the extent to which decision-making through the intergovernmental Mekong River Commission and the energy planning process in Thailand has accounted for these potential changes …
An Excuse For Common Goods: The Multipurposeness Of The "Human Security" Concept In Japan's Foreign Policy, Teewin Suputtikun
An Excuse For Common Goods: The Multipurposeness Of The "Human Security" Concept In Japan's Foreign Policy, Teewin Suputtikun
Asian Review
This article examines the functions of the concept of human security in Japans foreign policy. Tracing the process by which Japan internalized the idea into policy formation and public discourse, the article shows that human security as a concept has served multiple purposes in the national quest for appropriate international roles. On one hand, the concept is used to resist the twin forces pulling Japanese roles away from the desirable status quo. These forces are the external pressure for a more active military contribution from Japan; and the domestic constraint against contribution policy in general. On the other hand, the …
India's Neoliberal Progress And Food Insecurity, Surat Horachaikul
India's Neoliberal Progress And Food Insecurity, Surat Horachaikul
Asian Review
Two decades ago India's then finance minister and current prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh set India on a new course of liberalization, privatization and globalization. This paper argues that the economic reform of 1991 was based on the concept of progress in the philosophy of neoliberalism, realized through the typical structural adjustment imposed by the World Bank and IMF, combined with Manmohan Singh's own vision of reform. This paper also evaluates the effects of neoliberal reform on food security in India. Despite high economic growth as measured by traditional GDP, food insecurity in India has shown little or no signs …

Thai Students' Usage Of Mandarin Second-Person Pronoun "Ni" And "Nin", Seubpong Changboonchu
Thai Students' Usage Of Mandarin Second-Person Pronoun "Ni" And "Nin", Seubpong Changboonchu
Asian Review
There are two forms of single second-person pronouns in Modern Chinese language, namely ni and nin Various factors should be considered between two communicating parties about which term is better to be used. The Thai language's secondperson pronoun system is quite similar to that of Modern Chinese language, but the forms in Thai are more diverse. In this paper, questionnaires and interviews are used to investigate Thai students' use of ni and nin. The findings show that Thai students use second-person pronouns differently from Chinese people whose usage is closely related to their mother tongue and culture.
Sexuality, Love, And Marriage Of Chinese Women As Reflected In Post-Mao Era Novels By Women Writers, Usama Mahapasuthanon
Sexuality, Love, And Marriage Of Chinese Women As Reflected In Post-Mao Era Novels By Women Writers, Usama Mahapasuthanon
Asian Review
This paper examines the changing patterns of and attitudes on sexuality, love, and marriage of Chinese women in the Post-Mao era, especially after 1985, as reflected in novels written by renowned Chinese women writers. The study shows that Chinese women in the novels have challenged the Confucian code of conduct for women on the preservation of chastity, open sexuality, and even the intimacy with the same sex, which were also taboos under the Mao regime. Chinese women in this era are aggressive in terms of love. Love is a part of the search for their own identities, for the completion …
Women, Sexuality And Political Achievement In Thai Society And Thai Literature, Orathai Piayura
Women, Sexuality And Political Achievement In Thai Society And Thai Literature, Orathai Piayura
Asian Review
Thai culture discourages involvement in politics, especially by women. In addition, a fear of being scandalized by political competitors leads many Thai women with high competence not to get involved with politics. Instead of illustrating the real situation of female politicians, Thai women writers choose to show a different picture. Politics and politicians in works composed by Duangjai and M.L. Bunluea Theppayasuwan belong in an ideal or fantasy world. This fantasy is comparable with female fantasy about sex. Just as female sexual fantasy arises from an unconscious desire about female sexuality that cannot really happen in reality, political fantasy is …
Tang Poetry And The Reproduction Of Nation-Building Ideology In Chinese Society, Patchanee Tangyuenyong
Tang Poetry And The Reproduction Of Nation-Building Ideology In Chinese Society, Patchanee Tangyuenyong
Asian Review
This article analyzes poetry during the Tang dynasty by using the cultural dimension as an analytical lens. I have selected eightyseven Tang poems dealing with war that were compiled in the Complete Tang Poetry (全唐诗 Quán Táng Shī), commissioned by the Kangxi 康熙 emperor of the Qing 清 dynasty (1644-1911 AD). The research paper takes the approach of discourse studies, which postulates that language, literature, culture, and society are inseparably related. These poems were compiled by the Qing court to shape tradition and form a dominant ideology in the society. They contain hidden agendas on subjects such as race, class, …

Gender And Social Status In Zeami's Noh Plays, Winai Jamornsuriya
Asian Review
This article studies women's power and negotiation illustrated in lovelorn heroines' roles in Noh plays, particularly those composed by Zeami (1363?—1443?), the most famous Japanese playwright during the fourteenth century. This article examines Zeami's eight Noh plays, analyzing the causes of separation and the heroine's sadness in these stories, to illustrate the gender power and social status of Japanese women at the time.
