1. 동남아시아 참여적 지역주의와 동아시아 공동체 / 전제성

지역적 차원의 정부간 협력 과정에 대해서도 참여활도잉 필요하고 가능하다는 것을 동남아의 시민사회가 asean에 대한 개입활동을 통하여 가까운 선례보임. 2000년 아세안 국민회의 APA asean ppl's assembly 결성되어 2006년까지 다섯 차례 대회 성사시키더니, 결국 아세안의 공식적 자문기구로 인정받기에 이름. 


2006년에는 동남아에 본부를 둔 초국적 시민사회단체들(?뭐지?)이 주도하여 아시아시민사회연대회의 결성. 


싱가포르의 국제정치학자 아미타브 아치리아, Amitav acharya 2003, 사회세력과 이익집단이 참여하여 엘리트 중신적인 지역협력을 민주화하느 것을 참여적 지역주의participatory regionalism이라고 정의한 바 있는데, 본 논문은 이를 apa와 sapa사례 통해 분석하는 데서 출발함. 


시민사회 관련 연구 대부분 일국의 국가-사회 관계에몰두. 지역협력 관련 연구자는 정부간 협력에 주된 관심두며 시민사회 참여를 포괄해야한다는 당위 수준의 주장을 장식처럼 부연할 뿐. 


>>> 국제관계연구와 동남아지역연구에서 비국가행위자의 참여과정에 관한 연구. 한국입장에선 참여지역주이가 정책적 관심사항이기도 함.

동아시아 지역협력에 있어 아세안이 중심이 되고 있다는 사실은 이미 여러 학자들이 제시한 바 있음. 


여기에 더해, 시민사회의 참여적 지역주의 역시 동남아가 앞서고 있음 밝히고 이 선례를 동아시아 공동체 추진의 교훈으로 삼자고 주장하고자 한다.

p.109 인도네시아 민주화 덕분에 가능. 세계자료연구소(WRI, World Resource Institute)의 집계에 따르면 동남아 10개국의 비정부기구 및 시민사회단체의 수는 2000년에 1만1천개를 넘어서서 1990년에 비해 두 배 가까이 늘어난 것으로 나타났다.(Chandra 2004: 160). 이와 같은 시민사회단체의 양적 증가와 함께 지역을 활동무대로 삼는 단체네트워크운동조직들(umbrella organizations)의 활성화도 APA형성의 좋은 조건이 되었다. 또한 태국과 인도네시아를 필두로 지역에 및어닥친 경제위기?로 인해 민중의 고통에 관심을 기울이고 그들의 목소리를 들어야 한다는 주장이 강화되던 상황도 아울러 APA형성의 국면적 계기로서 언급할만하다. 동남아가 경제위기를 전후하여 연무, 테러, 지진해일, 조류독감과 에이즈의 확산 같은 초국가적인 지역공동의 위협에 직면하게 되는 상황 역시 APA의 배경이 되었다고 볼 수 있다. 



1. Asean-Australia Special Summit Aung San Suu Kyi visits Canberra after appealing to Australia and Asean leaders for help with Rohingya crisis Posted on/ 2018.3.19


According to UN estimates, more than 700,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled Myanmar’s northern Rakhine State to Bangladesh after the Myanmar military launched a brutal offensive in response to attacks on police and army posts by a small group of extremists known as the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army on 25 August 2017.


Suu Kyi has been criticised by large swathes of the international community for failing to protect the Rohingya – who are considered by the majority of Myanmar citizens as illegal ‘Bengali’ immigrants and denied citizenship by the government – and for refusing to condemn the military amid mounting evidence that it has indiscriminately killed, raped and tortured innocent civilians, and burnt down entire villages.


But while Turnbull and Australia Foreign Minister Julie Bishop have maintained that they will discuss human rights concerns with member states behind closed doors, no statements criticising Myanmar’s treatment of the Rohingya have been publicly issued.


Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters from Australia’s Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laos, Burmese and Filippino communities gathered at Sydney’s Town Hall on the first day of the summit to protest a litany of human rights abuses in their respective home countries.


“Shutting one’s eyes and hoping that closer trade and security ties will somehow magically transform abusive governments into rights-respecting ones doesn’t work,” she said. “The Asean summit shouldn’t just be an opportunity to dance with dictators, but a chance to publicly press them over horrific human rights abuses across the region.”

Most notably taking place under Pitsuwan’s term was the inclusion of the US into the East Asian Summit and the mounting of tensions in the South China Sea. 


Despite the end of his tenure and his return to the Democrat Party, Pitsuwan remained active in regional diplomatic circles and with the international affairs of the region. More recently, he advocated for Asean to take harsher measures to resolve the crisis in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, where military insurgents have been accused of ethnic cleansing of the Muslim minority Rohingya population.



3. Singapore’s prime minister calls Asean a “lifeboat” for Southeast Asian countries / 2018.11.15



Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong affirmed Singapore’s commitment to promoting and upholding the regional order when the nation chairs the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) next year, announcing his priority topics of resilience and innovation. “Asean is a lifeboat for all 10 countries in Southeast Asia,” said Lee on the last day of the 31st Asean Summit in Manila. “To have our voice heard on the world stage, to be able to manage our own issues among ourselves, and to cooperate to improve the lives of the people in Southeast Asia.” Singapore obtained presidency during Lee’s acceptance speech at the closing ceremony of the 2017 Asean Summit on Tuesday, which saw the outgoing chairmanship of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.


Responding to reporters at the ceremony, Lee answered that “you cannot prevent member states from doing one thing or another,” but that the attendance at this year’s summit of both US President Donald Trump and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang showed a commitment for strong relations from both sides.



4. 아세안, 테러리즘 경계- 안보 종요 


And on Monday, Thailand’s deputy prime minister Prawit Wongsuwan released a statement warning of a potential risk of influence from Isis within the region. The Bangkok Post reported that Gen Prawit was quoted during an interview saying that his country was attempting to crackdown on transnational criminals, some of whom they suspected to be Isis sympathisers. The government in Thailand later confirmed that they now fear there are “probably” outposts of terrorist activity within the country. 


The Asean leaders will also be discussing the potential security challenges posed by North Korea’s recent nuclear threats in addition to piracy and drug trafficking in the region.

6. 아세안, 중년기 위기 극복?


The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) will turn 50 on 8 August – an anniversary that is sure to be celebrated with more style than substance. Yes, the group has achieved a lot since 1967, but one cannot help but feel it’s presently in the grip of a midlife crisis – seeking, but failing, to find a new sense of purpose and identity.

Tony Fernandes, CEO of Air Asia, said artificial intelligence was a huge opportunity for Asean and urged its young population to “get into that technology while it’s still early”.

Plugging into youth power In a region where half of the population is under 30, youth must not only be engaged, but placed at the center of future plans for countries being forced to adapt to global trends in technology and manufacturing. While social media offers a powerful tool to connect with the population, governments need to come up with new ways to reach out to youth and give them opportunities to compete in a global marketplace, said panelists at the “East, West and the Fusion of Ideas” roundtable.


These issues were also at the center of the forum titled “What If: The Youth of ASEAN Run the Region?” and “Issue Briefing: ASEAN Youth Survey.”

2018 제3회 한-아세안 학술에세이 공모전

주최: 한-아세안센터, 아세안대학네트워크

협력기관: 서울대학교 아시아연구소, 태국 쭐라롱껀대학교 아세안연구센터, 아세안 사무국, 외교부




주제 (아래 4가지 주제 중 선택)

(1) 한반도 평화를 위한 아세안의 역할

2018년 4월 27일에 개최된 제3차 남북정상회담에서 판문점 선언이 발표되었습니다. 이에 이어 6월 12일에는 
사상 최초의 북미정상회담이 올해의 아세안 의장국인 싱가포르에서 개최되며, 한반도에는 점차 평화 분위기가 
조성되고 있습니다. 아세안은 지금까지 한반도의 안정과 평화를 위해 어떤 역할을 했으며, 
앞으로 어떻게 기여할 수 있을까요?


(2) 아세안경제공동체의 번영을 위한 협력방안

2015년 12월에 출범한 아세안공동체는 정치안보공동체, 경제공동체, 사회문화공동체라는 3개의 축으로 
이루어져 있습니다. 이 중 아세안경제공동체는 셋 중 가장 구체적으로 지역통합을 추구하는 핵심축입니다. 
6억 4천만명의 인구와 GDP 2조 6천억달러 경제 규모의 아세안이 공동의 번영을 이루기 위해서는 
어떠한 비전과 정책을 필요로 할까요?


(3) 다양성 속의 통합: 아세안 정체성 형성

아세안 10개국은 약 300여개의 민족과 700여가지의 언어 및 다양한 종교와 수많은 토속문화를 갖는 등의 
다양함을 가지고 있습니다. 아세안은 이러한 다양성 속에서의 통합을 꾀하며 지난 50여년 간 하나의 지역공동체로서 
성장해왔지만, 아직 하나의 공동체로서의 인식은 낮은 편입니다. "하나의 비전, 하나의 정체성, 하나의 공동체" 
(One Vision, One Identity, One Community)라는 표어 아래 통합을 추구하는 아세안이 가져야할 정체성은 
어떤 것일까요? 아세안 공동체로서의 정체성을 형성하기 위해 아세안 회원국은 어떻게 협력해야 할까요?


(4) 신남방정책의 성공을위한 한-아세안 협력모델 구축

2017년 5월에 출범한 문재인 정부는 아세안 지역을 대상으로 신남방정책을 발표하며 대아세안 외교를 한반도 주변 
4강국 수준으로 끌어올리고, 한-아세안 협력관계를 보다 발전시킬 것을 천명했습니다. 신남방정책을 통해 효과적으로 
한-아세안 관계를 증진하기 위해서 한국 정부는 어떠한 노력을 해야 하며, 아세안 10개국은 신남방정책의 성공을 위해 
어떤 역할을 할 수 있을까요?

1. 32nd Asean Summit Success or failure: two experts debate the impact of Asean 


[요약] 여기서 말하는 성공/실패는 아세안 전체 조직을 이야기 하는 게 아니라, 각각 크게는 경제 / 언론 자유라는 틀에서 성공 실패를 이야기하므로, 아세안의 다면성을 보여준다고 할 수 있다. 경제는 성장하지만, 민주주의의 희생을 바탕으로 하는 경제 발전은 결국 한국처럼 상상력과 창조력의 빈곤을 낳기 떄문에, 그 경제력역시 지속가능하지 못한 것일텐데.


마침 지난 학기 미술/문화계 검열 정책 관련 리서치를 나름 한 터라, 두번째 기자의 말이 이해가 갔다.

당시 문화 검여 정책을 찾는데 검열과 관련해서는 대다수가 언론에 관한 이야기였고,

그나마 타이도! 역행하고 있다며 전반적인 언론자유에 있어 퇴행적 면모를 보이고 있는게

오늘날 아세안 국가들이구나. 라고 이해했던거 같다.

http://sea-globe.com/has-asean-been-a-success-or-a-failure/


* Ahead of next week’s 32nd Asean Summit, we asked two passionate voices from either side of the divide to argue the case for and against the Asean bloc being considered a success (이 문장 좋다!)


In the five decades since its founding in 1967, Asean has played an instrumental role in bringing peace, stability and prosperity to an erstwhile strife-ridden region. Through the ‘Asean Way’, based on “compromise, consensus and consultation”, its members have cultivated respect for the very differences that once threatened to tear them apart.


c.f. Singapore’s third and current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Singapore is the 2018 chair of Asean


근거1: This ‘way’ has enabled the organisation to make extraordinary geopolitical achievements

 1) Asean today embraces two communist countries – Vietnam and Laos : 여전히 공산주의 국가

 2)  Myanmar 군사독재 정권 --> hybrid regime / popular investment destination.

 3) 추가 보충 Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong described Asean as a

 “lifeboat for all ten countries in Southeast Asia to come together, to work together, to have our voice heard on the world stage…”



근거2: The Asean Regional Forum is a neutral and conciliatory setting for disputing nations to meet without losing face. It is also the only multilateral platform that includes North Korea.

1) 경제적 유용성: Asean’s collective economic clout have also yielded greater prosperity for the member states. Asean’s collective GDP of $2.56 trillion makes it the 6th-largest economy in the world. Total merchandise trade grew from $10 billion in 1967 to $2.2 trillion in 2016. 

2) Asean Economic Community has drastically reduced trade barriers without subjecting less-developed member states to sudden shocks.



근거3: Economic growth has also led to a corresponding improvement in living standards. 

1) GDP per capita increased by 3.5 times from $1,135 in 1999 – when Cambodia, the tenth and final member joined – to $4,021 in 2016. Poverty in Asean fell from 47% in 1990 to 14% in 2015 – far surpassing the region’s Millennium Development Goals target.


근거4: Asean’s future looks bright as its booming middle class is projected to reach a population of 500 million in 2030.

1) The region is poised to reap rich demographic dividends as 68% of its population is expected to be of age by 2025. 

2) Unlike many other parts of the world, young people in Asean are optimistic about their future. A 2017 World Economic Forum survey of 24,000 Asean youths found that 69% of them expect to have better lives than their parents, while 64% said that their own career prospects were improved by being part of Asean.

‘Asean bashing’ is an easy sport, and one that many commentators – including yours truly – are more than happy to play each time a major problem in a member state is met with silence from the bloc. The usual talking points include the weakness of the underresourced Secretariat and how the region’s operating principles – the so-called ‘Asean Way’ – are too rigid to address the issues of the day. Even Asean’s reputation as a talk shop that could bring major rivals into the same room is in question.

These lines of criticism are still valid, but to more fairly assess how the 50-year-old institution is faring in modern times one can try to find any signs of a willingness to adapt in the face of new challenges. Unfortunately, even by this more generous standard, it is hard to make a case that Asean has seen recent success. Take a look at the past 12 months alone: the old adage of never letting a crisis go to waste simply had no resonance in what was a crisis-filled year.

For the first time since the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) started assessing the state of democracy in the world more than a decade ago, no Asean member state registered an improvement in 2017. Instead, conditions for democracy and the rule of law deteriorated, as if in unison, in an unprecedented seven member states. Of the seven countries in Asia the EIU classifies as an ‘authoritarian’ regime, four can now be found in Southeast Asia.

Apart from the occasional expression of concern and call to ensure stability, the bloc largely stood by as the political opposition and critical media outlets were silenced in Cambodia; as thousands were killed extrajudicially in the Philippines’ war on drugs; and as close to 700,000 ethnic Rohingya were forcibly displaced from their homes in Myanmar. Last year, at least two dozen individuals were convicted for advocating for democracy in Vietnam, while an ethnic minority Chinese-Christian candidate was effectively barred from Jakarta’s top post in Muslim-majority Indonesia.

I can already see the chorus of tweets flooding my feed, arguing that Asean is not even in the business of promoting democracy. They would be right – to the extent that this clearly has not been on the bloc’s to-do list in recent years. They would be wrong, however, to suggest that I have set an unfair bar for a regional grouping that is married to the principle of non-interference in domestic affairs.

The goal of establishing the Asean Political- Security Community (APSC), one of the two unloved siblings of the Asean Economic Community (AEC), promised to the people of the region a “just, democratic and harmonious environment”. It is normally easier to gauge how much the AEC has moved forward given the quantifiable nature of regional economic integration. The same isn’t true of the APSC, but history will surely remember the year gone by as more failure than success.

이슈: ISIS in SEA-AUS, ECON


For the first time in history, Australia will host a summit with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) this weekend.


1. In fact, the conflict in Marawi has already led to enhanced regional security cooperation.

c.f. PHILIPPINES PROTEST MARAWI SIEGE ANNIVERSARY


Amid growing concerns that global terror group Isis, also known as Islamic State, will seek to establish a stronghold in Southeast Asia to compensate for its heavy losses in Iraq and Syria, leaders of all but one of the Asean countries, along with the secretary general of the regional bloc, will gather in Sydney to discuss regional trade, investment and security.


2. “Given Asean is now Australia’s third largest trading partner… the economic dimensions of the meeting shouldn’t be underestimated,” he said. “And it’s not just us looking at what we can do in the Asean market, but, increasingly, what a growing middle class in Asean is going to mean for Australia.”


Australia’s two-way trade with the region now eclipses its trade with the United States and Japan, accounting for 11.5% of Australian exports and 16.1% of imports, with education-related travel and crude petroleum respectively Australia’s largest export and largest goods export to Asean, according to data from the Australian government. ????


By joining Asean, Australia would lose the ability to criticise foreign regimes for failing to uphold its professed values of democracy, human rights and the rule of law.>>가입하면 미얀마 사태 등에 대한 목소리 못높힘
