Scientific cooperation in the South China Sea: another lever for China?

Overview Security issues in the South China Sea are often studied, whereas analysis of scientific cooperation in those waters is rare, thinly spread and short. This paper looks at shared priorities, China\u27s leading role in launching scientific programs, implications for the environment, and the use of scientific cooperation as a power vector. The research space is increasingly well controlled, but that control isn’t the product of scientific cooperation. It’s the result of China leading research programs. Scientific cooperation hasn’t reduced mistrust, and common interests don’t prevail. In relations between Southeast Asia and China, the fulcrum is asymmetry. The differences in scientific cooperation noted in this paper demonstrate that asymmetry and its serious long-term consequences for neighbouring countries

Entre Asie orientale et Asie-Pacifique : la centralité de l’ASEAN à l’épreuve de la puissance ?

Longtemps cantonnée à l’ASEAN, l’organisation de l’Asie orientale est aujourd’hui le théâtre d’une potentielle rivalité normative entre les États-Unis d’une part (à travers le PTP) et la Chine d’autre part (notamment à travers le PERG). Au-delà de la mouvance géographique, ces deux projets poursuivent des objectifs différents et s’appuient sur des modalités distinctes. Chacun de ces projets transformera à sa façon la géo-économie de l’Asie orientale. De son côté, l’ASEAN a lancé sa Communauté le 31 décembre 2015 afin de conforter voire d’optimiser son positionnement et son rôle. Cet article s’interroge sur la capacité de l’Association à maintenir sa centralité au-delà des enjeux de puissance reflétés par les initiatives de ses grands partenaires.The organization of the East Asian region, long dominated by ASEAN, has now become a theater in which the United States and China compete over norms creation and rule setting: the former through the TPP and the latter through the RCEP. The projects supported by the two superpowers differ in their geographical scope as well as in their objectives and in their instruments, but each of them is set to change East Asia’s geo-economic landscape. In this moving context, the ASEAN Community was launched on 31 December 2015 with a view to strengthening or optimizing the association’s role. The objective of this paper is to assess ASEAN’s ability to maintain its centrality and to respond to the power game between its two major partners.

Crise économique et régionalisation en Asie orientale

Sophie Boisseau du Rocher — Economic crisis and régionalisation in Eastern Asia. The Asian economic crisis certainly served as boosting drive on the spur of novel views to the constitution of East-Asian community. But two main trigger- factors seem responsible for reversing the dominant current. Such are the initiatives taken prior to 1997 and the Chinese development, which serves as a powerful regional impetus.Boisseau du Rocher Sophie. Crise économique et régionalisation en Asie orientale.
