Temporary Shadow Zone Analysis Using Parabolic Equation Method In The Lifamatola Strait, North Maluku
Abstract  Indonesia has wide waters two thirds from mainland Thing this Becomes base for Indonesia to could utilise profusely potency existing sea _ good from riches bioavailability and mineral content _ in it , besides have riches Indonesia also has nature potency which need supervision specifically room still underwater _ not yet capable We master and control , p this raises vulnerability for Indonesian territorial security . Enhancement ability in utilise technology is something inevitability in maintain very area _ broad , broad determination of the Shadow zone in an area that is temporary will Becomes addition in do area security . Shadow Zone temporary analysis with method Parabolic Equation in the North Maluku Lifamatola Slat concluded that Profile the speed of sound in the waters of Lifamatola, North Maluku at high tide and low tide , indicates The attenuation coefficient will affect the TL value which is based on the simulation results of the TL value if the distance is farther (deep water), then the TL value will be even greater. The Shadow Zone area at a depth of 985 meters is wider than at a depth of 775.6 due to the longer sound wave distance , the distribution pattern of soundproof columns ( Shadow Zone ) during high tide and low tide conditions . There are many shadow zone patterns at Station 2 found compared at Station 1 . on location transducer 25 meters, visible medium that is not caught radiance more narrow compared with location transducer 110 meters so the Shadow Zone area with position transducer 110 meters more broad .Keywords : _ Speed sound , Transducer , Shadow Zone, Parabolic Equation
Explaining Myanmar's Regime Transition: The Periphery is Central
In 2010, Myanmar (Burma) held its first elections after 22 years of direct military rule. Few compelling explanations for this regime transition have emerged. This article critiques popular accounts and potential explanations generated by theories of authoritarian âregime breakdownâ and âregime maintenanceâ. It returns instead to the classical literature on military intervention and withdrawal. Military regimes, when not terminated by internal factionalism or external unrest, typically liberalise once they feel they have sufficiently addressed the crises that prompted their seizure of power. This was the case in Myanmar. The military intervened for fear that political unrest and ethnic-minority separatist insurgencies would destroy Myanmarâs always-fragile territorial integrity and sovereignty. Far from suddenly liberalising in 2010, the regime sought to create a âdisciplined democracyâ to safeguard its preferred social and political order twice before, but was thwarted by societal opposition. Its success in 2010 stemmed from a strategy of coercive state-building and economic incorporation via âceasefire capitalismâ, which weakened and co-opted much of the opposition. Having altered the balance of forces in its favour, the regime felt sufficiently confident to impose its preferred settlement. However, the transition neither reflected total âvictoryâ for the military nor secured a genuine or lasting peace
Regulatory regionalism and anti-money-laundering governance in Asia
With the intensification of the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF's) worldwide campaign to promote anti-money-laundering regulation since the late 1990s, all Asian states except North Korea have signed up to its rules and have established a regional institutionâthe Asia/Pacific Group on Money Launderingâto promote and oversee the implementation of FATF's 40 Recommendations in the region. This article analyses the FATF regime, making two key claims. First, anti-money-laundering governance in Asia reflects a broader shift to regulatory regionalism, particularly in economic matters, in that its implementation and functioning depend upon the rescaling of ostensibly domestic agencies to function within a regional governance regime. Second, although this form of regulatory regionalism is established in order to bypass the perceived constraints of national sovereignty and political will, it nevertheless inevitably becomes entangled within the socio-political conflicts that shape the exercise of state power more broadly. Consequently, understanding the outcomes of regulatory regionalism involves identifying how these conflicts shape how far and in what manner global regulations are adopted and implemented within specific territories. This argument is demonstrated by a case study of Myanmar
Fortifying or fragmenting the state? The political economy of the drug trade in Shan State, Myanmar, 1988-2012
Over the past twenty-five years, the government of Myanmar (Burma) has consolidated control over large parts of Shan State, neutralizing much of the threat posed by armed groups and strengthening its hold over revenue extraction. During this period Myanmar has retained its position as the world's second largest producer of illicit opium, much of which is converted into heroin within the country's borders. This article explores the relationship between state-building processes and the illicit opium/heroin economy in Shan State since 1988. The author has four aims. First, to reassess the theoretical assumptions that equate illicit economies with state fragility and demonstrate instead why illicit drug economies can become embedded in processes of conflict reduction and state consolidation. Second, to explain why establishing control over Shan State has become so important to the Myanmar government's state-building ambitions. Third, to analyze how the state's engagement with the drug trade has become a vital part of its attempts to consolidate control, in terms of financing military expansion and brokering deals with strongmen who are able to govern local populations. Finally, to assess how these strategies embody a form of ânegotiated statehoodâ in which the state's growing control has been defined by attempts to manage, rather than monopolize, the means of coercion and extraction
