Why Asean Is Not Successful as Other Integration?

According to the Saylor organization, The UN and the United Sates gave several justifications for why they have intervened in the conflict, the most raised being the Iraqi contravention of Kuwaiti territorial integrity . On the other hand, no force was mobilized when Indonesia invaded East-Timor in 1975. In addition, the Pentagon claimed that the source of information for which they knew about the Iraqi forces building up in Kuwait was satellite photos, this was later shown to be false as the Satellite photos turned out to show only empty deserts (Saylor

Australia’s involvement with the UN has led to many peacekeeping operations in the Middle East with the United States and UK as well as many other countries. Australia also assisted in keeping peace in East Timor when it become independent from Indonesia, over 5000 Australian troops assisted in this operation.

After World War II in the 20th century, the United States and the Soviet Union were the new “Superpowers”. These two major nations had two conflicting political ideologies which were stated as Capitalism and Communism, and this had Australia right in the middle of the story. Since Australia has very strong ties with the US, making it even stronger after involving in the Vietnam War and also grew strong with the ‘SEATO’ and ‘ANZUS’ with the fear of the so called ‘domino theory’ and the foreign policies which including the Forward Defence Policy. This, however, allowed Australia to gain a closer chance to go to war in Vietnam.

This paper investigates and distinguishes, through my opinion, the impacts that Khmer Rouge’s also known as the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK) had on a global scale. First, by addressing the impacts to the immediate country, Cambodia and the tactics used by this abhorrent organization. Furthermore, the ideologies used by said organization, to instill fear and distrust in the population; which lead to there early demise, but not after 1.7 million people lost or sacrificed there lives for their country, per se. The lesson to be learned from this is, no matter who you are or what power you have, eventually you will have to answer to the international community if you commit such egregious acts of violence.

Although thought to be “not a big problem” and “under control” by most people, pollution is making its way in being a serious and an unforgiving threat to society. Pollution a topic everyone hears and knows exists. What they don’t know is how serious of a problem it is already becoming. Many health issues are being reported now that are linked to air pollution and even the most severe weather places have encountered are linked to air pollution also. By society, not fully being aware of the true threat that pollution is making, it will only become a growing threat that they will be encountering.

Taking into account the political and diplomatic support and the supply of planes and other war equipment used to fight the Timorese Resistance and the covering up that the Authorities did of the crimes committed against the People of East Timor, we can say that it

When the subject of the matter is internal conflicts, identifying key causes of the conflict is difficult when not knowing all the facts. For many other observers, including those from the Government of Indonesia (GOI), the conflict arises due to particular grievances in Acehnese society about economic, human rights, religious and other issues. Acehnese nationalists are apt to downplay grievances and

The United States military aid given to Kosovo raises many questions about the foreign affairs policy of the United States of America. Now the U.S. is sending its troops to Timor, a small island off the northern coast of Australia. The U.S. has sent marines to Australia to set up a command post for the troops that the United States will be sending to help with logistics, communications, and intelligence. Many critics believe that the U.S. should not get involved in matters that have no direct impact on the United States. But do not American’s believe that all men are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? If this is true then it should be the United States duty to

The Straits of Malacca channels two-thirds of the world’s entire freighted oil and half of its liquid natural gas tankers. Apart from energy supply vessel transit, the strait funnels about a third of the world’s annual freighted tonnage between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.” To put it in more concrete terms, the “oil transported through the Strait of Malacca from the Indian Ocean, en route to East Asia through the South China Sea, is more than six times the amount that passes through the Suez Canal, and 17 times the amount that transits the 8 Panama Canal. Roughly two-thirds of South Korea’s energy supplies, nearly 60 percent of Japan and Taiwan’s energy supplies, and about 80 percent of China’s crude oil imports come through the South China Sea.”

America’s intervention and involvement in the war in Southeast Asia was detrimental to most of the combatants in the war, and civilians in various countries. Through the close reading and analysis of several primary and secondary documents as well as essays, we are able to see how America produced conflict and escalated the intensity and harm of war in a way that resulted in negative physical, emotional, and environmental effects. Through a combination of America being over confident, and overzealous while ignoring countries wants, needs and plans, the country exacerbated pre-existing tension, violence, and loss. While Americas actions heavily affected the countries they were working with and against, the country itself was not left unscathed.

A comprehensive analysis of the United States' involvement in Indonesia during the Vietnam War is a virtual case study in lessons learned and mistakes not to make during martial encounters. These errors and the lessons they provided spanned a number of different areas, and include noticeable blunders in social and cultural contexts, presidential leadership, and in diplomatic negotiations.

In April 1975, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge rebel group moved into Phnom Penh, seizing power in Cambodia. In December of that same year, two thousand miles away on the other edge of Southeast Asia, the Indonesian military attacked East Timor.1 The Khmer Rouge stayed in power for four years; in these four years nearly a quarter of population in Cambodia died.2 on the other hand the Indonesian military spent the last quarter of the twentieth century involving East Timor; when around one fifth of that little country's population died.3

The process of decolonization in Southeast Asia was not totally a violent struggle due to the divers natures of the process of decolonization and the fight for independence in the various Southeast Asian nations. Furthermore, although the struggle for the withdrawal of the colonial masters was lined with bloodshed and violence, there were still moments in which peaceful negotiations managed to take place, rendering the process of decolonization in Southeast Asia a largely violent struggle as one cannot say that it was totally violent due to the differing situations that occurred in the different Southeast Asian nations during the process of

Globalization has become one of the most influential forces in the twentieth century. International integration of world views, products, trade and ideas has caused a variety of states to blur the lines of their borders and be open to an international perspective. The merger of the Europeans Union, the ASEAN group in the Pacific and NAFTA in North America is reflective of the notion of globalized trade. The North American Free Trade Agreement was the largest free trade zone in the world at its conception and set an example for the future of liberalized trade. The North American Free Trade Agreement is coming into it's twentieth anniversary on January 1st, 2014. 1 NAFTA not only sought to enhance the trade of goods and services across

ASEAN was officially founded in August 1967 when five founding member states jointly signed the Bangkok declaration. Since then ASEAN experienced number of threats, such as security threat in cold war, economic and financial threat in 1997 East Asia Economic crisis, and now being in the security dilemma between the United States and the People’s Republic of China, prominent major powers attempting to dominate the region, despite all the threat, ASEAN set its goal to become a community in December 2015 which has lot of potential to contribute to the world stage but it also has countless number of challenges, mainly caused by its diversities, nationalism and lack of
