Narendra Modi’s energetic personal diplomacy and promise to make India a ‘leading power’ surprised many analysts. Most had predicted that his government would concentrate on domestic issues, on the growth and development demanded by Indian voters, and that he lacked necessary experience in international relations. Instead, Modi’s first term saw a concerted attempt to reinvent Indian foreign policy by replacing inherited understandings of its place in the world with one drawn largely from Hindu nationalist ideology. Following Modi’s re-election in 2019, this book explores the drivers of this reinvention, arguing it arose from a combination of elite conviction and electoral calculation, and the impact it has had on India’s international relations.

Drawing on a wide body of literature on international rivalries, this comprehensive and theoretically grounded work explains the origins and evolution of the Sino-Indian rivalry. Contrary to popular belief, the authors argue that the Sino-Indian rivalry started almost immediately after the emergence of the two countries in the global arena. They demonstrate how the rivalry has systemic implications for both Asia and the global order, intertwining the positional and spatial dimensions that lie at the heart of the Sino-Indian relationship. Showing how this rivalry has evolved from the late 1940s to the present day, the essays in this collection underscore its significance for global politics and highlight how the asymmetries between India and China have the potential to escalate conflict in the future.

Story of Prince Nila Utama, an adventurous boy and son of the Sultan of Palembang, a Malay kingdom in Southeast Asia, and the Merlion. During his childhood, the young prince met a large and beautiful fish with a head of golden hair, at the bay near the palace, and developed a friendship after offering sweet potatoes to the fish. He would feed the fish daily and watch it swim and dance in the water. The fish suddenly disappeared after seven days and Prince Nila forgot about the short relationship over time. Many years later, as an adult, leading a team of men on an expedition across the ocean, Prince Nila's boat was caught in a typhoon and was mysteriously saved by a sea monster which turnout to be the long lost friend of the prince, the Merlion. The story illustrates the magical relationship between the Merlion and Prince Nila with discovery of Singapura, the Malay term for "Lion City." This fairy tale is linked to the founding of ancient Singapore, embracing historical friction with folklore. Merlion is the mascot of Singapore.

冷戰結束後三十年，東南亞如何建構獨立自主的區域秩序？ 從東南亞到東協共同體，「核心性」為何？又該如何發展？ 面對中美大國博弈的可能衝突，東南亞如何尋求平衡、掌握區域主導權？ 新加坡智庫學者──洪清源教授，從內部視角結合區域戰略觀， 完整爬梳東南亞區域主義的演變、探索東南亞的當代新秩序！ 本書不只是一部後冷戰時代的東南亞國際關係史── 更適合成為研究東南亞國際關係課程的核心教材！ 當代的東南亞如何成功建構獨立自主的區域秩序？關鍵就在於以「東協」（ASEAN，東南亞國家協會）為核心的多國合作關係。長期以來，東協透過各種協調機制，比如區域論壇（ARF）、外長會議（AMM Retreat）、國防部長會議（ADMM-Plus）等，強化各成員國之間的交流及合作。可以說，今天的東南亞已不僅僅是地理名詞，更是透過東協而凝聚為「共同體」，成為國際政治的重要角色。 ■東協的內部危機──從亞洲金融風暴到恐怖主義的擴散 不過，誕生於冷戰時期的東協（1967年），在冷戰結束後三十年間（1991-2017年）的發展歷程中，也多次面臨瀕臨解體的危機，其中影響最劇烈的便是亞洲金融風暴（1997年），以及於九一一事件（2001年）後恐怖主義活動在東南亞地區的擴散。 首先，爆發於泰國的亞洲金融風暴，直接導致泰國、馬來西亞、印尼的經濟與政治動亂，而東協其他成員國如新加坡卻未能伸出援手，凸顯當時東協內部合作體系的不完善。其次，東協在九一一事件發生後，遲遲未能組織因應跨國恐怖主義的集體行動；對抗恐怖主義的問題不只是防堵恐攻而已，還包括洗錢、毒品走私、網路犯罪、以及其他跨國犯罪等議題。本書對這些事件的發展過程均有詳細描述。 然而，危機也造就轉機。作者對此評論，「東協十國的成立正好撞上亞洲金融危機，而就在東協即將復甦的緊要關頭，又碰上九一一恐攻事件。如果不是這場金融危機，東協可能不會加速它的經濟與『非傳統安全』事務的整合。」換言之，上述事件雖然造成東南亞的嚴重損失，卻也迫使東南亞各國政府決心集中力量，組織更有效率的決策系統。 ■東協的外部挑戰──從南海主權爭議到中美衝突的困境 另一方面，對強調區域自主性的東協來說，最大的挑戰莫過於中國勢力的擴張，以及隨之而來的大國博弈──中美衝突。雖然在經濟上，中國持續與東南亞保持著密切的合作交流關係，但在政治上，中國也不斷對東南亞施加壓力，其中最具代表性、且歷時最長的事件便是南海主權爭議。 南海爭議事件起源於中國從1992年開始對南海區域的主權宣稱，引發越南、馬來西亞及菲律賓等東協成員國的抗爭，最終引來另一強權──美國的介入，並且在2012至2016年達到衝突的最巔峰。美國不只宣稱南海區域並非中國領土，更多次派遣海軍展示武力。兩大強權在東南亞的爭相競逐，似乎又讓東南亞重返冷戰體制的危機。 因此，東協在南海事件中的角色及決策，對於東南亞秩序的穩定便至關重要。「南海爭議是最能明確界定今天美中關係與兩國利益的範疇所在。無論是福是禍，東南亞地區都將根據此議題認知美國的決心與中國的意圖，而東協的觀點也將因此而形塑成型。」作者據此表示，東協如何協調意見不同的成員國，又如何周旋於中國與美國之間的「大國博弈」，試圖保持「平衡」並且不過度靠向其中一方，有賴於東協掌握區域主導權的決心，那便是「核心性」。 ■取決於東協的「核心性」，締造了當代東南亞穩定及發展的基礎！ 東協是奠定東南亞當代新秩序的核心所在，若沒有東協，不只是東南亞現有的區域自主性將不復存在，而一個缺乏核心的東南亞無政府狀態，也將會嚴重影響亞洲甚至是全球的國際安全。因此，闡明東南亞國家協會的角色及決策過程，是本書至關重要的部分。而所謂的「核心性」便是「保持對東南亞地區的管控，並且不讓區域外大國塑造該地區的命運」。 因此，對試圖維持東南亞自主性的東協來說，最重要的是如何鞏固成員國之間的團結、並且將針對東南亞乃至於全亞洲的整體安全方案，置於它的外交行動中心。作者認為，區域安全未必要優先訴諸武力，也可以透過多邊合作的模式來完成。而東協從大國政治的馬前卒，轉變為區域獨立的守護者，就是在面對強權時的小國之道的最好示範。 本書作者為東南亞近代史權威、新加坡智庫學者洪清源，他透過東南亞近三十年間的國際關係變化，包括東協與各成員國之間的互動，外部勢力如美國、中國、日本對東南亞的影響，並且援引多種檔案文獻，深入剖析歷史變遷和政治決策之間的聯繫，使得本書不只是一部冷戰後三十年的東南亞史，更是一部專業權威、爬梳東南亞區域政治的國際關係史最佳教材。
