    Arms Procurement Decision Making Volume II: Chile, Greece, Malaysia

    4. Malaysia Dagmar Hellmann-Rajanayagam* I. Introduction Malaysia has become one of the major political players in the South-East Asian region with increasing economic weight. Even after the economic crisis of 1997–98, despite defence budgets having been slashed, the country is still deter- mined to continue to modernize and upgrade its armed forces. Malaysia grappled with the communist insurgency between 1948 and 1962. It is a democracy with a strong government, marked by ethnic imbalances and affirmative policies, strict controls on public debate and a nascent civil society. Arms procurement is dominated by the military. Public apathy and indifference towards defence matters have been a noticeable feature of the society. Public opinion has disregarded the fact that arms procurement decision making is an element of public policy making as a whole, not only restricted to decisions relating to military security. An examination of the country’s defence policy- making processes is overdue. This chapter inquires into the role, methods and processes of arms procure- ment decision making as an element of Malaysian security policy and the public policy-making process. It emphasizes the need to focus on questions of public accountability rather than transparency, as transparency is not a neutral value: in many countries it is perceived as making a country more vulnerable.1 It is up 1 Ball, D., ‘Arms and affluence: military acquisitions in the Asia–Pacific region’, eds M.

    France's Foreign and Security Policy Under President Macron. the Consequences for Franco-German Cooperation

    SWP Research Paper Ronja Kempin (ed.) France’s Foreign and Security Policy under President Macron The Consequences for Franco-German Cooperation Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs SWP Research Paper 4 May 2021, Berlin Abstract ∎ French President Emmanuel Macron has announced his goal of revitalis- ing Franco-German relations and founding a “new partnership” between Paris and Berlin. However, in foreign and security policy, and in certain areas of his Europe policy, this aspiration has rarely been fulfilled. ∎ The main reasons are structural changes in international relations, which the French and German sides have reacted to differently. Paris is looking for new ways of preserving its autonomy in defence policy and of filling the strategic vacuum that has been created by the waning US interest in Europe and its periphery. Berlin emphasises the development of NATO and the EU as fundamental organisations for German foreign policy. ∎ Reconciling bilateral interests is also complicated by national solo efforts, indifference, and inadequate exchange of experience. ∎ The first precondition for intensifying bilateral cooperation is for Paris and Berlin to conduct a comprehensive review of the international con- flict situation in their existing cooperation formats as regards foreign and security policy. The two governments need to discuss openly to what extent their national interests are concerned, and then determine con- crete measures. ∎ Second, they must refrain from national solo efforts and be sensitive to the other’s pressure points in foreign, security and Europe policy. The Franco-German Parliamentary Assembly needs to urge the executive of both countries to fulfil the Élysée Treaty and the Aachen Treaty.
  • ELN Group Statement UNGA 2019

    ELN Group Statement UNGA 2019

    As world leaders prepare to meet this month at the United Nations in New York, we call on them to take urgent steps to reduce the risks of nuclear confrontation. We join a growing number of international leaders in raising the alarm over new nuclear dangers. Last month we witnessed the end of the landmark US-Russia Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF). Today, there are grave doubts over the future of the only remaining agreement that limits and regulates Washington and Moscow’s strategic nuclear weapons, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). And new challenges confront the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Stability is eroding and risks are rising. North Korea has grown its nuclear weapon stockpile, tests missiles, and continues to feel threatened. The fate of inter-Korean and US-DPRK dialogue remains uncertain. Tensions are flaring between nuclear rivals India and Pakistan. And, following Washington’s unilateral breach and resumed sanctions, Iran may walk away from the nuclear deal that constrains its ability to develop nuclear weapons. Moreover, new military technologies threaten to destabilise global and regional nuclear confrontations. These technologies are rapidly evolving and entirely uncontrolled. The risks of nuclear accident, misjudgement or miscalculation have not been higher since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Complacency should not be an option. It is not only European security at stake. Simply coercing an adversary will not restore stability. Politically unrealistic appeals for transformed behaviour will not build trust. An accelerating arms race makes both trust and safer behaviours harder to achieve. It is possible to negotiate with adversaries without condoning unacceptable behaviour.
  • Prabowo Subianto and Indonesia's Geostrategic Defence Outlook

    Prabowo Subianto and Indonesia's Geostrategic Defence Outlook

    No.No. 09 09 / / 27 27 January January 2020 2020 www.habibiecenter.or.idwww.habibiecenter.or.id Prabowo Subianto and Indonesia’s Geostrategic Defence Outlook: Between US-China and ASEAN By Naifa Rizani Intern at The Habibie Center [email protected] Introduction The appointment of the new Indonesian Minister of Defence, Prabowo Subianto, has stirred a lot of debate due to his questionable track record from his previous career in the Indonesian Military. After being appointed by President Joko Widodo in the new cabinet, Prabowo Subianto promptly held several meetings with foreign representatives, notably from the two great power countries, discussing defence cooperation while he also gave a bold statement urging the strengthening of regional security at the ASEAN Defence Ministerial Meeting (17/11).1 This raised a discourse on how Prabowo will translate President Joko Widodo’s vision and mission into Indonesia’s defence policy in the future. What is his focus for Indonesia’s Ministry of Defence? How will he maintain the defence ties between the great powers and with ASEAN? And how will Indonesia’s defence ties turn under his watch? Prabowo Subianto as the New Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto was (in)famously known for his military career and later as President Joko Widodo’s contender in the general elections of 2014 and 2019. Nevertheless his military background and political standing are expected to help him in his new role as Defence Minister. As a former Army lieutenant general, he is well-informed of the need to improve Indonesia’s defence situation, and is perceived to have gained the full trust of the President who even declared, “I believe I don’t have to tell him about his job -- he knows more than I do.”2 Despite the criticism received by several human rights groups that are concerned by the possibility of a greater military role in the civil sphere and also his seeming lack of concern on human rights issues, Prabowo Subianto’s longstanding experiences in the field appear No.
  • India-France Relations

    India-France Relations

    India-France Relations Relations between India and France have traditionally been close and friendly. With the establishment of the strategic partnership in 1998, there has been significant progress in all areas of bilateral cooperation through regular high-level exchanges at the Head of State/Head of Government levels and growing commercial exchanges including in strategic areas such as defence, nuclear energy and space. France was the first country with which India entered into an agreement on nuclear energy following the waiver given by International Atomic Energy Agency and the Nuclear Suppliers’ Group enabling India to resume full civil nuclear cooperation with the international community. Today our relations are growing fast in important areas for the future, with wide-ranging cooperation in political, economic and cultural fields and on defence, space, science & technology, and education. France has consistently supported India’s increasing role in international fora. At the invitation of Prime Minister Shri Manmohan Singh, President Sarkozy undertook his second visit to India from 4-7 December 2010. His visit contributed to further strengthening the bilateral relationship between India and France – especially in key areas of civil nuclear, space and defence co-operation. This was an occasion for both leaders to reaffirm their shared vision and values and to announce their determination to give a new impetus to the Indo-French Strategic Partnership and greater content to our economic and commercial relations, while expanding ties in the fields of culture, science and technology and education. In the last two years, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Sarkozy have also met at international conferences - the G-8 + 5 in Italy and the G-20 Summits in London (April 2009), Pittsburg (Sept 2009), and Cannes (Nov 2011).
