    Cambodia: Defense Strategic Review 2002

    Defense Strategic Review 2002 On behalf of the Royal Government, I would like to express my most sincere congratulation for the successful creation of this Defense Strategic Review. It reflects the determination of the Ministry of National Defense and the High Command Headquarters to implement the Royal Government’s defense policy more successfully. I fully believe that this Defense Strategic Review 2002 will be an effective instrument for the successful implementation of the Royal Government’s reform policy, particularly the reform of the Armed Forces. It demonstrates the efforts made by the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces in building its reputation internationally. It also represents Cambodia’s commitment in promoting transparency and building confidence in security matters with all nations in the region. I totally support the measures and recommendations laid down by this document and request that it becomes widely understood within the RCAF and that it be released publicly in national and international circles. Hun Sen Prime Minister Foreword The establishment of a realistic defense policy has inevitably encountered difficulties, but what is infinitely more difficult is the implementation of this policy to achieve ultimate success. This has been to experience to date regarding the implementation of the principles of the White Paper 2000. The Defense Strategic Review 2002 contains further guidelines for H.E. General Tea Banh Senior Minister fulfilling the roles and tasks of the Co-Minister of National Defense Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) productively and according to the current and future security environments. The Outlook has been developed based on studies, research and analyses on the evolution of the security situation and results already achieved in military reform.

The White Paper highlights the prospect of the COVID- 19 pandemic intensifying great power competition over the regional and international orders and draws attention to Chinese “propaganda” and “disinformation” during the pandemic. The document’s publication comes in the wake of increased Chinese “grey zone” operations in the East China Sea, changing dynamics in the Korean Peninsula, and the renewed domestic debate on strike capability following Defence Minister Kono Taro’s decision to cancel the planned acquisition and deployment of the land-based Aegis Ashore system. The US-Japan alliance, based on the US-Japan Security Treaty, which marked its 60th anniversary in 2020, continues to remain a core pillar of Japan’s defence. The White Paper expresses Japan’s “grave” concern about China’s “relentless” unilateral attempts to change the status quo around the contested Senkaku Islands. That Japan’s threat perception vis-à-vis China has steadily increased in recent years is evident from the fact that the 2019 white paper expressed “serious security concern”, and the 2018 iteration “strong security concerns”, while referring to China’s attempts to alter the status quo.

With the dynamics of global, regional, and national strategic environmental conditions, the second track diplomacy model is a step that considered to be effective and efficient in finding solutions in every problem between countries. The Indonesian Navy, which, according to Kent Booth, has one of its functions in carrying out diplomacy, has carried out several diplomatic steps. As an archipelago that has land and sea borders with ten neighboring countries, to prioritize this second track diplomacy model is necessary. Considering the vast territory of Indonesia's territorial sea, a method of maritime defense strategies can apply this diplomacy model. In writing this article, the author uses a literature study by gathering various information from various sources, then the theory used in conducting discussions and analysis with the theory of Barry Buzan. This article concludes an input and recommendations for policymakers to prioritize second track diplomacy in solving various existing problems, especially in Indonesia's sea border region with neighbor in countries. Keywords: Strategy, Sea Defense, Diplomacy. INTRODUCTION As an archipelagic country in which there is an Indonesian archipelagic sea lane that becomes a route of world shipping traffic, Indonesia is responsible for safety and security in the territorial sea that is its jurisdiction.
