  • The Borderlands of Southeast Asia Southeast of Borderlands the That Comforting Ambiguity Has Disappeared
    Edited by James Clad, Sean M. McDonald, and Bruce Vaughn s an academic field in its own right, the topic of border studies is experiencing a revival in university geography courses as well as in wider political commentary. Until recently, border studies in con- Atemporary Southeast Asia appeared as an afterthought at best to the politics of interstate rivalry and national consolidation. The maps set out all agreed postcolonial lines. Meanwhile, the physical demarcation of these boundar- ies lagged. Large slices of territory, on land and at sea, eluded definition or delineation. The Borderlands of Southeast Asia That comforting ambiguity has disappeared. Both evolving technologies and price levels enable rapid resource extraction in places, and in volumes, once scarcely imaginable. The beginning of the 21st century’s second decade is witnessing an intensifying diplomacy, both state-to-state and commercial, over offshore petroleum. In particular, the South China Sea has moved from being a rather arcane area of conflict studies to the status of a bellwether issue. Along with other contested areas in the western Pacific and south Asia, the problem increasingly defines China’s regional relationships in Asia—and with powers outside the region, especially the United States. Yet intraregional territorial differences also hobble multilateral diplomacy to counter Chinese claims, and daily management of borders remains burdened by a lot of retrospective baggage. The contributors to this book emphasize this mix of heritage and history as the primary leitmotif for contemporary border rivalries and dynamics. Whether the region’s 11 states want it or not, their bordered identity is falling into ever sharper definition—if only because of pressure from extraregional states.

  • The Thai Government's Response to Human Trafficking
    Assumption University Law Journal | 85 ปีที่ 5 ฉบับที่ 2 กรกฎาคม – ธันวาคม 2557 THE THAI GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSE TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING: AREAS OF STRENGTH AND SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT (PART I) Cristina Liebolt* Abstract Thailand had been on the U.S. TIP Report’s Tier 2 Watch List for four years in a row since 2010 and was downgraded to Tier 3 in June 2014. Thailand was downgraded to Tier 3 because it was deemed to not be making significant efforts to comply with the minimum standards required by the TVPA. Tier 3 countries are subject to economic sanctions, though the President can waive sanctions if U.S. assistance would help the country combat trafficking. This paper highlights the strengths and areas of needed improvement for the Thai government in its response to the overwhelming problem of human trafficking. Specifically, this paper first offers suggestions for anti-trafficking organizational bodies: the Department of Special Investigations’ Anti-Human Trafficking Center, the Royal Thai Police, the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security’s Bureau of Anti- Trafficking in Women and Children, and Non-Government Organizations. The paper then reviews the current anti-trafficking legislation and policies and offers suggested revisions. The paper concludes with two case spotlights of a successful response by the Thai government to sex trafficking victims and to labor trafficking victims. If the Thai government implements some of these suggestions, it will put Thailand in the best position possible to be upgraded to Tier 2 in the
