    The Role of the Maldives in the Indo-Pacific Security Space in South Asia Written by Athaulla A. Rasheed This PDF is auto-generated for reference only.

The Role of the Maldives in the Indo-Pacific Security Space in South Asia https://www.e-ir.info/2021/02/09/the-role-of-the-maldives-in-the-indo-pacific-security-space-in-south-asia/ ATHAULLA A. RASHEED, FEB 9 2021 The signing of a defence agreement between the Maldives and the United States (US) in September 2020 was welcomed by India as a positive step towards regional cooperation (Rej, 2020). Historically cautious of extra-regional powers engaging in military and strategic activities in its Indian Ocean ‘backyard’, India has claimed a dominant role in terms of managing regional maritime boundaries. Located ‘barely 70 nautical miles away from Minicoy and 300 nautical miles away from India’s West coast, [and within] the hub of commercial sea‐lanes running through Indian Ocean (particularly the 8° N and 1 ½° N channels),’(Ministry of External Affairs, 2019a, p. 1) the Maldives occupies a critical strategic position in South Asia. A history of friendly ties and geographic proximity have ensured political trust, economic cooperation and coherent strategic polices between the two. Despite the historical bonds between these neighbours, their relationship took a sharp turn towards political uncertainty between 2013 and 2018 as a result of former Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom’s pro-China policy (Rasheed, 2018, 2019, 2020).

  • Brunei Darussalam
    Human Capital Project - October 2020 Brunei Darussalam Human Capital Index 2020 This brief provides an update to the Human Capital Index (HCI). First launched in 2018, the HCI measures the amount of human capital that a child born today can expect to attain by age 18. It conveys the productivity of the next generation of workers compared to a benchmark of complete education and full health. Worldwide a child born in 2020 can expect, on average, to be 56 percent as productive as she could be when she grows up. All data represent the status of countries pre-COVID-19. THE HUMAN CAPITAL INDEX Human Capital Index. A child born in Brunei Darussalam today will be 63 percent as productive when she grows up as she could be if she enjoyed complete education and full health. This is higher than the average for East Asia & Pacific region but lower than the average for High income countries. • Probability of Survival to Age 5. 99 out of 100 children born in Brunei Darussalam survive to age 5. Figure 1. HCI and Components • Expected Years of School. In Brunei Darussalam, a child who starts school at age 4 can expect to complete 13.2 years of school by her 18th Human Capital Index birthday. • Harmonized Test Scores. Students in Brunei Darussalam score 438 on .2 .4 .6 .8 1 a scale where 625 represents advanced attainment and 300 represents minimum attainment. Probability of Survival to Age 5 • Learning-adjusted Years of School. Factoring in what children actually learn, expected years of school is only 9.2 years.

Maintaining this momentum, however, will require certain reforms to strengthen the region’s economic and social sustainability. This will include reducing regulatory barriers to competition and market entry to help foster innovation, efficiency and productivity. The logistics sector plays a significant role in fostering economic development. Apart from its contribution to a country’s GDP, a well-developed logistics network has an impact on most economic activities.

  • Maldives 2019 Human Rights Report
    MALDIVES 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Republic of Maldives is a multiparty constitutional democracy. In September 2018 voters elected Ibrahim Mohamed Solih president. Observers considered the election mostly free and fair despite a flawed pre-election process, which was overseen by the former administration. Parliamentary elections held on April 6 were well administered and transparent according to local and international observers. Maldives Police Service (MPS) is responsible for internal security and reports to the Ministry of Home Affairs. Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) is responsible for external security and disaster relief and reports to the Ministry of Defence. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Significant human rights issues included: allegations of torture by government authorities; significant problems with the independence of the judiciary; trafficking in persons; criminalization of same-sex sexual conduct; and the lack of a legal framework recognizing independent trade unions. The government took some steps to investigate officials who committed human rights abuses, including enforced disappearances, and established investigative commissions. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings There were no reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. b. Disappearance There were no reports of disappearances by or on behalf of government authorities. The government took steps to investigate disappearances reported in previous years. MALDIVES 2 On September 1, the Presidential Commission on Deaths and Disappearances shared preliminary results from its investigation into the 2014 disappearance of reporter Ahmed Rilwan, noting that evidence indicated Rilwan was killed on a vessel at sea following his abduction.

  • Don't Make Us Choose: Southeast Asia in the Throes of US-China Rivalry
    THE NEW GEOPOLITICS OCTOBER 2019 ASIA DON’T MAKE US CHOOSE Southeast Asia in the throes of US-China rivalry JONATHAN STROMSETH DON’T MAKE US CHOOSE Southeast Asia in the throes of US-China rivalry JONATHAN STROMSETH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY U.S.-China rivalry has intensified significantly in Southeast Asia over the past year. This report chronicles the unfolding drama as it stretched across the major Asian summits in late 2018, the Second Belt and Road Forum in April 2019, the Shangri-La Dialogue in May-June, and the 34th summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in August. Focusing especially on geoeconomic aspects of U.S.-China competition, the report investigates the contending strategic visions of Washington and Beijing and closely examines the region’s response. In particular, it examines regional reactions to the Trump administration’s Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) strategy. FOIP singles out China for pursuing regional hegemony, says Beijing is leveraging “predatory economics” to coerce other nations, and poses a clear choice between “free” and “repressive” visions of world order in the Indo-Pacific region. China also presents a binary choice to Southeast Asia and almost certainly aims to create a sphere of influence through economic statecraft and military modernization. Many Southeast Asians are deeply worried about this possibility. Yet, what they are currently talking about isn’t China’s rising influence in the region, which they see as an inexorable trend that needs to be managed carefully, but the hard-edged rhetoric of the Trump administration that is casting the perception of a choice, even if that may not be the intent.
