  • ASEAN Armies in Singapore for the 27Th ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet
    ASEAN Armies in Singapore for the 27th ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet 13 Nov 2017 The Singapore Army is hosting the 27th ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet (AARM), an annual army shooting competition among the 10 ASEAN countries (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesian, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam) from 6 to 22 Nov 2017. There are a total of 550 participants competing in five disciplines - Carbine, Machine Gun, Pistol Ladies, Pistol Men and Rifle. The 27th AARM's motto "Comrades in AARM" emphasises and promotes solidarity among ASEAN armies, reflecting the aim and purpose of AARM. The shooting competition 1 continues to bolster professional interaction, and strengthen social bonds and camaraderie among the ASEAN armies. Speaking at the opening ceremony today, Chief of Staff - General Staff, Brigadier-General Siew Kum Wong welcomed the shooting participants. He said, "The annual AARM serves as an important avenue for the continued renewal of ties among the armies of member countries… AARM 2017 will provide ample opportunities for shooters to pit their marksmanship skills against one another. More importantly, it provides the platform for professional military ties to be established and deepened and this is exemplified by our motto for AARM 2017, "Comrades in AARM." For the first time, the AARM pistol competition will be held indoors at the Multi-Mission Range Complex (MMRC). The rest of the competition will be held at SAF's outdoor ranges, namely the SAFTI 300m Range, and the Nee Soon 500m Range. The ASEAN Army Chiefs and Sergeant Majors will also come together on 21 Nov 2017 for the 18th ASEAN Chiefs of Army Multilateral Meeting and the 7th ASEAN Sergeant Majors Annual Meeting.

Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Dr.rer.pol. im Fach Politischenwissenschaft vorgelegt von Rodon Pedrason Eingereicht an der Fakultät für Wirtschafts - und Sozialwissenschaften der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität HeidelBerg Gutachter: 1. Prof. Dr. Aurel Croissant, Institut für Politische Wissenschaft, Universität HeidelBerg 2. Prof. Dr. Jörn Dosch, Lehrstuhl für Internationale Politik und Entwicklungszusammenarbeit, Institut für Politik- und Verwaltungswissenschaften, Universität Rostock HeidelBerg, im Sommersemester 2015 i Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine whether the practice of ASEAN member states’ defence diplomacy through practical defence cooperatives for handling security challenges in Southeast Asia contain the characteristics of a defence community which could pave the way for the formation of a future Southeast Asian defence community. The security challenges facing the countries of Southeast Asia today lie in creating a stable environment. The debate over the concept of security has broadened the discourse on regional security cooperation, which drives states to engage more deeply in multilateral diplomacy in order to defend better and promote their national interests, and particularly in handling problems in maintaining a stable peace in the region. As the unit of analysis, this study examined the forum of the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM) and ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (ADMM-Plus), and selects six ASEAN member states as the loci of the study, namely: Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore; Thailand and Vietnam. The different forms of government system became the reasons for selecting these six countries, i.e. a democratic state such as Indonesia, a semi-authoritarian system such as in Malaysia and Singapore, a monarchy as in Brunei and Thailand, socialist countries such as Vietnam.

  • Challenges Facing ASEAN Defence Ministers Termsak Chalermpalanupap
    Challenges Facing ASEAN Defence Ministers Termsak Chalermpalanupap ASEAN defence establishments have attained remarkable achievements during their first decade of regional cooperation, starting with the inaugural ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting (ADMM) in Kuala Lumpur on 9 May 2006. How successful they can continue to be over the next decade depends very much on whether they can cope with challenges amidst the growing international uncertainty as well as the intensi- fying complexity of the Sino-US rivalry in the Indo-Pacific, especially in the South China Sea. ASEAN risks losing its centrality if cooperation in the ADMM is lagging behind while cooperation in the ADMM-Plus is growing in leaps and bounds and is sometimes driven by powerful Dialogue Partners. Excessive preoccupation with external engage- ments in the ADMM-Plus will distract ASEAN defence establishments from their own ADMM agenda. An ineffective ADMM will weaken the collective ASEAN leadership role in the ADMM-Plus and could embolden some Dialogue Partners to try to hijack the process to serve their own narrow strategic interests. One proposed solution is for ASEAN defence establishments to redouble their concerted efforts in defending ASEAN centrality by first creating more substantive cooperation in the ADMM. A stronger ADMM can manage the ADMM-Plus more effectively. At the same time, productive ADMM cooperation will boost the develop- ment of the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC), thereby contributing to the building of the ASEAN Community towards 2025. Successful cooperation of ASEAN defence establishments can increase mu- tual trust and understanding. This can help overcome the “trust deficit” among some ASEAN governments, and reinforce the “we-feeling” or the “ASEAN Spirit” of be- longing to the same integrated ASEAN Community.
