First published in the year 2000, the ARF Annual Security Outlook serves as an essential instrument for the promotion of confidence building through greater transparency. The voluntary sharing of information and perspectives on political and security issues compounding the region, continues to strengthen mutual understanding among its members. This is the essence of the ARF framework that we have been advocating since its inception in 1994. The ARF has certainly made a big contribution towards the sustained period of peace and stability, which led to greater level of prosperity in the region. The year 2015 is a historic and a significant year for ASEAN as it is the year the ASEAN Community is to be realised. As Chairman of ASEAN and concurrently the Chairman of the ARF, we intend to work towards the promotion of regional peace and security through moderation as a shared value in addressing conflict and finding solutions to issues concerning regional peace and security. I take this opportunity to express my deepest appreciation to all ARF Members for the sustained commitment to ensure the successful implementation of the Hanoi Plan of Action to Implement the ARF Vision Statement as well as other related Work Plans in support of the ARF process. Lastly, I wish to convey my sincere thanks to all members of the ARF for the support given in the publication of the ARF Annual Security Outlook 2015.

  • Freedom in the World 2016 Philippines
    Philippines Page 1 of 8 Published on Freedom House (https://freedomhouse.org) Home > Philippines Philippines Country: Philippines Year: 2016 Freedom Status: Partly Free Political Rights: 3 Civil Liberties: 3 Aggregate Score: 65 Freedom Rating: 3.0 Overview: A deadly gun battle in January, combined with technical legal challenges, derailed progress in 2015 on congressional ratification of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BLL), under which a new self-governing region, Bangsamoro, would replace and add territory to the current Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The BLL was the next step outlined in a landmark 2014 peace treaty between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the country’s largest rebel group. The agreement, which could end more than 40 years of separatist violence among Moros, as the region’s Muslim population is known, must be approved by Congress and in a referendum in Mindanao before going into effect. President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino’s popularity suffered during the year due to his role in the January violence—in which about 70 police, rebels, and civilians were killed—and ongoing corruption. Presidential and legislative elections were scheduled for 2016. In October, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, the Netherlands, ruled that it had jurisdiction to hear a case filed by the Philippines regarding its dispute with China over territory in the South China Sea, despite objections from China.

Y. Low Department of Sociology, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore ABSTRACT The Nepalese Gurkhas have often been regarded as brave warriors in the scheme of British military recruitment since the 1800s. Today, their descendants have settled in various parts of South East and South Asia. How can one conceive of a Gurkha diaspora, and what are the Gurkhas and their families’ experiences of belonging in relation to varied migratory routes? This paper locates Gurkhas as migrants by deliberating upon the connection between military service and migration paths. I employ the lens of methodological transnationalism to elucidate how the Gurkha diaspora is both constructed and experienced. Diasporic consciousness and formation undergo modification alongside subsequent cycles of migration for different members of a diaspora.
