In the last few decades, Southeast Asia has become generally more
peaceful and more prosperous, with progress in economic
development, regional cooperation and integration. ASEAN in
particular plays a leading role within and beyond the region in
promoting multilateral cooperation in both security and economic
matters. All these developments progress amid increasing hegemonic
competition between the US and China for regional dominance in the
Asia-Pacific region. According to the realist viewpoint of
international politics, Southeast Asian states can do nothing but
choose sides at the expense of international political autonomy in
order to maintain their national interests. Tang argues, however,
that in fact there exists an opportunity for Southeast Asian states
to simultaneously reinforce their military security, economic
development and international political autonomy in face of the
US-China hegemonic competition. Drawing on the ideas of power
transition theory and recent works of capitalist peace, Tang argues
that small states can exploit the competition between great powers
to make economic gains and ensure security while maintaining their
autonomy. He outlines the necessity of cooperation among these
small states and of economic liberalization for the effectiveness
of this reinforcing dynamics, applying policy and econometric
analyses to a wide range of qualitative and quantitative data.
