Getting serious about Asia-Europe security cooperation
Article Abstract:
The first Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) held in Bangkok, Thailand in Mar. 1996 was an initial step in forging security cooperation between the two regions. The need for a security relationship will be further discussed in the 2nd ASEM summit in London, England, in 1998, although both sides already cooperate in both hard and soft security. The ASEM also makes it possible to envision a substantial and feasible agenda for future action between the two regions. The ASEM process likewise highlighted the need to keep the US committed to multilateral cooperation, both in Asia and more globally.

Taking India seriously
Article Abstract:
India has a working democracy and a federal system for managing the decentralized system needed in huge market economies in contrast to China. However, China receives more international attention while India is taken less seriously by the outside world. This irony prevails in light of the Gandhian sense which views India as an industrial power but, at the same time, a threat to itself and other economies. In addition, certain aspects of the Indian political system make reforms limited and cautious.

Tying China into the international system
Article Abstract:
The conversion of China into an economic superpower makes it necessary to implement an intricate strategy for tying the country into the global market economy. If China becomes an economic power, it will have many implications for East Asia, both economically and militarily. Tying China to multilateralism and to social and economic relationships with other countries can reduce the military tension bought about by Chinese progress.
