Abstract:
|
I examine and compare the effect of inter-state identity politics in Northeast (NEA) and Southeast Asia (SEA) for their respective conflict resolution and common policy making. Specifically, I analyze how evolving identity-relationships in the two different regions affect the resolution of their bilateral territorial disputes and the formation of common policies vis-à-vis extra-regional powers since 1980. _x000d__x000d_The empirical puzzle concerns (1) why SEA nations have managed to resolve two of their territorial disputes through the International Court of Justice, while NEA nations intensified their disputes; and (2) why SEA nations have a high degree convergence of foreign policies, whereas NEA nations have a rather low degree._x000d__x000d_I argue that it is this variation in identity-relationship that explains the variation in the two outcomes. Through content analysis of newspaper editorials in the six countries, I show that in NEA the degree of ingroup identity is low due to the past Japanese colonialism and unresolved issues regarding WWII. In contrast, in SEA the common realization of individual weakness, coupled with frequent interactions, has resulted in an increased sense of ingroup identity. |
