Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Maritime piracy is not a new phenomenon. However, the nature, severity and impacts of contemporary piracy have evolved to become a highly-organised, professional and international scourge. This comparative and explanatory study set out to explore questions regarding the how and why of maritime piracy trends in Somali and Southeast Asian waters. This study sought to (a) conceptualise an appropriate definition of maritime piracy; (b) determine the causes and motivations for piracy in these regions; (c) offer insights as to the most effective ways of combating piracy; (d) investigate the various impacts and effects of piracy; and (e) discussing the significance of international responses to this phenomenon. In pursuing the above-mentioned goals this study offered a comparison of correlating trends and differences between these two regions. This study attributed the underlying motivations to two chief factors: namely, state failure and instability, as well as socio-economic factors. These two factors, along with several additional contributing factors, effectively established piracy’s main causes. The general findings of this study concluded that contemporary piracy cannot be understood without a thorough understanding of a combination of various factors. It was also argued that although the alleged link between piracy and terrorism remains speculative, piracy could have the ability to facilitate international terrorism. The nature of contemporary piracy in Somalia and Southeast Asia was examined, as well as a discussion of the most significant pirate attacks in these regions. This study established that the nature of Somali and Southeast Asian piracy display various similarities, as well as differences. Together with explanations accounting for decreases and increases in pirate attacks, it emerged that an increase in violence and sophistication of piracy is apparent. By highlighting how contemporary piracy has become both a regional and international security threat, this study brought forward arguments that showed how piracy negatively affects regional stability, as well as exacerbating poverty. Furthermore, this study found that the impacts of piracy are far-reaching and therefore require international and regional collaborative responses. Regarding solutions to piracy, emphasis was placed on including domestic, regional and international approaches. Moreover, this study argued that overlooking the internal problems on-land only serve to worsen the piracy situation in Somalia and Southeast Asia.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Seerowery is nie ‘n nuwe fenomeen nie. Die aard, erns en impak van hedendaagse seerowery het wel in ’n hoogs-georganiseerde, professionele en internasionale plaag ontwikkel. Hierdie vergelykende en beskrywende studie poog om die vrae rondom hoe en hoekom seerowery in die Somaliese en Suidoos-Asiese waters plaasvind. Die doel van hierdie studie was, om: (a) seerowery te konseptualiseer, (b) die oorsake en motivering(s) vir seerowery in spesifieke streke te bestudeer; en (c) die internasionale reaksie tot hierdie verskynsel te bespreek. Met die doel om die bogenoemde vrae te beantwoord verskaf hierdie studie ’n vergelyking van ooreenkomstige tendense en verskille tussen die twee gebiede. Hierdie studie skryf die onderliggende motiverings toe aan twee hoof faktore: naamlik, staatsmislukking en –onstabiliteit, en tweedens sosio-ekonomiese faktore. Daar is ook ’n paar aanvullende bydraende faktore wat kortliks bespreek word. Hierdie studie bevind dat hedendaagse seerowery nie volledig verstaan kan word sonder ’n begrip van verskeie faktore, wat in hierdie studie beskryf word, nie. Hierdie studie bevind ook dat alhoewel die beweerde verband tussen seerowery en terrorisme onseker is, dat seerowery wel die potensiaal besit om internasionale terrorisme te fasiliteer. Die aard van hedendaagse seerowery in Somalië en Suidoos-Asië is ondersoek, tesame met ’n bespreking van die mees beduidende seerower aanvalle in die gebiede. Hierdie studie wys dat die aard van Somaliese en Suidoos-Asiese seerowery vele ooreenkomste sowel as verskille bevat. Tesame met verduidelikings oor die afname en toename in seerower aanvalle verskaf hierdie studie ook ’n beskrywing van die toename in die gesofistikeerdheid van die hedendaagse seerowers. Die studie het ook klem op die feit gelê dat hedendaagse seerowery beide ’n streeks- asook ’n internasionale sekuriteits gevaar is. Dus het seerowery ’n breë en vêrreikende impak, en vereis internasionale en streeklikse samewerking om teenkamping te loods. Daar word ook bevind dat ’n versuiming om na interne probleme in Somalië en Suidoos-Asië kan dien as ’n versterking tot die seerowery verskynsel.

Full textThis study undertakes to look at the relationship between peace agreements and the violence that follows these agreements. Throughout modern history, there are examples of peace agreements between two warring internal factions that ended in post-conflict violence and in extreme cases, to the end of the peace agreement. It does not necessarily lead to full out war, but can manifest in riots, like Malaysia and criminal violence in South Africa. This study attempts to compare both South Africa and Malaysia by looking specifically at the reasons for post conflict violence. South Africa has faced a growing problem with violent crime after the negotiations of the early 1990’s and its result, the new constitution of 1993, that functioned as the peace agreement. Malaysia moved through several constitutions to arrive at their constitution of 1957 that which viewed as their constitutional agreement. This constitutional agreement went to great lengths to protect the sons of the soil, the bumiputra. The uneasy peace only lasted until 1969, when race riots followed the general elections and left hundreds dead or injured. By studying South Africa and Malaysia and looking at the underlying factors of violence, with special focus on ethnic factors and especially poverty, can we move closer to the underlying causes of post conflict violence. Malaysia tried to address these problems by making constitutional amendments, following the 1969 riots. These amendments were implemented in 1972. Since then the problem of post conflict violence has been addressed to some extent. There are however, still factors of violence that have not been completely eradicated, that might lead to a flaring of violence again one day. The question that this thesis tries to address in the end is, if we need to consider and implement constitutional amendments, like Malaysia, to address our growing problem of post conflict violence. I attempt here to answer this question, comparing the histories of South Africa and Malaysia and the underlying factors of violence to see exactly how similar these states are and if the same solution can work for both.

Full textUntil now corruption studies have been dominated by structuralism and Marxism, which define corruption as the 'abuse of public power' for private gain. This form of analysis is primarily concerned with the causal factors, that is, how public officials abuse law and public power to achieve a private gain in the form of bribery or kickbacks. While an analysis of abuse of public power is crucial in understanding how corruption is produced, the conventional analysis of corruption overlooks two important points. First, it does not view power as a contested concept and that there is no single version of power. Second, production of corruption is seen as proportional to the abuse of public power or breaking of law. In contrast, this thesis argues that corruption could crop up through the legitimate means of power. This form of power, which is conceptualised as a strategic form of power in Foucauldian literature is implicated in governmentality. The term corruption is used here in a broader sense than the conventional studies. It refers to activities that grossly violate the public gain objective of the government.
Foucault's concept of governmentality, which provides the theoretical framework of this study, signifies governance that is the ways a government govern things. It involves a combination of various institutions, authorities, knowledge, and expertise to problematise and address a situation of governance by constructing policies, plans and laws. Drawing on Foucault's concept of strategic power that identifies power as productive, ascending, intentional and non -subjective in relation to governmentality, this study shows that it is possible for a government to provide protection, security, financial benefits to some privileged private citizens by ignoring the public gain objective of the government.
Accordingly two cases of governmentality with reference to two particular legislations in Bangladesh known as the Indemnity Ordinance/ Act of 1975/1979 and the Father of Nation's Family Members Security Act of 2001 provide the empirical and discursive evidence of corruption for this study. Two Foucauldian methodologies, archaeology and genealogy, are used while genealogical analysis plays the prominent role.An analysis of governmentality demonstrates how strategic power has been used to construct laws for governing purpose in Bangladesh at least twice over the last twenty six years (1975-2001) implicating private gains for some citizens. From the evidences of the above two laws, this thesis shows that laws as governmentality in Bangladesh can also be seen as possible breeding grounds of corruption.
The study concludes that although the Indemnity Ordinance/Act 1975/1979 and the Father of Nation's Family Members Security Act 2001 do not show any bribery or kickbacks type of private gain, they do exhibit a subtle form of corruption within the legal boundaries of societies. That is, these two laws were constructed to achieve private gain for some private citizens of Bangladesh by undermining the vision of the Constitution of Bangladesh, which underscores and guarantees equity and social justice for all citizens of Bangladesh.

This article bases on portfolio theory to investigate the relationships of government bond markets among Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Australia and Thailand. As the 1997 Asia Financial Crisis, we separate research period into two parts to understand how it affects. The research periods used in this study are from September 1993 to September 2003. We use cointegration, VAR and VECM model, Granger causality test, impulse response and variance decomposition techniques to analyze, and obtain the results as following: First, there are long cointegration trends among the five Asia-Pacific markets after 1997 Financial Crisis. Second, VAR and VECM reveal that Japan occupied the leader position in Asia-Pacific region before Financial Crisis while there is one-way effect from Japan to Taiwan after Crisis. There are short-term interactions between Japan and Australia, Korea and Thailand as well. Third, the result of Granger causality test shows that the lead-lag relationships among five countries after Financial Crisis become significantly stronger than before. Fourth, the effects of impulse response among four markets only show temporary effect before crisis, but then gradually persistent and increase after crisis. The accumulative effects of each market are almost positive. Finally, analysis of variance decomposition detects that Japan has greatest interpretative ability in Asia-Pacific region before Financial Crisis but the interpretative abilities among each bond markets become stronger after crisis. This implies that the occurrence of Asia Financial Crisis makes the relationships among Asia-Pacific government bond markets become closer.

Even thought economic and trade cooperation makes the world peace superficially, but the current international situation is not completely calm. Especially in the Asia-Pacific region, it is an important strategic position and the most important economic markets for our country. But types of threats occurr frequently, the regional conflict is imminent. Even governments considerate the coordination concept of the common defense policy, but defense forces play a major role in every national security and is the cornerstone of economic development. In recent years, defense budget of our country is facing difficulties. Therefore, it is still important to understand the factors influencing the defense budget. In the past, the research on defense budget mainly focused on the exploration of external environment factors, and lack of Government Governance. However, the structure of government governance influences the allocation of government budget. This study discusses the impact of Government Governance on defense budget by using Panel Regression Analysis. The sample covers 16 countries in the Asia-Pacific region for the period 2002 to 2015. The results show that "Voice and Accountability ", " Regulatory Quality " and " Control of Corruption " have a significant positive impact on defense budgets, but " Political Stability " and "Government Effectiveness " has a significant negative impact. This study not only provide a new insight for the relevant authorities, as a reference for the implementation of the policy, but also rich the insufficiency of quantitative research in the literature. And through the comparative analysis with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, it put forward the proposal to our country to break through the difficulties for defense budget applation.

This paper examines the relationship between economic growth and government expenditure using panel data of 16 countries in Asia Pacific Region. The 16 countries are classified as “Developing Countries” group and “Developed Countries” group according to the Human Development Index over the 1970 to 2007 period. The variables in the models include real GDP and real total government expenditure. Panel unit root tests, panel cointegration tests, panel vector autoregression (PVAR) / panel error correction model (PECM) models, and Granger causality test are adopted in this study. The result of PVAR and Granger causality indicates that the relationship between economic growth and government expenditure is different for the developed countries and developing countries. For the “Developed Countries” group, there is a bi-directional relationship between real GDP and the government expenditure, the government expenditure has a positive effect on real GDP, but the real GDP with different lags have different effects to government expenditure in both positive and negative ways. However, for the “Developing Countries” group, there is a uni-directional relationship, real GDP has a positive effect on government expenditure. In fact, for the developed group a decline in the government expenditure with increased economic development in observed.
