Maritime Security ≠ Maritime CT Maritime Security: piracy, terrorism, jurisdictional/terroritorial issues, trafficking, poaching, marine environmental protection, etc. Policy ‘position’ varies across nations…

Politics, Economics and Maritime security IndonesiaMalaysiaSingaporeThailandPhilippines Devolution of central power; economic instability; Territorial threats (separatist); Terrorism Political balance; rels. with Thailand; territorial; Sovereignty; illegal immigration, environmental Politico-eco. Stability; WMD Transship- ment; geographical exposure Pattani (Insurgency, South); human trafficking; Transshipment Politico-eco. crisis; Growth of Communist movement; Mindanao; Piracy US/PRC /India /Japan rels. Archipelago, longest coastline; littoral; 1.8 mil km2 LittoralSmallest, littoral *700km2 Archipelago, #2 longest c. Needs fleet modernization most No. 2 most sophisticated Most sophisticated naval infrast. Also weakest naval capabilities

Other considerations: –Organization/infrastructure –Intra-ASEAN relations Territorial disputes: Indonesia-Malaysia; Malaysia-Thailand; Singapore-Malaysia; Philippines-Malaysia-Vietnam-PRC- Brunei in Spratleys Changing face of Asia’s drug trade –Commitment to Maritime security initiatives, schemes: CSI, PSI, International Ship & Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, Intl.

More considerations –How much of ‘at-sea’ concerns are land- based? (resource allocation implications) –How intense are intra-government rivalries? (resources, leadership role, etc.) –Political & economic role of local Chinese communities? –Nature of G2B, B2B coordination & participation

Littoral or user state? –Energy / oil flow –Economic –Counter-terrorism –Geo-strategic considerations

Technological issues: –Disparity/Diversity –Developing maritime capability of TN actors (traffickers, terrorists, etc. + tactical alliances) –Interoperability & naval modernization Singapore – submarines (Sweden) Indonesia – vessels (Dutch), Subs (South Korea) Thailand – aircraft (Indonesia) Philippines – surveillance aircraft, vessels (US) Myanmar, Vietnam, Brunei - ???
