The EU, China, and nontraditional security : prospects for Cooperation in the Mediterranean region
No full textThe Mediterranean is not just a sea of opportunities but also a testing ground for EU-China relations. Recent developments in the Chinese military doctrine have thus created a doctrinal common ground between China and the EU. On the one hand, promising opportunities are there for security cooperation between Brussels and Beijing, which may positively contribute to EU-Chinese relations at large. On the other hand, if these opportunities are to be seized, it is imperative that the EU spares no effort in behaving more cohesively and coherently. The implementation of a coherent Mediterranean policy would present the EU to China as a reliable partner, something China is desperately looking for as a solution to the strategic problem of how to protect its growing interests in the region without an organized military presence. This would open the way for security cooperation between the two actors to the benefit of both their own interests in the Mediterranean and regional stability as well

No full textRegime change and foreign policy adjustments have been closely intertwined in Myanmar’s recent experience. Since 2011, domestic political transition has been paralleled by changes in the country’s foreign policy posture, with Naypyitaw reconsidering its dependence on Beijing while seeking rapprochement with Washington. Taking Myanmar as a case study, this essay aims to address the theoretical issue of how regime change influences the foreign policy of a country. The first two sections draw on Foreign Policy Analysis and Comparative Politics to develop an analytical framework for the study of foreign policy choices during regime change. The focus is on how transitional politics interacts with external influence, against the background of loosened distinctions between the domestic and international levels. The last two sections test the analytical framework against the ups and downs of Myanmar’s economic cooperation with China. Two decisions of the Myanmar government are analysed: the 2011 decision to suspend cooperation on the Myitsone dam, and the 2012 decision to continue cooperation on the Letpadaung mine. While apparently contradictory, Naypyitaw’s behaviour on these two occasions helps to unravel the dilemmas that foreign policy decision-makers face at times of political transition
