Moving US-ASEAN Security Relations to a New Level?

Mary Fides Quintos and Joycee Teodoro, both Foreign Affairs Research Specialists at the Philippines Foreign Service Institute, explain that “The message is that the United States views ASEAN as a central and strategic player, not only in the US rebalance to Asia but more importantly in the building of a strong and credible regional security architecture for the Asia-Pacific.”

'Shipwreck ceramics and the fall of Melaka' was the title of a 2007 lecture to the Southeast Asian Ceramic Society by the late Dr Roxanna Brown. In a sweeping overview, Roxanna explained how the shipwreck discoveries of recent decades have cast new light on aspects of Asian history. She then described the evidence for a significant decline in the size of ships and the quality of cargoes in the early sixteenth century, explaining how this is consistent with the historical account of a collapse in Southeast Asian trade for several years after the capture of Melaka by the Portuguese in 1511. This resulted from the loss of big ships during the 1512 counterattack.
