Parution Irasec: Russia's Quiet Partnerships in Southeast Asia - Russia-Malaysia Strategic Partnership through Sabah Case Study
William Kucera and Eva Pejsova
Notes de l' IRASEC-Discussion Papers n°13, avril 2012, 20 p.
Russia's interest in Asia has been on the rise. Since the 2000s, under presidents Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev, the country has embraced an "Asian" or "Eastern" foreign policy focused on strengthening diplomatic and economic ties with East and Southeast Asia. Considering the shift of the global economic and strategic balance eastwards, a traditionally Europe-oriented Russia has begun to realize its Asian dimension and potential.
The main driver of this new strategic orientation has been economic development, followed by an effort to keep an eye on its biggest regional neighbour China and to assert its position as a note-worthy power in the Asia- Pacific. Over the past decade, we could observe a proliferation of relations between Russia and Southeast Asia on both multilateral and bilateral levels, from economic and people-to people cooperation, to the most sensitive areas of defence and security contacts. The interest is reciprocal.Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members have been seeking to create an inclusive regional architecture that avoids as much as possible the tensions and divisiveness that
accompany the rise of China and the relative decline of the US hegemon. Malaysia has encouraged a greater diversity of actors on the regional security scene in order to broaden its strategic
hinterland and counterbalance the dominant influence of the United States.
