This text aims to give an overview of existing biennials in Southeast Asia. By adopting a national perspective, it describes the genesis, the continuation (or not) and the programmatic character of regional biennials. The text proposes that the idea of perennial exhibition can be traced to the 1970s, when the ASEAN started to promote regional events, in an attempt to create unicity through culture. As this project lost vitality, it was substituted for biennials in Southeast Asia and in the Asia-Pacific region. According to the reasons behind their genesis, some biennials that were established in Southeast Asia follow the biennale model while others follow the model of resistance biennales. This shows variety and regional independence toward the global world.

Australia has traditionally adopted a Eurocentric outlook which has begun to be modified in the last decade by reappraisal of the country’s location in the Asia-Pacific region. The Australian National Gallery has only recently developed its collections of the textiles of South and Southeastern Asia and of related research materials, yet it already accommodates the world’s leading public collection of Indian textiles exported to Southeast Asia. Acquisition of both contemporary and antiquarian library materials has been complicated by the range of languages and cultures involved, the history of the textile trade, colonial publishing, and the problems encountered in dealing with a varying degree of organisation in local publishing and distribution. Nonetheless, with patience, as a result of travelling, by means of networking, and with the help of distributors, it has proved possible to build a worthwhile collection without depending too exclusively on Western publications.

Terusan Kra merupakan kanal yang telah direncanakan pembangunannya oleh Thailand sejak abad ke-17. Dengan dibangunnya terusan Kra yang dimungkinkan berhasil memberi efisiensi terhadap penyingkatan waktu pelayaran di daerah Asia Pasifik tentu akan memberi dampak kerugian yang signifikan pada terusan Malaka yang telah terlebih dahulu dibuat. Dampak pembangunan tersebut akan mempengaruhi perubahan jalur pelayaran serta merubah peta perekonomian Asia Tenggara secara makro. Tujuan dari tulisan ini ada untuk mengetahui dampak dan perubahan signifikan terhadap pembangunan terusan Kra di masa depan. Metode yang digunakan merupakan pendekatan yuridis normatif yang menggunakan data sekunder melalui penelitian kepustakaan dan studi dokumen. Adanya terusan Kra akan merubah neraca ekspor dan impor secara signifikan serta akan memberikan perubahan besar ke beberapa negara-negara di Asia Pasifik. Hingga saat ini mulai banyak negara-negara di Asia Tenggara yang mulai merencanakan dan membangun kawasan pantainya agar dapat bersaing saat nantinya Terusan Kra dibuka. The Kra Canal is a canal that Thailand has planned to build since the 17th century. With the construction of the Kra canal, which is possible to provide efficiency in reducing shipping time in the Asia Pacific region, it will certainly have a significant impact on the Malacca canal that was previously built. This development impact will affect changes in shipping lanes and change the economic map of Southeast Asia at a macro level. The purpose of this paper is to determine the impact and significant changes to the development of the Kra canal in the future. The method used is a normative juridical approach that uses secondary data through library research and document study. The existence of the Kra canal will change the export and import balance significantly and will provide big changes for several countries in Asia Pacific. Until now, many countries in Southeast Asia have started planning and building their coastal areas so that they can compete when the Kra Canal opens.

In the recent decades despite the existing broad network of the multilateral security formats in the Asia-Pacific region a high level of conflicts and old disputes remain, while non-military security challenges and threats are becoming more complicated. Among the most well-known are the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) and the East Asian Summit (EAS). Nevertheless, given the increasing destabilization in the region, one can state that the above-mentioned formats proved ineffective and as a result, new solutions need to be found. One of such possible solutions is an initiative proposed by Vietnam to create a new format known as ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (ADMM+).

The Asia-Pacific region is becoming one of the key centers of confrontation between the US and China. By seeking to use individual members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to achieve a strategic advantage, Washington and Beijing are undermining the subjectivity of ASEAN and threatening the very existence of the most successful integration community outside of Europe.
