Bring this analysis down to people-centered development perspective and looking through democratization in the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia, we find similarities and differences among them related with the intensity of conflicts between development and human rights in the process of democratization in line with global transformation. Civil society in the Philippines criticized the developmental path in the Philippines which failed to implement land reform and eradication of poverty under the transition from 'patrimonial oligarchy' to democracy. In Thailand the coalition of military and the royalists had consolidated its power since Sarit military regime, which later paved the way 'hybrid oligarchy' era. Most Thai civil society organizations has regarded their developmental experience rather as 'maldevelopment' which disregarded economic and social rights. It has been especially believed by Thai localists that the stimulation of local markets and the building of autonomic community society will form the alternative economy without going against the conservative banner of nation, religion and king. Thaksin as a populist successfully took advantage of Thai localist ethos in favour of taking the seat of power. He projected himself as a modernizer focused on economic growth and cleaner politics. However Thaksin's procedural legitimacy was overthrown by counterattacking from military-royalist alliance, pretexting that Thaksin caused internal conflicts and lacked morality. Soeharto's New Order regime which can be called 'administrative oligarchy' had an antipathy towards notions of economic and social rights as well as civil and political rights. In spite of the fact that the fall of Soeharto opened the political space for democratic civil society organizations which had long struggled with development aggression and human rights abuses, there have been continuously a strong political and military reaction against human rights activists, NGOs and ethnic minorities such as Aceh and Papua. Nevertheless, Indonesian democracy is more promising than Philippine's and Thai democracy in terms of comparatively less pre-modern legacies.

Just how does one make sense of the genocide perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge during its rule in the 70's and the numerous human rights violations in the Philippines during the Marcos period? Like the conflicts that have marked human history at the close of the 20th century, Southeast Asia is no exception, similar to the many attempts to come to terms with the past and put to account wrongdoers worldwide. The paper is an attempt to historicize these two seemingly unrelated events and analyze them from the synoptic frameworks of transitional justice and reparations. Similar to the experiences faced by many societies transitioning towards democratic rule, notably in Latin America, the dilemma of whether to pursue justice or preserve the peace and the newfound status quo has characterized the length at which justice had eluded the victims in Cambodia and the Philippines. Yet, no matter what the limits are in pursuing accountability, or these so called historical injustices, closure is still achievable. The paper would like to argue that closure is possible when one, all or a combination of the following, depending on the gravity of the crime, is present-truth-telling, prosecution for the crimes committed, and a grant of compensation.

This study is to seek alternatives for regional governance related to transnational labor migration issues in Southeast Asia. This study examined the present situation and trends of labor migration in the region, reviewed involved transnational issues, and identified the current issues of governance to seek alternatives for regional governance. The increase in cross-border labor migration is no doubt a sign of growth and dynamism of the region and greater integration of their economies. But it also poses complex policy and management issues as well as transnational issues over such as unequal economic profits, illegal migration, human rights, and social security issues. In this reality, regional governance is a very important theme and the efforts to manage their migration inherently involve fundamental conflict and tension between related countries and regions. However, politics and governance of transnational migrant workers in Southeast Asia are still pursued at the national level. To resolve these issues, it is urgently required to secure not only collaboration between the parties concerned but also governance at the regional level. Findings of this study are: First, although labor migration has been a relatively long-time transnational issue, the history of addressing the issue at the regional governance is very short and still inceptive. Second, given its size, labor migration in Southeast Asia requires effective regional governance but no breakthrough was possible due to the conflict of interests between origin and destination countries and the conflict of logic between the labor market and the state. Third, the issue of labor migration is an important element for the formation of economic and socio-cultural communities the ASEAN countries have pursued. Fourth, it is urgently needed to seek alternatives for good and effective regional governance as a key to resolving these issues over migrant workers in Southeast Asia.

Southeast Asia accounts for nearly a tenth of total worldwide cross-border movements of migrant workers. Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, and Philippines make up the sending countries while Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand are the major destinations. Migrant worker movements are predominantly in production process and low- to medium-skilled sectors. It is not unusual for irregular or undocumented movements to take place. In not a few instances, migrants work under harsh and exploitative conditions. In recent years, however, ASEAN has taken steps to manage labor migration at the regional level. The paper argues that ASEAN has not managed these cross-border labor flows as well as it should particularly in terms of protecting and promoting the human rights of migrants. It will be difficult to establish the genuine building blocks for a regional human rights mechanism unless there is a diffusion of alternative universal norms and standards to what ASEAN already embodies. As long as states resist any attempt to weaken or question or deligitimize their capacity to determine who gets to enter, stay, and leave their jurisdictions, it will be difficult to establish an effective migrant rights framework for the region.

동남아시아 국가들은 중국과의 지리적 인접성으로 인해 G-2 역학관계에 주의 깊게 대응하면서 각자의 국가이익을 위해 외교의 묘수(art of diplomacy)를 찾고 있다. 캄보디아는 친중 헤징 전략으로 G-2 체제에 대응해 오고 있다. 본 연구는 냉전종식 이후 친미 성향을 보였던 훈센의 정책이 친중으로 전환하게 된 이유를 G-2 체제의 부상, 아세안 지역주의, 국가이익, 훈센의 통치기반과 체제정당성 차원에서 분석해 본다. 이론적으로 본 연구는 현실구성주의 시각에서 힘의 정치와 규범적 요인들이 훈센의 정치적 입지와 대외정책에 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는가를 살펴본다. 중국과 캄보디아는 경제 상호의존성과 중국의 힘의 상승이라는 현실주의 요인과 규범적 차원에서 양국의 이해관계가 수렴되면서 관계가 긴밀해져왔다. 더구나 중국의 막대한 경제원조와 투자는 훈센의 통치기반과 체제정당성을 강화시키고 있다. 반면에 민주주의와 인권을 앞세운 미국의 가치외교는 훈센의 권력기반에 위협적인 존재가 되면서 양국은 긴장과 갈등의 관계를 가져오고 있다. 하지만 훈센의 친중전략은 미국의 가치외교에 대해 전략적으로 대응하면서 중국으로부터 경제이익을 극대화하려는 헤징전략으로 동남아시아에서 중국의 헤게모니를 인정하고 중국의 지배를 인정하는 미국에 대한 균형전략은 아니다. 아세안의 경우 강대국들의 힘의 정치의 충격을 완화시키는 역할을 하고 있으나, 미중간의 이해관계가 첨예하게 엇갈리고 있어 캄보디아는 국익에 따라 아세안의 조정역할 보다는 양자관계로 G-2 체제에 대응하고 있다.

2017년 창설 50주년을 맞은 아세안(ASEAN)은 제도적 보완과 기능적 협력을 강화하기 위해 일련의 선언과 행동 계획을 채택했다. 아세안의 '회합력'(convening power)이 아세안 중심성(centrality)과 회복력(resilience)을 촉진하고 있다. 반면 아세안 회원국의 민주주의 후퇴는 전통적 규범의 한계를 심화시키고 아세안의 이행력을 저하시킨다. 이 글은 아세안 주요 쟁점을 고찰하고 전망을 도출하고자 한다. 첫째, 아세안의 제도적 발전과 기능적 협력의 현황을 아세안 공동체 건설의 현황과 쟁점을 중심으로 살피고자 한다. 둘째, 아세안의 대외 관계를 중국, 미국, 한국과의 관계를 중심으로 살피고자 한다. 남중국해 이슈 및 중국의 경제적 영향력 확대는 아세안-중국관계의 복잡성을 심화시키고 있다. 트럼프 행정부의 대 동남아 정책 변화에 대응하기 위해서는 아세안의 단결이 필요하다. 한국의 신남방정책은 여러 제약에도 불구하고 양자 관계에 있어 전환점이 될 것으로 기대된다. 대외 환경의 변화 속에 아세안 단결과 중심성의 강화가 더욱 절실해지고 있다.

In the rapidly changing current society, the Korean National Police(KNP) is facing a lot of demands from the citizens like the protection of subject/victim rights, independence of investigation authority, disclosure of actual truth, and prevention & eradication of crimes. It is widely recognized among the Korean people and the police that the KNP is always standing for the rights of the people and it is high time that the KNP should be restored as the pioneer for the protection of human right. In this situation, the tremendous emphasis is given on the importance of investment in investigative training through the long-term master-plan in order to renovate its constitution, to level up its quality, and to cope with the highly sophisticated crime patterns. Korean police have already shown its outstanding investigative skills of identification of the deceased throughout large cases like Daegu subway arson and tsunami in Southeast Asia. In addition, the skills of cyber crime investigation are highly recognized by foreign law enforcement agencies. However, the investigative skills and abilities are being degraded and the morale of the investigative personnel are falling due to the insufficiently of the finite training budget. Lack of financial support results in the lack of training program and poor training environment, which subsequently leads to the inefficiency of training. Additionally, no long-term budget for fostering specialized investigative agents is allotted. Considering the fact that more than 95% of crimes in Korea are being primarily investigated by the Korean police, we have to understand the importance of the police. By the tremendous investment in investigative training which can lead to the high-quality investigations, the Korean police can ultimately contribute to the protection of safety and life of its people.

2017년에 들어와 타이 대중들은 쁘라윳이 이끄는 군사정부에 등을 돌렸다. 군사정부가 약속했던 민주주의의 회복, 국민화해, 부패척결, 경제성장과 같은 공약이 지켜지지 않았기 때문이다. 그럼에도 2017년에 들어와 쁘라윳 군사정부는 국제적으로 위신을 회복하기 시작했다. 특히 2014년 쿠테타를 강력하게 비난하면서 민정 이양 압박 차원에서 외교적 제재를 가했던 미국과의 관계개선이 이루어졌다. 쁘라윳 총리의 미국 방문과 트럼프 대통령과의 우호적 회담이야말로 큰 성과였다. 유럽연합(EU) 역시 타이와의 관계회복을 공식화했다. 물론 이러한 긍정적 신호는 서방국가들이 2017년 와치라롱껀 국왕의 신헌법 승인과 반포에 따른 헌정체제 회복에 의미를 두었기 때문이다. 10월 말에 있었던 푸미폰 국왕 장례식에 미국 등 전세계에서 조문사절단을 보냄에 따라 장례절차를 관장한 쁘라윳 총리로서는 엄청난 외교적 소득을 얻었다. 그러나 쁘라윳 총리는 2017년에도 임시헌법 44조에 의거해 절대권력을 행사했다. 개혁을 위해 이 절대권력을 행사할 것이라는 군사평의회 국가평화질서위원회(NCPO)의 주장에도 불구하고, 국내외 인권단체들은 무소불위의 이 법이 국민들의 인권을 제약하고 책임성이 결여되어 있다고 비판했다. 여기에다가 오랜 역사를 갖는 국왕모독죄가 현 군사정부 하에서 정치적 행동을 제약하는데 적극적으로 활용되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 쁘라윳 총리는 극히 보수적 개념인 '타이다움'에 근거한 '타이식 민주주의'를 지속적으로 옹호하였다. 이때의 '타이식 민주주의'란 대중의 의사에 기반하는 민정(民政)보다는 '좋은 사람'(콘디)으로 얘기되는 영웅이 이끄는 훈정(憲政)이다. 이 점에서 쁘라윳 군사정부를 '싸릿모델'의 부활로 볼 수 있다. 그러나 쁘라윳 군사정부가 2017년에 내건 4차산업혁명으로의 진입을 준비하는 '타이 4.0' 프로젝트가 개인의 자율성을 억압하는 부활한 '싸릿모델' 하에서 과연 성공을 거둘 수 있을지 귀추가 주목된다.
