"Kondisi konstelasi global di bawah ancaman unilateralisme Amerika Serikat dan sekutunya telah menciptakan suatu "Orde global baru" yang mengedepankan perang melawan terorisme. Situasi ini sayangnya mendorong kondisi perdamaian dunia kearah yang lebih buruk dan rentan akan eskalasi konflik yang beranjak menjadi sebuah perang terbuka. Bagi ASEM , pada usianya yang kesepuluh, kondisi saat ini menuntut suatu perbaikan, baik secara internal maupun dalam hal peranannya untuk menciptakan dan mempertahankan perdamaian dunia, meskipun disadari bahwa ASEM tidak memiliki banyak pilihan amunisi untuk itu."

"The article analyses representations of the natural world in Indonesia and mainland Southeast Asia in a corpus of Polish and Serbian travel writings for the period between the opening of the Suez Canal (1869) and the outbreak of the First World War (1914). The research is based on travel writings by twenty Polish and Serbian authors, who visited Southeast Asia during the period 1869-1914. Scrutinizing a corpus of such narratives should contribute to the study of perceptions of Southeast Asia, especially among travellers from very diverse backgrounds. The theoretical and conceptual framework of the article draws on works by other scholars who have analysed travel writings, imaginative geography, representations of Southeast Asia, and tropicality. The study focuses on four areas: 1) images of the luxuriant tropics, 2) images of the perilous tropics, 3) exploitation of its natural resources, and 4) nature and identity."

"Why have some former enemy countries established durable peace while others remain mired in animosity? When and how does historical memory matter in post-conflict interstate relations? Focusing on two case studies, Yinan He argues that the key to interstate reconciliation is the harmonization of national memories. Conversely, memory divergence resulting from national mythmaking harms long-term prospects for reconciliation. After WWII, Sino-Japanese and West German-Polish relations were both antagonized by the Cold War structure, and pernicious myths prevailed in national collective memory. In the 1970s, China and Japan brushed aside historical legacy for immediate diplomatic normalization. But the progress of reconciliation was soon impeded from the 1980s by elite mythmaking practices that stressed historical animosities. Conversely, from the 1970s West Germany and Poland began to de-mythify war history and narrowed their memory gap through restitution measures and textbook cooperation, paving the way for significant progress toward reconciliation after the Cold War."
