초록
The purpose of my study is to address the question of where the discrepancies in the alliance policies of the weaker countries emerge in the context of great power competition. Existing theory indicates that the weaker states' autonomous foreign policies are constrained by the distribution of power in international politics. There is also a view that the domestic political structure and ideology are also significant. This paper examines the divergent diplomatic and security policies of Indonesia and Thailand during the early 1950s. Both countries needed foreign economic help and faced security difficulties, but Indonesia adopted a non-aligned attitude rather than forming an alliance with the United States. Thailand, on the other hand, continued to cooperate with the US despite domestic political debate. This research demonstrates that these discrepancies are a result of the two countries' domestic political power structures and ideology.
Abstract
The purpose of my study is to address the question of where the discrepancies in the alliance policies of the weaker countries emerge in the context of great power competition. Existing theory indicates that the weaker states' autonomous foreign policies are constrained by the distribution of power in international politics. There is also a view that the domestic political structure and ideology are also significant. This paper examines the divergent diplomatic and security policies of Indonesia and Thailand during the early 1950s. Both countries needed foreign economic help and faced security difficulties, but Indonesia adopted a non-aligned attitude rather than forming an alliance with the United States. Thailand, on the other hand, continued to cooperate with the US despite domestic political debate. This research demonstrates that these discrepancies are a result of the two countries' domestic political power structures and ideology.
