| Popis: | 102 Golden Triangle is one of the most important illegal drugs production areas in the world. It produces opium, heroin and amphetamine etc. As the increasing of addiction population and expansion of HIV infected China and South East Asia, it threats the security of the region greatly. In 1990 era, China and ASEAN began to engage in the relationship of anti-drugs cooperation. As to the issues of cooperation between the national states, the international relations theory has different perspectives. This thesis uses the neoliberal institutionalism perspective to analyze the cooperation of anti-drugs between China and ASEAN states in the frame of three levels: ACCORD, the cooperation of Greater Mekong Sub-region and the cooperation of bilateral relationship. The three cooperation mechanisms mostly possess the contents of international regime which the neoliberal institutionalism had defined. The cooperation’s of China and ASEAN states were reformed based on absolute gains, and the function of regime could promotes the sustainability of cooperation. Meanwhile, China provided the public goods for the cooperative countries. It facilitates the cooperation of attack against the drugs crimes, although it can''t assert China plays the Hegemony in the case. The thesis examined the effects of cooperation in four indicators: the cultivation of opium, the seizures of drugs, the cases of law enforcement and alternative development. All of the indicators reveal some certain effects of the cooperation. However, the damages of economic performance and livelihoods that the opium ban brings, the varied magnitude of inputs of cooperative countries, the rising price of opium in international market and the conflict inside the Myanmar have made the opium cultivation and production began to revive. Meanwhile, the cooperation regimes lack the mechanism of punishment. Without the combination, many challenges in anti-drugs cooperation between China and ASEAN states remain. The development of cooperation would be difficultly in the future. |
