Evelyn Goh’s paper on Hierarchical order in South East Asia aims to explain the surprising peace and mutual co-operation which grew out of South East Asia following the post-Cold-War period. Her main argument is that it is the South East Asian states themselves which created this peace and co-operation through two broad ‘pathways’: Omni-enmeshment on a regional and inter-state level and the creation of a ‘complex balance of influence.’ My main criticism with her argument is that the current order in South East Asia has yet to be challenged by a substantial security crisis, leaving us questioning just how robust these pathways are. I also reference to John Mearsheimer’s paper on the ‘false promise of international institutions’ to provide further criticisms. Regardless, I found her analysis on how smaller states can create the regional framework for peace compelling – it runs counter to the two major streams of IR thought (re alism and liberalism) while explaining what they could not predict: peace in South East Asia.

By enmeshment, Goh means ‘the process of engaging with a state so as to draw it into deep involvement into international or regional society, enveloping it in a web of sustained exchanges and relationships with the long-term aim of integration.’ In layman’s terms, Goh is not talking simply about two states agreeing to co-operate on economicShow MoreRelatedLibrary Management204752 Words   |  820 Pages . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

But it will be on the exam. At AlliedSignal, Bossidy was one of the ï ¬ rst big-company CEOs to experiment with the then-newfangled notion of process management: the idea that horizontal processes (such as the sequence of steps from accepting an order t o fulï ¬ lling it) could be managed just as functions are and, indeed, that companies might even be managed along process lines.
