L.M. Efimova in her article marks that the total number of worldwide reported attacks dropped in 2005 to 276 compared to 329 in 2004. The drop is believed to be attributed to the increased awareness and anti piracy watches in risk prone areas, increase in law enforcement patrols and international pressure on some governments to act. Nevertheless Southeast Asia and especially Indonesia continued to record the highest number of attacks with 79 reported incidents. Though this is a drop from 94 attacks in 2004, Indonesia still accounts for nearly 30% of the worldwide incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships. The 2005 figures show a drop in the number of attacks in Malacca Straits, Malaysia and Thailand. Though the attack numbers have dropped, the international Maritime Bureau stress that many actual and attempted cases also go unreported. And as seen in the past, any let-up would see attacks quickly resume.

M.Kouritsyn asserts that contrary to their expectations in 2005 SEA countries could not take advantage of China's investment boom is full. It was caused by two main reasons: 1) SEA courtiers proved to be noncompetitive as investors on the very complicated and intricate Chinese market, and 2) they could not use the long-expected special investment regime declared by both China and ASEAN. Beginning July 20, 2005 the China-ASEAN FTA Framework Agreement took in force, but investment regime liberalization was still negotiated by partners. The author pays attention to primordial low investment profile of SEA companies in China: in 2005 among all foreign enterprises investing in the PRC their share was 4,7% only, in Chinese government approved FDI - 4?6%, as well as in realized FDI - just 4,1%. Even Singaporean investors, the most successful of all SEA's ones, experience some difficulties in China due to mounting tension from the competitors - mainly Taiwanese and Western companies.

Dr. VladimirVasiliev in his article Tension in the ASEAN and around over Myanmar question and Myanmar's efforts to find new world partners describes Myanmar's present external and internal difficulties (non-admission to chairing the 2006 ASEAN meeting, economic and other sanctions imposed by the US and EU and constant criticism leveled by the West and some ASEAN countries over Myanmar delay with promised democratic reforms). This seems to have greatly fatigued Myanmar's ruling junta and it has decided to make certain changes in its foreign policy accents toward enlargement and differentiation of its international partners. As a result Myanmar established closer ties with India, renewed its broad cooperation with Russia, reestablished diplomatic relations with North Korea (in addition to long-time close ties with China). The author believes that the Myanmar junta, making these rearrangements, hopes to raise its poor international image and standing, improve and diversify economically and to rearm as far as possible.

Dr. Alexey Drugov in his paper Indonesia in 2005: Problems and Challenges states certain results of S.B.Yudhoyono's government in achieving political stabilization, in lessening ethnic tension. But the former problems remain, namely - a narrow basis of the President's own support in the parliament, fragmentary character of the political elite. Under these conditions two processes are under way: the gradual Islamization of the society on the one side and the growing sentiments in favor of greater role of the army, - on the other. The author underlines that in international relations contradictions are growing between Indonesia and the USA with President S. B. Yudhoyono attempting to diversify foreign political ties. It is also stressed that such destabilizing factor as territorial disputes of Indonesia with its neighbors still persists.

Dr. V.Mazyrin makes the first attempt in national oriental studies to analyze the fundamental civil freedoms' variability in Vietnam with the aim to reveal core changes in domestic political system during 2004-2005. This scholarship is based on huge historical background and reliable sources of information, i.e. variors western researches, international non-government organizations (NGOs), Vietnamese officials and mass media. Summing up his review, the author concludes, that core civil freedoms in Vietnam are still very limited, while the state keeps its authoritative nature in many respects. At the same time there are signs of gradual progress in this domain: Vietnam countries its transition towards liberal parliamentary republic with mono party system. The deepening of market reforms has created preconditions for the emergence of human rights, simultaneously having strengthened social and national inequality. It is argued, that Vietnamese population, being satisfied primarily with economic freedom, bears such political regime quietly due to the lack of democratic mentality and legal consciousness. The country's leadership successfully governs society, ignoring the ideas of personal freedom and democracy, basing state management on paternalist traditions and norms of rural community.
