Based on interviews and documentary analysis, it finds that EPR is widely framed as a vehicle for CE principles, but narratives diverge in scope and emphasis across the two cases. These differences reflect variation in institutional capacity, stakeholder influence, and the role of informal actors. The findings point to the need for a more holistic and inclusive approach to EPR, grounded in proactive policymaking and stronger attention to social equity.

Using a discursively reconfigured Multiple Streams Framework (MSF), this analysis draws insights from Thailand's Marriage Equality Law, as well as the stalled SOGIESC Equality Bill in the Philippines. Findings reveal that Thailand's agenda progressed due to a suspected permissive ideological condition that favors technocratic framing, resulting in minimal public backlash. In contrast, Philippine legislation is hindered by a religiously charged moral discourse, preventing the streams from achieving “coupling”. These distinct backdrops shape policy receptivity, underscoring the need for policy analyses to account for the ideological conditions within which agendas unfold. Thus, the review suggests recalibrating rights-based language in the Philippines to culturally resonant frames and further deepening Thailand's inclusion agenda beyond legal formalism. Most importantly, agenda success hinges on flexible, context-aware framing that resonates with domestic conditions and realities.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":44747,"journal":{"name":"Asian Politics & Policy","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147683162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, Malaysia holds intrinsic value for China. Second, the ECRL's status as a key project in China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) lends it wider geopolitical significance. Third, the purpose of the ECRL as an alternative trade route creates a significant ongoing economic imperative for China to see the project concluded successfully.

This study argues that there is a shift from traditional bandwagoning with India to hedging between India and China. By leveraging Chinese economic investments and India's strategic ties, such states pursue strategic autonomy, maximizing economic benefits while minimizing dependency.

This approach challenges the conventional dichotomy that frames SOEs as either profit-driven firms or mere extensions of the state, offering a more nuanced explanation of how SOEs contribute to China's grand strategic aims—especially in the Xi Jinping era. It shifts the unit of analysis from individual, public-facing SOEs to the corporate group level, where Party oversight, cadre management, and strategic integration are more visible. Through case studies of two central SOEs—China COSCO Shipping Corporation and the State Grid Corporation of China—the article demonstrates how the CCP translates broad political goals into coordinated global economic activity.

This article examines how the United States and Japan, both reliant on Chinese rare earth elements (REE), respond differently to China's dominance in this sector. We argue that variation in state responses stems from differences in securitization and state–private sector interaction. The United States pursues a relatively hard neo-mercantilist strategy, characterized by nationalizing supply chains and treating REE access as a security imperative. In contrast, Japan adopts a soft neo-mercantilist approach, relying on public–private coordination and market-based diversification. We reconceptualize resource security by introducing a typology of neo-mercantilist strategies and show how institutional configurations mediate states' responses to coercive economic dependencies.
