Specifically, what motivates their selection of targeting regions? How do inland provinces win domestic competition to gain central policy support? And how do they serve the central government's goals while achieving their local interests? This article uses local government-company collaboration to explain the participation of inland local governments in international economic cooperation. It argues that some inland local governments collaborate with local companies to secure central frameworks and become new “bridgeheads.” Besides, by leveraging local companies, inland local governments can also achieve their local economic interests while serving central objectives. This article uses the case of Hunan's Africa strategy initiated around 2015 to provide evidence. It aims to broaden our understanding of how Chinese local governments participate in international economic cooperation.</p>","PeriodicalId":44747,"journal":{"name":"Asian Politics & Policy","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/aspp.70051","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145272146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a qualitative case study and comparative policy analysis, the research assesses legal frameworks, digital systems, and enforcement mechanisms across four ASEAN countries: Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, and the Lao PDR. Malaysia's adoption of the ePermit STA system and the Strategic Items List 2025 underscores its commitment to safeguarding national security and strengthening compliance. The analysis reveals disparities in permit classification, end-user verification, and the capacity of small- and medium-sized enterprises. Challenges such as institutional fragmentation, digital infrastructure gaps, and geopolitical pressures continue to hinder regional coherence. The findings support the need for harmonized control lists, interoperable digital platforms, and enhanced regional coordination. While grounded in Malaysia's experience, the study offers policy-relevant insights that are transferable across ASEAN's strategic trade landscape.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":44747,"journal":{"name":"Asian Politics & Policy","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145271762","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}

Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered via interviews, observations, focus groups, and document analysis. Thematic analysis identifies key actors, implementation dynamics, and enabling and inhibiting factors. Findings show that while bureaucrats and extension workers serve as policy entrepreneurs—exercising discretion and forming informal networks—progress is hindered by centralized governance, bureaucratic complexity, and limited external funding. Successful KWTs rely on organizational strength, local innovations, and continued technical assistance. The findings highlight the need for reforming resource exchange mechanisms, building institutional capacity, and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration to support sustainable, community-based food security policy.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":44747,"journal":{"name":"Asian Politics & Policy","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145271880","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}
