The thesis has researched and clarified three main contents: Factors affecting Philippines - US cooperation in the field of security and military from 2001 - 2017; Current status of Philippines - US cooperation in the field of security and military from 2001 - 2017; Assessment of Philippines - US security and military relations in the period 2001 - 2017 and prospects in the coming years.
Based on the analysis of factors affecting the Philippines-US relations in the field of security and military, such as objective factors (changes in the international political-security environment; new challenges from within the region) and subjective factors (traditional relations between the two countries and the need for cooperation between the two countries), the thesis has pointed out the driving force for the Philippines and the US to get closer. The thesis has also clarified the current state of the Philippines-US security and military relationship, thereby pointing out the characteristics of this relationship and its impact on the region, including Vietnam. The thesis has also forecasted the prospects for the security and military relationship between the two countries in the coming time, even though this relationship is currently showing signs of decline.
There have been many works and research articles on the Philippines-US relationship, but very few articles related to cooperation between the two countries in the fields of security and military. The thesis has collected, synthesized and arranged data in a logical manner to clearly see the characteristics and impacts of this relationship on the region. The research results are of profound theoretical and practical significance.
11. Practical application:
The thesis has pointed out the positive and negative impacts on the Southeast Asian region, including Vietnam. From the perspective of policy researchers, the thesis contributes to providing a scientific basis for determining policies and priorities in defense cooperation between Vietnam and the US in the near future.
12. Further research directions:
The US continues to commit to strong engagement in the Southeast Asian region, while the Philippines is pursuing a policy of reducing its dependence on the US. Therefore, the Philippines-US relationship in general and in the security and military fields in particular will be an interesting and highly topical topic.
