With the United States and China competing for influence in Southeast Asia, how weaker states in the region make their foreign policy choices has come under more scrutiny in recent years. The conventional International Relations literature tends to focus on how great powers influence or even dictate weaker states' domestic politics and foreign policies, yet pays little attention to the weaker states' agency. There has not been enough study focusing on what conditions enable weaker states to maximize their own national interest. Why are some weaker states more capable of resisting demands made on them by the great powers? Why can some weaker states get more aid than others even though they are located within one geographic region? To explain how weaker states achieve their national interest, this paper offers a theoretical framework to analyze how the interplay between level of international competition and weaker states' foreign policy choices can explain weaker states' ability to realize their national interest. The paper then offers three paired comparisons of two weaker states in Southeast Asia, Thailand and Myanmar (Burma), in their relations with the U.S. and China throughout the Cold War and post-Cold War periods to illustrate the logic of the theoretical framework.
