Penelitian ini membahas perkembangan ASEAN menuju security community dengan meneliti konflik bersenjata antara Thailand dan Kamboja. Respon dari ASEAN terhadap konflik, serta dinamika interaksi kedua negara memiliki peran penting dalam menilai mengapa konflik bisa terjadi di tengah upaya ASEAN membentuk security community yang lebih matang. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan konstruktivis, yang berfokus pada norma dan identitas, tesis ini menganalisis tiga faktor penyebab konflik, yaitu “organisasi”, “transaksi”, dan “pembelajaran sosial”. Ketiga faktor tersebut menentukan perkembangan dan kemunduran ASEAN di masa depan.

ABSTRACT
This research examines the progress of ASEAN towards a security community by analysing the armed conflict between Thailand and Cambodia. How ASEAN responds to the conflict as well as the interaction dynamic between the two countries have played a central role in analysing why the armed conflict occurs in the middle of ASEAN’s effort to develop a more mature security community. By employing constructivist framework which emphasises norms and identity development, this theses analyses three factors behind the armed conflict, namely “organisation”, “transaction”, and “social learning”. These factors will be crucial in determining ASEAN’s development and decline in the future.

The rise of China is changing the strategic landscape globally and regionally. How states respond to potential threats posed by this new power arrangement will be crucial to international relations for the coming decades. This book builds on existing realist and rationalist concepts of balancing, bandwagoning, commitment problems, and asymmetric information to craft explanations about how states respond when faced with potential threats. Specifically, the book explores the role different types of uncertainty play in potential balancing situations. Particular focus is paid to the nature of the rising state's actions, the balance of forces, and the value of delay

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has achieved deeper regional market integration to lay a socio-economic foundation for the development of a regional community, yet inter-state trust is by no means assured as Southeast Asian nations remain steadfast in maintaining their political regime stability against external interference. However, through its institutional practices, ASEAN has emerged as a distinct model of security institution, while the region's contemporary security landscape has diversified with various non-traditional security issues. By looking beyond the veneer of diplomacy and prevailing political circumstances, this book examines the legal nature and form of ASEAN's authority to address diverse regional security issues. It provides a fresh perspective on ASEAN's role as a security institution. With an interdisciplinary analysis, this book reveals the normative role that ASEAN plays in facilitating the processes of norm development, localisation and internalisation as it deals with contemporary security challenges confronting Southeast Asia.

"Southeast Asia serves as an excellent case study to discuss major transformations in the relationship between states. This book looks at the changing nature of relationships between countries in Southeast Asia, as well as their relationships with other states in Asia and beyond. A diverse region in many areas, open to outside influence in many fields, but not without dynamics of its own, Southeast Asia has been through centuries the site of states with very differing levels of power and in a variety of forms. It has also been exposed to powerful neighbours, seawards empires and contending world powers. Adopting a historical approach, the book analyses state relations against the background of regional and geopolitical developments from within and without. It discusses how Southeast Asian states of the 21st century can best preserve their security in the context of the rise of China, and goes on to look at the extent to which they can preserve their autonomy of action. Offering a long-term perspective on these issues, this inter-disciplinary study is of interest to scholars and students of Southeast Asian history and politics, world history and international relations"--

It explores Indonesia's transition to a more assertive maritime policy through information dissemination, military enhancement, and diplomatic alliances to counter China's influence. Utilizing a qualitative approach grounded in Charles F. Hermann's foreign policy change model, geopolitical theory, and constructivist views, it investigates the internal and external factors driving this shift, including US-China rivalry and Indonesia's emerging maritime identity. Despite potential conflicts, Indonesia and China have maintained a focus on diplomatic solutions and economic cooperation due to their mutual economic dependencies and interest in regional stability. The dissertation emphasizes the critical role of increased Indonesia-China dialogue and cooperation in addressing South China Sea security issues, suggesting improved bilateral maritime security and economic collaboration. It contributes to the understanding of maritime diplomacy and strategic adjustments, highlighting the importance of national identity, geopolitical strategy, and international diplomacy in navigating the challenges of global maritime disputes and advocating for peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
