Arguing about ASEAN
There are varies argument about security community in south east asia. Some scholar stated that
security in south east asia was… , in the other hand some scholar views that…
In Solidum’s eyes, security in Southeast Asia was indelibly an ASEAN product. Security was ‘the
enjoyment of the ASEAN values of peace, economic, social and culturaldevelopment, cooperation,
political stability, and regional stability and progress’…. From Solidum’s account, the inference is clear:
ASEAN is a security community in the full causal sense. ASEAN’s members enjoy regional security
because of the normative community that ASEAN has created.
David Martin Jones, a professor of government in Australia formerly resident in Singapore, expressed a
different view. Jones wrote that the Association ‘increasingly resembles other failed postcolonial Cold
War organizations like the Non Aligned Movement, the Organization of African Unity and the Arab
League’.
My suggestion is not a counsel of scientism, positivism, or perfection. ASEAN has changed and is
changing. Analytically, therefore, it is a moving target. And, because we can never be absolutely or
permanently sure of our non-trivial generalizations about it, dissensus is not just helpful; it is essential.
