The ASEAN Security Community: A Misplaced Consensus1

Nicholas Khoo

Journal of Asian Security and International Affairs, 2015, vol. 2, issue 2, 180-199

Abstract: Is the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) a security community? To many theorists and Southeast Asian specialists, the answer is a resounding yes. This article interrogates this consensus. The author contends that a greater sensitivity to empirical evidence and theoretical rigour leads to the conclusion that the claims of security community theorists are far less compelling than is claimed.
