“…ASEAN faces heightened challenges due to growing great power rivalry, especially over the South China Sea and the Trump administration-initiated trade war with China. ASEAN has been unable to reach a consensus in how to deal with China's SCS claims and apparent assertiveness (Beeson 2016). Despite this, it remains at the centre of Asia's formal regionalism and will be crucial, alongside the great powers, in determining the future of order and power relations in the Asia-Pacific (Table 4).…”

This paper contributes to recent revisions to the English School (ES) which have sought to redress its Eurocentrism. It argues that, despite providing necessary accounts of non-Western international societies and the agency of non-European polities in the expansion of global international society, there remains a gap in capturing the agency of postcolonial states in contributing to order negotiation and management in contemporary international order. It proposes a social role negotiation framework to address the gap, which it situates within a holistic conceptual framework that supplements an ES understanding of international order between states with a world-system perspective on how states are embedded within global capitalism, and a neo-Gramscian focus on social forces as the key agents contesting and shaping states' foreign policy orientation. It highlights two major types of postcolonial state agency within international order: contesting and limiting great powers' legitimate exercise of power; and establishing responsibilities towards building and managing order vis-a-vis great powers. The paper illustrates the utility of the social roles framework with the example of ASEAN in Southeast Asian and Asia-Pacific order.

There are many great regional integrations in the world which initiated by developed countries. Those integration not only focus on politics but also developed as the economic integration. Some of these are seen as the great and developed regional integration because they can show their development socially, politically, and economically. Previously, ASEAN as regional integration in Southeast Asia rarely stated as great integration. But, nowadays ASEAN is stand as one best partner for economic cooperation.

“…The South China Sea is a critical case for the advocates of ASEAN-led regionalism, who see the ASEAN-proposed rules to regulate the overlapping claims areas as lying at the heart of what constitutes the organisation's self-proclaimed "ASEAN-centrality" (Terada 2012;Ba 2016). Consequently, ASEAN's fate is said to depend on whether or not it can "cope with China" (Ba 2006;Beeson 2015). Put into historical context, if in the past ASEAN was accused of being a "one-issue organisation" merely concerning itself with the Vietnamese in Cambodia, its litmus test has since come to be the developments in the South China Sea (Tong 2016).…”

Managing Territorial Disputes in Southeast Asia: Is There more than the South China Sea?

The conflicts in the South China Sea have come to dominate debates on Southeast Asian security and specifically on how boundary disputes have been managed within the region. Yet, the case is not necessarily exemplary for the way Southeast Asian countries have dealt with territorial disputes generally. The article gathers three common perceptions about conflict management that are strongly informed by the South China Sea case, but have lesser relevance when looking at other territorial conflicts in the region. I offer a critical reading of the who, why, and how of territorial conflict management and provide tentative guidelines on what to expect in the future.
