“…11 There is a good argument against the realist treatment of ASEAN security in Busse (1999: 4-44). 12 An excellent account of the territorial disputes in the ASEAN area can be found in Amer (1998). the Philippines (Sabah), and Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines (Spratly Islands). 13 Furthermore, due to the heterogeneous populations of Southeast Asian countries, and due to the fact that ethnic borders cut across state borders, one cannot say that the question of the liberation of ethnic nationalist groups, or of race relations between Malays and Chinese which have been disputed between Malaysia (Indonesia) and Singapore, would have been solved.…”

“…22 The success of ASEAN mechanisms has been disputed. While some say that they have been applied with success (Amer, 1998;Caballero-Anthony, 1998), others argue that the reliance on international dispute resolution mechanisms in some territorial disputes proves some of the weaknesses related to the closed nature of ASEAN mechanisms (Simon, 1998). In addition to mechanisms of conflict resolution, the mechanisms of preventive diplomacy have developed very recently (Tay & Talib, 1997).…”

According to the constructivist theory of liberal democratic peace, intersubjective social realities are often more important in the construction of pacific unions of interstate peace. In order to demonstrate the importance of social construction rather than objective matters as a source of peace, previous studies have discussed cases where democracies appear to have fought one another. This article, instead of showing how objective factors fail to contribute to liberal democratic peace if the intersubjective consensus is lacking, shows how the intersubjective consensus about the common interests, norms, and identity has contributed to the interstate peace among the illiberal non-democracies of Southeast Asia. The long peace among the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in 1968-94 is compared to the bellicose period of the Malaysian confrontation, when most of the objective bases for the perception of common interests, common commitment to democratic procedures and liberal norms, and institutional restraints on war were arguably stronger than during the long peace. The intention is to show how even the political elite groups of illiberal non-democracies can manipulate the social consciousness for the purpose of creating a pacific union, similar to the one which has been socially constructed by liberal democracies. At the same time the study provides indirect support for the constructivist theory of liberal democratic peace.

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.
