“…Conversely, neoliberalism extends the security concept from territorial integrity to “the absence of threat of severe deprivation of economic welfare” (Nye, 1974: 588), given the declining efficiency of military means. Economic security refers to clusters of values, including economic welfare, political and social autonomy, and political status, rather than instruments, which can be collectively pursued through multilateral economic institutions and intergovernmental cooperation (Krause and Nye, 1975).…”

Since the end of the Cold War, ASEAN has continuously increased its level of integration into the global economy to enhance regional economic prosperity and stability. Given the conceptual fluidity of economic security in international relations, however, ASEAN's firm commitment to promoting positive synergies between economic and security interests warrants further attention. In this vein, this article examines the evolving nature of ASEAN's economic security with a focus on regional economic initiatives, including trade agreements and the ASEAN Economic Community. The article suggests that ASEAN can maximize its potential for economic security when it increases the credibility of its commitment to regional economic cooperation and integration. To do so, ASEAN should more effectively address the issues of weak institutional capabilities and domestic political conflicts over regional economic governance. It should also proactively respond to unexpected challenges from external factors, such as US–China rivalry and the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…In addition to securing its own populace, the EU's CT cooperation can also be perceived as part of the region's maintenance of presence in Southeast Asia through Non-Traditional Security cooperation. Europe and Southeast Asia shared a similar conception of non-traditional security (NTS) in which terrorism is part of its issues (Martel, 2016). For example, ASEAN-EU Plan of Action 2018-2022 stipulated the plans for cooperation between ASEAN and European Union to combat terrorism under the heading of "combating terrorism, transnational crimes, and addressing other non-traditional security (NTS) issues."…”

This research examines the inter-regional security cooperation between ASEAN and the EU with a specific focus on counterterrorism. The research methods are based on a comparison of regional counterterrorism governance between the two regions and a close reading of Plan of Actions for the enhancement of ASEAN-EU relations documents from 2007 to 2018. The results show that CT cooperation is about facilitating a more comprehensive security governance cooperation where European standards and experience are transferred to Southeast Asia for purposes of regional security and diplomatic relations. In addition, this research also shows that EU-ASEAN CT cooperation has not been geared specifically to combat radicalism, or as part of a Counter Violent Extremism program; rather, the inter-regional cooperation has mainly focused on building a common normative framework in responding to terrorism within the corridor of democracy and preempting the terrorist networks from exploiting connectivity networks. Finally, implementation of security and political cooperation between the EU and ASEAN tend to rely on the existing extra-regional dialogue fora within ASEAN as well as direct engagement between the EU and third parties comprising each of the ASEAN states.

“…(2010,116). This issue identifies a particular and specific claim that in areas of non-traditional security cooperation between states should be considered to be 'low-hanging fruit' (Martel 2017, 556, Patalano 2015.…”

“…As Martel notes combating these challenges are often seen as the "low-hanging fruit" of regional cooperation (2017,556). These challenges are, therefore supposed to be the 'doable'; the easy to achieve targets that may then move from building confidence between states towards enduring cooperation (Martel 2017). This is not only the case with the ten ASEAN states but also draws in the wider regional states of China, Japan and South Korea in the ASEAN Plus Three (APT) grouping and through the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF).…”
