Southeast Asia has emerged as one of the world's economic development zones. The advancement of information technology is undeniably driving economic growth in this region by the digital economy. Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries reap the benefits of the region's digital economy development. However, ASEAN itself still has significant problems related to cyber security regulations. Unlike other non-traditional security organizations, ASEAN already has a cooperation framework in place to combat security threats such as drugs, terrorism, and human trafficking. In reality, ASEAN does not yet have a framework for cooperation or regulation in dealing with cyber threats. This region is heavily reliant on the expansion of the digital economy. This scientific article will examine how ASEAN can maximize the organization's consensus mechanism in order to reach an agreement on cyber security regulations in the Southeast Asian region. The author analyzes cyber security issues using qualitative methods. As a data collection technique, the author employs a case study approach and secondary data such as literature studies. According to the author's discussion, a cybersecurity cooperation framework can be achieved through consensus if ASEAN can maximize the functions of the general secretariat and critical regional forums. As a result, the role of ASEAN sub organ will be very important in order to foster cybersecurity consensus in the Southeast Asian region.

“…ASEAN's cognitive prior can be seen in the so-called 'ASEAN Way', which posits the organization's cooperation norms, including non-interference, informality, consensus, nonbinding decisions, pragmatism, flexibility, close interpersonal relationships, and lean institutionalization. These norms and cognitive prior were informed by political realism: the belief that power shapes international relations, and that states are placed in an imagined hierarchical order defined by attributes of power (Rüland, 2017;Rosyidin & Pattipeilohy, 2020;Agastia, 2021).…”

While the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC) Blueprint 2025 envisages a centrality of regional architecture in responding to security challenges in the region, divided positions among the member states – mostly visible in the South China Sea dispute – have deepened the pessimism on the fate of APSC. Notwithstanding the persisting intra-ASEAN disunity, the organization has been projecting the goal of ASEAN centrality in the global political arena. The goal highlights ASEAN’s emerging role as the ‘hub’ of regional cooperation in Asia-Pacific hence cohesion is highly expected. This paper aims to examine ASEAN cohesion and how it aligns with the institution’s community-building project. To this aim, it primarily looks at the pattern of divergence and convergence in ASEAN voting behavior across security issues discussed in the UN General Assembly. It also underscores the underlying factors behind the emerging patterns. Using Agreement Index (AI), this paper found that ASEAN member states’ voting highly converges on colonialism, the law of the sea, the Mediterranean region, military expenditures, outer space, peace, and transnational crimes. Alternatively, voting diverges on resolutions related to arms transfer, counterterrorism, and armed conflict. Contributing factors to this pattern include member states' preferences, the identity, value, norms, and cognitive prior of the regional organization, as well as alliance and major powers’ preferences.

Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing still being a significant threat to marine security and the sustainability of Indonesia's fishery resources. IUU Fishing has occurred a lot in the Fisheries Management Area of the Republic of Indonesia (FMARI) in the form of illegal fishing by foreign fishing vessels or destructive fishing methods that are not according to provisions in fishing national law. It provides an excellent loss for Indonesia regarding social, ecological/environmental, and economic aspects. First, this study aims to construct legal arrangements in Indonesia related to eradicating IUU Fishing by analyzing cases in Indonesia's maritime areas and implementing resourcebased theory in analyzing the issues. Second, to find the international legal efforts that Indonesia can make in eradicating IUU Fishing. The research method used is normative research with a statute and conceptual approach. The research was conducted by analyzing primary legal materials in the form of regulations by considering the data obtained in the field. Consequently, the data that will be studied are government action in minimizing the impact and international cooperation established by Indonesia in handling IUU Fishing in the waters of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. The conclusion is that eradicating IUU Fishing requires international cooperation through joint security between Indonesia and the bordering states. In the context of eradicating IUU Fishing in Indonesia, law enforcement also needs improvements for violations of the law on fisheries.
