“…The interviews were conducted with civil societal actors involved in the temple conflict in different ways. Both members of organizations who worked with peace initiatives in relation to the conflict, as well as the members of the religious nationalist group Asoke—who many analysts view as instigating, politicizing, and/or fueling the conflict (Kasetsiri et al, ; Pawakapan, )—have been interviewed. The interviews have been conducted in Bangkok and in the Sisaket province, bordering Cambodia.…”

Through analyzing conflict narratives regarding Khao Phra Wihan, a territorial conflict important for nationalists in Thailand, this article aims to detangle how nationalization is experienced and performed on an individual level. In this article, the concept “affective self‐nationalization” is proposed to analyze the emotional and embodied practices through which individuals fashion themselves into nationalized subjects. In Thailand, self‐nationalization is instigated by the governing agency through repeated, regular, mandatory, public performances of loyalty through which individuals create the nation collectively. These performances create automatic feelings to the nation, establishes national others as fearsome, and rule through the basic human need of belonging. At the same time, individuals’ emotions shape the society through how they decide to perform nationalization. The concept of “affective self‐nationalization” captures the connections between the official nationalizing program of “outside” society in a form of nationalist emotional socialization with individual experience of nationalizing.

“…In a 1962 ruling by the United Nations International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, the cliff-top Preah Vihear temple located along the Thai-Cambodian border was determined to belong to Cambodia (see Kasetsiri, Sothirak, and Chachalpongpun 2013). This decision did not rule on the border around the temple, and by 2011, it had not yet been properly delineated under a 2000 Memorandum of Understanding on the demarcation of the border.…”

“…Thailand preferred to settle the conflict on a bilateral basis, while Cambodia turned to the UN and its associated bodies (UNSC, ICJ, and UNESCO) for assistance. This revealed Phnom Penh's “lack of faith and confidence in ASEAN” (Kasetsiri, Sothirak, and Chachalpongpun 2013: 37). ASEAN lacked neutrality as the disputing countries were member states, and it was only able to become more actively involved once the UN stepped in.…”

Enduring Mistrust and Conflict Management in Southeast Asia: An Assessment of ASEAN as a Security Community

The paper explores whether the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has matured from a weak cooperative arrangement in its early days into a functioning security community by 2016. It first introduces a Deutschian and a constructivist understanding of security communities before examining ASEAN's involvement in the security realm since 1967. The paper claims that the regional body is not yet a security community, partly due to residual mistrust among its members, which undermines ASEAN's ability to address a series of ongoing inter-state disputes in Southeast Asia. While it has contributed to conflict avoidance, the Association has so far failed to conduct conflict resolution in spite of the ASEAN Political and Security Community initiative. The paper concludes that the failure to directly address and ultimately resolve sources of conflict in Southeast Asia has undermined the establishment of a security community in the region.

Since the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) expanded its institutional outreach to span the broader Asia Pacific and new policy areas, a dominant orthodoxy has placed the organization at the center of the region's international order. More recently, uncertainty in the context of China's rise sheds doubt on ASEAN's apparent centrality to its procedurally driven transformation of foreign relations across East Asia. While theories of cooperation explain why and when minor powers choose to pool their resources, the reverse logic has hardly been considered. This paper shows that the particular type of ASEAN regionalism is not only a product of weak states' cooperation but that the lack of capacity also sets the limits for the regional project. Two case studies on intramural security elicit the limited effectiveness of ASEAN's endeavor to develop into a
