On 1 February 2021, Myanmar's military, the Tatmadaw, seized power from its civilian government, leading to a series of mass protests escalating into national violence and turmoil amid the conflict and resistance among the military, opposition and other military actors. The heated political uprising, economic and social system collapse and unchecked COVID-19 pandemic have pushed the country to the brink of failed state status for lack of order, governance, and security. The violence committed by the Myanmar coup has caused a comprehensive concern form international community against the violation of human rights, fundamental freedom, and democracy under the military suppression. The political and humanitarian crisis is a blow to the stability and security not only of the conflict state but also of Southeast Asia region as internal chaos is increasingly translated into a regional one. ASEAN has been given full recognition and support by the international to play the primary actor to tackle the crisis. The response from the regional bloc has been under review from "ASEAN centrality" and a test to itself in terms of "ASEAN way," where the noninterference principle lays the foundation for the unity and operation of the organization. The dialectic argument between ASEAN Way and Centrality will be explored on the Myanmar crisis. |
