Association of Southeast Asian Nations is considered as the most important intergovernmental organization for regional integration of Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific region. ASEAN has promoted such an integration project since 1990s, and targeted for embodiment of ASEAN Community by the end of 2015. Since the end of Cold War, the member states have came to compromise, found the common ground, and envisioned the common future. The realization of ASEAN Community would be not only a big progress but a new beginning. Even so, there are such challenges for further integration as economic and cultural gaps among each other, and political as well as security dilemma. This author analyzed security issues, focusing on the South China Sea disputes, from inside-out perspective. Besides, the author took the involvement of external super power into consideration from outside-in perspective. On the basis of these two perspectives, the author brought up his observations for the future development of ASEAN. |
