ASEAN Centrality in the Era of Great Power Competition
Keywords:
ASEAN, ASEAN Centrality, Multipolarity, Great Power Competition, Small StatesAbstract
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was formed in 1967 with the Bangkok Conference as a bulwark against the spread of Communism in Southeast Asia. In its 57 years of existence ASEAN has proven to be a durable organization capable of organizational change. Furthermore, as the oldest and only standing regional organization with full membership of its region, or sub-region ASEAN has a large degree of credibility in international affairs. With the end of the Unipolar moment where the ‘West’ led by the United States exercised hegemony and beginning of a multipolar world ASEAN and its member states are entering into a new and dangerous period of great power competition. This holds both opportunities and perils similar in scope to the Cold War. This article will demonstrate using an historical and geopolitical approach that ASEAN will continue to play a pivotal and central role in East Asian international relations.
