The Evolution of Preventive Diplomacy in the ASEAN Regional Forum: Problems and Prospects

In: Asian survey, Band 46, Heft 5, S. 785-804

Abstract

This article examines the processes behind the evolution of preventive diplomacy in the ASEAN Regional Forum. The Forum's potential to establish meaningful preventive diplomacy mechanisms is likely to remain highly limited unless it departs from the rules of the "ASEAN Way" of institution building. This departure would only be a prerequisite, not a solution.
