| metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: | The overarching question in this study is “would a region-wide maritime security cooperation benefit Southeast Asia more than the current status quo?” Southeast Asia is one of the most geographically significant regions in the world. The region is rich in dominant maritime trade routes, trade volume, untapped energy resources, and fishery and marine resources. However, the region is under both traditional and non-traditional maritime security threats that could potentially destabilize the entire region if not adequately addressed. Maritime stability in Southeast Asia directly links not only to the national and economic security of the coastal states in the region but also to the global trading community. This paradigm has led external powers to jockey for the position of influence in Southeast Asia, often disturbing the balance and harmony of Southeast Asian nations. This paper examines ASEAN as well as the organization’s methods, approaches, and responses to its various maritime security challenges. ASEAN has made efforts pursuing maritime peace, stability, and security, but members have not been able to reach the level of commitment for region-wide maritime security cooperation. There are a few internal and external challenges that repeatedly inhibit greater cooperation. The result revealed that there were region-wide holistic approaches or collective efforts concerning Southeast Asia’s maritime security cooperation. This research concluded that, despite significant progress in facets of maritime security cooperation in Southeast Asia, a region-wide maritime security cooperation would be more efficient, effective, and productive than the status quo. |
