Description
Introduction Today, the "ASEAN Way" is being challenged. In Southeast Asia, issues over the interpretation of the elements of the "ASEAN Way" have been debated. The "ASEAN Way" refers to a set of diplomatic norms shared by the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). (1) It encourages the Southeast Asian countries to seek an informal and incremental approach to co-operation through lengthy consultation and dialogue. Its elements include the principles of noninterference in the internal affairs of other states, the non-use of force, and so on. Some scholars and analysts have been calling for a modified interpretation of these principles. Jusuf Wanandi notes that the principle of non-intervention is "passe" (2) Simon Tay and Jesus Estanislao argue that "exceptions" must be found with regard to the principles of the "ASEAN Way". (3)
