Any claims about an effective and sustainable role for ASEAN in regional security
are therefore premature. First, a dispute of a political and security nature between
two members is still viewed as a bilateral affair, and ASEAN as an organization still
refrains from engagement, which explains why the Joint Communique´ of the 41st
AMM included statements on North Korea, Iraq, and the Middle East, but had no
words on the Preah Vihear dispute. If ASEAN wants to take responsibility for
regional security, it needs to alter its framing of internal or bilateral affairs, start
viewing a dispute between two Member States as an issue of regional concern, and
direct regional efforts at conflict prevention, not just conflict management.
