> Ex: Cambodian conflict from 1978 to 1991
• ASEAN could not accept Vietnam’s march into Cambodia
and efforts were made to pressurize Vietnam to withdraw
its troops and find a viable solu6on to the conflict
• In many ways, the Vietnamese interven7on in Cambodia
provided ASEAN a catalyst to bring its members together
to ar6culate an ASEAN approach to security in Southeast
Asia, or for that mafer, the Asia-Pacific.
