دور رابطة دول جنوب شرق آسيا (الآسيان)‎ في تحقيق الأمن الإقليمي

Abstract EN

The organizational structure of relations between states is among the main features that distinguish the twentieth century as the era of international organization, especially after the increase in the number of political units after World War II in which regionalism was crystallized as a phenomenon.

It is not modern, as there are many blocs such as the European Union that have developed in it, the idea of regional bloc is prominent, especially in Europe, as it emerges after a controversy revolving around what is called Globalism in the face of Globalism vs.

Regionalism.

Regionalism, as a proponent of the global orientation sees the establishment of a global organization including all countries as the best way to achieve international peace and security.

While proponents of the regional orientation emphasize on the importance of establishing regional organizations to achieve this, and from here the theory of “regional peace” arose after World War II.

Since the capabilities of developing countries to compete are weak, many of these countries have sought to take one form or another of regional cooperation in order to enhance their economic capacity in facing these challenges.

In this context, the experience of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, known as ASEAN for short, represents a distinct model in this regard, which prompted to be considered as a model capable of being emulated by developing countries in their quest to maximize their gains in light of the contemporary international reality.

Hence the importance of this research seeks to identify the factors of success or failure of the “ASEAN” experience in achieving regional security, exploring its weaknesses, the challenges and difficulties it faces, and how to deal with them in order to identify the extent of the possibilities of benefiting from this experience in the Arab region.
