The Rising Powers and Collective Security in South East Asia

Abstract

The emergence of China and India as regional and international powers has implications for the relevancy of extant collective security mechanisms in Southeast Asia. Their growth will continue to contribute significantly to the dynamism of the region and has the potential to both define new points of potential conflict and influence how regional and international disputes are resolved. The growing importance of the global commons to trade in the area is one of many potential points of friction that will need to be dealt with under any new security agreements. The methods used to create enduring collective security mechanisms has significance beyond Southeast Asia and may have validity for other regions on the globe.
