Building a People-Oriented Security Community the ASEAN wayAuthor(s): Alan Collins\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138086678, 978-1138086678\nSynopsis\nASEAN has declared its intention to create a security community in Southeast Asia that is people-orientated. This book evaluates ASEANs progress, and in doing so examines three matters of concern. \n\nThe book firstly looks at the importance of constitutive norms to the workings of security communities, by identifying ASEANs constitutive norms and the extent to which they act as a help of hindrance in establishing a security community. It then moves on to how ASEAN has interpreted people-orientated as empowering civil society organisations to be community stakeholders. The book discusses the uncertainty between how ASEAN envisages their role, and the role they themselves expect to have. Civil society actors are seeking to influence what sort of community evolves.
