This article demonstrates how South–South Cooperation (SSC), as it is now constituted in Southeast Asia, is little more than a liberal norm retaining only echoes of its origins in the 1955 Bandung Conference that first created SSC based on solidarity, common interests, and sovereignty. Southeast Asia is a useful case study of SSC’s evolution, as its states have been major players over the decades – with Indonesia proposing the Bandung Conference, Malaysia playing a key role in the 1980s, and Indonesia again at the forefront of the region from the first years of the new century onwards. Thailand and Singapore also have notable SSC programmes. However, the practices of SSC in the region show that it has become a liberal norm based on one key instrument – technical cooperation programmes. The process of SSC norm internalisation has occurred through a complex webbing of the interests and ideas of Southeast Asia’s states, regional dynamics, and Northern donor interests.

ABSTRAKSampai saat ini, prinsip-prinsip dalam ASEAN Way selalu mendapatkan tantangan dalam menghadapi dinamika kawasan Asia Tenggara. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengamati upaya-upaya ASEAN dalam menangani penyelesaian sengketa Laut Tiongkok Selatan dan bagaimana ASEAN Way memengaruhi upaya-upaya tersebut. Untuk menjawab rumusan tersebut, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif yang mengandalkan literatur-literatur akademis mengenai LTS dan dokumen-dokumen resmi ASEAN untuk memahami, menginterpretasikan, serta menyusun hasil penelitian dari fenomena sengketa LTS. Argumen penulisan dalam artikel ini adalah bahwa ASEAN merupakan organisasi kawasan yang aktif dalam penyelesaian sengketa LTS dengan berpedoman pada prinsip dan norma dalam ASEAN Way. Berdasarkan analisis terhadap data dan pembahasan, ASEAN Way merupakan pendorong yang positif dalam konteks fungsi dialog dan konsultasi damai dan bukan sebagai solusi untuk penyelesaian sengketa LTS. ASEAN berhasil menjadi sentral dalam upaya penyelesaian damai yang juga melibatkan negara-negara besar luar kawasan. Untuk menjadi sebuah solusi nyata, ASEAN Way masih memiliki tantangan karena seringkali menjadi alat Tiongkok agar ASEAN tidak melakukan intervensi atau pemaksaan kebijakan suatu negara terkait penyelesaian konflik LTS. Oleh karena itu, kolektivitas ASEAN dalam menghadapi isu LTS merupakan langkah ke depan yang perlu untuk segera diwujudkan.Kata kunci: ASEAN Way, Asia Tenggara, konstruktivisme, Laut Tiongkok Selatan, sengketa ABSTRACTUp to this point, principles in ASEAN Way have been challenged by the regional dynamics of Southeast Asia. This article seeks to observe ASEAN's efforts in handling the resolution of the South China Sea (SCS) dispute and how the principles of ASEAN Way affect those efforts. To do so, the writers use a qualitative method which relies on academic literature regarding SCS and ASEAN's official documents to comprehend, interpret, and to formulate the result of the research. This article argues that ASEAN as a regional organization has been taking an active role in SCS dispute resolution using the principles and norms of ASEAN Way. Based on the analysis, ASEAN Way is a positive drive to dialogues and peaceful consultations but not in itself a solution to end the dispute. The Way had allowed ASEAN to become central in the peaceful resolution efforts involving major powers from beyond the region. ASEAN Way, however, has its back draws one of which was being used by China to prevent ASEAN's intervention in or to dictate policy regarding the SCS dispute. Therefore, ASEAN collectivity in handling the SCS dispute should be the next step forward. Keywords: ASEAN Way, contructivism, disputes, South China Sea, Southeast Asia

<p>This thesis examines how Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Malaysia sought to articulate attitudes towards refugee protection during the Indochinese and Rohingya refugee crises. While countries in Southeast Asia are known to be reluctant to discuss and participate in refugee protection, preferring to follow the norm of non-interference encapsulated in the ‘ASEAN Way’ in recent years, over time, attitudes towards refugee protection have varied significantly. The thesis explores the internal and external pressures that have impacted on changing perceptions of refugee protection in Southeast Asia. To explore changes in refugee protection attitudes, I conduct a comparative case study between the Indochinese and Rohingya refugee crises, analysing the responses and the rationale justifying the level of refugee protection in Thailand and Malaysia. These two countries have employed a variety of arguments such as ethnicity, religion and economic costs of treaty accession to inform their practices of refugee protection. In addition, regional/international dynamics and the labelling of refugees have also affected the level of refugee protection as well. Overall, their selective engagement with international refugee law; ethnic considerations; regional influences and the securitisation of refugee crises contribute most to arguments as to why refugee protection attitudes in Southeast Asia have remained poor. My findings indicate that due to the overlapping nature of these factors, any examination of refugee protection attitudes cannot be answered adequately by a single explanation, be it the practice of non-interference or a non-ratification of the 1951 Refugee Convention. These attitudes are mostly influenced by internal pressures, with national and regional factors interacting in tandem to produce higher levels of insecurity for the refugees studied in this thesis. Ultimately, this thesis will demonstrate that while refugee protection attitudes in the two refugee crises were influenced by shifting notions of national security, race and regional dynamics, not much has changed in terms of the consequences for refugees.</p>
