The unstated assumption behind
Indonesia's push for democracy in
ASEAN in 2003 had been the belief that
regional security would be better
ensured when member states adhere to
democratic developments.
* The CROWN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Jakarta

Indonesia, as the proponent of the idea,
expected that democracy would serve
as the foundation of regional security.

Now, ten years after ASEAN agreed to
include democracy in its regional
cooperation agenda, it is time to reflect
on the extent to which democracy has
or has not served as the foundation of
regional security in Southeast Asia.
* The CROWN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Jakarta

In his presentation, Dr. Rizal Sukma will
discuss the key questions that need to
be examined: To what extent has
democracy become the focus of ASEAN
political cooperation?
* The CROWN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Jakarta

ASEAN cooperation serve as security-
enhancing or security-undermining
factor?
* The CROWN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Jakarta

Finally, what is the prospect for deeper
democracy cooperation among ASEAN
countries in the next five years?
