Contemporary Conflicts in Southeast Asia: Towards a New ASEAN Way of Conflict Management (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789811000409)

This book looks at major contemporary conflicts --intra and interstate-- in Southeast Asia from a conflict management perspective. Starting with the view that the conventional ASEAN conflict-management methods have ceased to be effective, it looks for new conflict-management patterns and trends by investigating seven contemporary cases of conflict in the region. Focusing on the incompatibilities involved in each case and examining how they have been managed--whether by integration, co-existence, elimination or maneuvering around the conflict--the book sheds new light on the significance of managing conflict in achieving and maintaining the stability of the Southeast Asian region. It makes a significant theoretical contribution to the field of peace and conflict studies by proposing the concept of "mediation regime" as the key to understanding current conflict management within ASEAN.
