Jurgen Ruland
- 2005
Argues that since the end of the Cold War the security challenges faced by Southeast Asia have converged with those faced by OECD countries, however this has not been matched by a convergence of security cultures. In SE Asia power and state-centric approaches plus a strong reliance on national sovereignty restrict the scope for collective action which has been so evident in the OECD area. Discusses unresolved territorial disputes and conventional security problems as well as the growth of non-traditional security theats in SE Asia.
