Saat ini belum ada indikator yang dapat mengukur efektivitas peran ASEAN di kawasan Asia Tenggara khususnya yang terkait masalah keamanan manusia. Padahal indikator ini dapat dijadikan alat evaluasi bagi suatu institusi untuk menilai tingkat keberhasilan, maupun hal-hal yang dianggap perlu dibenahi. Lebih lanjut tulisan ini akan melakukan analisis terhadap permasalahan keamanan manusia di kawasan Asia Tenggara dimulai dengan melakukan konseptualisasi, identifikasi, dan keterlibatan. Berdasarkan tiga tahapan analisis di atas kemudian akan menunjukkan permasalahan yang telah ditangani maupun belum dilakukan oleh ASEAN secara institusional. Selain memperlihatkan relevansi dibentuknya ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC) 2015 sebagai penegasan bagi seluruh negara anggota ASEAN untuk merespon permasalahan keamanan manusia secara institusional, tulisan ini juga akan menjawab pertanyaan riset: Bagaimana efektivitas peran ASEAN dalam mengatasi masalah Human Security di Kawasan Asia Tenggara?---Currently there are no indicators that can measure the effectiveness of the role of ASEAN in Southeast Asia, especially those related to human security issues. Though this indicator can be used as an evaluation tool for an institution to assess the success rate, as well as things that are considered necessary to be addressed. This paper will further analyze the human security issues in Southeast Asia starting with conceptualizing, identifying, and engaging. Based on the above three stages of analysis it will show the problems that have been handled and have not been done by ASEAN institutionally. In addition to showing the relevance of the establishment of ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC) 2015 as an affirmation for all ASEAN member countries to respond to institutional human security issues, this paper will also answer the research question: How is the effectiveness of ASEAN's role in addressing Human Security issues in Southeast Asia Region?

This article is a combination of scientific and policy papers. It will critically review how the Rohingya refugees were handled in Southeast Asia. The method used is qualitative policy analysis. The author will compare the statements contained in the ASEAN Charter, the Blueprint of the ASEAN Political-Security Community, and the ASEAN Declaration of Human Rights (AHRD) as legal umbrellas which guarantee the fulfilment of human rights in Southeast Asia with the policy responses of ASEAN and some of its members (Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia) toward the flow of Rohingya refugees. The policy analysis will target the substance and implications of the refugees. In general, there are two approaches to refugee policies, ‘security’ with an orientation toward state sovereignty and ‘humanism (human security)’ which is pro-refugee. The author uses the second approach as a framework and a standing position. Based on the results of the analysis, the security approach is far more dominant in the handling of Rohingya than humanism. The wave of Rohingya refugees is read as a security threat, economic burden, potential cultural issue, and other negative things that ultimately put the refugees in a worse position. The author criticizes this and suggests a number of recommendations to pursue a more humanistic approach.

Southeast Asian states are often referred to as “nations” (for example, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN), thus implying that the peoples of each state form only one national group and are easily distinguished and characterized. In fact, more often than not, each population of the various states shows not only differences of nationality but also many other differences. Among these factors of differentiation, the political geographer attaches particular importance to the two factors of language and nationality. These two cultural factors are elements of the “state-idea” and can affect the cohesion and strength of a state. All the newly independent states of Southeast Asia are seeking to establish their state-ideas and, i n the analysis of each state's population, these two factors can throw much light on the cohesion, functioning, and viability of that particular state.

As a regional organization, ASEAN has grown dynamically, proven by the increasing number of members and areas of cooperation that have been pursued. Along with globalization, this success is increasingly encouraging the will to achieve integration in ASEAN VISION 2020. Through SWOT analysis of strengths (Strengths), Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) and with the base of regionalism theory, this paper examines the creation of perspective of Southeast Asian integration. Through the framework and analysis of the problems, the results show that there are potential of ASEAN states to grasp the available international opportunity. This is also supported by existing policies in filling opportunities in economic, socio-culture, or politic security area. However, various problems still occured in realizing ASEAN integration. The main problem generally related to the sense of belonging of a person with the value of unity in diversity. Given the circumstances that exist both internally and among ASEAN member countries, presumably the idealism of the formation of integrity of Southeast Asia region is difficult to be realized.

AbstractThe paper explores whether the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has matured from a weak cooperative arrangement in its early days into a functioning security community by 2016. It first introduces a Deutschian and a constructivist understanding of security communities before examining ASEAN's involvement in the security realm since 1967. The paper claims that the regional body is not yet a security community, partly due to residual mistrust among its members, which undermines ASEAN's ability to address a series of ongoing inter-state disputes in Southeast Asia. While it has contributed to conflict avoidance, the Association has so far failed to conduct conflict resolution in spite of the ASEAN Political and Security Community initiative. The paper concludes that the failure to directly address and ultimately resolve sources of conflict in Southeast Asia has undermined the establishment of a security community in the region.

Inaugurated by a theoretical reading of experimental films from Indonesia, the Conclusion proposes principles and methods for future studies of Southeast Asian cinema. It grapples self-reflexively with the implications of applying critical theory and continental philosophy on undertheorized films from Southeast Asia, and acknowledges historical apprehensions regarding theory’s ability to imperialize knowledge. These intellectual politics render it worthwhile to ponder the political roots of Southeast Asian studies and area studies, for they are disciplines rooted in imperial and neo-imperial projects as well. Out of that conundrum, Southeast Asia’s uniqueness creates challenges for research, but these cinemas may also provide the infrastructure for a method that can wriggle free and clear these ideological or political overhangs.

Terrorism issue has been transforming into a worldwide concern. Southeast Asia is undoubtedly currently facing the similar issue. During Afghan war, Southeast Asia might be only known as “the exporters” of foreign militants to Afghanistan’s conflict zone. Going into the 21st century, Southeast Asia has, in turn, become the home base for terrorism itself to grow. Thus, ASEAN, as a regional body which shades Southeast Asia member states, responded to its emergence. ASEAN regarded terrorism a huge threat and paid extremely high attention to it through the release of ASEAN Convention on Counter Terrorism (ACCT). Moreover, ASEAN enhanced its commitment as regional body by composing one pillar of cooperation in security called ASEAN Political Security Community (APSC). APSC helps to drive all ASEAN member states to commit onto ACCT by proceeding to the full ratification by each member state and applying the effective implementation in dealing with the issue. This paper examines APSC’s role  in combating terrorism within region and discusses its obstacles in implementing ACCT.Keywords: ASEAN; ASEAN Political Security Community; Terrorism; ASEAN Convention on Counter-Terrorism; Non-Interference
