Does ASEAN play a role in managing security issues in Southeast Asia and beyond? ASEAN is considered one of the most successful regional secu-rity institutions (RSIs), particularly after the end of the Cold War. The end of the Cold War created a power vacuum in East Asia, and there was political momentum in the region to establish multilateral economic and security organizations to fill that vacuum. Indeed, non-ASEAN member states, such as Australia and Japan, have successfully created a multilateral economic institution, the Asia–Pacific Economic Cooperation. However, it was ultimately ASEAN that shaped the regional multilateral architecture in the post-Cold War Asia–Pacific. Building on ASEAN’s Post Ministerial Conferences (PMCs) to interact with external actors, it started to estab-lish a number of affiliated institutions, including the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) in 1994, ASEAN Plus Three (APT) in 1997, East Asia Summit (EAS) in 2005, and the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (ADMM-Plus) in 2010. This was possible because the 1992 ASEAN Summit decided to expand its institutional agenda by including polit-ical and security issues in ASEAN forums (ASEAN Secretariat, 1992). In short, ASEAN, as the core of regional multilateralism, encompassing small, medium, and great powers in the region, became the RSI in East Asia. Nevertheless, the strategic environment created by ASEAN through the construction of regional multilateral architecture in East Asia has been gradually changing because of the emerging strategic competition between China and the United States. China’s vast economic market attracted regional states and created significant trade and financial depen-dence on the country. Its Belt and Road Initiative provided an alternative development assistance to developing states that were unable to meet the high international standards set by global institutions such as the Organ-isation for Economic Co-operation and Development. China’s increasing military presence in East Asia also placed strategic pressure on regional states, such as Brunei, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, particularly over the East and South China Seas. Institution-ally, China proactively established non-ASEAN institutional frameworks, including the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. As such, China’s military, economic, and political rise has altered the US unipolar system in the region.
