Abstract
As ASEAN enters its third decade, this chapter seeks to assess what has in practice arguably constituted the Association’s most important role. The intention is not only to establish that the enhancement of broadly defined regional security has been a crucial objective for ASEAN since its earliest days, and to discern the various dimensions of this collective endeavour, but also to attempt to broaden the hitherto rather stilted debate concerning the Association’s future security role.
An earlier, shorter version of this chapter was published as ‘ASEAN’s Prospective Security Role: Moving Beyond the Indochina Fixation’, in Contemporary Southeast Asia, 9, 3, December 1987.

Justus M. van der Kroef, ‘National Security, Defense Strategy and Foreign Policy Perceptions in Indonesia’, Orbis, 20, no. 2 (Summer 1980), p. 480. Official and semi-official Indonesian definitions of ‘national resilience’ in the English language are less concise than van der Kroef’s.
