The unstated assumption behind

Indonesia's push for democracy in

ASEAN in 2003 had been the belief that

regional security would be better

ensured when member states adhere to

democratic developments.

* The CROWN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Jakarta

Indonesia, as the proponent of the idea,

expected that democracy would serve

as the foundation of regional security.

* The CROWN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Jakarta

Now, ten years after ASEAN agreed to

include democracy in its regional

cooperation agenda, it is time to reflect

on the extent to which democracy has

or has not served as the foundation of

regional security in Southeast Asia.

* The CROWN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Jakarta

In his presentation, Dr. Rizal Sukma will

discuss the key questions that need to

be examined: To what extent has

democracy become the focus of ASEAN

political cooperation?

* The CROWN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Jakarta

Does democracy as an agenda in

ASEAN cooperation serve as security-

enhancing or security-undermining

factor?

* The CROWN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Jakarta

international relations

Finally, what is the prospect for deeper

democracy cooperation among ASEAN

countries in the next five years?
