SUMMARY: Debating Non-Traditional Security in the Asia-Pacific: Discourse i
 n the Making of an ASEAN Community
DESCRIPTION: Join Stéphanie Martel as she discusses the ambiguity of ASEAN’
 s status as a security community in the making\, through an emphasis on the
  role of discourse in international relations.
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <h3><strong>Abstract:</strong></h3><p><strong
 > </strong>On December 31\, 2015\, the Association of Southeast Asian Natio
 ns (ASEAN) formally announced the establishment of its security community. 
 This is despite the fact that the grouping departs in many ways from the co
 nventional understanding of what a ‘security community’ is\, has not fulfil
 led even its self-defined criteria for claiming this status\, and is faced 
 with major security challenges\, ranging from the South China Sea disputes 
 to the Rohingya crisis. This conference addresses the ambiguity of ASEAN’s 
 status as a security community in the making\, through an emphasis on the r
 ole of discourse in international relations. It is argued that ASEAN is bes
 t conceived as a ‘community of discourse\,’ produced and reproduced through
  an ongoing debate over the meaning of regional security. The demonstration
  zooms in on ‘non-traditional security’ as a central element of the regiona
 l security discourse. It draws from interviews with officials\, experts and
  NGOs engaged in the ASEAN-led regional process\, public documentation\, as
  well as observation of informal and non-governmental diplomatic meetings i
 n Southeast Asia.</p><h3><strong> </strong><strong>About the speaker:</stro
