The Responsibility to Provide in Southeast Asia
Despite the long-held and jealously guarded ASEAN principle of non-intervention, this book argues that states in Southeast Asia have begun to display an increasing readiness to think about sovereignty in terms not only of state responsibility to their own populations but also towards neighbouring countries as well. Taking account of the realities of interstate cooperation in the region, and drawing on the work of Emmanuel Levinas, the author develops a new theoretical framework reflecting an evolution of attitudes about state sovereignty to explain this emerging ethic of regional responsibility.
“This nuanced and thought-provoking book adds a highly welcome new layer to our understanding of the evolution of norms in Southeast Asia” Linda Quayle, independent writer and researcher
