Contemporary Conflicts in Southeast Asia Gebunden

This book looks at major contemporary conflicts ¿intra and interstate¿ in Southeast Asia from a conflict management perspective. Starting with the view that the conventional ASEAN conflict-management methods have ceased to be effective it looks for new conflict-management patterns and trends by investigating seven contemporary cases of conflict in the region. Focusing on the incompatibilities involved in each case and examining how they have been managed¿whether by integration co-existence elimination or maneuvering around the conflict¿the book sheds new light on the significance of managin g conflict in achieving and maintaining the stability of the Southeast Asian region. It makes a significant theoretical contribution to the field of peace and conflict studies by proposing the concept of ¿mediation regime¿ as the key to understanding current conflict management within ASEAN.
