“…The second classification deals with the multilateralism of Indonesia and Australia in security cooperation using the concept of trilateral cooperation (Kelton, M. & David W., 2019), security regionalism (Mcdougall, 2001), security cooperation (Zimmerman, E., 2014), and cyber cooperation (Gultom, Supriyadi, & Kustana, 2018). Several concepts explain each country's self-interest, encouraging foreign policy to increase regional cooperation relationships.…”

The geographical proximity between Indonesia and Australia leads to harmonious relations between these two countries, especially in security. The development of information technology is one of the areas becoming the focus of Indonesia and Australia in maintaining regional security. Security cooperation has been established between Indonesia and Australia. This development can have an impact on a dispute between Indonesia and Australia, particularly in the 2013 cyberwar conflict. An Australian cyber-attack on Indonesia by tapping President Yudhoyono’s communication network caused the cyberwar incident. However, the post-cyberwar between Indonesia and Australia did not cause tension in the relations between the two countries. Indonesia approved the MOU of Cybersecurity Cooperation with Australia in 2018. This study aims to analyze the causes of Indonesia and Australia’s choice to continue their cybersecurity cooperation after the Indonesia-Australia cyberwar in 2013. This research utilized the theory of complex interdependence and domestic politics and qualitative analysis methods. The results revealed that Australia’s soft power resources, Australia’s political credibility, the advantages of Indonesia and Australia as democratic countries, and the political survival of individual leaders caused both countries to continue their cybersecurity cooperation after the Indonesia-Australia cyberwar in 2013.

“…Capacity-building is another achievement that ASEAN-centred extra-regional cooperation managed to accomplish in regard to CT. A number of joint-training and tabletop exercises are conducted not just for CT capacity building but also humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts between militaries (Zimmerman, 2014). The ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) has notably established Inter-sessional Support Group for the issues of maritime security (disaster relief), humanitarian assistance, transnational crime, and terrorism.…”

“…ASEAN Regional Forum also serves as a hub for formulation of workplan that implements the 2013-2017 PoA in 2014, it issued the ARF Work Plan on Counter-terrorism and Transnational Crime (ASEAN Regional Forum, 2017) focusing on priority areas of cyber security, illicit drugs suppression, mitigation of the use of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) by subversive actors, counter-radicalization or alternative narratives against extremist ideologies; anti-terrorism financing; and involuntary trafficking of persons. ARF also supported wider non-traditional security exercises that serve both capacity building as well as trust building among participating states, including Multilateral Tabletop or Field Exercises, Voluntary Training Courses, Capacity-Building Workshops, and ARF Pilot Projects (Zimmerman, 2014). ARF workplan takes the ASEAN-CT cooperation closer to the Counter Violent-Extremism (CVE) aspect of CT as it aims to empower participants in sabotaging terrorists' attempts at exploiting connectivity network and freedom of information to propagate their views (ASEAN Regional Forum, 2017).…”

This research examines the inter-regional security cooperation between ASEAN and the EU with a specific focus on counterterrorism. The research methods are based on a comparison of regional counterterrorism governance between the two regions and a close reading of Plan of Actions for the enhancement of ASEAN-EU relations documents from 2007 to 2018. The results show that CT cooperation is about facilitating a more comprehensive security governance cooperation where European standards and experience are transferred to Southeast Asia for purposes of regional security and diplomatic relations. In addition, this research also shows that EU-ASEAN CT cooperation has not been geared specifically to combat radicalism, or as part of a Counter Violent Extremism program; rather, the inter-regional cooperation has mainly focused on building a common normative framework in responding to terrorism within the corridor of democracy and preempting the terrorist networks from exploiting connectivity networks. Finally, implementation of security and political cooperation between the EU and ASEAN tend to rely on the existing extra-regional dialogue fora within ASEAN as well as direct engagement between the EU and third parties comprising each of the ASEAN states.

“…Some state and non-state players tend to move to regional and multilevel connections in the quest of responding to the NTS (Caballero-Anthony, Cook, Chng, & Balen, 2013). Multilateral action has been identified as the most effective way to deal with a new source of threats, mainly through the authority of regional institutions (Pennisi di Floristella, 2012;Zimmerman, 2014).…”

Health and security nexus in Southeast Asia: Collective securitisation

This article examines how the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) collectively securitised a non-traditional security issue. Securitisation theory provides a way for government policymakers to devote more attention and resources to issues that might otherwise be overlooked. Securitisation theory, however, is not without significant shortcoming. The framework only emphasises nation-state as the referent object and unit of analysis. By contrast, the characteristics of non-traditional security issue threats require a multilevel relationship, as national solutions are often inadequate. This study, therefore, highlights the process of securitising infectious diseases at the ASEAN level and identifying the types of health challenges that have been collectively securitised. This was done through triangulation of academic materials, ASEAN's official statements and semi-structured elite interviews of the discourse on Southeast Asian health policy between 1967 and 2010. This study argues that only diseases with the potential of becoming a pandemic and threaten the stability of a region have been successfully securitised at the regional level. Additionally, collective securitisation has increase multilateral cooperation among the ASEAN member states.
