What is it about?
Political scientists usually assume that the shape of regional organizations is a result of the power constellations and interests of regional states, or of the policy problems that they are supposed to address. This article argues that these perspectives do not fully capture how regional organizations have developed in Southeast Asia after the decolonization of the region. It shows that attempts at building regional organizations in the 1950s and 1960s reflected conflicts about common purposes and regional order, which manifested themselves in debates over fundamental norms of international politics like non-interference.
