The Influence of Indo-Pacific Economic Framework on Peace Stability in The ASEAN Region (original) (raw)

By taking into account all motives for foreign economic cooperation, including the Indo-Pacific Economics Framework (IPEF), this framework will definitely affect the economies of several countries in the region, especially Southeast Asia. ASEAN is demanded not only as an elite state organization but furthermore, is also required to have the capability to involve all elements of its member countries' societies, in the varying fields, especially economic, political and peace stability. This paper then raised a question regarding how does the IPEF influence the peace stability in the ASEAN Region. In examining this question, the author used the theory of international organizations typology, international economic regime theory, and regional peace stability theory. It is concluded that the step that's certainly must be taken by countries in the region is to help each other. Thus, it is the joint responsibility of each country, both inside and outside the region to prevent the emergence of conflict and voluntarily build trust to achieve regional stability. In this context, ASEAN certainly must be stronger.
