Abstract

Do smaller ASEAN states “punch above their weight” in regional affairs or is their multilateralism “cheap talk” and deluded ambition? An evaluation of the extent to which ASEAN-led multilateralism contributes to regional order finds less effectiveness in mediating conflicts of interest than expected. It has been effective in inclusiveness, legitimizing great power roles, and institutionalizing small state voices. Yet, its mode of multilateralism has grown less effective as regional strategic challenges have evolved. It has suffered from restricted scope and oversight domain, nondemanding and minimalist norms, and great powers in collusion with smaller states opting for “soft” balancing more than regional “rules of the game.” Overlapping institutions are helpful in muting security dilemmas, but they fail to regulate great power relations through institutionalized understandings about rules of conduct and conflict management.

ASEAN+3, created in 1997, is the most established East Asian economic cooperation institution, which has spawned a number of free trade agreements and more significantly, regional financial cooperation mechanisms such as the Chiang Mai Initiative regional currency swap facilities. The EAS is an annual meeting of the ASEAN+3 plus India, Australia, and New Zealand begun in 2005, and expanded to include the United States and Russia in 2011, which also addresses political and security issues but in smaller groupings than the ARF. The ADMM was inaugurated in 2006 and expanded in 2010 to include all EAS members (ADMM+). From 2011 the ADMM+ included the United States and Russia.
