Join Aarie Glas as he explores how ASEAN’s internal contestation has shaped its response to the 2021 coup in Myanmar.

This presentation explores ASEAN’s response to the 2021 coup in Myanmar. While scholars and practitioners often portray ASEAN as a relatively cohesive community of states, united by a long-held and stable set of norms—the 'ASEAN way'—this presentation argues that the response to the coup has been shaped by internal contestation. Drawing from the speaker’s recent article, it examines how ASEAN’s actions reflect tensions between two competing normative impulses among organisational elites: centrality and non-interference. The presentation traces the evolution of this contestation, contextualising it within ASEAN’s previous challenges, including the humanitarian crisis following Cyclone Nargis in 2008, the Rohingya crisis after 2016, and the military coup of 2021.
