ASEAN's Myanmar Crisis: Challenges to the Pursuit of a Security Community

Christopher Roberts

This is the first comprehensive study of the tensions for ASEAN’s security community concept arising from Myanmar’s membership of ASEAN. Too much commentary about Myanmar is agenda-driven; this study is objective, meticulously researched, and finely balanced. Being an “outsider”, Christopher Roberts recognizes the dynamics that characterize these complex relationships, and analyses them with care and insight.
