Abstract
In 2010 regional security in Southeast Asia was affected by three major developments: increased tensions in Sino-American relations, U.S. re-engagement with the region, and Chinese assertiveness in the South China Sea. Each of these developments when taken in combination posed a challenge to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ (ASEAN) self-proclaimed role as the “primary driving force” in regional affairs. ASEAN weathered these challenges and by year’s end demonstrated that ASEAN continued to remain central to the region’s security architecture.
