It isobvious to assert that a stable economic development requires a secure regional atmosphere.The traditional and nontraditional threats encounter ASEAN home land security. The mostprobable threats portraying ASEAN are hostile foreign entities infiltration, intra and inter statesdisputes, radical religious movements, human trafficking, drugs and narcotics smuggling, andeven cybercrimes. To this point, ASEAN has taken constructive measures such as establishingconsultative forums, the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), ASEAN Defense Minister’s Meeting(ADMM) and ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crimes (AMMTC). In 2009, ASEANadopted the ASEAN Political and Security Community. One of its stated purposes is to sharesecurity responsibility of each ASEAN member through constructivist approach. However,APSC has far of being success to achieve its ideal mission. Therefore, this piece would criticallyexamined the fundamental questions: how does ASEAN security policy through APSC meet itsinterest to secure ASEAN region? To search for the answer it would apply constructivismapproach. Constructivism ponders the significance role of regional security institution such asAPSC in security structure. It suggests that regional security community should be build basedon shared values among states in a region. Constructivist’s regional security model will be usedas the explanatory model for APSC case. While the Regional Security Complex (RSC) theorywould be employed to analyze the security dynamic is ASEAN. Itargues that the APSC is able tocreate pivotal security forums but lack of confidence in tactical level. It also suggest thatAPSC’s policies are laid in triangualar basis; rely on dialogue, establishing forums andinnitiatives, and rely on non-legal binding principle.
