The recent proliferation of theories of international relations has
transformed analyses of Southeast Asia's international affairs. A
new generation of scholars has promoted a lively and illuminating
debate which has seen the traditional realist/ neorealist approach,
which continues to hold centre stage, challenged by constructivist
analyses. In turn, constructivists have found themselves under fire
from an array of competing approaches. This collection engages this
emerging debate. It underscores the point that Southeast Asia is
now an important site for applying new theories of international
relations. It also demonstrates that theoretical frameworks
originally developed in North America and Europe have to be adapted
to the specific circumstances found in places like Southeast Asia
and that this process can enrich theory building. The chapters in
this book focus on the realist/neorealist, constructivist, English
School and critical approaches. The resulting debate helps to shed
light on ways of analysing Southeast Asian relations as well as on
the evolution of these key theoretical frameworks. This book was
published as a special issue of The Pacific Review.
