In 2016, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly and the UN
Security Council respectively adopted resolutions on the review of
the UN peacebuilding architecture, and the concept of 'sustaining
peace' was formally presented. Since then, the 'sustaining peace'
agenda has gradually become the core strategy of the peace cause of
the UN. The agenda for sustaining peace emphasizes
capacity-building for conflict prevention at the regional
level.Faced with the escalation of the international security
challenge, regional organizations are increasingly playing a
prominent role. They have become important participants in the
international peace and security agenda by enhancing cooperation
with the UN. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as
the centre of regional cooperation processes in the Asia-Pacific,
established a series of norms and instruments related to conflict
prevention. This book intends to promote discussions on linking
conflict prevention and/or preventive diplomacy activities in the
region with the sustaining peace agenda promoted by both the ASEAN
on a regional scale and the UN on a global scale.In a collaboration
between the ASEAN Institute for Peace and Reconciliation
(ASEAN-IPR) and China Foreign Affairs University (CFAU), the book
provides discussions from the perspective of both Chinese as well
as ASEAN scholars on traditional, as well as emerging, topics on
sustaining peace, as well as conflict prevention, conflict
management, and conflict resolution.
Preventive diplomacy constitutes an important part of international
conflict resolution mechanisms. The countries in the Asia Pacific
region have the political will to use preventive diplomacy to
address the needs for sustaining peace and security. The challenge
is to find approaches compatible with the consensual norms, and
operational for tackling conflicts in the regional context.
Structured on this thematic challenge, this book aims to present
new approaches and practices of preventative diplomacy, inspired by
diplomatic innovation of Asia-Pacific countries and around the
world, such as adaptive peace approach, continental approach,
dominant coalition, and new leadership in peacebuilding, etc., and
takes account recent literature on normative issues relating to
preventative diplomacy, such as international rule of law,
normative entanglements and evolution, the international, impartial
and independent mechanism, the evolution of the norm against child
soldiers, the implementation of the woman peace and security
agenda, and the role of Jus Post Bellum in the UN peace operations.
It also examines how geopolitical competition and the recent
covid-19 crisis impact the security of the region, and explores the
connection between the Belt and Road Initiative and sustaining
peace of the region.This book is a valuable reading on the recent
development of approaches and norms of preventative diplomacy and
how they can contribute to sustaining peace of the Asia Pacific. It
can be used as a text for college students, researchers, and
practitioners in the disciplines of international relations,
political science, security studies, policy studies, diplomacy, and
social issues.

the world's most dynamic and fastest-growing regions over the
years. Its average combined GDP growth rate is more than 6% and the
total combined GDP was valued at US$3.0 trillion in 2018. ASEAN
countries have managed to significantly reduce their national

their basic needs including food, shelter, clothes and
sanitation.This book is a collection of working group papers

evaluates the way forward including existing joint projects,
opportunities, and challenges in the future cooperation and offers

of ASEAN-China strategic partnership and discussed the reports on
the 2030 Vision submitted by leading think tanks of all ASEAN
member states and China.The Network of ASEAN-China Think-tanks
(NACT) was proposed by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in 2013 to
contribute scholarly work to the 'diamond decade' of China-ASEAN
strategic partnership and to build a China-ASEAN community of
shared future. It was officially launched in 2014. So far, a
three-level working mechanism (including Country Coordinators'
Meeting, Working Group Meeting and Annual Seminar) has been built,

and institutionalized platform for think-tanks cooperation, NACT
serves to promote joint studies on ASEAN-China relations,
strengthen people-to-people ties and become a significant
supplement to Track I diplomacy.
