Cultural factors as key components for optimised International Cooperations: A case study of ASEAN and Western differences
คำสำคัญ:
International collaboration, Cultural Understanding, Social Identity Theoryบทคัดย่อ
Maritime security is crucial for the Indo-Pacific region since it serves as a critical component of both global logistics and economic stability. However, the region’s security landscape is both traditionally and non-traditionally complex and contested. International cooperation, therefore, is often observed as tangible solutions to tackling these challenges. Yet, the existing cooperative mechanisms have been questioned by their overlapping complexity of alliances leading to challenges in balancing interests especially a collaboration of ASEAN and Western nations where differences have been noticed and somehow regressing trust. Contemporarily, a simple factor as culture has played a vital role in shaping security perspectives, as illustrated by the U.S.'s overlooked cultural considerations in Iraq and Afghanistan, which impacted operational success (Gorka, 2016). Integrating cultural understanding within security frameworks (through a theory like Social Identity Theory: SIT) may optimise cooperation, particularly with ASEAN participants, by deepening trust and shared identity. While cultivating a shared perception of common interests is challenging and time-consuming to assess, cultural engagements can offer a more effective approach to fostering cooperation and partnerships that benefit existing cooperations through elementarily undemanding processes as language participation, tradition and culture immersion, and multi-level relationships. This qualitative-approach paper aims to provides actionable strategies for enhancing ASEAN-Western cooperation through culturally tailored trust-building measures by provoking a sense of “us” toward partnership.
