mods: ASEAN resistance to sovereignty violation interests, balancing and the role of the vanguard state Southgate, Laura creator author. JSTOR (Organization) text bibliography Electronic books. enk 2019 monographic eng remote 1 online resource Examining how the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' (ASEAN) has responded to external threats over the past 50 years, this book provides a compelling account of regional state actions and foreign policy in the face of potential sovereignty violation.
