The Securitization Process within the ASEAN
In this chapter the thesis strives for the identification and presentation of the region as
the basis for the later Regional Security Complex application; for the key actors of the
securitization process; aims to name and explain the major securitization topics in a way
that they could be further applied to the sectors of the analysis. Within the regional
security dynamism presentation, the referential objects are introduced. Into the analysis
the facilitating conditions for securitization are elaborated.
Further the chapter identifies the main securitization actors and classifies them into the
three categories: The regional national states’ securitization, the securitization actors
within the ASEAN groupings which are either exclusive just for the ASEAN members
states and then inclusive also for the out-regional actors that engage into the ASEAN
