    The Changing Role of Dialogue in the International Relations of Southeast Asia
    in Asian Survey , Vol. 51, No. 5, September/October ,  2011 ,  953-970
    ASEAN's dialogue mechanism has been evolving from consensus-seeking to strategic means, to use the Habermas distinction. This consensus norm was maintained during the Cold War because of rapport among ASEAN leaders and the presence of an external threat. However, ASEAN expansion to 10 countries, the emergence of non-traditional threats to security, and democratization have weakened this norm.
