| The non-traditional security factors are keeping increasing, such as the security of grain, energy, environment, and so on, which take people's attention today. Terrorism, as one of the important contents of non-traditional security, is the focus of attention in many countries. Terrorism in Southeast Asia is the result of many factors: Unbalanced economic development is the root causes of terrorism; Religious extremism and National separatism in Southeast Asia are the ideal causes of terrorism; Long-term colonization in the region is the historical causes of terrorism; The United States counter-terrorism strategy and other terrorist organizations' interference like "Al Qaeda" are the external factors of terrorism. These factors interact to make the terrorism in Southeast Asian become increasingly rampant. Terrorists take a series of activities, give the local population enormous casualties and property losses, the ASEAN's international status is impact. Therefore the fight against terrorism has become an urgent task of the ASEAN countries. ASEAN in the fight against terrorism has taken on a cooperative attitude.Neoliberal Institutionalism think, mutual interdependence between countries make country's cooperation to become possible, such cooperation promote interdependence among countries. ASEAN counter-terrorism cooperation is also followed this model. ASEAN take promoting international cooperation and maintaining regional stability as the goal. After years the ASEAN countries in economy, trade, security and other fields has been deeply dependence, which makes cooperation between countries possible. The threat of terrorism made ASEAN cooperation. It should be noted that ASEAN's cooperation against terrorism is not a easy duplicate, but rather formed a lot of effective regimes, which is discussed in the thesis of "the institutionalization of the construction". These increased anti-terrorism cooperation to a new height. It is these effective regimes to make the anti-terrorism in Southeast Asia effective and lasting. ASEAN's anti-terrorism cooperation is a long-term process, the institutionalization process. During this period there is much experience in the Singapore and the Thailand. Of course, the institutionalization of the process there are also lot of negative factors, for example, ASEAN's adherence to the "balance-of-power diplomacy" on the anti-terrorism cooperation. And all countries' have different national conditions. The ASEAN's own system also exist defective factors.Down this thought, the structure of the article have four chapters to describe the problem: The first chapter is about the relevance of non-traditional security theory; The second chapter describe terrorism in Southeast Asia and anti-terrorism cooperation; The third chapter are on the institutionalization of anti-terrorism cooperation construction; The fourth chapter stresses problems in the institutionalization of ASEAN cooperation and the learning from experience. |
