| description | Amid the US-China rivalry, the ASEAN role and future economic cooperation
are uncertain. Deploying a qualitative approach based on documents as sources
of data, this study aims to suggest democratic leadership as an intervening
variable and examines future possibilities of the ASEAN role and economic
cooperation under the US-China rivalry. There are three ASEAN's role future
possibilities under the US-China rivalry: the honest broker (best-case scenario),
a partial mediator (moderate-case scenario), and a dysfunctional organisation
(worst-case scenario). The gradations linearly demonstrated an interlinked
connection between the cooperation engagement and outcome possibilities. This
study found that the best-case prospect, "an honest broker" could be materialised
by implementing democratic leadership, an equally distributed, empowered,
egalitarian decision-making kind of leadership determined by willingness,
capacity, and acceptance. It could optimally encourage internal economic
development and effectively manage cooperation with both parties through the
distribution of responsibility, group member empowerment, and assisting all
members in decision-making |
