Security Challenges in Southeast Asian
Introduction
Southeast Asia continues to face various forms of security challenges that affect the country. Despite the increasing security challenges, Southeastern Asia still faces the challenge of dealing with the identified security issues. Southeastern Asian are still struggling to identify the most viable ways to respond to the security issues that continue to rise every day. The scope in the nature of the security is different, which also presents different ways of handling the security challenges. The challenges preventing an effective response to the security challenges are associated with a lack of adequate resources and a scarcity of technical capabilities that can be used to address the security threats affecting the Asian nations (Amri, 2015). Notably, Southeast Asia's increasing instabilities and conflicts are associated with human or nontraditional security challenges. Also, external threats due to advanced technologies and globalization continue to increase the security challenges in Southeast Asia (Ferguson, 2017). The government has always been under scrutiny and criticism for failing to address the country's security challenges.
Southeast Asia still faces conventional security threats attributed to territorial disputes, although they are said to have reduced in the last decade. A significant threat to security is non-conventional security issues contributed by international organized crime and international terrorism, illegal immigration, epidemics, shortage in energy, and irregular migrations. The ambiguity in globalization is highly associated with the increasing security threat that affects the country in various ways. The governments in Southeast Asia have concentrated more on economic development, sidelining the security threats that face this side of the world (Amri, 2015). Including the most powerful governments such as India and Asia. Although the creation of such policies aims to ensure that the countries attract more investors and the best technologies to contribute to the growth of the countries, it also contributes to security threats to Southeast Asia. However, the Southeast Countries need to understand that such policies are only essential in an environment free from conflicts, a peaceful international environment, and areas with no tension. Hence, globalization may also contribute to the negative security challenges encountered in Southeast Asia.
The security threats continue to increase in most of southeast Asia, attributed to international interventions from countries such as the United States, which has a history of armed conflict. There is a need to address the security threats by focusing on people-based solutions rather than military conflicts that contribute to the rising use of armed conflicts in the region (Ferguson, 2017). Most communities, individuals, and families are under the threat of military security, affecting their lives in various ways. However, there are limited resources and financial support to address the increasing security challenges in the environment. There are various types of security affecting Southeast Asia countries, including conventional and non-conventional security threats.
