| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 東南亞研究所 === 99 === With the impact of global climate changes, each state is facing the crucial challenges from the environment’s backlash. The frequency of natural disasters is unprecedented and the impact of these disasters has affected people's lives and socio-economic stability and development, especially for Southeast Asia people who are suffering those kinds of natural disasters. This thesis is based on a non-traditional security perspective and try to describe the Southeast Asia‘s environmental problems and to explore the ASEAN response to environmental threats within the region. The Indonesian haze problem and Southeast Asia's food security crisis are two cases analyzed in this thesis that try to discuss the following question: Does the “ASEAN WAY ” can constructively help to reach the ASEAN Security Community goal to build a regional regime to prevent transnational threats to environmental security?
From the perspective of non-traditional security, the threat posed by environmental disasters in the Southeast Asia could be analyzed with diversity and cross region characteristics. Therefore, those environmental security problems will not only challenge to one country’s internal individual problems, but also implicated in the Southeast Asia region or even other countries. The environmental disaster will bring continuous reactions and the impact will not only affect for local people's livelihood and social stability, but may challenges to the ability of national governance and the legitimacy of the State. As indicated in this thesis, the solutions to non-traditional security threats will not only relied on traditional safety management, but the necessity of a new security concept and the integration of comprehensive methods to respond to the challenges of ASEAN's environmental problems.
