Description |
What can be drawn out of this paper is that European security will be very much closer to Europe's shores like Central and Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean Basin and the Middle East. At the wider level, it will be EU-US relations. However; with the development of the Common European Security and Defence Policy, it is said that the Rapid Reaction Force could operate far from Europe's shores. Will this include Asia? This is left to be seen as this Force remains nascent. For Asian states, do they have concern for European security? It appears that it remains to be much more declaratory within the ASEAN, ASEM or ARF context although we see contingents of Asian troops in Bosnia for example. There seems to be the attitude that the Europeans themselves can deal with their own security.Key words: Security, ASEAN, Europe, AsiaABSTRAKApa yang boleh digarap daripada makalah ini ialah bahawa aspek keselamatan Eropah adalah lebih rapat atau berkaitan dengan apa yang berlaku di Eropah Tengah dan Timur, kawasan Mediterranean dan Timur Tengah. Pada peringkat yang lebih luas, ia meliputi hubungan Kesatuan Eropah dan Amerika Syarikat. Walau bagaimanapun, dengan adanya perkembangan mengenai Keselamatan Bersama Eropah (Common European Security) dan Dasar Pertahanan, maka konsep Rapid Reaction Force (RRF) dianggap boleh beroperasi walaupun di tempat yang jauh jaraknya dari Eropah. Adakah konsep ini akan meliputi Asia? Hal ini masih belum terjawab kerana RRF ini masih agak baru lagi. Bagi negara-negara Asia pula, adakah mereka prihatin terhadap keselamatan Eropah? Nampaknya, keprihatinan itu masih berlegar pada tahap perisytiharan sahaja dalam ASEAN, ASEM ataupun ARF, sungguhpun terdapat pasukan tentera Asia bertugas di Bosnia, misalnya. Seolah-olah terdapat suatu sikap bahawa penduduk Eropah boleh menangani sendiri hal-hal berkaitan keselamatan mereka.Kata kunci: keselamatan, ASEAN, Eropah, Asia
