MULTILATERAL SECURITY STRUCTURES IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC SPACE.

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IS AN AREA WHERE ASEAN (SPECIFIC INSTITUTION SOUTHEAST ASIA) MAY CONTRIBUTE BUT DON'T GET INVOLVED (NORTH KOREA, CHINA-TAIWAN, SITUATED IN NORTH-EAST ASIA), BUT NOT IN THE CASE OF MILITARY INCIDENTS (THE CLASH BETWEEN CHINA'S PATROL VESSELS AND PHILIPPINE, VIETNAMESE EXPLORATION VESSEL BLOCKAGE BY CHINA, BORDER CLASHES BETWEEN THAILAND AND CAMBODIA) LEAVING THEM IN CHARGE OF INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMACY. TAIWAN, A TRIANGLE OF BILATERAL RELATIONS OVERLAPS ON A DIPLOMATIC FUND WHICH PREVENTED THE OUTBREAK OF CONFLICT BROKE OUT OPENLY, MUCH MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN ANY REGIONAL INSTITUTIONAL FORMAT. IN EAST ASIA, OUTBREAKS OF CRISIS THAT CAN ESCALATE INTO AN ARMED CONFLICT - THE KOREAN PENINSULA AND THE TAIWAN STRAIT TO WHICH IT ADDS THE DISPUTES RELATED TO ARCHIPELAGOS FROM THE EAST CHINA SEA SOME UNDER THE CONTROL OF CHINA. THE MIMETIC ADOPTION OF THE OSCE MODEL IN SEARCH OF THE LEGITIMACY FOR THE REGION OF SOUTHEAST ASIA, NAMELY THE ASEAN AS A SECURITY INSTITUTION WITH AN AGENDA OF ITS OWN IS THE MAIN PURPOSE FOR LONG TIME.
