Abstract
Abstract This study analysed the socio-ethno-religious divergences in Southeast Asia, and the role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The three main foci in this research are: 1) the dynamics of the social-ethnic and`religious divergences in Southeast Asia Nations; 2) factors causing the Southeast Asian social divergences; and 3) the role of ASEAN in the social divergence resolution strategy in Southeast Asia. The research method is qualitative. The data was colleted by using literature review. The results show that there are several factors that cause social-ethnic and religious divergences in Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Myanmar, Fhilipina, Thailand, and Malaysia. Those major factors are related to facilitating contexts: 'inheritance' of various colonial discriminatory policies, socio-economic and political imbalances, demographics, and minority-majority ethnic relations. The core of divergences are the level of social deprivation or an intolerable social marginalization, the tendency of socio-economic inequalities in a pluralistic society, differences and mental attitudes, differences of ethnicity, race, and religion, differences in cultural level and issues of majority-religious minorities. The fuse factors are the 'axes' of divergences that have been waiting to be ignited. Trigging factors are the momentum where various elements accumulated give rise to social-ethnic and religious divergences. The role of ASEAN in social-ethnic and religious divergence resolution strategies in Southeast Asia appears to be suboptimal due to the dilemma of the ASEAN mission relating to the ‘Non-Interference’ principle which prohibits the intervention of the internal affairs of a member country.
