ABSTRACT

In 1967, the formalization of ASEAN occurred when Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines signed the Declaration of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Bangkok. Since its establishment, ASEAN has remained steadfast in its commitment to addressing regional security challenges and advancing economic development and solidarity through the promotion of peace and stability in the region. ASEAN's pivotal role in resolving regional issues cannot be overstated. On November 4, 2002, China and ASEAN inked the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC). Although the implementation of the DOC has not produced significant outcomes thus far, it is regarded by ASEAN countries as a pivotal moment in addressing the South China Sea dispute. This paper employs NVivo to analyze the context of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, aiming to delve into ASEAN's approach to the South China Sea issue.
