ASEAN Myanmar coup

The designation never bodes well for the possibility of peaceful resolution to a crisis.

Hoang Thi Ha, Ja Ian Chong, and Evan A. Laksmana discuss ASEAN's regional role amid the Myanmar crisis and China-U.S. tensions.

The ASEAN summit’s failings demonstrate that standard diplomatic protocols are insufficient to deal with the Myanmar leadership. 

The outcome of the special summit reflected both ASEAN's limitations and the intractable nature of the country's crisis.

After chanting their opposition to the junta and listening to speeches, the protesters quickly scattered to avoid any confrontation with police or soldiers.

The leaders' absence doesn't bode well for ASEAN's ability to muster a united front against Myanmar's junta.

Despite the many political obstacles, an ASEAN-led option seems like the best of the bad options available.

The leaders of eight Southeast Asian nations, including Myanmar's junta leader Min Aung Hlaing, are confirmed attendees at the meeting.

At this weekend's summit, Southeast Asian leaders need to take a firm and principled stance.
