Regional approaches to promote international peace and security are regaining prominence in today's post-cold war environment. In Southeast Asia, calls for the establishment of a Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality [ZOPFAN) as a means of reducing tension and preventing conflict have been revived. However, the assumptions underscoring the "peace through neutrality" component are not well-founded and the concept of neutrality is not relevant to contemporary circumstances. The "peace through law" and "peace through regional cooperation" components provide a better basis for developing a more broad-based, multi-layered framework for peace and security in the region. The article also stresses the importance of regional community-building, and the political and socio-economic development of the countries in the region. The proposed framework seeks to actively engage the extra-regional powers in this process instead of excluding them.
