Abstract


The Indo-Pacific is a dynamic region with various opportunities for cooperation. However, there are also challenges and threats. Various influences from countries compete in this region, which can disrupt regional stability. Southeast Asia is located in the middle of the Indo-Pacific region, so ASEAN has an interest in ensuring the regional dynamics are stable, safe, and peaceful by leading the formation of the regional economic and security architecture. The development of this regional architecture is intended to maintain ASEAN's centrality with the creation of the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific. Under this outlook, ASEAN is establishing ASEAN+1 cooperation with Australia in the Aus4ASEAN cooperation program. This study aims to determine the effect of the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific mechanism on achieving regional stability through the implementation of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in the Aus4ASEAN cooperation program using the Regional Security Complex Theory and the concept of community security. A qualitative approach is used in this study as a guide for analysis. The results of the study explain that regional stability can be achieved through various collaborations with neighboring countries in the region. This is based on the explanation of the Regional Security Complex Theory. With the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific Mechanism, Australia emphasizes the importance of ASEAN's priorities, namely regional stability. Thus, this affects the stability of the region in Aus4ASEAN cooperation because Australia's main focus is supporting ASEAN's centrality. A stable area is able to fulfill community security needs for the community in the area.
