Abstract
The papers by Colin Munro, Roberta Ballabio and Nele Noesselt are joined together by two themes: first, that the prospects for establishing a collective security system in the region are rather remote, at least for the near future; and second, that East Asia is a region where mutual trust has been difficult to build. The possible avenues for building trust are explored, especially in the papers by Munro and Ballabio. Colin Munro reminds us that, in the case of East Asia, it is bilateral mechanisms, the Six Party Talks (SPT), and the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) that are the primary tools for managing disputes. Munro's and Ballabio's papers also address in a more general sense how trust can be generated in East Asia. They both agree that the key to productive and peaceful change is reducing North Korea's sense of insecurity. Keywords:ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF); Colin Munro; collective security system; Nele Noesselt; North Korea; Roberta Ballabio
