South
China Sea has become an area where power politics
continue to play out in each
passing day. Though, there have not been the use of force
by any claimant, the
intense nature of the dispute is exacerbated by the power
politics between
China and United States. The dispute is between six
states China, Brunei,
Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines and Taiwan, with China and
Taiwan the only non-
Association of South East Asian (ASEAN) members. The
dispute and the power
politics are not unconnected with the strategic, economic
and political
significance of the sea to not only the claimants but non-
claimants like United
States. At the centre of the dispute is China with its
nine-dash line claims
which encompass all the islands the Spratlys, the
Paracels, the Pratas and
the Macclesfield Bank. As a regional grouping with
committed responsibilities,
this paper interrogates ASEAN s role in the dispute and
argues that there is a
large divide that affects the potency and masculinity of
ASEAN to act; a divide
that is caused by intra-ASEAN disjoint and incursion of
United States. China is
at the centre of the causes of the divide. Sufficiently
relying on the existing
related literatures (secondary sources) for proper
analysis with empirical data
in form of tables, the paper recommends that ASEAN needs
to recalibrate and
reinvent itself by forging a common bond against China
after reconciling their
overlapping claims, reconstructing the provisions of, and
strengthening the
enforcements of Declaration of Conduct of Parties (DOC),
ASEAN Regional Forum
(ARF) and East Asia Summit (EAS).
