Abstract

ASEAN has declared itself as the ASEAN Community in 2015. For this reason, ASEAN has three pillars: the economic pillar, the political -security pillar, and the social- cultural pillar. As a security community, the depth of these three pillars can, of course, be measured. To measure this, this research intends to measure the level of depth of the ASEAN security community on the Indonesia - Malaysia border. This research uses qualitative research with primary sources of information, interviews, and official government documents. This research uses a security community analysis framework. The results of this research are (1) ASEAN has a framework for moving towards an ASEAN security community, (2) in the process of forming an ASEAN security community, there are differences in depth between pillars where the socio-cultural pillar is slower, (3) this results in "we feeling" as the ASEAN community is not felt by the people on the Indonesia-Malaysia border
