SECURITY COMPLEX
A security complex is defined as a group of states
whose primary security concerns link together
sufficiently closely that their national securities
cannot realistically be considered apart from one
another (Buzan, 1983, 106)
SECURITY ARCHITECTURE?
scholars and practitioners of Asian security have
ended up using a common term to describe a
range of structures and processes related to
cooperative activity. (Tow, W.T. and Taylor, B., 2010)
However
There has been no commensurate body of work yet
offered that comprehensively defines or explains
security architecture theoretically or which
describes how that concept is generally applied to
Asian security politics.
