초록

This article explains the US-China competition and Rimland ASEAN's value from a geopolitical perspective. First of all, the article focuses on realist theorists' pessimistic view in which they forecast an inevitable collision between the US, the maritime nation, and China, the nation who has been promoting maritime-centric policies when still being easily mistaken for a continental nation. The article is to take a closer look at the ASEAN's response to the US-China strategic competition, giving a brief review on how to answer following questions : "How much value indeed does ASEAN imply?" and "How does ASEAN deal with the US-China competition?" Before such a hard competition between the US and China, the direction of ASEAN's strategic foreign policy is rather clearly classified. Despite relative difference among its member states, the ASEAN as a whole tends to promote economic cooperation with China while maintaining a close relationship with the US in military sector. Nevertheless it makes continuous and eager efforts to cooperate with the two nations in a balanced manner in both economic and military sectors. In other words the ASEAN has recognized its inherent value and is effectively carrying out pragmatic foreign policy in a selective manner.
