dc.description.abstract
The Organization of African Unity (OAU) and the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN) were both born to stabilise vulnerable state borders by
practising non-interference in domestic affairs. Today, the OAU’s successor,
the African Union (AU), uses sanctions against unconstitutional changes of
government, while ASEAN continues to rule out any collective punitive action
against members. To explain these divergent trajectories, this article first
shows how different traditions produced different ways of engaging with
sanctions in the early formative cases of South Africa and Vietnam.
Thereafter, it examines how these traditions were selectively re-thought when
confronted with the dilemmas of international sanctions against Libya and
Myanmar. The interpretive approach enables a nuanced account of continuity and
change in beliefs about sanctions. The AU’s sanctions doctrine has updated
rather than broken with a traditional interpretation of non-interference. For
ASEAN, the longstanding tradition of informality – and not strict adherence to
non-interference – has continued to rule out regional sanctions.
