The research objective is to explore and identify improving factors and hindering factors in the development of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) which is a comprehensive and cooperative security dialogue framework in the Asia-Pacific region. The region currently faces not only traditional security issues such as proliferation of nuclear weapon and territorial disputes, but also increasing non-traditional security issues such as terrorism, transnational crimes and natural disasters. The ARF has dealt with the above political and security issues for sixteen years, and has gradually developed its function, albeit at a slow pace. The 27 participant states include key regional actors such as the United States and China. Therefore, examining political interaction and consensus on various agendas in the ARF, particularly between key regional powers, is essential in understanding what factors are conducive to the development of regional security cooperation.
