The United Nations (UN) General Assembly and the UN Security Council adopted resolutions in 2016 to review the UN peacebuilding architecture and formally introduce the concept of sustaining peace. Since then, the sustaining peace agenda has gradually become the core strategy of the UN's peace efforts. The agenda emphasizes capacity-building for conflict prevention at the regional level. In response to the escalating international security challenge, regional organizations have become increasingly prominent in the international peace and security agenda. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as the center of regional cooperation processes in the Asia-Pacific, has established a series of norms and instruments related to conflict prevention.

This book aims to promote discussions on linking conflict prevention and/or preventive diplomacy activities in the region with the sustaining peace agenda promoted by both the ASEAN on a regional scale and the UN on a global scale. In collaboration between the ASEAN Institute for Peace and Reconciliation (ASEAN-IPR) and China Foreign Affairs University (CFAU), the book provides discussions from the perspectives of both Chinese and ASEAN scholars on traditional and emerging topics related to sustaining peace, conflict prevention, conflict management, and conflict resolution.

The book explores the role of regional organizations in sustaining peace, including their contributions to conflict prevention, conflict management, and conflict resolution. It also examines the challenges and opportunities for regional cooperation in addressing global peace and security issues. The chapters in the book are written by experts from both China and ASEAN, providing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective on sustaining peace and conflict resolution.

The book is intended to be a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in understanding the role of regional organizations in sustaining peace and promoting global security. It will also be useful for students and researchers in the fields of international relations, peace studies, and conflict resolution.
