摘要 In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) organization expanded its agenda to incorporate counter-terrorism and human security concerns. While the inclusion of security issues has broadened APEC`s policy agenda and successfully maintained the visibility of the organization, it has also resulted in functional overlap with other Asia-Pacific regional institutions. As the functional expansion of APEC changed its nature from an economic-centered institution to a broader-focused one, APEC`s agenda has been losing its distinctiveness vis-à-vis ASEAN+3 and various other regional institutions. Furthermore, the expansion of the APEC agenda has not been accompanied by a sufficient enhancement of its institutional structure. To cope with these challenges, APEC needs to clarify the scope and value of its security agenda and engage in inter-institutional coordination with other regional institutions to maintain its utility and salience in the Asia-Pacific region.
