bodia has participated well in solving food security issue. Evidently, Cambodia is still a developing country, and it experts in producing agricultural products. The amount of agricultural products in Cambodia not only can provide enough food to its own citizens, but it also has the ability to export the products to the other countries as well; as a result, ASEAN does not have to care much about the food security in the region. In addition, Cambodia also helps ASEAN to maintain the price of rice not to appreciate. If Cambodia does not export the agricultural products, the price of rice in the region may go up because the amount of rice supply will be decreased. In brief, health security and food security are the two main features which Cambodia has performed well in the security role.

To sum up, although Cambodia does not have the potential to act like other developed countries in ASEAN, Cambodia does try to maximize its role in APSC with the intention of achieving the APSC by 2020. In my point of view, I strongly believe that Cambodia would be able to help more as Cambodia has been improving itself day by day.

以未来视角看待柬埔寨对东盟的影响-The future perspectives of ASEAN toward Cambodia

As stated in the previous parts, it shows that the other ASEAN member states and Cambodia have been relying on each other in terms of economy, politics and security issues. Certainly, those other states and Cambodia are not only engaging with one another for the present time, but they will also connect together in the future. As a result, they will have their own perceptions toward each other because they want to develop themselves. Specifically, democratization can be the main objective which ASEAN will influence Cambodia in order to meet its requirement to become a more prosperous regional community.

There are two main reasons why ASEAN want Cambodia to develop itself into a democratic country: geopolitical factor and regional factor. First, 'Based on geopolitical factor, if ASEAN is not democratized, it could be economically absorbed by either forces namely China or a wider East Asian regional grouping in which Japan and China are dominant.' (Leng & Chheang, 2009). For Cambodia, if it is still an authoritarian and non-democratic country, Cambodia will be easily influenced by the EAC countries, especially China. China is a communist party, and it has the policy of dealing with the issues individually with other states one by one, so China would give aids to Cambodia which is a non-democratic state, and those aids will split Cambodia from ASEAN. In terms of dealing with China's influence on Cambodia, ASEAN would not just stay still and let Cambodia become isolated because that isolation would affect the interest of ASEAN as a whole. In order to avoid the China's pressure, ASEAN will heighten the voice of Cambodia so that Cambodia would feel that it is relevant to the community and tilt back to ASEAN. Another reason for democratization is due to regional element. The regional factor is related to the socio-economic development. Precisely, some ASEAN countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines have caused the increase of middle class which aggressively pushes for democracy. Consequently, due to the fear of losing their own interest, those democratic states will try to ensure democracy and they will enforce both democratic and non-democratic states in the region.
