Everyone has their own standards of security that makes them all debates which is the true meaning of security. Even though some will wholeheartedly agree that "Peace" means "Security", but is that all of it? Not to mention the way to achieve that certain condition. There are many theories that define their own definition of Security. In this paper we will cover four theories, their concept of security, and the critiques of the implementation of the concept. Those theories we will cover are Realism, Liberalism, Marxism, and English School.

Most of Marxist, Neo-Marxist, and Structuralism theorists proclaim that this condition is natural and stagnant without giving any solutions to overcome it. Nevertheless, there are some arguments between the concrete theories of Neo-Marxism that offers solution to face such issue. In this paper, with a relevant case of the undergoing negotiations of Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement between European Union and Indonesia, I offered several solutions to overcome asymmetrical interdependency and in the same time dissolve the gap between core and peripheral states.
