I. Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, more commonly known as ASEAN, was established by Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand in 1967. After its independence from the United Kingdom, Brunei joined in 1984 and was then followed by Vietnam in 1995. Laos and Burma joined in 1997 and in 1999, Cambodia joined as their tenth member state. The creation of the ASEAN marks the institutionalization of the ties binding these nation states together. They not only shared geography; they also had history, culture and mutual interests to bring them together and to bring them forward as a region with strong economic, political, and social stability. The ASEAN’s land area, when combined, covers around 4.46 million km2 and they’re comprised of a population of around 600 million people. It’s combined nominal GDP has grown to larger than US $2.3 trillion and if taken as a singular entity, it ranks as the eighth largest economy in the world. The organization commands much greater influence on Asia-Pacific trade than its members do individually and as such, their work is based on consultation, consensus and cooperation. Considered as the ASEAN’s founding document, the ASEAN Declaration of 1967 formalized the principles of peace and cooperation that ASEAN holds as its

    Regional Integration for or Against Articles

    The ASEAN Pursues EU article provides one instance of a region in support of regional integration. “The European Union organized a group of nations with different currencies and languages - and profits followed” (Conde, 2007, para. 1). As per this article grouping currencies from various nations would assist regional integration, also assist the economic system of the region and build stronger relationships. The Association of Southeast Nations (ASEAN) desires to try the identical technique that the EU had earlier encouraged and integrate currencies in the areas. In the past former prime minister of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew had rejected this idea (Jazi, 2008). Instead, the prime minister believed that the country could achieve this objective but perhaps after 50-80 years. To start the process they would require writing a charter however the organization has opposed during the past because of the different financial systems in the region. This is currently in the starting phases however it has been stated that it will be a legally binding charter just like the one in the European Union, taking into consideration that any members who do not abide by this charts principles as well as procedures would need to incur on sanctions. To put it differently, ASEAN desires to turn…

    The Success of ASEAN as a Regional Mediator

    Developed in 1967 through the ASEAN Declaration (or Bangkok Declaration), the main objectives at the time of its inception were nation building, solidarity against communism and collective security; the notion of economic development was introduced after the Vietnam War during the late-1970s. The founding member states were Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand. ASEAN held the key values of “avoidance of armed conflict between member states, non-interference in the internal affairs of other member states, and decision-making by consensus”. However, its role has transformed throughout the years to encompass a much wider political and economic agenda. The development of ASEAN can be separated into two timelines; between 1967 to the late 1990s, and from then on to the present day. During the first 30 years, ASEAN’s main concern was regional security, which became the basis of the creation of Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (TAC); a document where the signatories “agreed not to use violence against each other” and outlined the principles to embody mutual respect and territorial…

    Is Asean a Toothless Tiger?

    Association of Southeast Asian (ASEAN) established officially on 8th August 1967 in Bangkok by the participating Government and its members were Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. Its purpose was to ensure the survival of its members by promoting regional stability and limiting competition between them.[1] The Bangkok Declaration gave birth to ASEAN and it states that the objectives of ASEAN are to accelerate the economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the region.[2] There are definitely some positive and negative perspectives on ASEAN especially when being struck by a few crises but on top of that, ASEAN is still breathing up till today. To today’s date, ASEAN is made up of 10 countries namely, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

    History of the ASEAN Formation

    In August 1967, when ASEAN was founded, Southeast Asia was at the center of world events. Indonesia had recently been at war with Malaysia, trying to prevent the creation of Malaysia out of former British colonies. The Second Indochina War was raging, following the withdrawal of France in 1954 and the end of the First Indochina War that year. In Malaysia, a powerful communist insurgency had only recently been defeated, while in Indonesia an army coup, launched in part to head off the rise of left-leaning political parties, had unleashed massive communal bloodshed. The Cultural Revolution and China’s support for several communist movements in Southeast Asia, as well as the region’s fears of the United States abandoning its commitment to Southeast Asia, led the noncommunist countries in the region to form ASEAN. The original five members Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines, varied from military dictatorships to city states to nascent democracies. ASEAN was founded with a limited charter, even compared to many other regional organizations. The goal was to preserve long-term peace in Southeast Asia and, by unifying, to balance the roles that outside powers, including the United States, China, and Japan, played in Southeast Asia. Even though the Second Indochina War ended in 1975, the region remained mired in Indochina politics until the late 1980s, and ASEAN’s mission evolved only marginally from its original goal. ASEAN also made little effort to push for greater regional integration or trade liberalization. Despite China’s economic opening in the late 1970s, China did not have formal relations with many Southeast Asian states and was a minor trading partner for the majority of the countries in the region by the late 1980s.…
