Abstract

Since the end of the Cold War, the mission of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has broadened dramatically to encompass a much wider range of economic and socio-cultural matters in the region as well as security, while its membership now includes virtually all of continental and maritime Southeast Asia. In 2003, the ASEAN states issued the Bali Concord II, which called for the creation of an ASEAN Community by the year 2015, with a single market and production base comprising free flow of goods, services, investment, and skilled labor, as well as a freer flow of capital. In addition, the ASEAN Community would be increasingly governed by rules rather than informal norms, a potentially significant step underscored by the full ratification of the ASEAN Charter in 2008, which formally established the Association’s legal personality.

For their helpful comments on previous drafts, I wish to thank Vinod K. Aggarwal, Kristi Govella, Nina Kelsey, Alisa Modica, Sherry Stephenson, and the participants of the two conferences on “Linking Trade, Traditional Security, and Human Security: Lessons from Europe and the Americas and Implications for Asia.” All errors are solely my responsibility. I also wish to thank Sara Newland, the Berkeley APEC Study Center, the East-West Center in Honolulu, and the Asan Institute for Policy Studies.
