The establishment of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN) in 1967 was the genesis for Southeast Asian regional integration.Although progress was slow during ASEAN’s first two decades, in thepost-Cold War era the pace of regional integration has been accelerating. Inparticular, since ASEAN member states set out their ‘Vision 2020’ in 1997and since the announcement of the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprintat the 2003 ASEAN Leaders Summit in Bali, Indonesia, the ASEANintegration project has been deepening as the grouping moves towards itsgoal of becoming a leading regional community for the 21st century. Fromthe three core principles underpinning current regional cooperation andintegration — peace, co-prosperity and systematization — this researchinvestigates the historical and strategic significance of ASEAN integrationafter fifty years. Further, it analyses the strategic opportunities and outcomesfrom the Philippine chairmanship of ASEAN in 2017. Finally, it concludesby examining what the next 50 years hold for the ASEAN community. |
