The members of one community may share their ideas about some specific issues and have policy convergence to a certain extent. In 2003, the member states of ASEAN endorsed the Bali Concord II, which established a vision for the goal of integration through three pillars on security, economic, and social-culture. In 2009, the Roadmap for an ASEAN Community was issued, which reaffirms the commitment to accelerating the establishment of regional community. The formal establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, as part of the ASEAN Community, marks an important milestone. However, because political disparities and economic development gaps between member states remain stark, it has been difficult to establish a shared common identity and to harmonize members' policies regarding the common affairs of ASEAN. Based on the case study of governing food security, this paper demonstrates that member states still prefer a self-help approach or unappreciative participation. In other words, ASEAN just established a formally integrated community instead of a community with substantial union. |
