ASEAN's role in the Indo-Pacific: rules-based order and regional integrity

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Since its establishment in 1967, ASEAN has been seen as an honest broker for peace in Southeast Asia and it has been the main driving force of regional and inter-regional dialogues and cooperation in East Asia in the post-Cold War era. 2 Due to the diversity of culture, history, political systems, and economic development among its members, ASEAN functions as a loose association of cooperation under the “ASEAN Way,” based on the principles of non-intervention and consensus decision-making. During the 1990s, it grew to the current 10 members and initiated community-building efforts among them. In 2007, members agreed on the ASEAN Charter, which articulates not only innocuous ideas, such as consensus or unity in diversity, but also somewhat ambitious norms and principles, including democracy, rule of law, and basic human rights.
