THE ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY: A WORK IN PROGRESS [5 December 2013]

Description

 

This book analyzes the barriers and impediments to realizing the ASEAN Economic Community by 2015. Specifically, it explores

• whether the ASEAN Economic Community is achievable by 2015,

• the obstacles along the way in achieving it, and

• the measures needed for its eventual achievement.

 

Although the self-imposed deadline for the realization of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is 2015, it should not be viewed as a hard target. One should not expect 2015 to see ASEAN suddenly transformed, its nature and processes abruptly changed, its members’ interests substantially altered. Rather, 2015 should be viewed more as a milestone year — a measure of a work in progress — rather than as a hard target year.

 

Nevertheless, the commitments to the various dimensions of an AEC do reflect the value placed by the ASEAN member countries on regional economic integration, and give them something to both invoke and aspire for.
