MODEL ASEAN MEETING: A GUIDEBOOK UNDERSTANDING ASEAN PROCESSES AND MECHANISMS Model ASEAN Meeting: A Guidebook FOREWORD The ASEAN Foundation Model ASEAN Meeting (AFMAM) is a unique platform that not only enables youth to learn about ASEAN and its decision-making process effectively through an authentic learning environment, but also encourages the creation of a peaceful commu- nity and tolerance towards different value and cultural background. Through AFMAM, we also wanted to produce a cohort of ASEAN youth that has the capabilities to create and run their own Model ASEAN Meeting (MAM) at their own universities, initiating a ripple effect that helps spread MAM movement across the region. One of the key instruments to achieve these objectives is the AFMAM Guidebook. First created in 2016, the AFMAM Guidebook plays an important role in outlining the mecha- nisms and structures in ASEAN that can be used as a reference for delegates to implement activities and have a broader understanding of ASEAN affairs.

  • The Use and Abuse of the “ASEAN Way” I. Introduction
    2017/06/26 DISCUSSION PAPERS The Use and Abuse of the “ASEAN Way” Iwao Fujisawa The Use and Abuse of the “ASEAN Way” Iwao Fujisawa∗ I. Introduction What contribution has ASEAN made to the improvement of political and social conditions of Myanmar? Some might say that their contribution is outstanding. Others might argue that their influence has been negligible compared to the pressure exerted by the United States and European countries. What is notable is that the answer to this question is to some extent dependent on the one’s view on the ASEAN’s time-honored policy of non-intervention in the affairs of other states. When the domestic conditions of Myanmar began to deteriorate in 1990s, Western developed countries sharply denounced the military regime of Myanmar and imposed sanctions in order to isolate Myanmar in the international community. However, ASEAN and its member states were critical of such policies because they were hostile and interventionist. They instead advocated the “constructive engagement” policy, stressing dialogue and persuasion as the appropriate means to improve the situation in Myanmar. A former ASEAN official argued that economic sanctions were generally not effective in attaining the regime change and those imposed by the United States and European countries only harmed the people of Myanmar. In his opinion, although the constructive engagement with Myanmar did not bring about regime change either, it could attain some improvement in the living standard of the people of Myanmar through its integration in the global economy, that is, through opening foreign markets for products of Myanmar and inducing foreign investment into Myanmar.

  • Revisiting the “Myth” of the Asean Way: Recent Legal Developments on Transboundary Haze*
    Indonesian Journal of International Law (2018), Vol. 15 No. 4, pp. 553 - 579 http://dx.doi.org/10.17304/ijil.vol15.4.739 REVISITING THE “MYTH” OF THE ASEAN WAY: RECENT LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS ON TRANSBOUNDARY HAZE* Helena Varkkey** ** University of Malaya, Malaysia Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract The Southeast Asian region has experienced transboundary haze on an almost annual basis for decades. ASEAN has been the platform for regional cooperation and collaboration for regional haze mitigation since 1985. ASEAN’s main legally-binding instrument for this purpose is the 2012 Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution (ATHP). Despite this, haze episodes continue to persist until present times. This paper analyses recent legal developments related to transboundary haze management among the three main affected countries; Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. Particularly, it examines Singapore’s Transboundary Haze Pollution Act, an extra-territorial act that extends criminal and civil liability to anyone causing or contributing to haze in Singapore. It also analyses Indonesia’s ratification of the ATHP, which followed soon after Singapore unilaterally passed their Act. Finally, it considers Malaysia’s indecisiveness in deciding its next legal move in the face of these developments among its neighbours. The ASEAN Way, a set of behavioural or procedural norms that govern regional engagement, prescribes non- legalistic procedures and non-interference of sovereign rights, among others. This paper uses the framework of the “myth” of the ASEAN Way, popularly argued by Nischalke in 2000, to explain the changing positions of the associated states towards legal recourse related to transboundary haze. It argues that ASEAN member states can choose whether or not to adhere to the ASEAN Way in order to preserve crucial economic interests, without suffering any consequences.

More recently, uncertainty in the context of China’s rise sheds doubt on ASEAN’s apparent centrality to its proced- urally driven transformation of foreign relations across East Asia. While theories of cooperation explain why and when minor powers choose to pool their resources, the reverse logic has hardly been considered. This paper shows that the particular type of ASEAN regionalism is not only a product of weak states’ cooperation but that the lack of capacity also sets the limits for the regional project.

The analysis contends that the extent of extremist Islamic infiltration of the region was obscured by governmental rhetoric, along with much Western opinion, which argued erroneously that ASEAN was following a unique developmental path based on shared regional values that had resulted in economic growth and political stability.

Pehin Dato Lim Jock Seng (Brunei Darussalam) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. ASEAN Leaders mandated us, the Eminent Persons Group (EPG) on the ASEAN Charter to consider bold and visionary ideas to strengthen ASEAN. We highlight below some of our key recommendations which are more fully elaborated in our Report of the EPG to ASEAN Leaders, which contains our Recommendations for Inclusion in the ASEAN Charter. 2. After 40 years ASEAN is now at a critical turning point. Although ASEAN is one of the most successful regional organisations today, there is no guarantee that it will continue to be relevant in the coming decades and remain the driving force in regional cooperation. While the ASEAN Charter will bring about a long overdue legal framework, ASEAN must reposition itself. It must address the growing challenges and opportunities of regional integration, the major shifts in the Asian landscape brought about by the rise of China and India and Asia's widening links with the rest of the world.

Iain Johnston Yongwook Ryu Identity and Security: Identity Distance Theory and Regional Affairs in Northeast and Southeast Asia Abstract The dissertation explores the relationship between identity and international security, and tests the effect of the former on the latter by analyzing a set of puzzling phenomena in East Asia—the emergence of mutual threat perception in Sino-Japanese relations; increasingly conflictual relations between Korea and Japan after Korea’s democratization; the establishment of a regional human rights mechanism by ASEAN; and the settlement of key territorial disputes by Southeast Asian nations. Coupled with the diverging frequency of militarized interstate disputes between both regions, these phenomena suggest that Northeast Asia (NEA) has become a region of conflict with high tensions, while Southeast Asia (SEA) has increasingly developed into a region of peace with decreasing tension. The dissertation advances a new theoretical framework, namely, identity distance theory, to understand these puzzling phenomena.
