    Speech by the Secretary-General of ASEAN, Dr Surin Pitsuwan 2008 ASEAN Business and Investment Summit Bangkok, 26 February 2009 H.E. Governor of Bangkok Mr Arin Jira, Chairman of the ASEAN-Business Advisory Council Members of ABAC Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here today to talk about business in the marketplace of ASEAN. As you know, the ten economies of ASEAN are being integrated into an ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and implemented through the AEC Blueprint. This AEC Blueprint is the only one among the three that has been approved and is being implemented over the past year. I understand that you already have a preview of the AEC Blueprint yesterday. The AEC Blueprint is the roadmap of ASEAN integration. ASEAN would like to see the ten economies combine and become one market. ASEAN would like to be one market and an equitable landscape with not too much diversity and gaps. ASEAN would like to see all ten economies be competitive with the rest of the world and as one single production base integrated into the global economy. These are the goals. We have the strategies and projects to drive the ten markets into one single entity with 575 million consumers and the growing and rising middle-class, which is not much less than the middle-class of China and not less than the middle class of India. The purchasing power of the region is attractive for business, investors and MNCs. At the heart of our strategies is to reduce tariffs; eliminate non-tariff measures; reduce the gaps in order to increase purchasing power across ASEAN; attract investors; and, institute rules and regulations to protect investment and intellectual property.

  • ASEAN Cooperation: the Legacy of the Economic Crisis Etel Solingen
    International Relations of the Asia-Pacific Volume 5 (2005) 1–29 doi:10.1093/irap/lci101 ASEANEtel Solingen cooperation: the legacy of the economic crisis ASEAN cooperation: the legacy of the economic crisis Etel Solingen University of California Irvine, 2927 Woodwardia Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90077, USA. Email: [email protected] Abstract This article examines the implications of domestic political changes in the post-1997 era for ASEAN’s regional cooperation and institutionalization. The conceptual framework traces regional relations to the makeup and grand strategies of domestic coalitions (internationalizing, hybrid, backlash). Had some predictions in the immediate aftermath of the crisis been fulfilled, the advent of domestic backlash coalitions would have portended lower levels of regional cooperation. Alternatively, in the absence of changes in the funda- mental nature of most ruling coalitions after the crisis, ASEAN’s cooperative thrust was expected to be maintained. The article explores the extent to which ASEAN’s activities in the post-crisis era supports either of these two propositions. It finds that a shock of major proportions in Southeast Asia led to some immediate challenges to bilateral relations. At the same time, the aftermath of the crisis led to considerable multilateral and bilateral co- operation on economic issues, expansion, intervention, and security. Furthermore, cooperation may have indeed improved despite subsequent crises, including 9/11 and its aftermath. Yet no linear progression or irrevoc- able process towards internationalization or regional cooperation can be assumed. Alternative coalitions, and their potential for changing regional trajectories, must be reckoned with. 1 Introduction Following a history of deadly conflicts and heightened tension, inter-state conflict in Southeast Asia (SEA) has declined significantly in recent decades.

  • The Emerging Architecture of International Dispute Resolution
    SPAIN.DOC 11/23/2010 3:49 PM INTEGRATION MATTERS: RETHINKING THE ARCHITECTURE OF INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION ANNA SPAIN* ABSTRACT International law promotes global peace and security by providing mechanisms for the pacific settlement of international disputes. This Article examines these mechanisms and their place in the architecture of the international dispute resolution (“IDR”) system. The Article identifies three core deficiencies of the IDR system that limit its effectiveness and capacity. First, the international legal system has prioritized the development of adjudication over other forms of dispute resolution; the judicialization of international disputes and the proliferation of courts and tribunals evidence this. However, adjudication is limited in its capacity to resolve disputes that involve non-state parties and extra-legal issues. This is concerning because empirical studies show that international conflict is increasingly intra-state, and involves non-state actors and extra-legal issues. Second, states prefer mediation to adjudication as a method for resolving disputes that occur in the context of inter-state conflict. Yet the role and value of mediation have been underappreciated, and it lacks institutional support under international law. Third, the current architecture of the IDR system promotes single method approaches, which can foster fragmented IDR approaches that separate legal issues from extra-legal ones, despite their interconnected nature. It also fails to structurally incorporate emerging, hybrid IDR approaches that enhance IDR capacity. In * Associate Professor of Law, University of Colorado Law School.

  • Download Regional Conference
    ACKNOWLEDGMENT As ASEAN aspires to promote regional peace, stability and prosperity and become an effective community, there has been a relentless effort for the regional grouping to facilitate an even closer economic, political, social, and cultural cooperation. ASEAN also wishes to become a political and security community that is capable of managing regional tensions and preventing conflicts from flaring up. Notwithstanding positive developments, however, ASEAN still faces glaring challenges of both a traditional and non-traditional nature. These challenges include the unstoppable rise of China, the decline of the US and the deep flux of global institutional arrangements coupled with the ongoing territorial and sovereignty claims in the South China Sea. All of these pose serious uncertainty, as no one can predict the future of this region. As such, the Cambodian Institute for Cooperation and Peace feels that it is timely to organize a regional conference on “Cambodia and ASEAN: Managing Opportunity and Challenges beyond 2015 to determine how the future will hold for ASEAN. CICP would like to sincerely express deep appreciation to all the eminent speakers who are experts in their related fields from government officials and from other credible think-tanks in the region who have contributed their perspectives to address common challenges in the region of Southeast Asia, including Cambodia. CICP would also like to thank Mr. Rene Gradwohl, Country Representative of the Konrad- Adenauer Stiftung, for supporting the hosting of this regional conference and for the realization of this conference report which we hope will promote wider debates and interest on how ASEAN could revitalize its critical duties to deal with new challenges that have emerged.

U Aung Bwa Secretary General Director-Genearl Association of Southeast Asian Nations ASEAN National Secretariat - Myanmar ASEAN Secretariat Ministry of Foreign Affairs 70A Jalan Sisingamangaraja Pyay Road Jakarta 12110 Dagon Township Indonesia Yangon Myanmar Dear Secretary General & Director-General: I write on behalf of the New York City Bar, an independent nongovernmental organization, to express our concern over the recent crackdown on peaceful protestors in Myanmar, and the ongoing detention of activists and monks there under abusive conditions and without access to counsel. It is our hope that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will address these issues at the upcoming ASEAN meeting in Singapore on November 17, 2007; including a robust discussion on how the ASEAN member States and their partners, including China, can encourage the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) in Myanmar to ensure that peace, democracy, and human rights are respected and maintained. As ASEAN legislators from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand stated recently, “Burma is indeed a regional security and stability threat.” As Burma’s neighbors, ASEAN member states and China, have a special responsibility to encourage the SPDC to respond to its citizen’s legitimate demands without repression and violence. It has been brought to our attention that during several armed crackdowns on peaceful protests in late September 2007, many protestors were wounded or killed by government forces. Following which, thousands of activists and monks were detained, and homes and monasteries raided.

After an 18-month JUN makeover, the NAS building at Canning Rise re-opened on 7 April with a slew of upgraded ISSUE 01 2019 Directors’ CONTENTS facilities for the public. As the NAS’ year-long 50th anniversary celebrations that began in June 2018 draw to a conclusion, we will mark its close by hosting the SARBICA* International OPINION Note Symposium from 24–28 June 2019. This special edition of BiblioAsia puts the spotlight on all things archives. In his op-ed, Dr Shashi Jayakumar describes how recent initiatives undertaken by the NAS prepare the organisation – as well as Singapore – for the future. Eric Chin examines the role of the archives in providing evidence and the value this has for Singapore – from resolving the landmark Pedra Branca dispute to helping bring the past to life for today’s generation. Fiona Tan remembers some of the pioneers who started the archives in Singapore, Mark Looking Back, The Unresolved Past: Wong interviews an archives veteran to glean insights into her 45-year career, and Abigail 02 Looking Forward 04 Reflections on War Huang charts the timeline of the archives buildings over the years (we did say this issue is and Memory about the archives!).

    Surin Pitsuwan: Scholar, Asean Internationalist By: Datuk Dr A. Murad Merican Published in: New Straits Times, Sunday 3 December 2017 Read More : https://www.nst.com.my/opinion/columnists/2017/12/310056/surin-pitsuwan-scholar- asean-internationalist We saw the passing of statesman, scholar and diplomat extraordinaire Dr Surin Pitsuwan on Thursday. Born Abdul Halim Ismail on Oct 28, 1949, the son of Pondok Ban Tan in Nakhon Si Thammarat, southern Thailand, Surin broke with tradition. Instead of the usual religious studies in “Kedah, Kelantan, Mecca, Cairo or Indonesia”, as he put it, he moved abroad as a high-school student in Minnesota, the United States, on an American Field Service exchange scholarship in 1967-68. He later returned to Bangkok to attend Thammasat University, and subsequently went to Harvard University, where he obtained his master’s degree and doctorate in Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies. Surin was, and still easily is, the public face of Asean. He was Asean secretary-general from July 2007 to December 2012. Contrary to convention, Surin took an activist role and was involved in the peace process as facilitator and negotiator in the region. Writing in the op-ed page of this newspaper on June 17, 2011, he articulated the future of the region. He expressed a clear vision of Asean’s direction, hopeful of more innovative breakthroughs as it develops into an integrated, open, peaceful and outward-looking region. He again narrated on peace at the recent two-day 4th World Conference on Islamic Thought and Civilisation (WCIT 2017), organised by Universiti Sultan Azlan Shah (USAS) in Ipoh, from Nov 20 onwards.
