Abstract

Course DescriptionDuring its 55 years history the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has become one of the main driving forces in the Asia-Pacific integration. This fact is reflected both at the institutional (creation of ASEAN-led architecture in the region) and normative level (the acknowledgement of Association’s principles and central role by dialogue partners). In order to understand, how ASEAN managed to accomplish this result, we need to look at its history and relations with external powers. Lastly, we will try to figure out whether Association can retain its centrality in the current international environment.Pre-requisitesPre-requisites for this course are the following courses: “Economic & Political Geography of Southeast Asia” and “Modern History of Southeast Asia”.
