Since its founding in 1967, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has been a large part of the life of Southeast Asia, although most people in the region know very little about it. ASEAN has helped bring peace and stability to the region. This book seeks to shed some light on what ASEAN is all about.

Talking about ASEAN, this volume reappraises the organization from the inside, through controversial or perplexing issues such as the ""ASEAN Way"", the accession of the new members, including Myanmar, the principle of ""non-interference"", regional security, regional economic integration, the haze and SARS, and ASEAN's future.

This scholarly work lays out what has happened in the past and what must be done in the future - and does so just as newly elected President Benigno S. Aquino begins his term in office. With the help of this timely and comprehensive study, it is imperative that Aquino and the Congress confront and resolve territorial issues once and for all.
