Full textWith the help of investigation we found out the policy of ASEAN, the importance of its existence as regional actor in international system, how the organization looks in region context and what problems it has to solve. We can affirm that this organization has a strong effect in the spheres of economy and security in the region; it collaborates in social protection and expansion, in law and prevention of crime, education, culture and information, also protection of environment. Organization‘s members reaching their own aims often break their transnational commitments and that is the reason for the suppression of the capability of ASEAN in the region.

Full textA presente dissertação tem como objetivo analisar as relações internacionais no Leste Asiático tendo como foco principal a pesquisa do fenômeno da integração regional e da disputa pela liderança na região através dos mecanismos de integração, por suas principais potências locais, China e Japão. A Associação dos Países do Sudeste Asiático (ASEAN) e seu desdobramento estrutural, a ASEAN+3 que inclui os dez países membros da associação além dos três países mais influentes do Nordeste Asiático, China, Japão e Coréia do Sul, são o objeto da pesquisa, uma vez que por serem os principais mecanismos de integração da região, estão mais sujeitos a vivenciar a concorrência chinesa e japonesa pelo papel de principal ator e líder regional. A crescente importância dos mecanismos de integração do Leste Asiático decorrente da maior integração que vem adquirindo, uma integração com particularidades únicas e bem distintas da União Europeia, traz o aumento da representatividade da região no mundo e de seus países membros dentro da região. Este tipo de destaque adquirido por este padrão de arcabouço regional, que proporciona crescimento das trocas comerciais na região e de seu desenvolvimento, passou a atrair as potências regionais por se constituir em um importante e interessante instrumento de política regional. Os Estados japonês e chinês possuem problemas históricos de longa data, o que traz maior desconfiança e instabilidade para a região, e aumenta a competição entre os dois atores por maior influência nos grupos de integração regional, acreditando ser possível através desta manobra alcançar a liderança regional. Deste modo, o que esta dissertação pretende mostrar é: a forma como japoneses e chineses se utilizam dos mecanismos de integração regional com a ASEAN e a ASEAN+3 em evidência para perpetuar sua política na região como forma de alcançar o poder; apresentar quais os objetivos, benefícios e interesses em se tornar o líder regional; e apontar qual país tem maior potencial em se tornar líder e através de que tipo de liderança.
This dissertation aims to analyze the international relations in East Asia with a focus on research into the phenomenon of regional integration and the competition for leadership in the region through the mechanisms of integration by their local major powers, China and Japan. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and its deployment structure, ASEAN +3, comprising the ten member countries of the association beyond the three most influential countries in Northeast Asia, China, Japan and South Korea, are the object of research, since that being the main mechanisms of integration of the region, are more likely to experience Chinese and Japanese competition for the role of main actor and regional leader. The growing importance of the mechanisms of integration in East Asia due to the increased integration that it has been acquiring, a different kind of integration when compared to European Union, brings greater representation for the region in the world and for its member countries within the region. This type of prominence acquired by the pattern of regional framework, which provides trade growth in the region and its development, began to attract the regional powers, once they constitute an interesting and important instrument of regional policy. The Japanese and Chinese States have long-standing historical problems, which brings higher distrust and instability in the region, increasing the competition between the two actors for greater influence in regional integration groups, believing to be possible through this maneuver to achieve regional leadership. Thus, what this dissertation aims to show is: how Japan and China use the mechanisms of regional integration - with ASEAN and ASEAN +3 in evidence - to perpetuate its policy in the region as a means of attaining power, which are the objectives, benefits and interests to become the regional leader, and to suggest which country has the greatest potential to become a leader and through what kind of leadership.

Full textGlobal challenges have been affecting the world constantly. Thus there are pressures to innovate and adapt to changing conditions. State in this context is not an exception. It can be argued that the states have been experiencing far greater pressures to find the best solutions to amortize global pressure. One of the most favorable way to do that, turn to regional organizations. To date, the most successful regional organization is considered to be the European Union, followed by ASEAN. However, the research comparing these two organizations is not much on the fact that there are well-established opinions, that EU n=1 case and a large part of the regional classic theories originate from the EU intellectual heritage. The new regionalism approach throw a challenge to claim that the EU can be compared and should be compared, because it is the only one way to understand the processes of regional mechanisms.The analysis of these two regional organizations regionalization processes shift have shoved that. EU and ASEAN regionalization processes change is almost the same at their start, dominates security issues. They are totally different in their functioning, the EU followed hard institutionalization and promotion of supranational institutions. ASEAN have avoided of any form of institutionalization and promoted the informality. Only partially comparable influence to Member States and third countries where EU has acquired a more solid experience. It was also discovered that... [to full text]

Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, and Thailand, have all chosen outward-oriented strat-egy over inward-oriented strategy to gain economic growth. This approach was due to the Asian miracles development. Therefore, protectionism had to cave in (Edwards, 1993).
This thesis aim with the help of income terms of trade and GDPCAP to study the relation between trade and growth for these countries mentioned. Therefore, see if income terms of trade would work as an engine of growth for these countries. The purpose is to find a posi-tive correlation between the variables. ITT capture the price and volume effects when trade increases. That is why, ITT is used in this thesis, for the purpose that exports alone cannot explain growth if imports are left out.
Time series was conducted with help of a unit root test, co-integration, and Granger causal-ity test. In each test made, the result provided showed of statistically significant values, hence, ITT is of relevance for growth in these countries, during 1980-2006.

Full textSince the end of the Cold War, Asia has faced many traditional and non-traditional security challenges. These challenges include increasing Chinese assertiveness, territorial disputes among multiple Asian states in the East and South China Seas, the buildup of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal, the discovery of terrorist networks in Southeast Asia, and several major natural disasters and humanitarian crises. Each of these revealed an apparent lack of cooperation and coordination among countries in the region, but each seems to have spurred the creation or development of new regional institutions. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) initiated the formation of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), a cooperative security arrangement with the stated objectives to progress from confidence building measures to preventive diplomacy and conflict resolution. The usefulness of the ARF, however, continues to be hotly debated by analysts, who generally find the ARF to be limited in its ability to resolve Asia’s security challenges. These arguments, however, overlook the fact that the forum has fostered practical cooperation in addressing certain kinds of security challenges. What are the ARF’s limits in responding to Asia’s traditional and non-traditional security challenges? The thesis uses contemporary case studies to analyze the ARF’s limits. These case studies focus on the ARF’s responses to traditional and non-traditional security challenges. In so doing, the thesis recognizes that the ARF is unable to resolve traditional security issues or stage operational responses to non-traditional security issues. It argues, however, that the ARF is far from being irrelevant. The forum brought regional players together in constructive dialogues and fostered practical security cooperation in specific non-traditional security issues.

It is true that for many in South East Asia, the ASEAN Charter is a milestone. For the first time in its 41-year existence, ASEAN has a constitution which can potentially lead it to be "a rule-based and people-oriented" legal entity. It even indeed sets out rules for the ASEAN members and gives the organization legal personality. More importantly, it enshrines the principles of "respect for fundamental freedoms, the promotion and protection of human rights and the promotion of social justice". It also calls for the establishment of a human rights body to ensure that every member state adheres to the Charter's principles. But, unfortunately the Charter fails to include a provision which would authorize sanctions for any member that does not comply with its rules and principles. And it remains unclear how much power will be granted to the human rights body in enforcing the principles. To make matters even more ambiguous, the Charter validates a long-held ASEAN principle that is the root cause of the organization's ineptitude in dealing firmly with its members — "non-interference in the internal affairs of ASEAN member states". As a result, the purpose of study is thus to analyze the ASEAN charter and its mode of regional governance, investigating the problems and contradictions of regional governance under the charter. All in all, though the suggestions, reforms and the orientation of regional integration of the new charter are extremely visionary, if the members are unwilling to face up the substantial problems in ASEAN region, the binding force of the regional new charter will be doubtful and even cannot be conducive to the forming of regional community.

After the financial crisis, ASEAN sought for further regional economic cooperation. China bearing the thought to pursue becoming the regional hegemony provides ASEAN with public goods and ASEAN started to cooperate with China. And Japan who was worried about the rise of China began to cooperate with ASEAN actively. But the multilateral regime, or a open-end East Asia regional economic regime is more beneficial to Japan. ASEAN who wants to keep their self-autonomy and China who has a strong wish to exclude the U.S. influence form East Asia do not approve to build the multilateral economic system in East Asia. China recognizes that China and Japan must work economically together and co-exist in East Asia. Although Japan who needs to handle the doubts of ASEAN and China hopes to build a system and to lead the economic cooperation within the region, Japan encounters the conservative power domestically. ASEAN who looks for the economic cooperation in East Asia by concluding the Free Trade Agreement with China collectively and Japan individually to make real economical cooperation in East Asia. This paper is going to discuss how does ASEAN flexibly avoid the disputes and achieve real economic cooperation progress during the economic cooperation process.

It’s hard for not to pay attention that presidents from Japan, USA and China, were visited Southeast Asian countries in last few years. The one of the most important reason is that the establishment of the biggest market will be completed in 2015- ASEAN Economic Community . This is also the biggest incentive between USA and China. This paper will focus on Taiwan’s closely trading partner ASEAN–China Free Trade Area to find out the key point for China to please ASEAN, and their relationship of political and economic.

Southeast Asia had been dominated by European Powers since 15thcntury until the second world war. After the second world war, thenewly independent state s emerge in the southeast asia region, andASEAN was founded in 1967. ASEAN is famous of its decision-making process, well known as"common decision", every member''s opinion must be heared by theothers, and "feelers technique" do help each other on understandingmutually. According to common interests, ASEAN and EC begin dialoguessince 1978, and signed an agreement on cooperation in 1980. As the Cold War ended in 1990s, ASEAN and EC both expandedthemselves, and un der the urges of both sides, the ASEM was held inBangkok and London 1996 and 1 998, to get mutual understandings andto promote the common interests for both sides. The most difference between ASEAN and EC is the human rights issue,esp ecially on Burma and East Timor. Fortunately, ASEAN and EC will intense their cooperativerelationship in the foreseenable future.
