ASEAN Institutionalisation
The Function of Political Values and State Capacity
This paper analyzes how state weakness and divergent political values represent the biggest challenge to the possible creation of an ASEAN Community. While state weakness detracts from regional security and cohesion (e.g. Myanmar), divergent political values lead to divisions over the manner and extent to which the ASEAN members can and will cooperate in relation to both domestic and regional issues.
