Summary:

"Providing a contemporary discussion of ASEAN, this holistic Companion critically examines the organisation's characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, politics and policies, internal dynamics, and external relations. This fascinating and informative Companion makes a significant contribution to the literature on ASEAN, providing a comprehensive overview of the organisation and evaluating multidisciplinary perspectives on Southeast Asian regionalism. Featuring novel insights by distinguished experts in the field, chapters examine ASEAN's perspectives on security, human rights, and community formation, as well as analyse the relationship between ASEAN and other international organisations, including the EU. The book concludes with a discussion of contemporary discourse on ASEAN's role in the multilateralism of the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. This stimulating and provocative Companion will be essential reading for students and academics of Asian studies, international relations, political economy, and regulation and governance. It will also be beneficial to policymakers and diplomats with an interest in multilateralism in Asia and Southeast Asian regionalism"-- Provided by publisher.
