Multiple logics of identity-construction was at work where identities, loyalty and sense of belonging were not fixed to a certain locality but was often a result of the interaction between the circumstances of political geography and local patron-client relations (Chaudhuri 1990).

First of all, the integration of ASEAN economies with the wider Asia-Pacific region has exposed the region to the negative effects of globalization which are keenly felt by all member states. ASEAN Vision 2020. Accessed 15 January, 2018. http://asean.org/?static_post=asean-vision-2020. Does ASEAN measure up? This was based largely on perceptions that taxes were too numerous and too high, bureaucratic control too tight and too prone to corruption, and labour too coercively extracted. A study by Azmawati and Quayle (2017) shows that even at the university level, students in Southeast Asia are often very unfamiliar with the organization, goals and progress of the ASEAN Community. They wanted to gain monopoly over the spice trade as this trade was very valuable to the Europeans due to high demand for various spices such as pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.This demand led to the arrival of Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, and later French and British marine spice . The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is the main regional organization in Southeast Asia. The most important reasons for the change were a growing Western technological superiority, an increasingly powerful European mercantile community in Southeast Asia, and a competitive scramble for strategic territory. The formal and informal networks formed by these organizations have shown to ignore the language game of exclusivity and instead cooperated for decades on regional issues (Tadem 2018). How did imperialism affect Latin America? Except in Java and much of the Philippines, the expansion of Western colonial rule in most of Southeast Asia was a phenomenon only of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. We will discuss the motivations behind British colonial expansion, as well as the effects that imperialism had on both colonized and . Causes of Decolonization. _____________. They were being forced to leave their families and work without pay. Full-blown, modern colonial states existed for only a short period, in many cases for not much more than a generation.

A history of Southeast Asia: critical crossroads. Ahmad, Kassim. Oba, Mie. In Southeast Asia, the British Empire launched counterinsurgency movements in the 1950s and 1960s across Vietnam, Myanmar, Burma and Malaya, a British colony of several states on the Malay . The newer generation, however, was more certain in its opposition to colonial rule (or, in Siam, rule by the monarchy), clearer and far more political in its conception of a nation, and unabashedly determined to seize leadership and initiative in their own societies. Advancing Community Building for ASEAN. East Asia 32, no. Further research carried out by Christopher Roberts between 2004 and 2007 also demonstrates that a high level of distrust exists between the citizens and governments of ASEAN. An ASEAN-wide survey carried out by Roberts in 2007 revealed a high level of trust deficit among ASEAN elites and citizens (Roberts 2007). It will also argue that identities can be overlapping and not mutually exclusive and that an individual can be both a citizen of a Southeast Asian state and also sees himself as a fully participatory member of the ASEAN community. The effects of colonialism on Southeast Asia were both positive and negative, and have shaped the course of the region's history and development. The dispute between Cambodia and Thailand over the ownership of the Preah Vihear border territory which escalated into an armed conflict in 2008 serves as an illustrative example of the weakness of ASEAN solidarity, not to mention the strength of ASEAN unity (Weatherbee 2012: 3-22). These challenges would require ASEAN member states to re-orientate their course of actions for closer cooperation in order to act as a counterweight against these external powers attempting to influence events in the region and this ability is invariably tied to the degree of cohesion within ASEAN (Yoshimatsu 2012). Thailand Escaped Colonialism, But Still Adapted Western Ideas. Brain drain. Modern Colonization in Asia and its Effects. Retrieved from https://www.jstor.org . A possible explanation for this absence of identification with the ASEAN identity is that the people of Southeast Asia continue to be trapped in a language game inherited from the colonial era which has defined national identities based on the notion of exclusivity and a worldview that accepts modern state boundaries as a given political reality. ASEAN has also gone on to achieve some success in regional economic integration projects with a number of agreements signed in principle on the setting up of free trade zones, abolishment of tariffs, product standards and conformity (Severino 2007: 17-24). Similar to Benedict Andersons imagined community of a nation; a regional identity can also be imagined (Anderson 1983). Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Laos all have civil law systems. Recent developments in Southeast Asia, particularly in India, Japan, and Hong Kong, tell volumes about this project. Christie, Clive J. Challenges for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Pacific Affairs 71, no.4 (Winter 1998-1999), 505-523. Hooghe, Liesbet and Gary Marks.

It was not the purpose of the new states to effect rapid or broad social change. In January 2003, Cambodian news media falsely alleged that a claim has been made by a prominent Thai actress that Angkor belonged to Thailand. 1983. It is also likely that European efforts to choke and redirect the regions trade had already done much to destroy the general prosperity that trade previously had provided, though Europeans were neither ubiquitous nor in a position to rule, even in Java. London: Routledge, 2001. Although returning Europeans and even some Southeast Asians themselves complained that Japanese fascism had deeply influenced the regions societies, there is not much evidence that this was the case. The works of Caporaso and Kim (2009); Hooghe and Marks (2004); Mayer and Palmowski (2004); similarly suggests that the existence of a collective identity and we-feeling is essential in working as a catalyst for the regional integration process. 1 (2002): 93-109. Only through such efforts will there be greater understanding, awareness and appreciation of the regions interconnectedness that will aid the people of ASEAN in shedding their mental barriers of exclusive national identities and develop a sentiment of common belonging and shared destiny. A lack of a real sense of shared belonging among the people of Southeast Asia to the ASEAN identity remains. Intra-regional people-to-people interaction at the ground level should therefore be highly encouraged. Any memory of pre-colonial affinities and common past that could have served as the foundation of a regional identity have also been erased. From these works stands out the diversity of development experiences across and even within formerly colonized countries depending on the conditions encountered by colonizers, the latter's identity, or the length of colonization, to name a few. Thuzar, Moe. How Pol Pot Came to Power: Colonialism, Nationalism, and Communism in Cambodia, 1930-1975. This sparked riots which was fueled by politicians from the governing party, Cambodians People Party and resulted in the burning and vandalizing of Thai embassy and business properties in Phnom Penh. From its roots as an inward-looking multilateral regional arrangement, ASEAN has since expanded its geographical scope to engage with external powers in the Asia Pacific region through the creation of modalities such as the ASEAN Regional Forum in 1994, ASEAN Plus Three (China, Japan and Republic of Korea) in 1997 and East Asia Summit in 2005 (Prasetyono 2007: 109-116). A map of Asia by Sebastian Munster dated in 1598 further illustrate the absence of territorial boundaries across the entire Southeast Asia region and depicted the region as a continuum in which its inhabitants perceived it as a shared common space (Munster 1598). 3 (2004): 423-450. Elsewhere, war and confusion held societies in their grip for much shorter periods, but everywhere rulers were compelled to think of changed circumstances around them and what they meant for the future. Community and power in Southeast Asias regional order. The Pacific Review 18, no. 5 (May 2011): 762. As national interests and identities predominate in ASEAN, it is an arduous task for the generation of the kind of we-feeling that is required for the building of a regional community as articulated in the ASEAN Vision 2020. the grand design of European colonialism in Asia and on some of its consequences. National histories have to shift away from a mono-logical retelling of events to one that teaches it in the broader context of the region that reminds the people of ASEAN of the numerous, intersecting historical and cultural ties that exists amongst them. Acharya argues that this is an authentic identity that the ASEAN ruling elite has consciously constructed and build-on since ASEANs establishment and has resulted in a cognitive imagining of Southeast Asia as a genuine ASEAN community (ibid.). Karl Ian Cheng Chua, Visiting Professor, Hitotsubashi University, Japan, Singapore But the new governments did not provide Western-style learning to most Southeast Asians, primarily because it was an enormous, difficult, and expensive task and also because policymakers worried about the social and political consequences of creating an educated class. From neighbourhood watch group to community? On the positive side ii led to development of industries in Asia and Africa. Map of Ethnic Groups in MMSEA. May 2005. By the early twentieth century all Southeast Asia had come under colonial control. Despite the fact that the imperative to create a shared sense of ASEAN belonging and we-feeling comes from the political elites and bureaucrats of ASEAN themselves, it may remain a challenge to expect such a mental leap to be taken and led by them. As decades of imposed isolation occur between the colonial states, the social and economic life of its inhabitants became further and further separated from their regional counterparts even though they were in close geographical proximity. _____________. The purpose of the organization was to prevent communism from gaining ground in the region. By the end of colonial rule, the once multi-faceted and fluid identity of Southeast Asian has been replaced with institutionalized, singular identities narrowly based on political allegiance to a nation-state and social allegiance to an ethnic community. British colonialism and imperialism were some of the most powerful forces in world history. For instance, instead of competing over the ownership of the batik, it could be celebrated and promoted as a shared ASEAN heritage and serve as a social glue that enhances the sense of a regional identity. The Dual Nature of European Identity: Subjective Awareness and Coherence. Journal of European Public Policy 16, no. Attempts made by the early nationalist leaders of Malaysia and Indonesia to create a Pan-Malay world lend further credence to the existence of long and deep affinities in the region (Mcintyre 1973). This further divided the ethnic communities as seeds of discords were sowed through perception of unequal treatment. Khoo, How San. Caballero-Anthony, Mely. Moreover, it is unfair to say that ASEAN has no cultural and geographical foundation for the creation of a shared community and collective identity. However, this continues to be contested by the government of Malaysia. London: Archibald Constable & Co, 1825. Realist interpretations continue to dominate the study of ASEAN. There was clearly little clinging to Japanese concepts except where they could be thoroughly indigenized; even the collaboration issue, so important to Europeans and their thinking about the immediate postwar era, failed to move Southeast Asians for long. Association of Southeast Asian Nation. From its roots as an inward-looking multilateral regional arrangement, ASEAN has since expanded its geographical scope to engage with external powers in the Asia Pacific region through the creation of modalities such as the ASEAN Regional Forum in 1994, ASEAN Plus Three (China, Japan and Republic of Korea) in 1997 and East Asia Summit in 2005 (Prasetyono 2007: 109-116). In those scenarios, member states that are keen to maintain a close political and economic linkage with China are reluctant to agree on a common stance that is beneficial to the region out of fear that it may risk their diplomatic relations with China (Yoshimatsu 2012). As Farish Noor points out, there is no common history textbook that captures the manifold overlaps and continuities in Southeast Asian history, or which reflects the manner in which many communities that exist in the region today are really the net result of centuries of intermingling, overlapping, and hybridity. (ibid.). At least since the Crusades and the conquest of the Americas, political theorists have used theories of justice, contract, and natural law to both criticize and justify European domination. In his view, before reaching the state of integration, the formation of a common identity must first be attained before intensive cooperation among states can begin. These would lay the groundwork for political identities to be based on exclusivity and complicate the quest for nation-building and regionalism after independence was achieved by the colonial states. Community Land Titling Policy and Bureaucratic Resistance in Thailand, Can the Victims Speak? As ASEAN risks being undermined in an increasingly volatile, uncertain and complex global environment, it needs to re-define itself and build itself into a much closer ASEAN Community of nations. Siam, which through a combination of circumstance and the wise leadership of Mongkut (ruled 185168) and Chulalongkorn (18681910) avoided Western rule, nevertheless was compelled to adopt policies similar to, and often even modeled on, those of the colonial powers in order to survive. Nevertheless, during the 1920s and 30s a tiny but thoughtful and active class of Westernized Southeast Asian intellectuals appeared. The same language games played by the colonial functionaries continue to be played by the political elites of Southeast Asia which informs present-day sensibilities in the statecraft, economy and international relations of the region. Research reveals that the transformation that marred the region was as a result of Japan's unique focus .

The motto One Vision, One Identity, One Community has since become an often-repeated slogan of the organization that appears in almost every ASEAN official statements and publications. However, norm compliance of member states does not adequately prove that a genuine sense of we-feeling and collective identity exists (Jones and Smith 2007).
