Towards one Southeast Asia
Article Abstract:
The Assn of South East Asian Nations is working towards its goal to expand its membership to include all Southeast Asian countries. Significant progress has been made with the admission of Vietnam in July 1995 and the impending membership of Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia. Membership expansion will provide additional benefits for ASEAN nations. However, this will also create new challenges that will require the expertise of the academic community.
