Synopsis The three decades of the ASEAN experiment in regional cooperation has brought in a new model of conflict management, regional stability and integration quite distinct from other regional organisations. How has ASEAN done it? What methods, styles and practices did the countries of ASEAN adopt to make their association a successful one? What political, economic, strategic and diplomatic moves did ASEAN pursue to promote political stability, economic development and to establish regional peace and security? This book explores various facets of ASEAN and its style of functioning to find an answer to these questions. It examines the ASEAN experience in establishing a regional community as well as its relevance for South Asia.
