The ASEAN Charter: a commentary

Subtitle :

Abstract :
Forty years after the Bangkok Declaration, which established the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), a new document was drafted as a result of bold and visionary recommendations of an ASEAN Committee of Eminent Persons. The ASEAN Charter, which came into force in 2008, provides ASEAN legal status and institutional framework. In effect, it is a legally binding agreement among the ten ASEAN Member States. In many respects, however, the Charter is more important as an aspirational document. Written by one of the persons involved in the negotiations leading to the adoption of the Charter, this meticulously researched publication helps readers navigate the ambiguities of the Charter by detailing an insider background, provision, of the debates that went into the making of the ASEAN Charter. It is only explains how the provisions of the Charter came to be drafted, but also how that relate to the realities of diplomatic practice. This volume will be an indispensable reference for scholars, working diplomats, and business and institutions that have a stake in ASEAN.
