With ASEAN’s competitiveness on the rise, however, its unity is hardly certain. In a changing world, economic and political protectionism gains a foothold. The book synthesizes our knowledge about ASEAN, with a specific emphasis on hot-button issues ranging from its domestic dynamics to external relations. It also reflects an evolution in ASEAN studies, which have largely shifted from a purely economic approach to understanding the region to a security-oriented one. Collectively, this book conveys an unambiguous and urgent message: ASEAN matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe making of ASEAN – Singapore’s policy in ASEAN – merchandise trade in ASEAN Plus Three – dispute settlement and militarization in the South China Sea – Japan’s policy towards ASEAN – China and the U.S. towards ASEAN – ASEAN and the EU – the Asia-Pacific Community\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044520919383,"sku":"9783631848579","price":44.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631848579.jpg?v=1750961890","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/asean-in-a-changing-world-9783631848579","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
