Furthermore, when the sample was split between government officers and academics it was the academics that were the most cynical: 66.7% of them answered no to the question of trust while 55.3% of government respondents answered no to the same question. The lack of regional cohesion among the ASEAN member states to formulate a coordinated and coherent response against China both in the South China Sea dispute and the Lancang-Mekong hydropower dam project are further examples of how national interest continues to be prioritized over regional interest (Biba 2012). By the nature of their role, interest and responsibilities, they are conditioned to act in a manner that is fixated on the protection of the territorial and economic sovereignty of their nation-states. K.N Chaudhuris (1990) research shows that pre-colonial Southeast Asia was a multi-polar world with overlapping spheres of geographic, economic and political system all co-existing simultaneously. In January 2003, Cambodian news media falsely alleged that a claim has been made by a prominent Thai actress that Angkor belonged to Thailand. Singapore: S.Rajaratnam School of International Studies, 2007. Political instability. See the works of Amitav Acharya, Malcolm Chalmers, Kishore Mahbubani and Khong Yuen Foong. The authors also find that colonialism's other ills (including racism, political repression and economic exploitation) canceled out any positive effects. Malaysian politicians and media often play up bilateral disputes by criticising Singapore or accuse the country of spying within Malaysian territory. A significant feature is the fact that so many Western countries were involved in this colonization -- Portuguese Spanish, Dutch, British, French . This article, we will provide an overview of British colonialism and imperialism, from the early explorations of the 15th century to its height in the 19th century. This influences some of the systems like education and governance but also stagnated the growth and development in these areas. Thus, the Thai began early on to send princes to Europe for their education, employing them throughout the government on their return. This article focuses more on modern colonization, which began around the 15th century. 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. Any memory of pre-colonial affinities and common past that could have served as the foundation of a regional identity have also been erased. Ahmad, Kassim. Most literature focuses on the security and economic dimension of ASEAN, which despite its importance, is inadequate in the discussion of a formation of a genuine regional community anchored on a collective identity. Reid, Anthony Reid. See Royston Sim, Pedra Blanca: ICJ to hear Malaysias challenge in June,. Jeevan Vasagar. 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). What . Indeed, colonial domination was only a variant condition in a rapidly changing world. 1) Modern nationalism shook the imperialism in colonies and a sense of identification with pride in the nation-state was evolved which led to the formation of national organizations to destabilize the colonial set up. Politically, colonialism can be considered as a form of dictatorship because it imposes and maintains violence (Rodney, 1982). An awareness and internalization of the logic that identities can be overlapping and not mutually exclusive must be made. They neglect the possible influence of ideational elements on state behavior which is critical to the formation of any collective community. Since the first contact with Westerners, starting with the Portuguese and Spanish explorers, the islands have been colonized by various European and Asian countries. The Dayaks of Borneo have similarly refuse to accept the modern day national boundaries imposed upon them and continue to straddle the borders of Kalimantan (Indonesia) and Sarawak (Malaysia) in their everyday lives (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia 2014, 209-231). 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. 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. Being separated from the motherland for so long gave. They were unable, however, to avoid other concomitants of state expansion and modernization. The elites response to these circumstances generally has been interpreted as a kind of cultural introversion and avoidance of reality, a judgment that probably is too harsh. 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. Unrestricted by any form of political borders or allegiance to a single locality, Southeast Asians constantly moved across the region. However, these works stopped short of explaining the origin of their fixation on the Westphalian principles of state sovereignty and their national boundaries. The language at play highlights the paramount status of national sovereignty and interest before regional solidarity in the eyes of the political elites of ASEAN. Southeast Asian countries do not identify with each other in the same manner as articulated in the ASEAN Vision. South East Asia Research, 18(1), 5-31. For ASEAN to develop a collective identity that will lead to the formation of a genuine, shared ASEAN community, a significant mental leap must be taken by the citizens of ASEAN to internalize the logic of overlapping identities and re-imagine the region. Full-blown, modern colonial states existed for only a short period, in many cases for not much more than a generation. . Motivated by a need for raw materials and new markets to sustain the industrial development of their metropoles, the European powers embarked on a series of colonizing missions between the 17th to 19th century in Southeast Asia (Christie 1996). Caballero-Anthony, Mely. Japanese rule, indeed, had destroyed whatever remained of the mystique of Western supremacy, but the war also had ruined any chances that it might be replaced with a Japanese mystique. Consider the effect of Western (and in particular European) colonialism. They must be made aware of the artificiality of modern-day national boundaries and accept that elements of commonality in history, culture, ethnicity and geographies exists in the region. ASEAN Vision 2020. Accessed 15 January, 2018. http://asean.org/?static_post=asean-vision-2020. Integration into the global economy. Kim, Min-hyung. Historical works have shown that forms of regional linkages had already existed prior to the advent of colonialism (Steinberg 1971). Social change was desired only insofar as it might strengthen these activities. There is a lack of shared sentiments of solidarity or we-feeling and the ground realities have proven to be at odds with the vision as spelt out in ASEAN vision 2020. Renewed power rivalry between the US and China has also forced the region to look for new ways to balance their interests (Acharya 2017: 25-38). Some scholars and political observers have lauded ASEAN as one of the most successful examples of regionalism and often point out to the absence of any prolonged military conflict or open confrontation between its member states since the end of the Cold War as a testament to ASEANs success. Now, just Continue reading Unlike during the pre-colonial era, the movements of Southeast Asians were subsequently restricted within the confines of their respective colonial empires. 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. French colonists were interested in acquiring land, exploiting . The article argues that as national interests and an exclusive worldview predominates in ASEAN, it remains an arduous task for the generation of the kind of we-feeling that is required to fulfill the goals as articulated in the ASEAN Vision 2020. _____________. Lee Jun Jie 2 Citizens of ASEAN continue to remain largely uninterested and ignorant of the lives, culture and economy of their fellow counterparts in other member states (Heng 2015). This ideological worldview as imposed by colonialism is deeply embedded into the consciousness of Southeast Asians and continues to be perpetuated by the ruling political elites. Similarly in May 2017, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte advocated for the inclusion of Mongolia and Turkey in ASEAN (Koi 2017). An ASEAN way to security cooperation in Southeast Asia?. The Pacific Review 16, 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. These solidarity-building measures will eventually trickle down to the grass-root level and help construct a collective ASEAN identity. As Benedict Anderson postulates on the possibilities of nation-states as imagined communities, so can a regional identity exist as an ontological object of the mind if Southeast Asians are able to re-imagine a contemporary Southeast Asia not solely defined by territorial borders and exclusive national identity (Anderson 1983). Often dismissed as pseudo-intellectuals by the Western colonial governments and prevented from obtaining any real stake in the state, the new intellectuals under the Japanese were accorded positions of real (though not unlimited or unsupervised) authority. Some of the negative impacts that are associated with colonization include; degradation of natural resources, capitalist, urbanization, introduction of foreign diseases to livestock and humans. In order to facilitate its economic and resource exploitation, infrastructure networks were further expanded by the colonial rulers to connect both people and territories within their colonial states (ibid.). One example was the situation in British Malaya whereby the Chinese were mostly relegated to the tin-mining industry, Indian to hard labour and money-lending business and Malays to areas of agricultural production.

There is no real sense of regional belonging or sentiments of we-feeling among the political elites and populace of Southeast Asia to the ASEAN Identity and the idea of ASEAN Community rarely motivate their actions (Narine 2002).

Japanese-Thai Relations through Two Coups: Back to Business The institution of kingship itself seemed to become more dynamic and intimately involved in the direction of the state. 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). However, the colonization of endophytes may overcome obstacles, and plants have developed several mechanisms to counteract the fungal attack, including the synthesis of defensive phytochemicals. In the context of the no response percentages, the three most distrusting countries were Myanmar, Singapore and Indonesia. These were different in each area and some of the differences, notably between China and the rest of Asia, may be instructive as they can help us better to under-stand idiosyncratic aspects of the diverse history of modern Asia. The colonial rulers proceeded to alter the epistemology and discourse of statecraft and international relations in Southeast Asia. While under the Japanese occupation, Southeast Asia underwent major social and economic structural changes. In the mainland states three great rulers of three new dynasties came to the fore: Bodawpaya (ruled 17821819) in Myanmar, Rama I (17821809) in Siam (Thailand), and Gia Long (180220) in Vietnam.

However, this continues to be contested by the government of Malaysia. The idea of opposing Dutch rule, furthermore, was not abandoned entirely, and it was only the devastating Java War (182530) that finally tamed the Javanese elite and, oddly enough, left the Dutch to determine the final shape of Javanese culture until the mid-20th century. The consequences of colonialism are "still being felt to this day", Chef de Cabinet Courtenay Rattray told the Special Committee on Decolonization on Friday. 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. The purpose of the organization was to prevent communism from gaining ground in the region. As the European colonizers were anxious to safeguard their economic interest and avoid any possible territorial conflicts with their counterparts, they saw a need to demarcate well-defined political boundaries to minimize any ambiguity over the extent of their rule. There have also been historical evidences which show that states in Southeast Asian in the pre-colonial era did not see themselves as distinct entities that are based on exclusive identity.

Of particular importance were efforts to bring villages under closer state control, curb shifting patron-client relationships, and centralize and tighten the state administrative apparatus.

The 1960's national liberation movement largely ended the colonial era but the centuries of foreign control left their mark on many developing countries. The political elites of ASEAN also continue to look at their neighbouring countries with much suspicion (ibid.). From neighbourhood watch group to community? Farish A. Noor notes that although the history textbooks of Indonesia do make mention of the how transnational contact between states in the region aided the formative development of Indonesia, there is scant detail given on the cultural and historical linkages between the proto-Indonesian kingdoms and their Southeast Asian counterparts during the pre-colonial era. The demarcation of well-defined political boundaries by the colonial powers effectively divided Southeast Asia into neat blocks of compartmentalized colonies. In Burma this group called themselves thakin (Burmese: master), making both sarcastic and proud use of an indigenous word that had been reserved for Burmese to employ when addressing or describing Europeans. As existing literature have already been inundated by realist interpretations that mainly focus on the political and economic dimensions of ASEANs integration, this article will venture to shift away from this direction and take a constructivist approach that emphasizes on the development of a collective identity that is based on a sentiment of we-feeling as an essential component in the building of a resilient ASEAN community. They hoped to build a sense of territorial ownership in the people instead of relying on loyalty to the rulers. For instance, racialised colonial capitalismwas implemented across the colonies in which a racialized hierarchy was introduced that stratified ethnic communities into their respective social and economic roles (Noor 2106).

These norms are posited to have constitutive effects which inform the regional behavior and foreign policy considerations of member states, thereby serving as the foundation for an ASEAN regional identity. In addition, 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 due to the nature of their role, interest and responsibilities. 2. The roots for regionalism has always been shallow and are mainly driven by pragmatic political and economic considerations. When forced to provide only a yes or no answer to the question of trust, 59.8% of the elites surveyed said they could not trust other countries in Southeast Asia to be good neighbours.

ASEAN can be argued to be more of a community of convenience that acts as a functional tool for political elites rather than a genuine community of shared vision and collective identity. Indochina is a region that today we would consider as Southeast Asia, comprised of Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam (Indochina, 2001). An example of this is how Singapores national history is often re-told with the founding of modern Singapore in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles as the starting point. It will also be useful to look at the genuine social bonding and connections that exist along the border zones of places such as Southern Thailand whose inhabitants life experience are based on the ground realities of cross-border (Thailand and Malaysia) commerce, migration, settlement and marriages (Noor 2017, 9-15). Colonialism is "a policy in which a country rules other nations and develops trade for its own benefit" and "the extension of power or .

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is the main regional organization in Southeast Asia. In reality, French colonialism was chiefly driven by economic interests. Eventually, this eroded the sense of shared consciousness and identity that had developed in Southeast Asia decades prior to colonial rule and conditioned the Southeast Asians to see themselves as citizens of different, distinct nations and communities that were exclusive in nature. Not necessarily so. National histories across the region are often written and retold in isolation, often with their independence struggle as the pre-given starting point and the respective nation-states as the main actor in the foreground (Noor 2017: 9-15).
