Abstract

Despite intraorganisational tensions and conflicts, and the frequently disruptive influence of many external forces which together or alone could have led to yet another rusting edifice in the regional landscape, ASEAN has survived. The aspirations of the founders went beyond mere survival, however, and when the balance sheet for the last thirteen years or so is completed, we shall see that progress has been made in many areas. This is not to say that opportunities have not been squandered, or that after all these years more could not have been accomplished. Given the many daunting obstacles faced by the organisation it has nevertheless fared reasonably well.
