About the Authors
  • ASEAN is coming of age as an international actor and international treaty-maker. To date, more than two hundred external agreements and other instruments have been concluded in the name of ASEAN. This book provides the first systematic account of the legal framework governing ASEAN's burgeoning external relations practice. It focuses in depth on ASEAN's wide-ranging mandate to promote its values and principles in the wider region and beyond, as well as the highly intergovernmental, and at times haphazard, handling of the bloc's relations with the outside world. Furthermore, it reveals that there are two basic meanings of ASEAN in its international dealings, which have important implications under international law: ASEAN as an international organisation with its own legal personality and ASEAN as the collectivity of its member states. This timely and thoughtful book is a valuable resource for practitioners and scholars of international law, ASEAN law, international relations, regional integration and governance.

    • First comprehensive account of the external relations practice of ASEAN, including international treaty-making and 'soft' instruments
    • Written by a leading group of scholars from around the world, bringing together international law and international relations perspectives
    • Presents a broad and systematic analysis of ASEAN external agreements and discerns emerging patterns of practice for ASEAN providing readers with the distinctive features of ASEAN as an international treaty-maker
