ASEAN ESTABLISHMENT OF CONTRIBUTION IN SOCIAL ASPECTS, ECONOMIC AND

POLITICAL.
Establishment of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is one of
the most important organizations in international organizations and regional
organizations in Southeast Asia. ASEAN was established on August 6, 1967 in
Bangkok, Thailand aims to create security DAB regional stability based on justice
and obedience to the laws and principles of the Charter of the recipients of
United Nations (UN). This establishment took place when most of the countries in
Southeast Asia are struggling to develop their countries after a few years of
independence. Hence, the Foreign Minister of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Singapore and the Philippines, have signed the Declaration of Bangkok. The
declaration identifies seven key objectives for achieving the objectives of ASEAN,
namely

promoting

economic

development,

social

progress

and

cultural

development, regional cooperation undertake, undertaking regional peace and

stability, encouraging the spirit of helping each other in the field of training and
research, promoting the widespread use of agriculture and industry, rapid trade,
and all the advances in transportation and communication, promote education in
Southeast Asia, and promote closer relations with regional organizations that
have similar goals.
In this regard, ASEAN now has been staffed by seven regional countries,
namely Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, Brunei and
Vietnam. With separate and group efforts, these countries have achieved rapid
economic progress. Thus, the rapid development of the political, economic, social
and rivals the rapid development of East Asian countries such as South Korea.
This success has made Japan, China and South Korea joined the ASEAN at once
see that international organizations such as ASEAN could be successful against
other regional international organizations.
ASEAN success can be viewed from a social perspective when ASEAN
proposed International Conference on Drug Abuse and Distribution of Heroin
(ICDAIT) to the United Nations (UN) successfully held in Vienna in 1987. The
conference was chaired by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr .
Mahathir. International conference in Vienna is a manifestation of the whole
world to join overcome substance abuse problems that threaten the young

generation of today. Drug problem is the responsibility of the world to fight it

because distributors can benefit and led to the killing of fellow human beings. At
the conference, the control of drug trafficking, education, and health among
member countries was held.
ASEAN has also voiced the problem of refugees in Vietnam in the
international forum organized by the United Nations. The issue of Vietnamese
refugees who landed so many in the country who wish to seek protection from
Communist rule upon the expiration of the Vietnam War in April 1975. The
Vietnamese Refugees processed in refugee camps in Bidong Island (a small
island in Terengganu) before they are accepted in most countries such as the
USA, Canada, Australia, France, New Zealand, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and
Norway. The refugee issue is a global issue and humanity. Almost all the
countries affected by the problem of refugees and ASEAN member countries are
no exception. ASEAN voiced this issue at the United Nations to find ways to meet
the needs of refugees and at the same time protecting the interests of the host
country as a whole.
In addition, ASEAN has also shown success with setting up the Council
Indonesian and Malaysia (MBIM) in 1972, later becoming the Brunei DarussalamIndonesia-Malaysia (MABBIM) in 1985. Its aim is to develop and promote the
spirit of the Malay language brotherhood. The aims also to improve the
coordination role of the Malay language terminology, spelling, and pronunciation.
ASEAN also established SEAMEO (Ministers of Education Organization Southeast
Asia). Establishing is to cooperation in the field of science ASEAN knowledgeable.
This success clearly shows that ASEAN is a regional organization developing
successful.
While the Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN was
established on the basis of known as the model of the European Economic Union
(KEE), but ASEAN does not have its own institutions. No ASEAN parliament, no
council of ministers that ASEAN remains, no ASEAN secretariat, there is not a
court for ASEAN members convene to discuss the problems that occur and so on.
ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta only established after the Bali Summit 1976.
Establishment of the ASEAN Secretariat held following the fall of Vietnam, Laos
and Kampuchea hands of the communists.

International diplomacy in ASEAN has given a new breath in the pattern of

administration. Before the establishment of the ASEAN-focused on economic
cooperation, cultural and social conditions that create sustainable economic,
social and cultural nurturing relationships between the member states. Now,
ASEAN has opened vast tangle of cooperation, especially in the political and
security aspects. The goal of the ASEAN also make the region more broadly to
Southeast Asia as a free, secure and independent recognized by the forces of
communist and non-communist country to another.
Cooperation between developed to ensure political stability and security of
the regional countries is the concept ZOPFAN (Zone of Peace, Freedom and
Neutrality). This concept is realized through the Declaration of Kuala Lumpur in
November 1971 with the goal of avoiding interference from foreign countries
such as Russia, the United States and China in matters of this region and take a
neutral stance towards the West Block and East Block. On December 16, 1987,
the agreement SEANWZ of Nuclear Weapon Free Zone was established to
demonstrate the commitment of member states to make the ASEAN region free
from the threat of nuclear weapons.
Forms of political cooperation which made ASEAN prove so serious in
ensuring regional organization established to bring benefits to the countries that
compose it. Unlike the organization with other regional organizations such as
ASA, established in 1960 and Maphilindo in 1963 failed in its objective. The
success in ASEAN also attract other countries to become members of its
members. For example, Sri Lanka has applied to join ASEAN, but was rejected
due to the geographical position of the country is not in the environment of
Southeast Asia.

these is the ASEAN Economic Community through the Bali Concord 2.

Accordingly, the Action Plan for ASEAN Integration in finance (RIA-FIN ) has been

includes the development of capital markets, financial liberalization and currency
cooperation. This was followed by a decision made at the ASEAN Leaders Summit
in 2006 towards accelerating the establishment of the ASEAN Economic
Community from 2015 to 2020.
ASEAN members and dialogue partners will continue to examine the
possibilities and broaden and strengthen economic integration by creating a
single Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the 10-member regional organization
with all its trading partners in East Asia. Now, ASEAN has established several
separate FTA with six dialogue partners in East Asia, namely China ASEAN FTA
(2005), ASEAN-Korea FTA (2006), ASEAN FTA Japan (2009), India ASEAN FTA
(2010) and ASEAN FTA Australia and New Zealand (2010).
