NEW: SEACA Occasional Paper on Regionalism
This paper aims to shed light on two things: (1) the various economic cooperation and integration it gave rise to; and (2) the extent of civil society analysis and view of regionalism and regional integration. It is hoped that by juxtaposing the basic frameworks of official ASEAN policy with those of civil society analysis and advocacy, broad themes for engagement and/or resistance may be extracted and initial unities on regionalism can be developed.
