This book analyzes the barriers and impediments to realizing the ASEAN Economic Community by 2015. Specifically, it explores

•  whether the ASEAN Economic Community is achievable by 2015,
•  the obstacles along the way in achieving it, and
•  the measures needed for its eventual achievement.

Although the self-imposed deadline for the realization of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is 2015, it should not be viewed as a hard target. One should not expect 2015 to see ASEAN suddenly transformed, its nature and processes abruptly changed, its members’ interests substantially altered. Rather, 2015 should be viewed more as a milestone year - a measure of a work in progress - rather than as a hard target year.
