Little wonder that before long Southeast Asians began to observe that, despite Asia for the Asians propaganda, the new and old colonial rulers had more in common with each other than either had with the indigenous peoples. While under the Japanese occupation, Southeast Asia underwent major social and economic structural changes. Since the colonists usually used brute force to conquer a land to colonize, it would create conflict with the natives. Moreover, it is unfair to say that ASEAN has no cultural and geographical foundation for the creation of a shared community and collective identity. It was only after colonial rule that Southeast Asians inherited a sense of modern citizenship with their identity being fixed to a single sovereignty within well-defined territories (Steinberg 1971). They hoped to build a sense of territorial ownership in the people instead of relying on loyalty to the rulers. The Gianti Agreement (1755) had divided the realm and given the Dutch decisive political and economic powers.

Regional integration is therefore mainly seen as a mean to allow the nation-state of Southeast Asia to obtain political and economic objectives that it is unable to achieve alone (Kim 2011). _____________. Community Land Titling Policy and Bureaucratic Resistance in Thailand, Can the Victims Speak? This was based largely on perceptions that taxes were too numerous and too high, bureaucratic control too tight and too prone to corruption, and labour too coercively extracted. The Dayaks of Borneo have similarly refuse to accept the modern day national boundaries imposed upon them and continue to straddle the borders of Kalimantan (Indonesia) and Sarawak (Malaysia) in their everyday lives (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia 2014, 209-231). The same language games played by the colonial functionaries continue to be played by the political elites of Southeast Asia which informs present-day sensibilities in the statecraft, economy and international relations of the region. A few constructivist interpretations have surfaced which attempt to fill this gap. ASEAN itself was formed out of a common fear of being dragged into the Cold War conflict and not an attempt at the revival of pre-colonial cultural linkages (Vatikiotis 1999). ASEAN and the Creation of a Regional Community. Asia-Pacific Review 21, no.1 (June 2014): 63-78. : The case of ASEAN institutions and the pooling of sovereignty.

Citizens of ASEAN have very little knowledge about their neighbouring countries, not to mention fellow member states that are located further away (Thuzar 2015). 2. The organization creates a vision for regional solidarity yet its people remain trapped in an inherited language game that has defined national identity based on exclusivity and a worldview that accept modern state boundaries as a given political reality. Great powers, ASEAN, and security: reason for optimism?. The Pacific Review 28, no. The persistence of exclusivity in national identity also forms a mental barrier in the creation of a genuine ASEAN community and collective identity. Singapore: Times Academic Press, 2002. Despite its nature as a work of fiction, it is based on historical realities and inform us on how identities were understood and framed as transient and dynamic during the pre-colonial era. A sort of a mental leap must be taken. From the 16th century until the 20th century, the major colonizers in Southeast Asia were European powers, including the British, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese. They accepted the existing state as the foundation of a modern nation, which they, rather than colonial officials, would control. The works of Caporaso and Kim (2009); Hooghe and Marks (2004); Mayer and Palmowski (2004); similarly suggests that the existence of a collective identity and we-feeling is essential in working as a catalyst for the regional integration process. They were backed by the enormous economic resources of the industrialized Western nations, and by the early 20th century, having effectively disarmed the indigenous societies, they possessed a monopoly on the means of violence. McMillan, David W. and David M. Chavis. Frequently the result was disorder, corruption, and, by the end of the war, a seething hatred of the Japanese. It will also be useful to look at the genuine social bonding and connections that exist along the border zones of places such as Southern Thailand whose inhabitants life experience are based on the ground realities of cross-border (Thailand and Malaysia) commerce, migration, settlement and marriages (Noor 2017, 9-15). in Burma/Myanmar. Does public opinion count? In essence, ASEAN is an attempt by political elites to re-imagine the region in form but not in substance. See Wittgenstein, Ludwig. 8 Therefore, Allan Collins is most probably right in arguing that ASEAN exists as a security regime whereby states interact through norms of behavior primarily to achieve their political and economic goals (Collins 2007). These were different in each area and some of the differences, notably between China and the rest of Asia, may be instructive as they can help us better to under-stand idiosyncratic aspects of the diverse history of modern Asia. Effects of the discoveries and empires. The 1960's national liberation movement largely ended the colonial era but the centuries of foreign control left their mark on many developing countries.

In the earlier period Europeans tended to acquire territory as a result of complicated and not always desired entanglements with Southeast Asian powers, either in disputes or as a result of alliances. In particular, this article will discuss how colonialism has defined national identity based on exclusivity and erased any memory of pre-colonial affinities and collective past that could have served as the foundation of a shared regional identity. The language at play highlights the paramount status of national sovereignty and interest before regional solidarity in the eyes of the political elites of ASEAN. Upon arriving at the Philippines, friars and priests started converting the natives to Christians. Examples are aplenty such as in the case of the sacking of the Thai embassy in Cambodia in 2003 or the oft-repeated verbal attacks made by Malaysia politicians on Singapore. Located at the crossroad between China and India, the region has historically been exposed to a constant stream of external cultural and political influence. The various imperialist powers set up industries in their colonies to make profits and thus paved the way for the industrialization of the colonies. The One ASEAN identity will continue to be nothing more than a political slogan. Modernization appeared to require such an approach, and the Thai did not hesitate to embrace it with enthusiasm. Their primary concerns were extending bureaucratic control and creating the conditions for success in a capitalist world economy; the chief necessity was stability or, as the Dutch called it, rust en orde (tranquility and order). Attempts made by the early nationalist leaders of Malaysia and Indonesia to create a Pan-Malay world lend further credence to the existence of long and deep affinities in the region (Mcintyre 1973). Only Siam remained largely intact and independent. There was no one process of decolonization. Tadem, Eduardo C. New Perspectives on Civil Society Engagement with ASEAN.

It prevents Southeast Asians from subscribing to multiple identities of being both a citizen of their nation and a member of the ASEAN Community. Greater interaction between ASEAN citizens will definitely go a long way in helping them to take the mental leap required to develop a common sense of belonging that transcends national boundaries. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is the main regional organization in Southeast Asia. National histories have to shift away from a mono-logical retelling of events to one that teaches it in the broader context of the region that reminds the people of ASEAN of the numerous, intersecting historical and cultural ties that exists amongst them.

There is a clear absence of we-ness among the people of ASEAN as any memories of a pre-colonial Southeast Asia linked by commerce, interdependency and a sense of shared space have become largely forgotten (Noor 2017: 9-15). The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is the main regional organization in Southeast Asia. This is also evident that from the fact that the ASEAN Economic Community remains the most well-funded pillar of ASEAN Vision 2020 while the least attention and resources are directed to the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community pillar. http://www.straitstimes.com/politics/pedra-branca-icj-to-hear-malaysias-challenge-in-june, Colonialism and ASEAN Identity: Inherited mental barriers hindering the formation of a collective ASEAN identity on Kyoto Review of Southeast Asia | Center for Southeast Asian Studies Kyoto University, last reading list for Dec 2018 hipsterbabas, From the editor: The spectre of digital authoritarianism for Southeast Asia.

This influences some of the systems like education and governance but also stagnated the growth and development in these areas. Aguilar Jr, Filomeno. Southeast Asian countries do not identify with each other in the same manner as articulated in the ASEAN Vision. From this point onwards, a subject under the British colonial rule would only be allowed to travel within the dominions of the British Empire (A Collection of Statutes Relating to the East India Company 1810). Colonialism is a practice of domination, which involves the subjugation of one people to another. The institution of kingship itself seemed to become more dynamic and intimately involved in the direction of the state. Unrestricted by any form of political borders or allegiance to a single locality, Southeast Asians constantly moved across the region. Between 1945 and 1960, three dozen new states in Asia and Africa achieved autonomy or outright independence from their European colonial rulers. _______________. The French justified their imperialism with a 'civilising mission', a pledge to develop backward nations. For instance, Singapore remains plagued by a siege mentality that views its neighbouring countries, Indonesia and Malaysia, with much suspicion and this mentality informs its diplomacy approaches and military doctrines in the region (Rahim 2009). While colonialism brought some positive changes, such as the introduction of new ideas and technologies, it also had negative consequences, such as economic inequality and political instability. Singapore: Institute of Southeast Asian Studies: 2005. Colonial powers began as early as the first decades of the sixteenth century. For instance, the Indonesians, Malaysians and Singaporeans have made repeated attempts to claim ownership over the shared heritage of the textile art of batik, shadow puppet theatre termed as the wayang kulit and traditional musical instruments such as the gamelan and angklung (Chong 2012). Oceana, and Asia (Western Society, 2004). The formal and informal networks formed by these organizations have shown to ignore the language game of exclusivity and instead cooperated for decades on regional issues (Tadem 2018). Southeast Asia was to be re-modelled as an economic space primarily ruled by the logics of rationalism and instrumentalism. National histories across the region are often written and retold in isolation, often with their independence struggle as the pre-given starting point and the respective nation-states as the main actor in the foreground (Noor 2017: 9-15). Stephen Dziedzic. Native inhabitants of these lands were forced to put up with settlers overuse of land, animals, and natural resources across the globe. He proposed to view ASEAN as a pluralistic security community (PSC) that has allowed for the management of conflict in the region without the use of force through a process of elite socialization of shared ASEAN norms (Acharya 2005). 2 (May 2007): 203-225. Its chapters unearth the contingency and contention that accompanied the establishment of nation-states . Detractors also often point out to the regions wide-ranging diversity as a main reason for the failure of regionalism. In his view, before reaching the state of integration, the formation of a common identity must first be attained before intensive cooperation among states can begin. As a result, there was never any real interest in the creation of the we-feeling type of community to begin with. Nor were the changes ineffectual, for by 1820 the large mainland states stood at the height of their powers. It was not the purpose of the new states to effect rapid or broad social change. He is also a member of the Young Leaders Program of the Honolulu-based Pacific Forum. Nischalke, Tobias. 1 (April 2004): 140-154.

Accessed 25 January, 2018. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/resources/the-world-factbook/. Originally established as a loose regional framework for confidence building between leaders of the nascent nation-states in Southeast Asia and a mechanism to manage the influence of superpowers in the region, ASEAN has developed over the years to become the primary diplomatic platform for Southeast Asian states to discuss regional political and security cooperation and have further expanded its focus in recent years to include economic and social integration (Vatikiotis 1999). These inherited colonial legacies would have serious implications on how international relations are conducted by the political elites of Southeast Asia and act as impediments to regional integration efforts. Thus, as aptly described by Jones and Smith, ASEAN remains largely an imitation community that are rhetorical shells and provides form but no substance to genuine regional integration (Jones and Smith 2002). Despite so, the political elites of ASEAN has thus far failed to develop a degree of ASEAN consciousness in both its bureaucrats and citizens that will nudge them to re-think themselves as a citizen of the wider ASEAN body. An Update of ASEAN Awareness and Attitudes A Ten Nation Survey Fact Sheet of Key Findings. Institute of Southeast Asian studies, August 2015. 1 (Summer 2007): 148-184. It will follow McMillan and Chaviss definition of a sense of community as a feeling that members have of belonging, a feeling that members matter to one another and to the group, and a shared faith that members needs will be met through their commitment to be together and Henri Tajfels definition of identity as part of an individuals self-concept which derives from his knowledge of his membership in a social group (or groups) together with the value and emotional significance attached to that membership (McMillan and Chavis 1986; Tajfel 1981). From the earliest days of imperialism, colonizers have had detrimental effects on the ecosystems that they invaded. Social change was desired only insofar as it might strengthen these activities. As Tan explains, cultural markers are able to create meaning for the peoples world when interwoven into their lives in the forms of mundane experience, ordinary actions, and common sense (Tan 2000). The Integration Theorists and the Study of International Relations. In The Global Agenda: Issues and Perspectives, edited by C.W. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1990. 3 (September 2009), 369-386. In the 1930s, however, a series of anticolonial revolts took place in Burma, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Motivated by a need for raw materials and new markets to sustain the industrial development of their metropoles, the European powers embarked on a series of colonizing missions between the 17th to 19th century in Southeast Asia (Christie 1996). Intra-regional people-to-people interaction at the ground level should therefore be highly encouraged. The newer generation, however, was more certain in its opposition to colonial rule (or, in Siam, rule by the monarchy), clearer and far more political in its conception of a nation, and unabashedly determined to seize leadership and initiative in their own societies. When forced to provide only a yes or no answer to the question of trust, 59.8% of the elites surveyed said they could not trust other countries in Southeast Asia to be good neighbours. "It's very .

However, Acharyas works have thus far only focused on elite-level socialization in examining the prospects for community building and have yet to discuss the role and interaction of the general populace. A few works by Hund (2010) and Narine (2004) have posited the persistence of a level of uncertainty among the political elites of ASEAN in their domestic political legitimacy as a key variable in their reluctance to create a unified ASEAN community and collective ASEAN identity. Theorizing ASEAN Integration. Asian Perspective 35, no. As argued by Farish Noor, there is at present no common history curriculum that captures the manifold overlaps and continuities in Southeast Asian history, or which reflects the manner in which many communities that exist in the region today are really the net result of centuries of inter-mingling, overlapping and hybridity (Noor 2017: 9-15). We will discuss the motivations behind British colonial expansion, as well as the effects that imperialism had on both colonized and . In the nineteenth century, the contradiction between . When the outbreak of war in Europe and the Pacific showed that the colonial powers were much weaker militarily than had been imagined, destroying colonial rule and harnessing the power of the masses seemed for the first time to be real possibilities. During the colonization period in Asia, Spain trying to find a new route to the Spice Islands, Ferdinand Magellan disembarked upon the Philippines on March 16, 1561. These negative effects are caused by over-exploitation, oppression, discrimination, enslavement, policy imposition, and capitalism (Dvila & La-Montes, 2001). This continuity in oppositional dialectics from the colonial era and the unconditional acceptance of inherited political borders as a given reality hinders the re-imagining of the region as a collective community with a shared past, present and future. Effects of colonialism in asia.The colonists had a new audience to push towards the religion of Christianity. Big Cats, Fallen Trees, and Everyday Impunity, or Do Environmental Politics Still Matter in Thailand? . 4 (November 2012): 400-415. 1 (2005): 95-118. ASEAN can be argued to be more of a community of convenience that acts as a functional tool for political elites rather than a genuine community of shared vision and collective identity. Neither effort was successful, though not for want of trying. These would lay the groundwork for political identities to be based on exclusivity and complicate the quest for nation-building and regionalism after independence was achieved by the colonial states.
