Third, ASEAN economic regionalism was initiated for the construction of an integrated market to attract FDl to fill the national economy. However, the prominent role of state in the regional economy makes the “ASEAN Way” important in the economic cooperation thus the AEC are created not as a free flowing market, instead, as one market carefully sustained by states. |
