Prerequisites (description)

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is the second largest regional integration organization in the world after the European Union and at the same time the most populous. As part of the integration process, which has been ongoing since 1967, ASEAN countries have developed their own model of functioning and conducting foreign policy, affecting all Asian countries and on a global scale. Their foreign policy shapes the security architecture in Asia-Pacific in all its aspects. China's assertive policy in the region since the last decade of the 20th century, as well as rivalry with the US and India, pose a major threat to ASEAN's central position in the Asia-Pacific region and the functioning model of member states' foreign and security policy.
