Sammendrag
This thesis deals on integration of ASEAN. The primary objective of this thesis is to find out the
potential of ASEAN to be politically and economically integrated like EU, and the kind of
difficulties it may face in a mid way. Since EU is a pioneer and benchmark for any integration
and ASEAN takes EU as a reference, I choose EU as a base to compare the progress of ASEAN.
As for the theoretical aspect, integration theory and its importance in global scenario is discussed.
The research sought after the way ahead for ASEAN. This study is based on a comparative
analysis of the development of both EU and ASEAN. The information and literature needed for
the thesis will be collected from open source, which is easily accessible to all.
After analyzing the historical background, present development and future prospect, I think
ASEAN is turning out to be the successful regional cooperation. Even though ASEAN took
reference from EU in its development, It don´t need to be like EU. Being the cooperation from
different group of differently diversified nations, It can pave its own way forward and can lay
good precedent for other upcoming regional co-operations.
