‘The Elgar Companion to ASEAN is perhaps the most comprehensive and
relevant overview of ASEAN available today. The Companion provides
a truly elaborate and learned account of almost every aspect of
ASEAN that can be considered relevant in determining its shape in
the modern era. It looks at issues of theory, identity,
institution-building, democracy and governance, civil society, and
security and economic development from within ASEAN. From outside
of ASEAN, it examines the organization’s relationship with the
powerful external actors and institutions that influence ASEAN’s
development and mission. All of the chapters are well-written and
argued and display an impressive depth of knowledge and analysis.
Overall, this is one of the best and most rewarding overviews of
ASEAN that I have encountered.’
