ASEAN Economic Community Law and Policy

ASEAN leaders agreed to create a single market - the ASEAN Economic Community - by 2015. Due to sovereignty concerns, ASEAN leaders did not create a single supranational authority to regulate this market. This course examines how ASEAN member states and institutions are filling in the vacuum through formal and informal means. In the context of international law and inter-state organizations, students will understand the emerging interactions between regional policymaking and domestic laws and policies and the prospects for ASEAN as an economic entity governed by rules.
