ASEAN @50Volume 4: Building ASEAN Community: Political-Security and Socio-cultural Reflections
(ERIA, 2017)
ASEAN has gradually built, on the basis of both shared interests and common principles and norms, various practices and mechanisms that helped prevent conflict among its members and allowed it to play an autonomous role in shaping the regional security architecture.

Part A of this volume looks at the processes and dynamics, challenges, and opportunities of ASEAN ... -
Is There a Southeast Asian Development Model?
(Department of International Economic Policy Institute for Economic Research University of Freiburg, 2014)
The 10 states of Southeast Asia have combined to form the developing world’s most successful and durable regional grouping, the Association of Southeast Asian Na-tions, ASEAN.

The impact of Confucianism on interpersonal relationships and communication patterns in east Asia
(Communication Monographs, 1988)
It is argued that East Asian communication patterns differ from those of North America because of the Eastern emphasis on social relationships as opposed to the North American emphasis on individualism. This East Asian preoccupation with social relationships stems from the doctrines of Confucianism, which considers proper human relationships to be the basis of society. The cardinal principle of Confucianism is humanism, which is understood as a warm human feeling between people and strongly emphasizes reciprocity. As a philosophy of humanism and ... -

(Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University, 2021)

Second, it examines the niche occupied by applied sciences, particularly nutrition, agriculture, and medicine, in nation building. Between 1946 and 1965, Philippine presidents understood science functionally, in terms of harnessing the country’s natural resources for economic development; and strategically, in terms of the Philippines being a regional leader of the free world in Southeast ... -

The publication reviews the evolution of ASEAN economic integration and assesses the major achievements. It also examines the challenges that have emerged during ...
