The birth of the ASEAN Community in 2007 has strengthened a long ignored part of ASEAN, i.e., humanitarian assistance and development. The three major pillars of the ASEAN Community have either direct or indirect influence on the institutional expansion and capacity building of ASEAN’s humanitarianism-related tasks. The direct influence is usually derived from the ASEAN Political and Security Community and the ASEAN Social and Cultural Community, while the indirect influence can rest on the advance of the ASEAN Economic Community. Meanwhile, leaders of ASEAN also work with extra-regional state and non-state actors to ensure the positive humanitarian development within the region of Southeast Asia. Yet, due to the principle of non-interference and the lack of resources, ASEAN’s early effort — mainly in capacity building — has apparently been less effective after the brief study of three cases.

The article argues that the role of the ABAC remains and will be defined by the overall evolution of ASEAN’s modality of cooperation reflecting its potential and limitations.

AbstractThe ASEAN Economic Community is marked by a range of specific programmes to make economic regionalism a successful reality. Yet, the economic liberalisation programme is a narrow one, without any clear economic development direction outside of its confines. Economic integration is also being driven by select corporate interests. States are not paying sufficient attention to ASEAN's working populations. For ordinary persons to benefit from economic liberalisation and integration, ASEAN states would need to put them at the centre of their development programmes.
