Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN adalah salah satu pilar pembentukan Komunitas ASEAN dan merupakan bentuk integrasi ekonomi regional yang mulai di berlakukan pada tahun 2015. Pemberlakuan tersebut akan menjadikan ASEAN sebagai pasar tunggal dan basis produksi dimana terjadi arus barang, jasa, investasi dan tenaga terampil yang bebas serta aliran modal yang bebas antar-negara di kawasan ASEAN. Arus bebas tenaga kerja terampil tersebut harus dimanfaatkan oleh Indonesia sebagai peluang dalam menyerap tenaga kerja dan mengurangi pengangguran. Hal yang menjadi permasalahan adalah bagaimanakah kebijakan pemerintah dalam bidang ketenagakerjaan dalam mempersiapkan tenaga kerja terampil menghadapi Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN 2015. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat berbagai kebijakan dalam bidang ketenagakerjaan yang mendukung terciptanya Sumber Daya Manusia yang berkualitas atau tenaga kerja terampil. Maka dari itu, Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan dan berbagai kebijakan lain yang mengamanatkan pemberian pelatihan kerja serta pembentukan Badan Nasional Sertifikasi Profesi yang bertugas memberikan sertifikasi kompetensi kerja harus dioptimalkan, guna mempersiapkan tenaga kerja terampil, berkualitas dan berdaya saing serta diakui oleh negara ASEAN lainnya dalam menghadapi Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN 2015.<p>ASEAN Economic Community is one of the pillars of the establishment of the ASEAN Community which formally as a form of regional economic integration that will enter into force by 2015.

Free flow of skilled labor should be used by Indonesia as an opportunity to absorb employment and reducing unemployment. The issue of this subject is how the government policy in the field of labor in preparing skilled labour in facing the ASEAN Economic Community 2015. By using the method of juridical normative research can be concluded that there are a variety of employment policies supporting the creation of high quality human resources or skilled labor.Thus, Law of Republic of Indonesia Number 13 year 2003 on Employment and another regulations that mandate the provision of vocational training and the establishment of the National Professional Certification which in charge of certifying the competence of work must be optimized in order to prepare skilled labour, high quality and having competitiveness and recognized by the other ASEAN countries in facing the ASEAN Economic Community 2015.</p>

The findings in this article defy the common assumption that the free market, including the formation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in Southeast Asia, is correlated with the creation of a spillover and complex interdependency, reducing conflicts between countries in the region. This finding could well contribute as a theory in the academic sphere and as policies in the practical world. The author uses a theoretical framework of structural realism to explain the potential conflict between countries of the Southeast Asian region. There are four potential conflict situations among countries in the implementation of AEC: firstly, the structure of economic disparity. This situation would construct an identity of in-group – out-group or “us” versus “them” in the context of who gains and loses in the AEC. Secondly, similarity of natural resources. This fact led the Southeast Asian countries to compete and create standardization wherein each party is in hostile competition to claim valid findings and arguments associated with efforts to reduce or stop the flow of imports into their respective countries. Thirdly, competition among businesses, in which AEC constructed free market could potentially provoke the emergence of regional trading cartel. Fourthly, the structure of military power. Historical records show that any economic growth occurring in a country will be accompanied by the growth of its military budget.
