By the end of the 19th century, a number of imperial colonies was established which placed Southeast Asia under the firm control of the European powers. They must be made aware of the artificiality of modern-day national boundaries and accept that elements of commonality in history, culture, ethnicity and geographies exists in the region.

In ASEAN @ 50 Volume 4, Building ASEAN Community: Political-Security and Socio-cultural Reflections, edited by Aileen Baviera and Larry Maramis, 25-38. _____________. 5 (May 2011): 762. ASEAN can be argued to be more of a community of convenience that acts as a functional tool for political elites rather than a genuine community of shared vision and collective identity. Similar to Benedict Andersons imagined community of a nation; a regional identity can also be imagined (Anderson 1983). in Burma/Myanmar. However, Acharyas works have thus far only focused on elite-level socialization in examining the prospects for community building and have yet to discuss the role and interaction of the general populace. In addition, despite the fact that the imperative to create a shared sense of ASEAN belonging and we-feeling comes from the political elites and bureaucrats of ASEAN themselves, it may remain a challenge to expect such a mental leap to be taken and led by them due to the nature of their role, interest and responsibilities. 6 (November/December 2012): 1043-1066. These would lay the groundwork for political identities to be based on exclusivity and complicate the quest for nation-building and regionalism after independence was achieved by the colonial states. The result is a highly apathetic population who are more concerned about what happens within their country but remain unconnected and largely unaware of the region. Unintentionally, of course. From neighbourhood watch group to community? Looking at Malaysia and Singapore as a case study will show how two states have managed to dampen violence and achieve a degree of cohesion despite the legacies of colonialism, Japanese occupation, and decolonization. This ideological worldview as imposed by colonialism is deeply embedded into the consciousness of Southeast Asians and continues to be perpetuated by the ruling political elites. 3 (2004): 573598. In the ASEAN Vision 2020 declaration, the ASEAN leaders have indicated a desire for an ASEAN community conscious of its ties of history, aware of its cultural heritage and bound by a common regional identity. (Association of Southeast Asian Nation, 2018). A sort of a mental leap must be taken. These challenges would require ASEAN member states to re-orientate their course of actions for closer cooperation in order to act as a counterweight against these external powers attempting to influence events in the region and this ability is invariably tied to the degree of cohesion within ASEAN (Yoshimatsu 2012). This continuity in oppositional dialectics from the colonial era and the unconditional acceptance of inherited political borders as a given reality hinders the re-imagining of the region as a collective community with a shared past, present and future. Philippine Literatures in a Derridean Sense: A Problem of (Re)versing the Region? Attempts made by the early nationalist leaders of Malaysia and Indonesia to create a Pan-Malay world lend further credence to the existence of long and deep affinities in the region (Mcintyre 1973). A few works by Hund (2010) and Narine (2004) have posited the persistence of a level of uncertainty among the political elites of ASEAN in their domestic political legitimacy as a key variable in their reluctance to create a unified ASEAN community and collective ASEAN identity.

They hoped to build a sense of territorial ownership in the people instead of relying on loyalty to the rulers. Also, not discussed in this thesis are the legal frameworks and economic union of ASEAN that are often posited as practical challenges to the regional integration project. Such a worldview was to undergo a massive transformation during colonial rule. The language at play highlights the paramount status of national sovereignty and interest before regional solidarity in the eyes of the political elites of ASEAN. Instead, they regard their Bajau homeland as one that extends far from the Sulawesi Sea to the Palawan of the Philippines and continue to reside and ply their trade across these waters (Morgan 2018). Big Cats, Fallen Trees, and Everyday Impunity, or Do Environmental Politics Still Matter in Thailand? Steinberg, David Joel. 1 (June 2010): 99-122 In some areas, it was peaceful, and orderly. Modernization appeared to require such an approach, and the Thai did not hesitate to embrace it with enthusiasm. It was a living reality for each individual Southeast Asian living in the pre-colonial era to possess multiple identities and having a sense of belonging that was not solely determined by ones place of birth (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia 2014: 209-231). The United States destroyed the Spanish fleet stationed in the Philippines, and encouraged rebel leaders there to declare independence. A map of Asia by Sebastian Munster dated in 1598 further illustrate the absence of territorial boundaries across the entire Southeast Asia region and depicted the region as a continuum in which its inhabitants perceived it as a shared common space (Munster 1598). They also do not appear to have experienced the same degree of rural unrest that troubled their colonial neighbours in the 1920s and 30s. The article argues that as national interests and an exclusive worldview predominates in ASEAN, it remains an arduous task for the generation of the kind of we-feeling that is required to fulfill the goals as articulated in the ASEAN Vision 2020. 4 They argue that an inherent tension between state sovereignty and regionalism exists as political elites are more concerned with the building of a stable, legitimate sovereign state as a vital prerequisite before the building of a strong regional community and identity (Hund 2010). Its members have remained largely indifferent to the plight of its counterparts except when it infringes on their national interest and sovereignty.

Often dismissed as pseudo-intellectuals by the Western colonial governments and prevented from obtaining any real stake in the state, the new intellectuals under the Japanese were accorded positions of real (though not unlimited or unsupervised) authority. /asiapacific/commentary-colonialism-s-long-shadow-over-southeast-asia-today-7887758. Although France sought an extensive colonial empire in Asia, its defeat in the Napoleonic Wars left it with just a handful of Asian territories. 1 (2005): 95-118. Such integration would need to make people feel that they belong to a shared community and that they are all fellow stakeholders with a common destiny (ibid.). The most important reasons for the change were a growing Western technological superiority, an increasingly powerful European mercantile community in Southeast Asia, and a competitive scramble for strategic territory.

This is also evident that from the fact that the ASEAN Economic Community remains the most well-funded pillar of ASEAN Vision 2020 while the least attention and resources are directed to the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community pillar. Koi Kye Lee. S. Rajaratnam School of InternationalStudies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, 22 February 2012. Located at the crossroad between China and India, the region has historically been exposed to a constant stream of external cultural and political influence. By 1886 the rest of the region had been divided among the British, French, Dutch, and Spanish (who soon were replaced by the Americans), with the Portuguese still clinging to the island of Timor. Southeast AsiaSocial conditions20th century. _____________. Jones, Michael E. Forging an ASEAN Identity: The Challenge to Construct a Shared Destiny. Contemporary Southeast Asia 26, no.

Another obstacle was that the ordinary people, especially outside cities and towns, inhabited a different social and cultural world from that of the emerging leaders. In addition, his evidence for the existence of a collective identity remains focused on functional aspects, namely, member states adherence to ASEAN norms such as the principle of non-interference and absolute respect for national sovereignty (Acharya 2005). See South China Sea dispute; Malaysia-Singapore dispute over the Pedra Blanca/Pulau Batu Puteh; Malaysia-Indonesia dispute over the Sipadan and Litigan Islands.Jones and Smith (2002) would not have continued to dismiss ASEAN community as an imitation community with no substance. Any memory of pre-colonial affinities and collective past that could have formed the foundation of a regional identity has also been eroded (Noor 2014). What's more, their level of . Like their colonial rulers, the political elites continue to perceive the region as primarily an economic space and securitized region. Indeed, colonial domination was only a variant condition in a rapidly changing world. From these, it is clear that the sanctity of national sovereignty and principles of non-interference as inherited under colonial rule continues to inform diplomatic relations in the region and has become the guiding principle of ASEAN. Intra-regional people-to-people interaction at the ground level should therefore be highly encouraged. Southeast Asia was changed in an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, way by the Japanese occupation. ASEAN is ultimately made up of ten diverse countries with very different political system, geography, culture, religion, economy and vulnerabilities (Roberts 2011). McMillan, David W. and David M. Chavis. 2 (May 2015): 259-280.

In Southeast Asia, colonialism did have the positive effect of European investment and construction of canals and irrigation systems. However, the colonization of endophytes may overcome obstacles, and plants have developed several mechanisms to counteract the fungal attack, including the synthesis of defensive phytochemicals. By the end of colonial rule, the once multi-faceted and fluid identity of Southeast Asian has been replaced with institutionalized, singular identities narrowly based on political allegiance to a nation-state and social allegiance to an ethnic community. There is perhaps a reason for this. Siam, which through a combination of circumstance and the wise leadership of Mongkut (ruled 185168) and Chulalongkorn (18681910) avoided Western rule, nevertheless was compelled to adopt policies similar to, and often even modeled on, those of the colonial powers in order to survive. London: Tauris Academic Studies, 1996. Recent developments in Southeast Asia, particularly in India, Japan, and Hong Kong, tell volumes about this project. From the 16th century until the 20th century, the major colonizers in Southeast Asia were European powers, including the British, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese.

Khoo further argues that ASEAN continues to be an intergovernmental neighbourhood watch group that is still far off from the ASEAN Community it envisions (Khoo 2000). 3 Jones and Smith (2002) would not have continued to dismiss ASEAN community as an imitation community with no substance. British colonialism and imperialism were some of the most powerful forces in world history. For ASEAN to develop a collective identity that will lead to the formation of a genuine, shared ASEAN community, a significant mental leap must be taken by the citizens of ASEAN to internalize the logic of overlapping identities and re-imagine the region. Laos's civil law system is based specifically off of the French model. Right from India to Africa, people were being enslaved and taken to the mother country. For instance, Malaysias history cannot be explained in a manner that disregards the histories of the neighboring countries of Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. Theorizing ASEAN Integration.

Cambodia and Thailand continue to lock horns over the ownership of the Preah Vihear temple and the jeeb dance gesture while Malaysia and Singapore continue to see spats over shared cuisines such as the noodle dish laksa and the meat stew bak kut teh (ibid.). A political vocabulary underpinned by the logics of geopolitical division, territoriality, ethnic-cultural differences and national interest became the dominant language of governmentality in the region. Secondly, the strategic location of ASEAN states means that it will always remain an area of contestation between external major powers (Prasetyono 2007: 109-116; Steinberg 1971). Malaysian politicians and media often play up bilateral disputes by criticising Singapore or accuse the country of spying within Malaysian territory. As a starting point, the citizens of ASEAN will need to depart from their present understanding of the regions history, accept the artificiality of the modern-day national boundaries and develop a greater awareness of the close historical and cultural linkages that exist among them. The country's postcolonial rulers seized the advantages left them by the British empire and used them, for the most part, for the benefit of wider society. Examples are aplenty such as in the case of the sacking of the Thai embassy in Cambodia in 2003 or the oft-repeated verbal attacks made by Malaysia politicians on Singapore. Thus, they generally cast doubts for any sovereign states to be genuinely interested in the building of a shared community that is anchored on we-feelings. These cultural contestations exist precisely because genuine cultural linkages and interactions that transcend modern day national boundaries have existed prior to colonialism. Initially founded by the five member-states of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand on 8 August 1967, it has since expanded to include Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia and now encompasses 10 countries of differing ethnicities, political systems, cultures . From its roots as an inward-looking multilateral regional arrangement, ASEAN has since expanded its geographical scope to engage with external powers in the Asia Pacific region through the creation of modalities such as the ASEAN Regional Forum in 1994, ASEAN Plus Three (China, Japan and Republic of Korea) in 1997 and East Asia Summit in 2005 (Prasetyono 2007: 109-116).

Politically, colonialism can be considered as a form of dictatorship because it imposes and maintains violence (Rodney, 1982). Virtually all of the mobilization efforts, however, were based on Japanese models, and the new rulers were frustrated to discover that Southeast Asians did not behave in the same fashion as Japanese. Ethnic Identities and National Identities: Some Examples from Malaysia. Identities 6, no. 3 (2004): 423-450. A long-term affect of imperialism in Southeast Asia is the civil law system in many countries in Southeast Asia today.

Indochina is a region that today we would consider as Southeast Asia, comprised of Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam (Indochina, 2001). and Evelyn Colbert. Narine, Shaun. Still, for two distinct reasons the period does represent a break from the past. One example is how Singapores national identity is attached to the idea of exceptionalism that portrays the country as an economically advanced, meritocratic, multi-ethnic state as opposed to the constitutive other of economically backward, corrupted, communal states in the region. However, as ASEAN moves into the twenty-first century, global disruptive forces have challenged the integrity and stability of ASEAN and its member states. 1 (2002): 93-109.
