The Making of Southeast Asia
\"Amitav Acharya has written a splendidly ambitious book. Travelling from the discipline of International Relations to the historiography of Southeast Asia and back again, it draws upon a range of methodologies to analyse the issue of identity in the configuration of Southeast Asia. But it provides more than an academic assessment. With this book, Acharya must be judged to have contributed not just to the study of Southeast Asian regionalism, but to the process itself.\"

50 years of ASEAN and Singapore
\"On the 8th of August 2017, ASEAN will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its founding. ASEAN is of great importance to Singapore, the region and the world. In 1967, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN in short, was founded by five countries in Southeast Asia which had just gained independence from their former colonial masters, united by a determination for the region to live in peace and stability. Singapore was one of the five founding members of ASEAN, together with Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. The grouping was joined later by Brunei (1984), Vietnam (1995), Laos and Myanmar (1997), and finally, Cambodia (1999). ASEAN is today a very successful inter-governmental organization which promotes peace, stability, economic development and regional integration. This volume brings together 50 essays written by Singaporeans who have played a part in the partnership between ASEAN and Singapore. The reader will be able to glean an insight into the workings of ASEAN and Singapore's contributions to ASEAN through the lens of diplomats, academics, civil society leaders and officials\"--Provided by publisher.

COVERING ASEAN FOR THREE DECADES
“It was so boring. Why do you keep on covering ASEAN?” asked a rookie journalist from Khao Sod Daily at the Cha-am Summit, Hua Hin, in February 2009.
“Nobody else does it”, I replied without hesitation.
That was a very pompous answer given to a 21-year-old beat reporter who was in a hurry to know why I have been so consistent in reporting on the affairs of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) — a subject she found herself disinterested in and disconnected from. Actually, there are better reasons why following ASEAN affairs can be rewarding, engaging, fun and educational…
