Abstract: Abstract The Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) was brought into being by the Bangkok Declaration, signed in August 1967. ASEAN originally consisted of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Thailand, and expanded its membership to include Brunei in 1984 and Vietnam in 1995. One of the most successful regional organizations among industrializing countries, ASEAN rose to the challenges of the Cold War and the Cambodian crisis, and has been adapting itself to the recent developments in the Asia-Pacific political economy. How, then, has ASEAN fitted into the regime dynamics of the Asia-Pacific region? What role have the ASEAN states played in the process of regime formation?
