Abstract: Abstract After enumerating economic characteristics that motivate interest in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), this chapter provides an overview of the geography (political and physical) and history (covering early identity and a chronology of external influences, as well as the more recent impact of European colonization and Japanese occupation) of the region. It then gives a short description of the genesis of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the ASEAN Economic community (AEC). Finally, there is an overview of the economies of the member nations of the AEC and the region in general, including the digital economy.
