The first formal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emeeting between ASEAN and the European Economic Community (EEC) took place in June 1972\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(Lim 2012: 47) and was the first of its kind between the precursor to the EU and another regional\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eentity. Nowadays, the relationship is widely considered as a model for interregional relations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(Camroux 2009: 4). However, there are many obstacles impeding a further institutionalisation of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eregion-to-region relations. Negotiations about the enhancement of the cooperation often have stalled\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eduring the past decades and the progress of interregional convergence proceeds slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe following essay will answer the question whether region-to-region relations between the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEU and ASEAN are possible and analyse their degree of the institutionalisation. In order to draw a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epicture of the development towards interregional cooperation, the essay will summarise the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehistorical emergence of the relationship and identify the obstacles within the current state of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einteractions. The author will present the argument that region-to-region relations are possible and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ealready exist. However, he will point out that, because of ASEAN's lacking capacities, the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einterregional relations continue to be limited to certain fields and agreements in the economical and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epolitical domain remain mostly bi- and multilateral. The essay will explain the structures of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ealready existing interregional cooperation and stress how an enhanced relationship would be\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebeneficial for both organisations. Finally, it will summarise its findings and provide an outlook for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783656629238\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783656629238","offer_id":39446637838429,"sku":"9783656629238","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/dc426352-d490-4ec3-ab1f-d3855b302330.jpg?v=1778135143","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/are-region-to-region-relations-between-the-eu-and-asean-possible-von-martin-hiebsch","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
