The works of Caporaso and Kim (2009); Hooghe and Marks (2004); Mayer and Palmowski (2004); similarly suggests that the existence of a collective identity and we-feeling is essential in working as a catalyst for the regional integration process. A significant feature is the fact that so many Western countries were involved in this colonization -- Portuguese Spanish, Dutch, British, French . ASEAN itself was formed out of a common fear of being dragged into the Cold War conflict and not an attempt at the revival of pre-colonial cultural linkages (Vatikiotis 1999). ASEAN Vision 2020. Accessed 15 January, 2018. http://asean.org/?static_post=asean-vision-2020.

Within the colonies themselves, the colonial rulers also imported their Social Darwinism beliefs and instituted a series of divisive policies and social structures which developed an othering mindset among its colonial subjects. For example, Pohnpei, an island state of the Federated States of . I. ASEAN has also gone on to achieve some success in regional economic integration projects with a number of agreements signed in principle on the setting up of free trade zones, abolishment of tariffs, product standards and conformity (Severino 2007: 17-24). It is at culture that I tend to stop praising the merits of neo-colonialism, both the impacts from political and economical viewpoints of colonialism are seemingly more unfavourable than those of culture. Ahmad, Kassim. There was no one process of decolonization. Instead, they would recognize ASEAN as purely a practical instrument with pragmatic functions. 4 (December 2015), 421-440.

They divided villages and ethnic communities to make territories into countries with borders. In addition, there is a need to refrain from the selective appropriation of history to make nationalistic claims. In their view, Southeast Asia is a modern, artificial construct that has no essentialist-reductivist basis to it and any attempts at regional identity building would only flounder in the face of intra-regional diversity and conflicts (Kurlantzick 2012). This influences some of the systems like education and governance but also stagnated the growth and development in these areas. First, since some countries in Southeast Asia are still experiencing state-building challenges, there is a need for a clear definition and a modicum of consensus on what constitutes neo-colonialism. London: Tauris Academic Studies, 1996. In worst case scenarios, histories of pre-colonial wars and conflicts between ancient kingdoms are abused to foster a sense of national identity based on antagonistic terms, such as in the case of Thailands history textbook that depicts the neighbouring countries of Burma and Cambodia as enemies of Siam (taught as a precursor to the Kingdom of Thailand) in order to perpetuate a collective perception of external threat in which all Thai has to unite against (Aguilar Jr 2017). 3 (2004): 415420.

A native of the Mandailing community living in Sumatra should be able to identify himself/herself as an ethnic Mandailing, an Indonesian and a contributing ASEAN member all at once. "What impact did Western imperialism and colonialism have on Asia" That Colonialism and imperialism played a significant role in shaping the modern world and particularly Asia is a prudent judgment. Politically, colonialism can be considered as a form of dictatorship because it imposes and maintains violence (Rodney, 1982). Pedra Blanca: ICJ to hear Malaysias challenge in June. The Straits Times, April 7, 2018. http://www.straitstimes.com/politics/pedra-branca-icj-to-hear-malaysias-challenge-in-june. A History of French Colonialism's Effect on the Environment. Though resistance was not impossible, it was difficult, especially since the rulers and their courts were now largely beholden to the Dutch for their positions. With over four hundred different ethno-religious groups, pre-colonial Southeast Asia was a kaleidoscopic world of cultural and linguistic heterogeneity (Andaya and Andaya 2015). They hoped to build a sense of territorial ownership in the people instead of relying on loyalty to the rulers. ASEAN is ultimately made up of ten diverse countries with very different political system, geography, culture, religion, economy and vulnerabilities (Roberts 2011). Singapore: Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, 2006. 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 .

A study by Azmawati and Quayle (2017) shows that even at the university level, students in Southeast Asia are often very unfamiliar with the organization, goals and progress of the ASEAN Community. Consider the effect of Western (and in particular European) colonialism. The French colonisation of Vietnam began in earnest in the 1880s and lasted six decades. Given the arduous tasks of nation-building that seeks to unite the disparate ethnic and religious communities within the political boundaries are inherited from the colonial rulers, the governments of nascent Southeast Asian states forged national identities based on constructed, distinctive national characteristics and values that supposedly sets them apart from their neighbours (Narine 2004). Desker, Barry and Ang Chen Guan. Nation Branding in Post-Coup Thailand: A Strategy for Political Legitimation? The Dutch created exclusive schools for the indigenous administrative elitea kind of petty royaltyand invented ways of reducing social mobility in this group, as, for example, by making important positions hereditary. 2 (August 2005): 165-185. As Benedict Anderson postulates on the possibilities of nation-states as imagined communities, so can a regional identity exist as an ontological object of the mind if Southeast Asians are able to re-imagine a contemporary Southeast Asia not solely defined by territorial borders and exclusive national identity (Anderson 1983). To this end, ASEAN political elites have embarked on a project to build an integrated ASEAN Community anchored on a collective ASEAN identity. Imagined community: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. However, it is not the intention of this article to argue for the utility and benefits for the creation of a shared ASEAN Community and collective ASEAN identity.

Under such a shared, borderless geographical space, different ethnic groups and polities intersected and commingled to create extensive, regularized patterns of interactions. A few leaders perhaps had been naive enough to think that it mightand some others clearly admired the Japanese and found it acceptable to work with thembut on the whole the attitude of intellectuals was one of caution and, very quickly, realization that they were now confronted with another, perhaps more formidable and ferocious, version of colonial rule. The Dayaks of Borneo have similarly refuse to accept the modern day national boundaries imposed upon them and continue to straddle the borders of Kalimantan (Indonesia) and Sarawak (Malaysia) in their everyday lives (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia 2014, 209-231). 1 (January 1973): 75-83. 4 (November 2012): 603-628.

The same language games played by the colonial functionaries continue to be played by the political elites of Southeast Asia which informs present-day sensibilities in the statecraft, economy and international relations of the region. Full-blown, modern colonial states existed for only a short period, in many cases for not much more than a generation. Association of Southeast Asian Nation. As a starting point, the citizens of ASEAN will need to depart from their present understanding of the regions history and develop a greater awareness of the close historical and cultural linkages that exist between them and their counterparts in other member states. ASEAN and evolving power relations in East Asia: strategies and constraints. Contemporary Politics 18, no. 3 Jones and Smith (2002) would not have continued to dismiss ASEAN community as an imitation community with no substance. ASEAN leaders themselves have acknowledged the need to develop a sense of regional belonging among the general population of ASEAN and have taken steps to imbue a sense of collective identity (Caballero-Anthony 2005). In September of 1954, the United States, France, Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan formed the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, or SEATO. This is hardly surprising given that the ASEAN community process remains largely state-centric and mostly elite-driven with little done thus far to draw in the citizenry into the ambit of regional interaction (Moorthy and Benny 2013). Since the colonists usually used brute force to conquer a land to colonize, it would create conflict with the natives. Malaysia reject proposal by Philippine government committee to claim Sabah as 13th federal state. Channel NewsAsia, January 31, 2018. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/malaysia-rejects-proposal-by-philippine-government-committee-to-9913514. Tobias Nischalkes (2002) empirical analysis of ASEAN shows that ASEANs member states have exhibited very little mutual identification with each other in their policy behavior from the late 1980s to the late 1990s when confronted with crucial regional security problems. 7. Motivated by a need for raw materials and new markets to sustain the industrial development of their metropoles, the European powers embarked on a series of colonizing missions between the 17th to 19th century in Southeast Asia (Christie 1996). Christopher B. Roberts, The ASEAN Community: Trusting Thy Neighbour?,, Mandailing is an ethnic group living in North Sumatra, Indonesia that is often incorrectly categorized with other ethnic groups as Batak.

How Indonesia sees ASEAN and the world a cursory survey of the social studies and history textbooks of Indonesia, from primary to secondary level. RSIS Working Paper no. Prasetyono, Edy. New Haven: Yale University Press.Google Scholar. A possible explanation for this absence of identification with the ASEAN identity is that the people of Southeast Asia continue to be trapped in a language game inherited from the colonial era which has defined national identities based on the notion of exclusivity and a worldview that accepts modern state boundaries as a given political reality. Pham, Quang Minh. From the Editor: Southeast Asias Artful Diplomacy? ASEAN centrality in these key regional platforms has afforded it with a voice at the global level (Vejjajiva 2017: 89-102). According to Karl W. Deutsch, the building of a community occurs only when a group of people develop common values to the point whereby a sense of we feeling and solidarity is shared among its members (Deutsch et al, 1957). _____________. A true ASEAN community cannot be built based on elite-level interactions and belief alone. The most serious circumstances were undoubtedly those of Vietnam, where from 1771 to 1802 there raged a strugglethe Tay Son rebellionover the very nature of the state. Under such an arrangement, it is not surprising that commonalities between states are often only highlighted wherever mutual benefit exists (Jones 2015). As this article has shown, this need for ASEAN to re-define itself emanates from the political elites of ASEAN themselves. Europeans created more realistic and distinct boundaries between Southeast Asia territories that were ruled by sultans and kings. This was based largely on perceptions that taxes were too numerous and too high, bureaucratic control too tight and too prone to corruption, and labour too coercively extracted. The article would further propose that the ASEAN Identity and ASEAN Community will continue to exist only in form but not in substance if a mental leap to re-imagine the region is not taken by the political elites and people of ASEAN. 3 (December 2004): 416-433. These colonial regimes, however, were not insubstantial, as they put down strong bureaucratic roots andthough often co-opting existing administrative apparatusesformed centralized disciplined structures of great power. . The great political and social structures of the classical states had begun to decay, and, although the reasons for this disintegration are not altogether clear, the expanded size of the states, the greater complexity of their societies, and the failure of older institutions to cope with change all must have played a part. A collective worldview can act as an emotional glue that binds the citizens of ASEAN together with a resonant common interpretation of the past, present, and future of the region. 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. Non-Traditional Security Challenges, Regional, Governance, and the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC). Asia Security Initiative Policy Series Working Paper no. Lingering effects of colonialism. Since the first contact with Westerners, starting with the Portuguese and Spanish explorers, the islands have been colonized by various European and Asian countries. Despite the immense amount of scholarly work carried out on ASEAN, existing literature seems unable to provide a satisfactory answer to this predicament. Bima Prawira Utama, PhD candidate, Universitas Padjadjaran, Indonesia, Philippines 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. Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia.

They neglect the possible influence of ideational elements on state behavior which is critical to the formation of any collective community. Detractors also often point out to the regions wide-ranging diversity as a main reason for the failure of regionalism. Most literature focuses on the security and economic dimension of ASEAN, which despite its importance, is inadequate in the discussion of a formation of a genuine regional community anchored on a collective identity. 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. The purpose of the organization was to prevent communism from gaining ground in the region. . 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. Only through such efforts will there be greater understanding, awareness and appreciation of the regions interconnectedness that will aid the people of ASEAN in shedding their mental barriers of exclusive national identities and develop a sentiment of common belonging and shared destiny. The fact that the principle of non-interference is upheld as the working principle of ASEAN since its founding is an indication of such a mindset. Some, like the Tonkin Free School in Vietnam (1907), were closed by the colonial regimes, their staffs and pupils hounded by police; others, like the many so-called wild schools in Indonesia in the 1930s, were much too numerous to do away with altogether, but they were controlled as carefully as possible. 1 (April 2017): 127-148. In the mental map of Southeast Asians, the lines of division that had been drawn in the boardrooms of the colonial companies have become both a political and social reality. 6 (November/December 2012): 1043-1066. South East Asia Research, 18(1), 5-31. These were different in each area and some of the differences, notably between China and the rest of Asia, may be instructive as they can help us better to under-stand idiosyncratic aspects of the diverse history of modern Asia. The formal and informal networks formed by these organizations have shown to ignore the language game of exclusivity and instead cooperated for decades on regional issues (Tadem 2018). Its chapters unearth the contingency and contention that accompanied the establishment of nation-states . By the end of colonial rule, any early semblance of a regional identity had become blurred and forgotten as nationalism developed (Steinberg 1971). Philippine-Japan Relations: Friends with Benefits In Search of an ASEAN Identity. The Work of the 2010/2011 API Fellows, 171-179. The demarcation of well-defined political boundaries by the colonial powers effectively divided Southeast Asia into neat blocks of compartmentalized colonies. . It is this continuity in the colonial language game that has influenced the Southeast Asian states to be extremely reluctant to give up any bits of their sovereignty. This brought rapid changes to the physical and human landscape and coupled Southeast Asia to a new worldwide capitalist system. To ease this process, different ethnicities were forcefully amalgamated together into convenient, methodical racial categories. The authors discuss the negative effect of colonialism in Southeast Asia. Communication was difficult, particularly when it came to explaining such concepts as nationalism and modernization. ASEAN and the Creation of a Regional Community. Asia-Pacific Review 21, no.1 (June 2014): 63-78. As Rodolfo C. Severino notes, the Socio-Cultural Community was apparently brought in almost as an afterthought, at the Philippines suggestion, in the interest of rounding out the concept of a community (Severino 2007: 17-24) . Since then, the ASEAN leaders have repeatedly acknowledged the necessity in fostering a sentiment of we feeling and shared belonging that will inform efforts towards regionalism and facilitate greater regional cooperation. Singapore: Institute of Southeast Asian Studies: 2005. In retrospect, some of these policies had a recognizably modern ring to them, and, taken together, they represented, if not a revolution, at least a concerted effort at change. There was clearly little clinging to Japanese concepts except where they could be thoroughly indigenized; even the collaboration issue, so important to Europeans and their thinking about the immediate postwar era, failed to move Southeast Asians for long. Morgan, James. 1983. Hooghe, Liesbet and Gary Marks. Thus, ASEANs main function was to assist the nascent nation-states in promoting, enhancing and preserving the political legitimacy of its government and safeguarding them from any external threats that may de-stabilize their sovereignty (Noor 2017, 9-15). Colonial powers began as early as the first decades of the sixteenth century. Nor were the changes ineffectual, for by 1820 the large mainland states stood at the height of their powers. ASEAN as a Neighborhood Watch Group. Contemporary Southeast Asia 22, no.2 (August 2000): 279301. The Greater Indonesia Idea of Nationalism in Malaya and Indonesia. Modern Asian Studies 7, no. Association of Southeast Asian Nation. Except in the Philippines, by the mid-1930s only a small percentage of indigenous children attended government-run schools, and only a fraction of those studied above the primary-school level. Last but not least, non-traditional security threats unbound by national boundaries such as transnational crimes, terrorism and pandemics have emerged (Caballero-Anthony 2010). An awareness and internalization of the logic that identities can be overlapping and not mutually exclusive must be made. As Farish Noor (2016) argued, Southeast Asia states shares many common cultural heritage that dates back to the pre-colonial Hindu-Buddhist era. In the 1930s, however, a series of anticolonial revolts took place in Burma, Vietnam, and the Philippines. 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. Unfortunately, the current education systems of ASEAN states are not well-equipped to support such a venture (Koh 2007). A Modern History of SoutheastAsia: Decolonization, Nationalism and Separatism. Oba, Mie. Andaya, Barbara Watson and Leonard Y. Andaya. 3 (September 2009), 369-386. It would be difficult to ask them to think otherwise. There was a clear absence of any rigid form of political and ethnic loyalties in the pre-colonial world of Southeast Asia. Deutsch, Karl Wolfgang et al. Despite these efforts, ASEAN has thus far failed to develop a degree of ASEAN consciousness in both its bureaucrats and citizens that will nudge them to think of themselves as a member of the wider ASEAN body (Denoon and Colbert 1998-1999). From these works stands out the diversity of development experiences across and even within formerly colonized countries depending on the conditions encountered by colonizers, the latter's identity, or the length of colonization, to name a few. Murti, Gita. The colonial powers also often chose to cultivate special relationships with selected ethnic minorities groups to maintain their control over the majority ethnic groups (Christie 1996). Locality in Conflict Resolution in Papua, The School and Society amid the Pandemic: A Teachers Reflection, Developing a Program for Gifted Music Students in Malaysia, Opposition Legislative Behaviour under Malaysias National Front. Similarly in May 2017, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte advocated for the inclusion of Mongolia and Turkey in ASEAN (Koi 2017). Positive and negative effects of colonialism 2022-11-07 Effects of colonialism in asia Rating: 4,3/10 1844 reviews Community and power in Southeast Asias regional order. The Pacific Review 18, no. 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. In a somewhat contradictory manner, states must first have a firm grip on the levers of sovereignty before they can loosen their hold (Narine 2004). 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. While these measures contributed to a greater sense of commonality and collective identity within the colonial states and allow its inhabitants to imagine themselves as part of an imagined community, they were confined within the boundaries drawn-up by their colonial masters. At its formation, none of the member states had envisioned the creation of any collective community that will require them to give up parts of their sovereignty (ibid.). The Japanese were wary of these people because of their Western orientation but also favoured them because they represented the most modern element in indigenous society, the best partner for the present, and the best hope for the future. 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). Jones, Michael E. Forging an ASEAN Identity: The Challenge to Construct a Shared Destiny. Contemporary Southeast Asia 26, no. 14 July 2016. For instance, in the settlement of the 17th century Vietnamese-Laotian war, the Le emperor of Vietnam and the king of Laos came to an ceasefire agreement that dictated every settler in the upper Mekong who lived in a house built on stilts as owing their fealty to Laos, while those whose house had earthen floors owing their fealty to Vietnam (Steinberg 1971). Even Gia Long, whose conscience and circumstance both demanded that he give special attention to reviving the classical Confucian past, quietly incorporated selected Western and Tay Son ideas in his government. London: George Eyre and Andrew Strahan, 1810. Constructing a Security Community in Southeast Asia: ASEAN and the Problem of Regional Order. This became a concrete political agenda for ASEAN leaders when the ASEAN Concord II was adopted on 7 October 2003 with the aim to establish a robust ASEAN Community by 2020. Greater interaction between ASEAN citizens will definitely go a long way in helping them to take the mental leap required to develop a common sense of belonging that transcends national boundaries. Indochina is a region that today we would consider as Southeast Asia, comprised of Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam (Indochina, 2001). Similar to Benedict Andersons imagined community of a nation; a regional identity can also be imagined (Anderson 1983). Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2016. 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).
