“…This equivalence validates the pertinence and intrinsic value of Q4. Such an approach also has the potential to be applied to studying the common norms structuring ASEAN’s relations with China, Japan, and the European Union (see for example, Le Thu, 2019; Ying & Chan, 2021; Satake, 2019; Murray, 2015), so as to better understand their shared identity- and value-based foundations. Doing so could provide a better comparison of ASEAN–India relations versus other states, especially concerning various issues such as trade, investment, climate change, the environment, science and technology, and education, and can therefore inform New Delhi’s wider global diplomacy.…”

Central to India–ASEAN relations has been a consistent equivalence between their similar core principles and outlooks, which have served as a shared value-based footing upon which the two entities have built and enhanced their relations. These underlying sets of norms inform their diplomatic dealings with each other, and stem from principles and practices critical to their foundational identities and experiences. This article investigates and evaluates the historical roots of these norms and then utilizes them as an analytical vehicle with which to trace the growing strategic convergence typifying present-day India–ASEAN relations. Drawing upon constructivist accounts that emphasize the role played by history, culture, identity and learning, the article considers the key areas of agreement in relations, and how a value-based form of analysis provides an essential lens through which to better understand material factors structuring their relations. It also underlines the analytical value and empirical richness that a norm-based approach provides for analysing specific sets of norms in a specific state-to-multilateral interaction.

“…Now, I turn to the issue of how ASEAN views European integration. There are studies that examine the subjective aspects of this issue (Jetschke, 2009; Wong, 2012; Chaban et al, 2013; Murray and Moxon-Browne, 2013; Murray, 2015; Allison, 2015). One of the focal points of these studies—especially in light of the structural reforms completed by ASEAN through the ASEAN Charter that was signed in 2007—is whether ASEAN was influenced by the EU.…”

European integration through the eyes of ASEAN: Rethinking Eurocentrism in comparative regionalism

In the research field of comparative regionalism, divergent positions on how to frame the EU are a major obstacle to constructing a general theory of regionalism. Put simply, this is the issue of whether or not to treat the EU as a model. However, there has been no systemic study on how non- EU regionalisms have subjectively framed the EU in actuality. Have other regions held the EU as a model? This paper elucidates how ASEAN has perceived European integration and what factors have brought changes to that perception by using a variety of sources. Entering the 1990s, ASEAN came to see the EU as a model for its accelerated movement toward economic integration, also perceiving the need to increase institutionalization. This finding suggests that to call for a break with EU-centrism betrays a somewhat distorted view of actual conditions.

“…Consequently, this paper contributes to the lively scholarly and policy debate about the relevance of the EU's model of integration for the Asian region and as a model of regional organization for ASEAN (Berkofksy, 2005;Capannelli, 2009;Murray, 2010;Murray and Moxon-Browne, 2013;Poli, 2014;Secretary General of ASEAN, 2007;Wong, 2012;Murray, 2015;Allison, 2015;Allison-Reumann and Murray, 2017;Suder, 2017). This article takes the position that on matters relating to refugee protection and inter-state solidarity, the EU's asylum system, and its response to refugee challenges, is far from a model of good regional governance (Longo and Murray, 2015).…”

The failure of regional refugee protection and responsibility sharing: Policy neglect in the EU and ASEAN

The concurrent refugee crises affecting the European Union (EU) and the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) brought to the fore long-standing issues regarding regional cooperation on refugee protection and responsibility sharing. This article argues that these crises are a culmination of years of policy neglect. By comparing the EU and ASEAN, this article demonstrates the weaknesses of regional bodies in responding to refugee challenges, regardless of the level of institutionalization of refugee norms and practices. In both instances, procedural norms privileging member state interests and consensus have hindered the development of durable regional refugee policies.
