“…In Figure 5, we can observe the high growth in wages in six ASEAN countries. Further, Menon (2013) analyzes this factor would increase the rapid GDP growth and lead to reductions in poverty. To support his analysis, Menon provides poverty data in selected ASEAN countries, and it is presented in Table 4-3-2.…”

This study discusses how the free movement of skilled labor policy under the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) scenario enhances opportunities for labor mobility from low-skilled labor countries, what challenges will be faced, and how this policy impacts their economies. The implementation of the AEC’s free movement of skilled labor policy is projected to face challenges such as mismatched labor qualifications, fulfilling ASEAN commitment, time for implementation of ASEAN commitments, and controlling the flow of illegal migrant workers. However, ASEAN leaders already set some supporting policies to overcome challenges from this system by improving labor market information, encouraging language and skills training, managing government and public supports, expanding mutual recognition arrangements and enhancing social protection for migrant workers. If these supporting policies can be implemented, the AEC’s free movement of skilled labor policy will improve the quality of human resources in ASEAN, especially from lower-middle income countries including Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand. As the results, those six countries are expected to increase the high-skilled employment rates by 0.3 to 1.4 percent and the wage rates up to 10-20 percent in 2025. Thus, the projected increases in the employment and wage rates of ASEAN skilled labor will induce an expansion of the ASEAN economic growth to 7.1 percent in 2025.

“…These achievements highlight the importance of trade facilitation in bringing down trade costs further. While these recent initiatives have helped trade facilitation reforms move forward, data on trade costs and logistics continue to show considerable variation in trade facilitation and logistical performance across ASEAN members (Menon 2012). Private sector feedback from several members continue to cite excessive and time-consuming documentation requirements, as well as irregular and arbitrary payments for expediting customs procedures.…”

This article investigates how asean acquires its international legal personality and exercises its treaty-making capacity. It, first, traces the evolution of asean’s international legal personality and treaty-making practice in three successive periods in asean’s pre-Charter development from 1967 until 2007. It then examines the formal conferral of asean’s legal personality in 2007; analyses the content and implications of the 2011 Rules of Procedure for the Conclusion of International Agreements by asean; and examines asean’s treaty-making practice in the post-Charter era. It argues that asean had a limited international legal personality and treaty-making capacity even prior to the adoption of the asean Charter in 2007. While the Charter represents a critical juncture in asean’s legal evolution, asean’s exercise of its international legal personality and treaty-making capacity since then remains limited due to many institutional and procedural constraints.

“…W 2003 roku jego członkowie podjęli decyzję o ustanowieniu Wspólnoty Gospodarczej, zakładającej utworzenie do 2020 roku wspólnego rynku ASEAN, ze swobodnym przepływem towarów, usług, kapitału i siły roboczej. Wspólnotę tę powołano formalnie do istnienia w 2015 roku, co stało się przyczynkiem do ożywienia dyskusji ekonomistów na temat problemów integracji zróżnicowanych pod względem poziomu rozwoju gospodarczego krajów (Menon, 2012;Chowdhary i in., 2011;Das, 2009;Islam, 2003). W krytycznych ocenach szans realizacji wspólnego rynku ASEAN wskazywano na ogromne dysproporcje rozwojowe jako najważniejszą przeszkodę integracji w regionie, a także identyfikowaną w literaturze przedmiotu możliwość ich pogłębienia w wyniku integracji (Dąbrowski, 2015;Pietrasik 2008;Karras, 1997).…”

Dla realizacji celu przeprowadzono studia literaturowe oraz wykorzystano metody analizy statystycznej w postaci miar dyspersji wybranych wskaźników makroekonomicznych. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że mimo wysokiego tempa wzrostu w najsłabiej rozwiniętych krajach Azji Południowo-Wschodniej i przyśpieszenia postępów integracji, zróżnicowanie gospodarcze krajów ASEAN w całym badanym okresie utrzymywało się na wysokim poziomie.
