The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is strategically significant because of its size, dynamism, and role in the Asian economic and security architectures. This paper examines how ASEAN seeks to strengthen these assets through "centrality" in intraregional and external policy decisions. It recommends a two-speed approach toward centrality in order to maximize regional incomes and benefit all member economies: first, selective engagement by ASEAN members in productive external partnerships and, second, vigorous policies to share gains across the region. This strategy has solid underpinnings in the Kemp-Wan theorem on trade agreements. It would warrant, for example, a Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement with incomplete ASEAN membership, complemented with policies to extend gains across the region. The United States could support this framework by pursuing deep relations with some ASEAN members, while broadly assisting the region's development.

Dr. Yuan traces the evolution of China - ASEAN relations since the early 1990s and examines some of the key factors that have contributed to the positive developments in bilateral ties. Specifically, he describes and analyzes how China and ASEAN have managed the territorial disputes through negotiation and compromises ; looks at the expanding economic ties between China and ASEAN member states and examines the politico-strategic, as well as economic rationales for establishing a free trade area ; and evaluates the emerging yet still limited defense and security ties between the two. Next he provides detailed analyses of ASEAN's dual strategy of engagement and hedging, and looks at China's bilateral relationships with seven ASEAN member states : Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam - and examines how each ASEAN state adopts a particular mix of policies due to its unique historical and geostrategic circumstances and its threat perceptions. Finally, Professor Yuan assesses the implications of the growing China - ASEAN ties for U.S. interests in the region and dispels some of the misperceptions and exaggeration of both Beijing's intentions and influence. Washington retains much of the influence but does need to develop and adopt creative approaches to both individual member states and ASEAN as a group. -- Foreword.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is Southeast Asia's primary multilateral organisation. Established in 1967, it has grown into one of the world's largest regional forum representing a strategically important group of 10 nations that spans critical sea lanes and accounts for 5% of U.S. trade. This book examines U.S. diplomatic, security, trade and aid ties with ASEAN, analyses major issues affecting Southeast Asian countries and U.S.-ASEAN relations, and explores ASEAN's relations with other regional powers with a focus on multilateral diplomacy.

While the overall security situation in Southeast Asia is something of a mixed bag with grounds for both optimism and pessimism, one of the most encouraging trends in recent years has been the development of the Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) relations with major external powers. Relations between China and ASEAN in particular have demonstrated a marked improvement over the past decade, thanks to a combination of burgeoning economic ties, perceptions of China as a more constructive and responsible player in regional politics, and Beijing's "charm offensive" toward Southeast Asia. Overall, the development of ASEAN-China relations poses few security challenges to the United States: Good relations between China and ASEAN enhance regional stability, and a stable Southeast Asia is clearly in America's interests, especially with Washington focused on events in the Middle East. Although ASEAN-China relations are very positive, this does not necessarily mean the United States is losing influence in Southeast Asia, or that ASEAN members are "bandwagoning" with China. In fact, they are hedging by keeping America engaged and facilitating a continued U.S. military presence. While ASEAN-China relations are relatively benign today, several sources of potential friction could create problems in Sino-U.S. relations: these are Taiwan, Burma, and the South China Sea dispute. This monograph examines each of these scenarios in turn.
