Abstract

This is a brief paper outlining the value that an ASEAN Charter may present to ASEAN members. This paper adopts a relatively neutral stance on the desirability of a Charter.On one hand, it will not be a quick cure to differences in political perspectives and to lack of movement where political will is not strong. However, a Charter can create the right negotiating and decision-making mechanisms to facilitate movement.
