ASEAN

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand, with the signing of the ASEAN Declaration (Bangkok Declaration) by the Founding Fathers of ASEAN: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Brunei Darussalam joined ASEAN on 7 January 1984, followed by Viet Nam on 28 July 1995, Lao PDR and Myanmar on 23 July 1997, and Cambodia on 30 April 1999, making up what is today the ten Member States of ASEAN.


Fundamental Principles
In their relations with one another, the ASEAN Member States have adopted the following fundamental principles, as contained in the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC) of 1976:

  • Mutual respect for the independence, sovereignty, equality, territorial integrity, and national identity of all nations;
  • The right of every State to lead its national existence free from external interference, subversion or coercion;
  • Non-interference in the internal affairs of one another;
  • Settlement of differences or disputes by peaceful manner;
  • Renunciation of the threat or use of force; and
  • Effective cooperation among themselves.

 

 


Quotes

Sohail Inayatullah: "While focusing on what works is important, I would like to begin with a discussion on what has not worked, with the intent to learn from failures. What does not work often has more “energy” – it certainly affords a greater opportunity to learn."

Anthony Bourdain: "I always entertain the notion that I'm wrong, or that I'll have to revise my opinion. Most of the time that feels good; sometimes it really hurts and is embarrassing."

Auroville: "Today Auroville has come a long way in terms of water management. Beyond the largely successful reforestation of the area, major work in erosion control via check dams, rainwater harvesting via bunds and de-silting irrigation tanks, waste water treatment plants within individual communities, appropriate building technologies, emphasis on renewable energies, community awareness, and data gathering have all been areas of strength.

Despite the strides we have taken, there is still a long way to go given the challenges that face us today."

Chairing ASEAN: what does it mean for Indonesia in 2023?
by Muhammad Rifqi Daneswara, Indonesian Institute of Advanced International Studies (INADIS)

 

 

Muhammad Rifqi Daneswara

 

 

 

 

Despite many obstacles and challenges, including the Russia-Ukraine war and global recession, host nation Indonesia managed to ensure that the high-level conference held in Bali on November 15-16 2022 produced a joint declaration, known as the G20 Bali Leaders’ Declaration. It shows how Indonesia, under President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, has tried to be a unifying force in the midst of global uncertainty.

Now Indonesia has shifted focus and attention to its next significant challenge: chairing ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) in 2023.

This is the fifth time Indonesia has held the ASEAN Chairmanship – previously it was in 1976, 1996, 2003 and 2011. The handover of the ASEAN chairmanship from Cambodia to Indonesia was carried out at the ASEAN Summit last November.

Amid the current global geopolitical uncertainty, there are at least three major challenges Indonesia will face during its chairmanship of the largest regional forum of the Southeast Asian countries. These include bringing ASEAN nations together on global issues; strengthening regional cooperation; and pushing for more, not less, multilateralism.

1. Keeping ASEAN united on global issues

As chair, Indonesia is responsible for leading various ASEAN efforts in solving regional and global crises.

ASEAN countries are currently fractured on big issues, like the South China Sea and Myanmar. Each ASEAN member state has different position, perspectives and interests on the matter.

This condition has made ASEAN member states vulnerable to be divided and exploited by major powers.

China and the United States are currently competing for influence as part of the global rivalry between the great powers. South East Asia is strategically located in the middle of Indo-Pacific, a region winning increased attention from both policy makers and experts in recent years.

Not only does Indonesia need to take into account the interest of ASEAN member states, it also needs to balance competing interests from abroad.

2. Strengthening regional cooperation

Even though Indonesia is the largest country in ASEAN, and has introduced regional breakthroughs in the past, Indonesia cannot push through challenges alone. Indonesia needs to build consensus among members that have different national interest and goals.

Thus, Indonesia needs to embrace ASEAN member states to strengthen regional cooperation where there are less contention and more convergence of interest.

Issues such as food security and resilience, maritime security and transnational crimes can be places to start seeing ASEAN’s importance to member countries. These so-called “low-hanging fruit” issues are plentiful, and Indonesia can spearhead effort at regional level to push for further ASEAN cooperation on them.

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war on the global supply chain and economy should show ASEAN countries they need a stronger cooperation at a regional level, and the value of working within ASEAN’s framework rather than pursuing policies unilaterally.

One successful example of this is on pandemic preparation, with the setting up of ASEAN Centre for Public Health Emergencies and Emerging Diseases at the 15th ASEAN Health Minister Meeting in Bali.

ASEAN has established this centre so its members can be better prepared for the next pandemic.

3. Pushing for a return to multilateralism

Indonesia needs to push for “multilateralism”, which is currently under threat by the proliferation of “minilateralism”. Failure to do so will push ASEAN to the periphery and at the mercy of great powers.

Multilateralism can be defined as international cooperation between three states or more. “Minilateralism” does not have a specific definition, but for this article, I am using the definition as:

 

the smallest possible number of countries needed to have the largest possible impact on solving a particular problem with the number of countries varied depending on the problem.

In recent years, minilateralism has facilitated the emergence of institutions such as AUKUS (a trilateral security pact between Australia, the UK, and the US, for the Indo-Pacific region) and QUAD (the Indo-Pacific Quadrilateral Dialogue between Australia, India, Japan and the US).

These institutions have become threats to ASEAN role in the region, because they tend to discuss and craft exclusive policy with minimal ASEAN involvement.

Western countries have been increasingly trying to counteract China’s power in the Indo-Pacific region using QUAD and AUKUS, instead of working with ASEAN.

For example, in November 2022, Japan hosted the QUAD’s Naval Exercise Malabar 2022 in the Philippine Sea, off the coast of Japan. It involved at-sea exercises with naval ships, aircraft and military personnel from Australia, India, Japan, and the United States.

China criticised the naval exercise, calling it as an effort to curtail and contain China growing influence in the region.

To counter minilateralism and strengthen multilateralism, Indonesia should push for an ASEAN-led forum, such as the ASEAN Regional Forum, involving not just the great powers but also regional and middle powers like Japan and South Korea.

Any dialogues with them should not focus on controversial, sensitive issues, such as the South China Sea dispute. Instead, they should focus on issues where there are shared common interests, such as connectivity, climate change and maritime security.

Involving middle powers such as Japan and South Korea will shows ASEAN centrality and, if successful, will also show that multilateralism – especially an ASEAN-backed process – is still active and relevant.

Keeping great power struggles at bay

The challenges Indonesia is facing as ASEAN Chair are plentiful, but they are not insurmountable.

All of the above issues will be part of a wider effort for Indonesia to prevent ASEAN from becoming the next battleground for great power politics.

Indonesia needs to led ASEAN in strengthening and deepening ASEAN cooperation on multiple sectors to increase its resilience from outside influence.

If Indonesia is able to circumvent the obstacles, navigate the geopolitical situation and create regional consensus, Indonesia could turn the challenges into opportunities that will benefit not just itself, but the region as a whole.

The question is, does our government has the political will to do it?

Only time will tell. The Conversation

Demographics: Optimism for Southeast Asia
by Peter Zeihan


We're starting the day off with a bit of optimism thanks to the demographic outlook of Southeast Asia. This region of the world is primed and ready to boom; all it needs is a bit of money and tech to get the party started.

Why am I so bullish on SE Asia? It's one thing to have a single country with solid demographics, but throw a whole bunch together, and their strength amplifies. Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos are child-heavy and can handle the low-skill jobs for years to come. Vietnam and Indonesia are a bit older, have fewer kids, and have the time and ability for the medium-skill jobs. Singapore and Thailand are the oldest of the bunch but have developed the technical skills to handle the high-skill jobs.

Southeast Asia is like the neighborhood we all want to live in. No animosity between neighbors (since geographical barriers prevent wars). Everyone brings something unique and valuable to the table (differentiated workforces). What more could you ask for?

ASEAN - the Future?
with Shermon Cruz, James M. Dorsey, Mike Jackson & Miss Metaverse




ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, is a political and economic union of 10 member states in Southeast Asia, which promotes intergovernmental cooperation and facilitates economic, political, security, military, educational, and sociocultural integration between its members and countries in the Asia-Pacific. ASEAN's primary objectives are to accelerate economic growth by loosening restrictions on goods, services and capital within the internet market and through that advance cultural, economical and social progress and development.

TransPod

TransPod is developing the next generation of affordable and sustainable ultra-high-speed transportation for a better connected and fossil fuel-free society.

TransPod is building solutions to solve mankind’s biggest upcoming challenge. The way people move is not sustainable. As the population is demanding faster deliveries and faster transport, it is critical to develop new transportation systems capable of moving people fast and clean.

In a vacuum tube train system, pressurized passenger and cargo vehicles travel in a low-pressure tube environment, driven by linear induction motors and air compressors, at speeds exceeding 1000 km/h. TransPod’s cutting-edge new design enables a significant reduction in the investment capital, increase in reliability, and improved operational performance, allowing a stronger business case for this system.


Smart Roads

Cities are facing pressures to address environmental issues caused by traffic congestion and urban population growth while providing more equitable mobility and sustainable transportation. Smart road technology helps city planners and governments address these challenges. The Internet of Things (IoT) is making road transportation more connected, safe, sustainable, and efficient with traffic management, pedestrian and vehicle safety, environmental monitoring, smart and connected roadway corridors, and EV charging and parking networks.

What Is Smart Road Technology?

With new pressures for cities to develop more effective roadways and highways, smart infrastructure is essential for modernization. Smart roads built on IoT and information and communications technology (ICT) can make it possible for cities and transportation authorities to collect and analyze data to improve day-to-day traffic management. Smart road infrastructure can also help cities adapt for long-term sustainable transportation needs. With IoT sensors, cameras, radar, and 5G-equipped technologies, data can be analyzed in near-real time and used to improve congested roadways, streamlining traffic flow. Data can also be sent to the cloud for long-term analysis, providing critical insight for efforts such as reducing CO2 emissions.

Edge computing opens myriad possibilities for smart and connected roads. It enables low latency for the analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) that power smart road infrastructure, like adaptive traffic lights and integrated roadways. For example, traffic lights that automatically adjust their timing based on sensor data can enhance the flow of traffic or change signals to help protect others on the road from dangerous drivers.

The science of water sustainability 
by TechKnow, Al Jazeera English

 

From space, the Earth is a big blue planet covered 70 percent in water. However, a closer look reveals that only two and a half percent of that is fresh water, with only one percent being easily accessible to keep our 6.8 billion inhabitants alive and well.

On TechKnow, we explore the possible solutions to address water scarcity through science, and explore the effect these new initiatives could have in the larger agricultural areas around the world. We also explore technological advancements that are having a quantifiable impact on conserving fresh water through innovation.

Sustainable Water Future

 

“Water is the life-blood of our planet: it is vital for human life and public health; grows our food that we eat; nurtures the environment that sustains our planet; and flows through and connects the economies we depend on.” - High Level Panel on Water, 2016, Water Future of Future Earth

Inspiration towards sustainable water management
Auroville and UN SDGs
by
Auroras Eye Films


We are in a serious crisis and change is needed to avoid a catastrophe. In 2015, the UN compiled 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets as a utopian vision of a world where humanity can live sustainably. The SDGs were signed by 193 countries and aimed to be achieved by 2030, with more work to be done!

The SDGs are a tool for governments to develop regulatory and support systems that both globally and locally reinforce the efforts towards sustainability, and upscale good practices to regional and global level.

This modern crisis is of course not the first which humanity has gone through. Throughout history we can see the reoccurrence of such crises, when critical paradigm shifts and regime changes were needed to evolve beyond them. In such times the grass-roots movement of Intentional Communities has often played an intensified role experimenting and finding solutions. Small groups of people who perceive the crisis early separate from the rest of the population and break away from the mainstream into communities. Members in these Intentional Communities worked to bring about the changes needed for human survival & renewal, first within their own community but also as models for all of humanity.
After the 1960s, some of the first to sense the looming environmental crises started formulating new types of Intentional Communities, that focus on creating & redefining sustainability through their activities. One of the most successful and long lasting Intentional Communities was founded in South India in 1968 - Auroville - “The city the Earth needs”
The people living in Auroville seek to combine ancient wisdom with modern technology as a living laboratory, and develop practices that ensure Auroville’s resilience despite the many challenges.

This documentary focuses on one of the most pressing questions of the present crisis, how to achieve SDG6, how to achieve water security for all.

The movie presents 8 universal aspects of today’s global water crisis, and some of the good practices used in Auroville which also contribute to the aims of SDG6. We hope this video can bridge the top-down UN development goals with the grass-roots practices. By sharing & upscaling such practical solutions regionally & beyond we can emerge from this crisis.

IMBeR — Integrated Marine Biosphere Research

IMBeR – Integrated Marine Biosphere Research – is a large global research project which focuses on ocean sustainability in the context of global change. We want to understand past, present and future changes to the ocean. In particular, we want to know how we can achieve a sustainable ocean for the benefit of society.

IMBeR supports collaborative, disciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and integrated research that addresses key ocean science issues generated by and/or impacting society. Such research is required to provide evidence-based knowledge and guidance, along with options for policy-makers, managers and marine-related communities, to help achieve sustainability of the marine realm under global change.

 



MAIRS-FE – Monsoon Asia Integrated Research for Sustainability

South, Southeast, and East Asia are regions where the major features of landscape — such as vegetation, soil, and the water system — developed in a monsoon climate. However, the variability of monsoon climates cause a high frequency of climate-related disasters, such as floods, drought, and heat waves which often bring great damage to the region. Meanwhile, Monsoon Asia is developing rapidly with the highest population density in the world.

The vision of MAIRS-FE is to significantly advance our understanding of the interactions between the human-environment relationship in the monsoon Asian region and subsequent implications to the global earth system. MAIRS-FE research aims to support the global strategies for sustainable development.

Research to support the transition to water sustainability

Water is and will remain a crucial factor in the many challenges that our world faces, and is a central goal of the Sustainable Development Agenda.WATER FUTURE is a core activity of Future Earth. Hosted by Griffith University’s Australian Rivers Institute in Brisbane, Australia, its sole mission is to support the quest for solutions to the world’s water problems.

Research conducted through WATER FUTURE seeks to ensure a balance between the needs of humankind and nature through the protection of ecosystems and the services it provides. Furthermore, WATER FUTURE aims to offer real solutions underpinned by interdisciplinary science to deliver a sustainable “water world.”

 



Water-Energy-Food Nexus Knowledge-Action Network


Delivering water, energy, and food for all in a sustainable and equitable way is one of the major challenges faced by our societies.

Future Earth’s Water-Energy-Food Nexus Knowledge-Action Network is a network of people and organizations working to address nexus challenges. We’re fostering transdisciplinary research and communicating the importance of holistic system approaches across water, energy, and food systems.

The Network is unique in that it is not dominated by any one of the three sectors, instead providing a balanced platform for discussion and agenda setting. Together with Future Earth’s Global Research Projects, the Network brings together experts from across disciplines to break down the silo-thinking which inhibits transdisciplinary research and solutions.

System interactions

Interactions between water, energy and food systems are manifold. These interactions intensify as demand for resources increases. Ongoing growth in global population combined with societal shifts towards ever more resource-intensive lifestyles are putting these systems under increasing pressure. By 2050, according to most of the baseline scenarios, the demand for energy will nearly double while water and food demand is expected to increase by over 50%. Add in major environmental challenges, including climate change, land use change, and the depletion of natural resources, and the urgency for action becomes clear.
