All of the national historical narratives taught in Southeast Asia accept its modern, post-colonial political boundaries as a given reality and impressed upon its readers a false perception of their nation-state as a fixed entity with national characteristics and cultural heritage that are exclusive and distinctive from its neighbours since time immemorial (Noor 2015). A collective ASEAN worldview can be forged through the use of these cultural markers. While under the Japanese occupation, Southeast Asia underwent major social and economic structural changes. . To this end, ASEAN political elites have embarked on a project to build an integrated ASEAN Community anchored on a collective ASEAN identity. London: Routledge, 2001.

A history of early modern Southeast Asia, 1400-1800. As existing literature have already been inundated by realist interpretations that mainly focus on the political and economic dimensions of ASEANs integration, this article will venture to shift away from this direction and take a constructivist approach that emphasizes on the development of a collective identity that is based on a sentiment of we-feeling as an essential component in the building of a resilient ASEAN community. As national interests and identities predominate in ASEAN, it has become an arduous task for the generation of the kind of we-feeling that is required for the building of a regional community as articulated in the ASEAN Vision 2020. They were unable, however, to avoid other concomitants of state expansion and modernization.

Thus, as aptly described by Jones and Smith, ASEAN remains largely an imitation community that are rhetorical shells and provides form but no substance to genuine regional integration (Jones and Smith 2002). The idea of opposing Dutch rule, furthermore, was not abandoned entirely, and it was only the devastating Java War (182530) that finally tamed the Javanese elite and, oddly enough, left the Dutch to determine the final shape of Javanese culture until the mid-20th century. The article would further propose that the ASEAN Identity and ASEAN Community will continue to exist only in form but not in substance if a mental leap to re-imagine the region is not taken by the political elites and people of ASEAN. This continuity in oppositional dialectics from the colonial era and the unconditional acceptance of inherited political borders as a given reality hinders the re-imagining of the region as a collective community with a shared past, present and future.

Most of the new intellectual elite were only vaguely aware of these sentiments, which in any case frequently made them uneasy; in a sense they, too, were foreigners. Originally established as a loose regional framework for confidence building between leaders of the nascent nation-states in Southeast Asia and a mechanism to manage the influence of superpowers in the region, ASEAN has developed over the years to become the primary diplomatic platform for Southeast Asian states to discuss regional political and security cooperation and have further expanded its focus in recent years to include economic and social integration (Vatikiotis 1999).

In a somewhat contradictory manner, states must first have a firm grip on the levers of sovereignty before they can loosen their hold (Narine 2004). A political vocabulary underpinned by the logics of geopolitical division, territoriality, ethnic-cultural differences and national interest became the dominant language of governmentality in the region. However, Acharyas works have thus far only focused on elite-level socialization in examining the prospects for community building and have yet to discuss the role and interaction of the general populace. It will also argue that identities can be overlapping and not mutually exclusive and that an individual can be both a citizen of a Southeast Asian state and also sees himself as a fully participatory member of the ASEAN community.

From its inception, ASEAN has consistently demonstrated a strong disposition against any supranational tendency (Jones and Smith 2007). The colonial rulers also normalized the use of a common language for administrative communication such as the English language in the British East Indies, Vietnamese in French Indochina and Bama in Burma (Reid 2015).

The elites response to these circumstances generally has been interpreted as a kind of cultural introversion and avoidance of reality, a judgment that probably is too harsh. These measures were implemented to create an efficient system for maximum economic exploitation but also manipulated to legitimize colonialism as a civilizing mission that sought to better the lives of its colonised subjects. Philippine Literatures in a Derridean Sense: A Problem of (Re)versing the Region? Little wonder that before long Southeast Asians began to observe that, despite Asia for the Asians propaganda, the new and old colonial rulers had more in common with each other than either had with the indigenous peoples. The Japanese had no plans to radicalize or in any way destabilize Southeast Asiawhich, after all, was slated to become part of a Tokyo-centred Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere; in the short term they sought to win the war, and in the long run they hoped to modernize the region on a Japanese model.

Yale Journal of International Affairs, March 14, 2016. Eventually, this eroded the sense of shared consciousness and identity that had developed in Southeast Asia decades prior to colonial rule and conditioned the Southeast Asians to see themselves as citizens of different, distinct nations and communities that were exclusive in nature. 8 Therefore, Allan Collins is most probably right in arguing that ASEAN exists as a security regime whereby states interact through norms of behavior primarily to achieve their political and economic goals (Collins 2007). There have also been historical evidences which show that states in Southeast Asian in the pre-colonial era did not see themselves as distinct entities that are based on exclusive identity. Political instability. Intra-regional people-to-people interaction at the ground level should therefore be highly encouraged. 2 (March 2003): 231-250. In the ASEAN Vision 2020 declaration, the ASEAN leaders have indicated a desire for an ASEAN community conscious of its ties of history, aware of its cultural heritage and bound by a common regional identity.

Colonialism also introduced modern medicine and education to many regions of the globe. These were different in each area and some of the differences, notably between China and the rest of Asia, may be instructive as they can help us better to under-stand idiosyncratic aspects of the diverse history of modern Asia. National histories across the region are often written and retold in isolation, often with their independence struggle as the pre-given starting point and the respective nation-states as the main actor in the foreground (Noor 2017: 9-15). 3 Jones and Smith (2002) would not have continued to dismiss ASEAN community as an imitation community with no substance. It was only after colonial rule that Southeast Asians inherited a sense of modern citizenship with their identity being fixed to a single sovereignty within well-defined territories (Steinberg 1971). Citizens of ASEAN have very little knowledge about their neighbouring countries, not to mention fellow member states that are located further away (Thuzar 2015). Bangkok in the late 1920s surpassed even British Singapore as a centre of such modern amenities as electric lighting and medical facilities, and the state itself had achieved an enviable degree of political and economic viability among its colonial neighbours. But the similarities As ASEAN leaders recognize that geographical proximity and the ASEAN Way alone is insufficient to drive the level of regional integration required in the new era, they sought to re-define the region through the creation of an ASEAN Community with the aim of building the existing loose association of regional countries into a much closer ASEAN community of nations (Moorthy and Benny 2013). However, for such a mammoth undertaking to take place, a significant cognitive transition must be made by the people of ASEAN that exceed the confines of temporality and space to re-imagine the region. 6 (November/December 2012): 1043-1066. Brain drain. 2 Citizens of ASEAN continue to remain largely uninterested and ignorant of the lives, culture and economy of their fellow counterparts in other member states (Heng 2015).

The lack of regional cohesion among the ASEAN member states to formulate a coordinated and coherent response against China both in the South China Sea dispute and the Lancang-Mekong hydropower dam project are further examples of how national interest continues to be prioritized over regional interest (Biba 2012). Lubis, Abdur-Razzaq. However, this continues to be contested by some elements in Thailand.The International Court of Justice ruled Pedra Blanca as belonging to Singapore in 2008. French attitudes about colonial . The Greater Indonesia Idea of Nationalism in Malaya and Indonesia. Modern Asian Studies 7, no. 1 (April 2017): 127-148. This will require both the political elites and citizens of ASEAN to break away from the inherited baggage of colonialism and abandon the language game of fixed, stable and exclusive identities. Moreover, if ASEAN wishes to achieve the goals of closer integration, a collective ASEAN identity must be developed not just among the political leaders and bureaucrats but also the general population of the region. The first cause was cultural and religious movements. Nd. Indeed, if Acharyas claim that an collective identity has been successfully developed among the political elites of ASEAN was true, one may question why recent events have pointed out to an increasing lack of regional cohesiveness and why the political elites of ASEAN have made repeated attempts to highlight the urgency to create an ASEAN community and identity if it is already a given? Since the colonists usually used brute force to conquer a land to colonize, it would create conflict with the natives. Imperialism affected imperialised peoples in both positive and negative ways.

Multiple logics of identity-construction was at work where identities, loyalty and sense of belonging were not fixed to a certain locality but was often a result of the interaction between the circumstances of political geography and local patron-client relations (Chaudhuri 1990). It is this continuity in the colonial language game that has influenced the Southeast Asian states to be extremely reluctant to give up any bits of their sovereignty. The Gianti Agreement (1755) had divided the realm and given the Dutch decisive political and economic powers. When forced to provide only a yes or no answer to the question of trust, 59.8% of the elites surveyed said they could not trust other countries in Southeast Asia to be good neighbours.

Indian nationalism is rising, and it is a . With conscious efforts, it is possible to shape the worldview of ASEAN citizens and orientate themselves towards a new reality in which they believe in a shared sense of solidarity, belonging and common destiny. In the earlier period Europeans tended to acquire territory as a result of complicated and not always desired entanglements with Southeast Asian powers, either in disputes or as a result of alliances.

Lingering effects of colonialism. By the nature of their role, interest and responsibilities, they are conditioned to act in a manner that is fixated on the protection of the territorial and economic sovereignty of their nation-states. For instance, in the settlement of the 17th century Vietnamese-Laotian war, the Le emperor of Vietnam and the king of Laos came to an ceasefire agreement that dictated every settler in the upper Mekong who lived in a house built on stilts as owing their fealty to Laos, while those whose house had earthen floors owing their fealty to Vietnam (Steinberg 1971).
