THE CALL ASEAN has fixed 2015 as the year for ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC) full ASEAN economic integration. Through it, the
economies of the 10 ASEAN member-countries will be integrated into
a single market and production base. Currently, there is a flurry
of free trade agreement negotiations between ASEAN and other
countries, and ASEAN members are taking on pivotal economic policy
changes to meet regional requirements. The process towards AEC, and
its outcome, could have the potential to either reinforce or
undermine various developments across the region in human rights
and peace, democracy and development Traversing the next ASEAN:
Challenges and Prospects in Development, Democratization, Human
Rights and Peace aims to examine a number of prospects, impacts and
challenges that persist in the region. These include uneven
economic development and governance across the region, political
and social inequality, democratic deficits, unresolved ethnic
conflicts, environmental degradation, the enclosure of a range of
natural resources, impacts from large-scale development projects,
and human rights violations. To traverse these issues, ASEAN will
need to put effort towards enlarging freedoms, deepening democratic
processes, strengthening political accountability, promoting
international cooperation, protecting human rights, and ensuring
social and environmental justice. OBJECTIVES
Building on three ICIRD conferences held annually between 2010
and 2013, the objectives of the conference are:
Evaluate the challenges and opportunities traversing ASEAN for
2015 and beyond, including the implications of the ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC) and the strengthening of the ASEAN human rights
regime;
Provide a forum for debate between scholars, practitioners,
civil society, government agencies and community representatives on
current development, international relations and human rights
implications of ASEAN integration in ASEAN and Southeast Asia from
a theoretical and applied perspective;
