What You'll Learn
ASEAN leaders agreed to create a single market – the ASEAN Economic Community – by 2015. Due to sovereignty concerns, ASEAN leaders did not create a single supranational authority to regulate this market. This course examines how ASEAN member states and institutions are filling in the vacuum through formal and informal means. Participants will understand how regional policymaking affects domestic laws and policies within ASEAN.
