題名 Many Faces and One Identity? ASEAN in the Case of Human Rights Regime 作者 Le Thu, Huong 貢獻者 亞太研究英語博/碩士學位學程(IDAS/IMAS) 日期 2010 上傳時間 6-Oct-2015 15:48:46 (UTC+8) 摘要 Since the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2007, followed by signing the ASEAN Charter in 2008, and the 15th Summit in October 2009 with the milestone creation of ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission for Human Rights, we can observe a drastic change in the nature of the Association. This paper looks at the recent processes of forming an ASEAN-identity through functional cooperation. The ASEAN Charter has settled "new millennium goals" and given the Association itself a legal personality. Sensitive issues and key obstacles for ASEAN effective integration were tackled in the new light. Community-building, people-oriented integration, promotion of democratic values, and human rights were stated in the recent documents among the main objectives. This is a precedence which poses a challenge to the core value of the Association--the non-interference principle. The human rights (HR) issue is new to the Southeast Asian nations in terms of conceptualisation, implementation, as well as legal regulation. The ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) is seen here as a regime-forming process, interestingly reflecting the new personality of the Association. The author assumes that ASEAN has adopted regime-kind of functional cooperation with a view to creating step-by-step a community. Such regimes addressing common challenges to the region are to construct a more coherent region with common tasks and visions, not only declared in the official documents, but also to nurture shared norms and values. The questions this paper asks are: is the changing personality of ASEAN an attempt to find common goals, visions, and values for the common future; does people-oriented direction of new ASEAN fall into the social-artefact type of regime; and is the Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights an exercise for ASEAN to socialize norms and standards that could be shared for the entire sub-region? The paper attempts to adopt multidisciplinary approach to address these complex issues. 關聯 Asia-Pacific Journal of Social Sciences, Special Issue 56-70 資料類型 article dc.contributor 亞太研究英語博/碩士學位學程(IDAS/IMAS) dc.creator (作者) Le Thu, Huong dc.date (日期) 2010 dc.date.accessioned 6-Oct-2015 15:48:46 (UTC+8) - dc.date.available 6-Oct-2015 15:48:46 (UTC+8) - dc.date.issued (上傳時間) 6-Oct-2015 15:48:46 (UTC+8) - dc.identifier.uri (URI) http://nccur.lib.nccu.edu.tw/handle/140.119/78869 - dc.description.abstract (摘要) Since the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2007, followed by signing the ASEAN Charter in 2008, and the 15th Summit in October 2009 with the milestone creation of ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission for Human Rights, we can observe a drastic change in the nature of the Association.
