integration have on a countries sovereignty? Discuss with reference to ASEAN and/or the European
Union Delegation"
Integration is one of the way in minimizing the conflict and create the peaceful
world. Talking about conflict, we will never forget about the war that commonly
happened in the past. The most terrible history that always in our mind is world
war I and II which not has impact only for European but also in other countries
outside Europe. Its not imposible that world war III would be happen, so thats
why all of people arround the world are tried to make a peace and one the best
way is integration between some regions. Integration is really important where i
can conclude that the community who are integrating each other with the same
area and background and also there are some policies that must be followed by
the members such as sharing sovereignty in hope it can minimizing the conflicts
between each members(countries) and also there are regional community which
is not all of regional association has a high integrity. By integrating in some
region which has same backgroud or similarity hopefully it could minimize the
conflict that can be occur. There are so many organizations or i can say
international organizations where the members are from the countries that
located in the same area and every organization has its own objective and
characteristic. Integration is not easy, there are some threats in developing the
integration.
ASEAN is one of international organization where the members are Southeast
Asias countries and the objectivity are to built the regional coopereration or
collaboration between the members, its could be in economics or culture side in
order to achieve regional integration. But, ASEAN often compared to European
Union that has strong integration between the members and has good prospect
compare to ASEAN.
European Union is regional organization same as ASEAN, where the members are
European countries that has same objectivity. A stong integrity in association is
one important aspects where European Union achieved as we can see that they
play a role in increasing trading activity in between member countries and high
of export inside the region by contrast ASEANs members are prefered to do
trading collaboration with the partners who are outside of Southeast Asia
because they think that make a business partnership with ASEAN countries is not
profitable compared to the countries outside Southeast Asia.
Back to the history or background between European Union and ASEAN are
surely its really different. The world war are gave more impact to the European
more than asian, so thats why the people in Europe has a stonger integration
than people in Asia. Somehow they are afraid that world war III would be happen
in the future, so the regionalism which drives to be integration are grew faster in
Europe. One of characteristic in European Union is they would like to bending
their members to deal with treaty where in opposite, there are no treaty in
ASEAN because European are supranational while ASEAN are association in
another words its just multilateral cooperation so the meetings in ASEAN did not
spawned the strong institutions like in European Union and sometimes there are
no results after the meeting. The decision making is consensus it seems like
avoiding the voting, so its make that minority opinion or the rhetoric instead are
more advanced than the opinion of majority. At the end, the decision also lacks of
the consequences and cohesiveness power that intact on ASEAN countries
