Recognizing the instrumental role of former Japanese Prime Minster Shinzo Abe for both the establishment of the Indo-Pacific as a geopolitical concept and the development of Japanese-Southeast Asian relations, the essays in this special issue investigate the legacy of his government for the future of the region. As a result, Southeast Asians began to associate themselves economically, socially and cultural more with their respective Europe metropoles than with their regional neighbours (Roberts 2011). Looking at Malaysia and Singapore as a case study will show how two states have managed to dampen violence and achieve a degree of cohesion despite the legacies of colonialism, Japanese occupation, and decolonization. Being separated from the motherland for so long gave. The revolts, and the economic disarray of the Great Depression, also suggested that European rule was neither invulnerable nor without flaws. 5 Differences rather than commonality now preoccupy the minds of Southeast Asian as they seek to define their own identity.

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. According to Chong (2012), there were three general historical causes of nationalism in Southeast Asia. In addition, despite the fact that the imperative to create a shared sense of ASEAN belonging and we-feeling comes from the political elites and bureaucrats of ASEAN themselves, it may remain a challenge to expect such a mental leap to be taken and led by them due to the nature of their role, interest and responsibilities. Similar to Benedict Andersons imagined community of a nation; a regional identity can also be imagined (Anderson 1983). Thus, ASEANs main function was to assist the nascent nation-states in promoting, enhancing and preserving the political legitimacy of its government and safeguarding them from any external threats that may de-stabilize their sovereignty (Noor 2017, 9-15). 1 (April 2012): 1-53. From the 1500s to the mid-1940s, colonialism was imposed over Southeast Asia. Singapore: Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, 2006. Furthermore, when the sample was split between government officers and academics it was the academics that were the most cynical: 66.7% of them answered no to the question of trust while 55.3% of government respondents answered no to the same question. They divided villages and ethnic communities to make territories into countries with borders. At its formation, none of the member states had envisioned the creation of any collective community that will require them to give up parts of their sovereignty (ibid.). 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. Pham, Quang Minh. ASEANs imitation community. Orbis: A Journal of World Affairs 46, no. A few leaders perhaps had been naive enough to think that it mightand some others clearly admired the Japanese and found it acceptable to work with thembut on the whole the attitude of intellectuals was one of caution and, very quickly, realization that they were now confronted with another, perhaps more formidable and ferocious, version of colonial rule. Consequently, the ASEAN Community and ASEAN Identity only exist in form but not in substance. Regional integration is largely seen as a mean to allow its respective member states to obtain greater political and economic clout through resources pooling wherever mutual, practical benefit exists so as to secure their national sovereignty (Kim 2011). Before the discovery of America and the sea route to Asia, the Mediterranean had been the trading and naval centre of Europe and the Near East.Italian seamen were rightly considered to be the best, and they commanded the first royally sponsored transatlantic expeditionsColumbus for Spain, John Cabot for England, and Giovanni da Verrazano for France. The colonial rulers proceeded to alter the epistemology and discourse of statecraft and international relations in Southeast Asia. For instance, the inhabitants of the Indonesian archipelago began to see themselves as Dutch subjects, Malaya and Burma as British subjects and Indochinese as French subjects. While there is no doubt that national belonging will remain far more salient to the Southeast Asians sense of self as they will find it difficult to escape from the well-embedded consciousness of the nation-states, they can however become aware of the possibilities of overlapping identities that directs them to think of themselves not only a citizen of their respective nation-states but also an ASEAN citizen who sees the entire Southeast Asia region as a common home. In the economic sphere impact also the western imperialism had a mixed impact. The effects of colonialism on Southeast Asia were both positive and negative, and have shaped the course of the region's history and development. "It's very . The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is the main regional organization in Southeast Asia. The Dutch created exclusive schools for the indigenous administrative elitea kind of petty royaltyand invented ways of reducing social mobility in this group, as, for example, by making important positions hereditary. Under such a shared, borderless geographical space, different ethnic groups and polities intersected and commingled to create extensive, regularized patterns of interactions. This explains why ASEAN leaders have signed communiqu and declarations one after another but has yet to have undertaken any genuine, concerted effort in moving towards the goal of creating a collective ASEAN identity. On the contrary, ordinary citizens at the grass-root level do not have their hands tied in the same manner. Modernization appeared to require such an approach, and the Thai did not hesitate to embrace it with enthusiasm. Biba, Sebastian. This chapter surveys the literature on whether and which are the long-run economic legacies of European colonization today. For instance, Malaysias history cannot be explained in a manner that disregards the histories of the neighboring countries of Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. Post-Cold War diplomacy and the idea of regional community. The Pacific Review 15, no. Karl Ian Cheng Chua, Visiting Professor, Hitotsubashi University, Japan, Singapore Upon arriving at the Philippines, friars and priests started converting the natives to Christians. Rather than appropriating shared elements of history, language and material culture as theirs in a nationalistic manner, Southeast Asians should embrace these heritages as a common trove of cultural treasures that is a testament to the cross-cultural hybridization and people-to-people exchange that has been occurring between them generation after generation dating back to the pre-colonial era (Noor 2016). Intra-regional people-to-people interaction at the ground level should therefore be highly encouraged. 2 (August 2005): 165-185. 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. All this deteriorated the mental as well as physical freedom and conditions of the colonized . French colonists were interested in acquiring land, exploiting . It was a living reality for each individual Southeast Asian living in the pre-colonial era to possess multiple identities and having a sense of belonging that was not solely determined by ones place of birth (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia 2014: 209-231). _____________. In many areas there also was a deep-seated hatred of control by foreigners, whether they be the Europeans themselves or the Chinese, Indians, or others who were perceived as creatures of their rule. By 1886 the rest of the region had been divided among the British, French, Dutch, and Spanish (who soon were replaced by the Americans), with the Portuguese still clinging to the island of Timor. Their primary concerns were extending bureaucratic control and creating the conditions for success in a capitalist world economy; the chief necessity was stability or, as the Dutch called it, rust en orde (tranquility and order). Singapore's quarrel. From these, it is clear that the sanctity of national sovereignty and principles of non-interference as inherited under colonial rule continues to inform diplomatic relations in the region and has become the guiding principle of ASEAN. 3 (2004): 423-450. Great powers, ASEAN, and security: reason for optimism?. The Pacific Review 28, no. Negative effects of colonialism. 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. Human Groups and Social Categories: Studies in Social Psychology. One of the major negative impacts of Colonialism was slavery. With over four hundred different ethno-religious groups, pre-colonial Southeast Asia was a kaleidoscopic world of cultural and linguistic heterogeneity (Andaya and Andaya 2015). ASEAN can be argued to be more of a community of convenience that acts as a functional tool for political elites rather than a genuine community of shared vision and collective identity. To this end, ASEAN political elites have embarked on a project to build an integrated ASEAN Community anchored on a collective ASEAN identity. Singapore: Times Academic Press, 2002. A History of French Colonialism's Effect on the Environment. Still, for two distinct reasons the period does represent a break from the past. Motivated by a need for raw materials and new markets to sustain the industrial development of their metropoles, the European powers embarked on a series of colonizing missions between the 17th to 19th century in Southeast Asia (Christie 1996). _____________. Here we may consider the story of Hang Tuah who did not see any contradictions with introducing himself as both a subject-servant of the Sultan of Melaka and an emissary of Raja Keling of Kalinga at the same time (Ahmad 1965). Unrestricted by any form of political borders or allegiance to a single locality, Southeast Asians constantly moved across the region. India provides a cautionary tale. Hirschman, Charles. The demarcation of well-defined political boundaries by the colonial powers effectively divided Southeast Asia into neat blocks of compartmentalized colonies. 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. (Association of Southeast Asian Nation, 2018). Since then, the ASEAN leaders have repeatedly acknowledged the necessity in fostering a sentiment of we feeling and shared belonging that will inform efforts towards regionalism and facilitate greater regional cooperation. Any form of regional community to the realist would only exist in form but not in essence. Title. 3 (September 2009), 369-386. Severino, Rodolfo C. A Sense of Community for Southeast Asia.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is the main regional organization in Southeast Asia. However, the responses from the regions elite were the most disconcerting. In the colonial era in Southeast Asia extending from the 15th to the late 20th century, the Western powers, (including America in the late 19th century) competed for, occupied and governed Southeast Asia. Since then, efforts have been made by the ASEAN member states to cultivate a collective ASEAN identity by fostering a sentiment of we feeling which will inform regionalism efforts and facilitate greater cooperation between Southeast Asians in the political, security, economic and cultural arena (Murti 2016). New Haven: Yale University Press.Google Scholar. China has the world's fastest-growing economy, increasing nearly 10 percent every year for the past 30 years. The formation of a collective identity and interest has to be shaped by intensive interaction at the ground level. Instead, the continued preoccupation over state sovereignty by the political elites inhibits the formation of a genuine ASEAN community.

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). One example was how the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824, which dismembered the contiguous Malay world encompassing Malaya Peninsular and Sumatra Islands, began to use divisive vocabulary that emphasized on the sanctity of national sovereignty and territorial boundaries (The Edinburgh Annual Register 1825). Even Gia Long, whose conscience and circumstance both demanded that he give special attention to reviving the classical Confucian past, quietly incorporated selected Western and Tay Son ideas in his government. Stephen Dziedzic. Moorthy, Ravichandran and Guido Benny. Such integration would need to make people feel that they belong to a shared community and that they are all fellow stakeholders with a common destiny (ibid.). Renewed power rivalry between the US and China has also forced the region to look for new ways to balance their interests (Acharya 2017: 25-38). 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). Southeast Asia's New Nationalism: Causes and Significance - Volume 1 Issue 2. . Malaysia reject proposal by Philippine government committee to claim Sabah as 13th federal state.

The purpose of the organization was to prevent communism from gaining ground in the region. Christie, Clive J. Ahmad, Kassim. Farish A. Noor notes that although the history textbooks of Indonesia do make mention of the how transnational contact between states in the region aided the formative development of Indonesia, there is scant detail given on the cultural and historical linkages between the proto-Indonesian kingdoms and their Southeast Asian counterparts during the pre-colonial era. The Javanese culture and society of earlier days was no longer serviceable, and court intellectuals sought to find a solution in both a revitalization of the past and a clear-eyed examination of the present. There is a lack of shared sentiments of solidarity or we-feeling and the ground realities have proven to be at odds with the vision as spelt out in ASEAN vision 2020. Do norms and identity matter? Further research carried out by Christopher Roberts between 2004 and 2007 also demonstrates that a high level of distrust exists between the citizens and governments of ASEAN. More peaceful Western encroachments on local sovereignty also occurred until the 1920s. As a result, there was never any real interest in the creation of the we-feeling type of community to begin with. 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). This was the generation that captained the struggles for independence (in Siam, independence from the monarchy) and emerged in the post-World War II era as national leaders. And, if the general population appeared less docile in 1945 than four years earlier, the reason lay more in the temporary removal of authority at the wars end than in the tutelage of the Japanese. 4 They argue that an inherent tension between state sovereignty and regionalism exists as political elites are more concerned with the building of a stable, legitimate sovereign state as a vital prerequisite before the building of a strong regional community and identity (Hund 2010). Boundaries were drawn, villages defined, laws rewrittenall along Western lines of understanding, often completely disregarding indigenous views and practicesand the new structure swiftly replaced the old.

Thus, the Thai began early on to send princes to Europe for their education, employing them throughout the government on their return. Elsewhere, war and confusion held societies in their grip for much shorter periods, but everywhere rulers were compelled to think of changed circumstances around them and what they meant for the future. Traditional Challenges to States: Intra-ASEA Conflicts and ASEANs Relations with External Powers. In Peoples ASEAN and Governments ASEAN, edited by Hiro Katsumata and See Seng Tan, 109-116. For ASEAN to develop a collective identity that will lead to the formation of a genuine, shared ASEAN community, a significant mental leap must be taken by the citizens of ASEAN to internalize the logic of overlapping identities and re-imagine the region. Colonialism did have its negative effects but it opened up the countries status in the world to some extent, during Spanish colonial times, the British invasion and the two-year occupation Only through such efforts will there be greater understanding, awareness and appreciation of the regions interconnectedness that will aid the people of ASEAN in shedding their mental barriers of exclusive national identities and develop a sentiment of common belonging and shared destiny. However, these works stopped short of explaining the origin of their fixation on the Westphalian principles of state sovereignty and their national boundaries. _____________. Sim, Royston. So in a number of ways, it appears to be true that Singapore and Hong Kong really are better places than Taiwan and that all three are better than mainland China. They must be made aware of the artificiality of modern-day national boundaries and accept that elements of commonality in history, culture, ethnicity and geographies exists in the region. Some of the negative impacts that are associated with colonization include; degradation of natural resources, capitalist, urbanization, introduction of foreign diseases to livestock and humans. Murti, Gita. In many others, independence was achieved only after a protracted revolution. 2) Disruption in traditional life through the introduction of European authority and culture led to . As a starting point, the citizens of ASEAN will need to depart from their present understanding of the regions history, accept the artificiality of the modern-day national boundaries and develop a greater awareness of the close historical and cultural linkages that exist among them. First, since some countries in Southeast Asia are still experiencing state-building challenges, there is a need for a clear definition and a modicum of consensus on what constitutes neo-colonialism. We will discuss the motivations behind British colonial expansion, as well as the effects that imperialism had on both colonized and . Heng, Michael S. H. Heng. Given the arduous tasks of nation-building that seeks to unite the disparate ethnic and religious communities within the political boundaries are inherited from the colonial rulers, the governments of nascent Southeast Asian states forged national identities based on constructed, distinctive national characteristics and values that supposedly sets them apart from their neighbours (Narine 2004). Khoo further argues that ASEAN continues to be an , that is still far off from the ASEAN Community it envisions (Khoo 2000). Two panel discussions, in particular, shed light on why Southeast Asia, despite its long history of colonialism, has limited postcolonial perspectives compared to South Asia. Their works study ASEAN mainly from a functional perspective and measure the robustness of ASEAN based on the strength of its collectively held norms of non-use of force and non-intervention principles (Sharpe 2003). Like their colonial rulers, the political elites continue to perceive the region as primarily an economic space and securitized region. The chief problem facing the new intellectuals lay in reaching and influencing the wider population. Thus, their networking should be promoted and governments should leverage on their experiences to develop social spaces that promote greater people-to-people interaction and cultural exchanges. London: Routledge, 2001. Historically, Micronesians descended from seafarers who populated the island atolls between 2000 BC and 500 BC. The most serious circumstances were undoubtedly those of Vietnam, where from 1771 to 1802 there raged a strugglethe Tay Son rebellionover the very nature of the state. Southeast Asia was changed in an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, way by the Japanese occupation. The colonization of Southeast Asia is another example of how historic political geography can influence an entire region. These statements serve as an indicator that ASEAN is not united by any geographical or historical linkages but rather material and political-economic interests, whereas Southeast Asia remains a region where cultures, histories, language and ethnic identities overlap and cross-fertilize one another. 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. Since the first contact with Westerners, starting with the Portuguese and Spanish explorers, the islands have been colonized by various European and Asian countries. ASEAN centrality in these key regional platforms has afforded it with a voice at the global level (Vejjajiva 2017: 89-102). Essence of security communities: explaining ASEAN. International Relations of the Asia-Pacific 16, no.3 (September 2016): 335-369. Accessed February 1, 2018. https://www.boell.de/en/2017/08/02/new-perspectives-civil-society-engagement-asean. In conclusion, the effects of colonialism in Southeast Asia were complex and varied, and have had a lasting impact on the region. 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. Tan, Chee-Beng. Southeast Asia was to be re-modelled as an economic space primarily ruled by the logics of rationalism and instrumentalism. 5 (May 2011): 762.
