Model power or reference point? the EU and the ASEAN Charter / Wong, Reuben   Journal Article
Wong, Reuben Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract Several scholars have suggested that ASEAN's institutionalization can be attributed to the EU's influence as a 'model power'. The notion of the EU as a model power is premised on the assumption and belief that Europe's history of regional cooperation presents a viable blueprint for other regions. This article argues that the EU exerts some power over ASEAN-but merely as a 'reference point'. The EU's influence is not an active one; the organisation essentially serves as a passive reference point for ASEAN. The obvious and arguably most important example of this referencing is the framing of the ASEAN Charter in 2007. This article disagrees with scholars who reduce ASEAN's institutionalization to an imitation of the EU form without the substance. Instead, it shows how ASEAN has innovated as a regional organization through its Charter and Intergovernmental Human Rights Commission.
