This study addresses the two-fold question of whether the integration-liberalization process of ASEAN is headed towards the creation of a single production base region, and how ASEAN links with other trade blocks. It looks into the degree of intra-ASEAN and extra-ASEAN vertical integration vis-à-vis North America, East Asia, and the European Union through the measurement of value-added creation-absorption in global value chains (GVC) and by locating ASEAN within vertical structures. The study employs an international input-output database and breaks up gross exports into different components of value-added using data from 1997, 2004, and 2012. ASEAN has made significant gains in integrating with East Asia. However, ASEAN as a single production region has gained little, and even lost share in value-added trade with NAFTA and Europe. The truth is that ASEAN has a stronger role across the GVC as a supplier of intermediate goods (33%) than as a supplier of final goods (30%). Vertical structures represent more than 43% of ASEAN gross exports, but it still depends on foreign parts and components (35%) to produce its exports. It may be argued that ASEAN + 6, which entails a wider scope of integration, might offer larger benefits to the ASEAN project.

Numerous officials and othes have their doubts and worried that Indonesia will mainly be the market for the AEC and Indonesia's progress in developing its human capital will be negatively impected compettition from other ASEAN nations. The crucial futher step of the AEC is to implement the free movement of skilled labors as one of five core principles of single market and production base pillar, as it will boost economic integration in the region levels. In practice however, progress towords freer mobility has been slow and uneven. In practice however, progress towards freer mobility has been slow and uneven, due to rigid national immigration policies, inequalities in professional education and licensing regimes, public ambivalence toward the AEC, and the vast income gap that many countries fear will contribute to brain drain.

In Islamic law, khamr is a common type of alcoholic beverage that is forbidden for consumption due to its elements that can intoxicate and lead to loss of self-control. The government of Indonesia also forbids people from consuming the intoxicating beverage in certain levels. Nevertheless, a community group in Batu Payuang Halaban, Lima Puluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia, wherein their daily lives can be found a type of traditional beverage as same as khamr that is a fermented juice of sugar palm bunches. The people call it "tuak". This research aims to investigate how the people of Nagari Batu Payuang produce aia niro and tuak, their motives for buying, selling, and consuming the drink, and judging it from the perspective of Islamic law (hadd al-syurb). This type of research is field research with a qualitative approach. Data sources consisted of primary and secondary. The data collection was conducted by observing the process of producing aia niro, tuak, and the transaction, and in-depth interviews with owners of sugar palm plantation, tuak producers, buyers, sellers, consumers, and local ulama (Islamic scholars). The data were analyzed in descriptive by reduction, display, and verification. To examine this research, the theory used was the concept of hadd al-syurb in Islamic law and the regulation on alcoholic beverages in Indonesia. The results show that aia niro is produced by extracting the bunches of male sugar palm and it is the raw material to produce tuak by leaving the aia niro in jerry cans and adding agarwood bark for 3 days. The sellers have various reasons to sell tuak and its raw materials. Besides the price is higher than brown sugar, it is also motivated by personal and other economic reasons as well as easier processing. People who drink tuak realize that it is intoxicating in a certain amount but they drink it to warm their bodies and relieve their fatigues. In the concept of hadd al-syurb, consuming tuak as an intoxicating substance is haram (forbidden) and is condemned to those who drink it. However, they who trade it are not punished by hudud since the Sunna proposition only refers to the transaction as an act of curse. ; Dalam konteks hukum Islam, khamr adalah salah satu jenis minuman yang dilarang untuk dikonsumsi karena mengandung unsur yang dapat memabukkan dan menghilangkan fungsi akal. Pemerintah Indonesia juga melarang masyarakat mengkonsumsi minuman memabukkan dalam kadar tertentu. Meskipun demikian, ada kelompok masyarakat di Batu Payuang Halaban, Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota, Provinsi Sumatera Barat, Indonesia, yang dalam keseharian mereka ditemukan jenis minuman tradisional yang berfungsi sama dengan khamr. Mereka menyebutnya dengan nama tuak yang berasal dari fermentasi air perasan tandan aren. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui cara masyarakat Nagari Batu Payuang memproduksi aia niro dan tuak serta mengetahui alasan mereka melakukan jual beli dan mengkonsumsinya, kemudian menilainya dari sudut pandang hukum Islam (hadd al-syurb). Jenis penelitian adalah penelitian lapangan dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Sumber data terdiri dari sumber data primer dan sekunder. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara observasi proses pembuatan aia niro, tuak dan jual belinya, wawancara mendalam dengan pemilik kebun aren, produsen tuak, pembeli, penjual, konsumen dan ulama lokal. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dengan cara reduksi, display dan verifikasi. Teori yang digunakan untuk menelaah kajian ini adalah konsep hadd al-syurb dalam hukum Islam dan pengaturan minuman keras di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa cara produksi aia niro adalah dengan menyadap tandan bunga jantan dan airnya digunakan untuk membuat tuak dengan cara mendiamkan aia niro itu dalam jeriken dan menambahkan kulit kayu gaharu selama 3 hari. Para penjual memiliki alasan yang beragam ketika menjual tuak maupun bahan bakunya. Selain harganya lebih tinggi dari gula merah juga karena alasan pribadi dan ekonomis lainnya serta proses pengolahannya yang lebih mudah. Masyarakat yang suka meminum tuak mengetahui bahwa tuak itu memabukkan dalam jumlah tertentu tetapi mereka meminumnya hanya untuk memanaskan tubuh dan menghilangkan rasa penat. Dalam konsep hadd al-syurb, mengkonsumsi tuak sebagai zat yang memabukkan adalah haram dan dihukum hudud orang yang meminumnya. Tetapi orang yang memperjualbelikannya tidak dihukum hudud karena dalil Sunah hanya menyebut jual belinya sebagai perbuatan yang dilaknat.
