This paper aims to elaborate the new circumstances of South East Asia and its impact to form of cooperation and architecture of ASEAN. Despite the ASEAN countries still maintain the state-led regionalism principle, but various changes that took place in this region has risen a various issues that push the emergence of new actors such as seen in the emergence of transnational advocacy netwoks. The limitations of the state-centric regionalism leave the problem of representation. This means that the state perspective will be more determined by political and technocratic calculations. By proposing multitrack regionalism concept, this paper try to show that state-led regionalism is needed to transform into community-led regionalism in order to realize a more democratic regionalism.

A new regionalism, when compared to the context of the economic & social regionalization movements of the 1960s & 1970s, evolved qualitatively as a result of the development of European integration induced by the Single European Act in the mid-1980s. Since then, Western Europe has experienced enhanced supranationalism, regionalism, & globalization, which has changed the perception of the regions allowing the development of factors making for a new regionalism: the erosion of the national authority's role due to economic & globalization forces; the region as an actor of development & as a lobbyist at different levels; the influence of the supranational structural policies; the growth of regional consciousness; the influence of cross-border cooperation & paradiplomatic activities. West Sweden is an interesting case on how this new regionalism has developed. 73 References. Adapted from the source document.
