ES ir ASEAN regionalizacijos procesų dinamika ; The dynamics of regionalization process in EU and ASEAN
Global challenges have been affecting the world constantly. Thus there are pressures to innovate and adapt to changing conditions. State in this context is not an exception. It can be argued that the states have been experiencing far greater pressures to find the best solutions to amortize global pressure. One of the most favorable way to do that, turn to regional organizations. To date, the most successful regional organization is considered to be the European Union, followed by ASEAN. However, the research comparing these two organizations is not much on the fact that there are well-established opinions, that EU n=1 case and a large part of the regional classic theories originate from the EU intellectual heritage. The new regionalism approach throw a challenge to claim that the EU can be compared and should be compared, because it is the only one way to understand the processes of regional mechanisms.The analysis of these two regional organizations regionalization processes shift have shoved that. EU and ASEAN regionalization processes change is almost the same at their start, dominates security issues. They are totally different in their functioning, the EU followed hard institutionalization and promotion of supranational institutions. ASEAN have avoided of any form of institutionalization and promoted the informality. Only partially comparable influence to Member States and third countries where EU has acquired a more solid experience. It was also discovered that non-state actors have had different roles. The EU institutions have provided basis for non-state actors to thrive on contrary in ASEAN non-state actors produced such platform that later has been supported by officials.
