"Pasca proses perluasan keanggotaan di akhir dekade 1990-an, diversitas ASEAN telah semakin meningkat baik secara politik maupun ekonomi. Kondisi ini telah memunculkan kondisi two-tiered ASEAN dimana terdapat kesenjangan pembangunan yang besar antara ASEAN-6 dan CLMV. Hal ini menghambat upaya negara-negara anggota ASEAN dalam mencapai Komunitas Ekonomi ASEAN 2015. Berkaitan dengan hal ini, IAI dirancang sebagai sebuah instrumen kerjasama pembangunan regional dalam mempersempit kesenjangan pembangunan di antara negara-negara anggota ASEAN maupun di dalam negara-negara tersebut serta untuk mempercepat integrasi ekonomi negara-negara yang baru bergabung dengan ASEAN (Kamboja, Laos, Myanmar dan Vietnam). Semenjak implementasinya pada tahun 2002 hingga sekarang, masih terdapat kesenjangan pembangunan yang signifikan, khususnya antara ASEAN-6 dan CLMV. Berkaitan dengan hal ini, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dan menganalisis faktor-faktor yang menghambat IAI dalam mempersempit kesenjangan pembangunan di ASEAN.

Following the enlargement process in the late 1990 decade, ASEAN has become increasingly diverse, politically and economically. This condition has generated two-tier ASEAN where the wide development gap exists between ASEAN-6 and CLMV. It obstructs the effort of ASEAN member states in achieving ASEAN Economic Community in 2015. In this regard, IAI is designed as an instrument of regional development cooperation in narrowing development gap among and within ASEAN member states as well as accelerating the economic integration of the newer member states. Notwithstanding, since the implementation in 2002 until now, the development gap, especially between ASEAN-6 and CLMV, remains significant. In this regard, this research aims to explore and examine some factors that inhibit IAI in narrowing the development gap in ASEAN."

"Dalam suatu organisasi regional yang turut mengintegrasikan perihal perekonomian seperti ASEAN, adanya penanggulangan disparitas adalah penting dalam mencapai tujuan dari berbagai kebijakan. Eksistensi disparitas dapat diestimasi melalui teori konvergensi yang beranjak dari Model Pertumbuhan Solow. Penelitian ini memaparkan bagaimana ASEAN secara perlahan mengalami tren penurunan disparitas antar negara anggota pasca pemekaran keanggotaan ASEAN hingga meliputi Indochina dalam dua dekade terakhir. Namun penelitian ini juga menyibak bahwa peranan perubahan struktural signifikan proses konvergensi di ASEAN. Perubahan struktural ini dipicu oleh Krisis Finansial Asia yang memberi guncangan pada berbagai variabel makroekonomi di Asia Tenggara.

In a regional organization which accommodates economic integration like ASEAN, reduction of disparities is important to achieve the target of policies. The existence of disparities can be estimated by convergence theory, of which based on Solow Growth Model. This paper explains how ASEAN slowly experienced the reduction of disparities among its member states after the expansion at Indochina in the last two decades. However, this paper also shows that the impact of structural break play a significant role in the process of convergence in ASEAN. This structural break was triggered by Asian Financial Crisis that affected various macroeconomic variables in Southeast Asia."

"Not just another book on ASEAN, this volume reappraises the organization from the inside, through controversial or perplexing issues such as the "ASEAN Way", the accession of the new members, including Myanmar, the principle of "non-interference", regional security, regional economic integration, the haze and SARS, and ASEAN's future.Written by a key player, the former ASEAN Secretary-General, this book will illuminate the inner workings of the key Southeast Asian regional institution. It is a must-read for journalists, policy-makers, political scientists and others who need an insiders' view on how ASEAN has evolved, how it operates and whether it will remain relevant in the evolving Asia Pacific and global order."

"ASEAN is currently becoming major economic force in Asia, made up of Indonesia,Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Laos, Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam,and Myanmar. ASEAN countries set a goal to integrate all economic potential throughASEAN Economic community in 2015 in order to make the country members competitivewith the rest of world. Occupied by 600 million population and nominal GDP of USD 2.31trillion, ASEAN provides huge opportunities for the world, especially in the form of tradeand investment. Thus is has to be supported by relevant policies from the respective countrymembers, which is one of them is tax policy. There are two major tax regimes which areworldwide tax regime and territorial tax regime. The main objective of territorial tax regimeis to gain more opportunities abroad by exempting corporate income tax by home countriesfor firms operating abroad, thus capital outflow from a country with territorial tax regime willincrease. The research employs fixed effect panel analysis in 6 major ASEAN countries withobservation period of 15 years. The result reveals that tax regime does not have significantimpact on capital outflow, still, macroeconomic performance becomes major factor for thecapital outflow"
