The Internal Effects of ASEAN External Relations

Integration through Law: The Role of Law and the Rule of Law in ASEAN Integration

by Ingo Venzke, Li-Ann Thio

Starting with a typology of ASEAN external agreements, the authors go on to provide an original reading of plurilateral agreements as 'joint' agreements. The book then offers both a clarification of the effects - direct or indirect - of external agreements within the legal orders of ASEAN Member States, and an explanation of the effects of external agreements within the legal regime of ASEAN. The authors conclude with a discussion of the role of ASEAN centrality and the role of the secretariat in shaping it.
