Giving the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly a Voice in the ASEAN Community
A revitalized Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has made democracy and the promotion of people-oriented organizations one of its key purposes.
The Preamble of the ASEAN Charter, which came into force in 2008, highlights the centrality of the region’s people in community building and opens with the phrase, ‘We, The Peoples of the Member States of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’.
This paper seeks to locate and examine certain spaces within ASEAN and the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) where other actors such as parliamentarians, civil society and the public sector could play a role and thus fulfil ASEAN’s democratic aspirations.
