book “Brick by Brick: The Building of an ASEAN Economic Community”
now available!
The book “Brick by Brick” brings together authoritative studies
on the issues and challenges pertaining to economic integration. These
studies were undertaken over a period of five years (2002-2007) and written
by prominent experts and academics from ASEAN and Australia. It was edited
by Dr Denis Hew and published by the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies
in Singapore, in conjunction with Asia Pacific Press in Australia. The
book also includes an interactive CD-ROM containing all reports that have
been released and abstracts of those other reports, most of which are
available on request.
This publication was the idea of ASEAN Secretary-General, HE Ong Keng
Yong, who is also the Convenor of the ASEAN-Australia Development Cooperation
Program’s Regional Economic Policy Support Facility.
Dr Hadi Soesastro, Executive Director of the Centre for Strategic and
International Studies, Jakarta, says “The ASEAN economic community
is a major project; its realization will radically change the region’s
economic and political landscape. The challenges are equally great. To
overcome them requires the “brick-by-brick” approach as thoughtfully
proposed in this volume”.
