Unlike the modern map of Southeast Asia with clearly delineated territorial boundaries and constituent national identities, pre-colonial Southeast Asia was a porous, poly-nuclear world of overlapping borders and cultural linkages (Chaudhuri 1990). Any form of regional community to the realist would only exist in form but not in essence. Except in the Philippines, by the mid-1930s only a small percentage of indigenous children attended government-run schools, and only a fraction of those studied above the primary-school level. Nischalke, Tobias. The consequences of colonialism are "still being felt to this day", Chef de Cabinet Courtenay Rattray told the Special Committee on Decolonization on Friday.

It occurs when one nation subjugates another, conquering its population and exploiting it, often while . Consequently, the ASEAN Community and ASEAN Identity only exist in form but not in substance. Hence, even when it comes to negative effects of the Occupation on nationalist movements, these are less of a change of course, and more of a worsening of a situation already established during colonial rule. Yoshimatsu, Hidetaka. After about 1850, Western forces generally were more invasive, requiring only feeble justification for going on the attack. However, ASEANs regional identity, although not a cultural or geographical given, can be socially constructed. However, norm compliance of member states does not adequately prove that a genuine sense of we-feeling and collective identity exists (Jones and Smith 2007). As decades of imposed isolation occur between the colonial states, the social and economic life of its inhabitants became further and further separated from their regional counterparts even though they were in close geographical proximity. See South China Sea dispute; Malaysia-Singapore dispute over the Pedra Blanca/Pulau Batu Puteh; Malaysia-Indonesia dispute over the Sipadan and Litigan Islands.Jones and Smith (2002) would not have continued to dismiss ASEAN community as an imitation community with no substance.

Imagined community: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. I. Here we may consider the story of Hang Tuah who did not see any contradictions with introducing himself as both a subject-servant of the Sultan of Melaka and an emissary of Raja Keling of Kalinga at the same time (Ahmad 1965). _____________. These challenges would require ASEAN member states to re-orientate their course of actions for closer cooperation in order to act as a counterweight against these external powers attempting to influence events in the region and this ability is invariably tied to the degree of cohesion within ASEAN (Yoshimatsu 2012). The newer generation, however, was more certain in its opposition to colonial rule (or, in Siam, rule by the monarchy), clearer and far more political in its conception of a nation, and unabashedly determined to seize leadership and initiative in their own societies. In the nineteenth century, the contradiction between . Most literature focuses on the security and economic dimension of ASEAN, which despite its importance, is inadequate in the discussion of a formation of a genuine regional community anchored on a collective identity. These inherited colonial legacies would have serious implications on how international relations are conducted by the political elites of Southeast Asia and act as impediments to regional integration efforts. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1981. Still, for two distinct reasons the period does represent a break from the past. A native of the Mandailing community living in Sumatra should be able to identify himself/herself as an ethnic Mandailing, an Indonesian and a contributing ASEAN member all at once.

Any memory of pre-colonial affinities and common past that could have served as the foundation of a regional identity have also been erased. This rebellion threatened to sweep away the entire Confucian establishment of Vietnam, and perhaps would have done so if its leader had not attempted to accomplish too much too quickly.

Although France sought an extensive colonial empire in Asia, its defeat in the Napoleonic Wars left it with just a handful of Asian territories. Malaysia: Strategic Information and Research Development Centre, 2014. Retrieved from https://www.jstor.org .

Cambodia and Thailand continue to lock horns over the ownership of the Preah Vihear temple and the jeeb dance gesture while Malaysia and Singapore continue to see spats over shared cuisines such as the noodle dish laksa and the meat stew bak kut teh (ibid.).

For instance, the inhabitants of the Indonesian archipelago began to see themselves as Dutch subjects, Malaya and Burma as British subjects and Indochinese as French subjects. The colonization of Southeast Asia is another example of how historic political geography can influence an entire region. The great political and social structures of the classical states had begun to decay, and, although the reasons for this disintegration are not altogether clear, the expanded size of the states, the greater complexity of their societies, and the failure of older institutions to cope with change all must have played a part. Deutsch, Karl Wolfgang et al. Even Gia Long, whose conscience and circumstance both demanded that he give special attention to reviving the classical Confucian past, quietly incorporated selected Western and Tay Son ideas in his government. On the positive side ii led to development of industries in Asia and Africa. In worst case scenarios, histories of pre-colonial wars and conflicts between ancient kingdoms are abused to foster a sense of national identity based on antagonistic terms, such as in the case of Thailands history textbook that depicts the neighbouring countries of Burma and Cambodia as enemies of Siam (taught as a precursor to the Kingdom of Thailand) in order to perpetuate a collective perception of external threat in which all Thai has to unite against (Aguilar Jr 2017). Under such an arrangement, it is not surprising that commonalities between states are often only highlighted wherever mutual benefit exists (Jones 2015). From the Editor Myanmars Transition Stalled: From Opening to Coup, The International Court of Justice ruled in favour of Cambodia in 2013 with the temple of Preah Vihear and most of the nearby land belonging to Cambodia.

A long-term affect of imperialism in Southeast Asia is the civil law system in many countries in Southeast Asia today. Colonial rule was to replace the pre-existing indigenous worldviews and cosmology by introducing to an another-wise borderless, multi-faceted and fluid world of Southeast Asia, the divisive language game of national sovereignty, racial categories and exclusive identity. During the colonization period in Asia, Spain trying to find a new route to the Spice Islands, Ferdinand Magellan disembarked upon the Philippines on March 16, 1561. 1) Modern nationalism shook the imperialism in colonies and a sense of identification with pride in the nation-state was evolved which led to the formation of national organizations to destabilize the colonial set up.

Since then, the ASEAN leaders have repeatedly acknowledged the necessity in fostering a sentiment of we feeling and shared belonging that will inform efforts towards regionalism and facilitate greater regional cooperation. Such integration would need to make people feel that they belong to a shared community and that they are all fellow stakeholders with a common destiny (ibid.). Multiple logics of identity-construction was at work where identities, loyalty and sense of belonging were not fixed to a certain locality but was often a result of the interaction between the circumstances of political geography and local patron-client relations (Chaudhuri 1990). A few constructivist interpretations have surfaced which attempt to fill this gap.
