Celebrating its $50^{th}$ anniversary in 2017, the leaders of ASEAN member sates have adopted a series of declarations and action plans for enhancing its institutional capability and functional cooperation. ASEAN's convening power is expected to underpin its centrality and resilience. Meanwhile, ASEAN's retreat from democracy has increasingly become a hindrance for its further development. This article reviews the process of ASEAN's community building and its external relations. First, it argues that there is increasing concerns over ASEAN's limited capability in dealing with regional issues mainly caused by the deprivation of human rights and the democracy in crisis. Second, this article considers the dynamics of ASEAN's external relations mainly focusing on its relations with China, the United States, and South Korea. The South China Sea issue and China's increasing economic influence in the region have contributed to the complexity of ASEAN-China relations. The ASEAN's responses to the shift in American foreign policy under the Trump administration posits the unity of ASEAN. The New Southern Policy initiated by South Korean President, Moon Jae-in appears to be a new focal point of Korea-ASEAN relations despite considerable challenges, which requires to maintain ASEAN centrality.

글로벌 금융위기 이후 증가하는 보호주의의 재등장은 수출주도형공업화로 성장한 아세안 선발국들에게 부정적인 영향을 미칠 것이다. 아세안에 대한 반덤핑 제고 등 무역구제조치는 증가하고 있으며 통상강국들의 반세계화도 증가하고 있다. 그러나 경제블록으로서 아세안이 공동 대응하는 방법은 별로 없다. 아세안이 통상문제에 공동의 목소리를 낼 정도로 이해가 동일하지도 않고, 통상압력의 대상이 되는 기업들이 다국적기업인 경우가 많기 때문이다. 따라서 아세안은 아세안경제공동체를 심화시키는데 주력하고 RCEP 및 EU와 FTA를 추진하는 등 간접적 대응을 하고 있다.

Korea has been a dialogue partner of ASEAN since 1991, and through the ASEAN plus three try to come true East Asian cooperation. but the level of public awareness of Korea in ASEAN remains very low to compare with China and Japan. Korea and ASEAN have not become the closest of friends in East Asian even though the two are good commercial partners.

ASEAN marking its 50th anniversary in 2017 draws hopes and concerns. There is hope for the full realization of the vision of ASEAN Community since 2015 while there are increasing concerns about the changing internal and external environments. This article reviews the process of ASEAN's community building and its external relations. First, after reviewing institutionalization and functional cooperation in 2016, it argues that there is increasing pressure for the modification of the 'ASEAN Way' mainly due to the recent political changes in some ASEAN member states. Second, this article considers the nature of ASEAN's external relation focusing on continuity rather than change. The tendency of external relations of ASEAN appears to be 'avoiding conflict' and 'status quo' while it concentrates on development cooperation. We argue that such attitude contributes to the unity of ASEAN as it is useful in searching for regional resilience which is a common goal of ASEAN power elites.

아세안은 군사/안보적 사안에서는 일체감을 형성하였다. 그러나 아세안 방위협력의 고차원적 요소는 아세안 국가간의 공중, 해상, 지상에서의 쌍무적인 군사연습이다. 앞으로 아세안은 지속적인 발전과 함께 쌍무적 협조관계가 강화되며, 궁극적으로 3자간 또는 4자간 협력의 성격을 띠게 될 가능성이 높다. 그러나 이는 시간을 요하며, 실무자들과 정책입안자들사이의 의견일치를 요구하는 것이다. 아세안 역외의 협력은 특히 다른 주요국가들과의 협력으로 확대될 가능성이 있다

Since entering into force on June 1st, 2007, the Korea·ASEAN FTA has had great strategic importance as it represents a massive export market for Korea. For more than 10 years since its implementation, the trade in both goods and services have greatly increased, and ASEAN has become the second largest export market for Korea. However, Korea's FTA utilization rate for exports is approximately 46%, which is far lower than the average rate of 72% for all FTAs, despite several revisions. In this study, we investigate the problems causing this low rate of FTA utilization for export by analyzing import clearance disputes faced by the counterpart. Our recommended countermeasures for such disputes are : Since form requirements for C/O (certificate of origin) are important considerations for ASEAN countries, C/O needs to be written accurately. Understanding of the administrative system and regulative procedures of ASEAN countries is also necessary. Accurate HS code of importing countries must be obtained. Korean government authorities should make diplomatic effort to ease the import clearance procedures in counterpart countries and contact customs offices to facilitate communication.

This study analyzed the driving factors of the enlargement process of ASEAN member countries from 1995 to 1999. The main research question is how can it explain the difference in the decision-making timing of countries wishing to join regional cooperation. This study focuses on why the countries that did not join ASEAN in the early years of ASEAN membership, since the mid - 1990s, and why they joined the different periods since the end of the Cold War. To this end, this study analyzed the accession process of Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia. The main argument of the study is that there is a time gap in the accession of ASEAN, but ultimately the regional cooperation is used to secure the legitimacy of maintaining the system. Most of the previous studies on the expansion of regional cooperation have discussed the expansion of regional cooperation in terms of macroeconomic changes such as international system change. However, this study focuses on the domestic political and economic situation of motivating individual member countries to join regional cooperation and this is complemented by a micro approach.

Recently, ASEAN is not only a new production base but also a consumer market for Korea, and interest in the utilization of production networks in each region is increasing. In particular, urbanization in ASEAN countries is progressing at a relatively fast pace. Each country is promoting smart city projects combined with ICT to improve outdated basic infrastructure facilities such as housing, transportation, logistics, crime prevention, and disaster prevention. The purpose of this study is to develop a web-based smart city export HUB platform so that companies with excellent domestic smart city solutions can participate in smart city construction through networks with ASEAN countries. These platforms can secure the demand for smart city construction in ASEAN countries, and through the establishment of the Korea-ASEAN public-private network, smart cities planned in ASEAN countries can be promoted more innovative. In addition, it is expected to be positioned as a Global smart city platform model by applying to real cities through collaboration with excellent domestic companies.

In this paper, Korea's standardization capacity in the ITS field was examined, and the status of participation in ITS standardization and services of ASEAN countries, and the degree of hope for cooperation with Korea was investigated and analyzed. Korea is recognized for its international competency in the field of ITS standardization, and most ASEAN countries, excluding Singapore, are found to have insufficient participation in ITS standardization and service introduction. In addition, most ASEAN countries are strongly hoping for ITS standardization cooperation with Korea, and the preliminary establishment of the ITS system architecture as the basis for ITS standardization was derived as a project of hope for cooperation. In addition, as a service field for introducing standardization, Freight transport was suggested as a priority application service field in order to improve the efficiency of logistics transportation between ASEAN countries.
