520 # # |a This article discusses the development of the ASEAN Way. It argues that the basis of the ASEAN Way is constituted by global norms, such as the principle of non-interference. Yet the Southeast Asian countries have incrementally reconstructed these ideational elements in the Asian context, thereby developing the ASEAN Way, through a process of interaction over decades. This process has been affected by the particular political factors in Southeast Asia: the ASEAN countries' particular concerns over state sovereignty, and their policy priorities in maintaining their domestic stability. The argument described above leads to the conclusion that the recent suggestions for a flexible interpretation of the ASEAN Way are premature. This is because the political factors which affected the development of the ASEAN Way have not changed much.
