Abstract
Relations between the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the European Union (EU, formerly the European Economic Community (EEC)), which date back to 1972, constitute one of the oldest group-to-group relationships. For the ASEAN countries, the primary rationale for the relationship was economic — greater market access for ASEAN’s exports and a price stabilization scheme for ASEAN’s primary commodities. However, for the EEC, while the relationship was economic in form — ASEAN as an important source for raw materials — there was also a hint of political intent — ASEAN as a non-communist area of peace and economic cooperation.
