Abstract

Discussion on the ASEAN issue generally becomes the theme among political elite state officials (state-oriented). Each ASEAN member country resolves problems based on its concerns which has never been a problem for ASEAN as an international organization (supranatural organization). The participation of other countries in solving such problems can be seen as interfering in the domestic affairs of the country concerned even though the problem involves several ASEAN member countries. The principle and non-interference and respect to member state sovereignty is a kind characteristic of the ASEAN Way which is believed to be their foundation in solving the problem among member countries. The new development of ASEAN is marked through ASEAN Conference in Bali, which agreed with a Bali Concord II. This conference established the formation of the ASEAN Community with the vision of 2025 becoming a “One Vision, One Identity, One Community” society. Here, we can see a shift in orientation from the state to a people-centered orientation. ASEAN Community has three pillars of the community, namely, ASEAN Security and Defense Community, Economic Community, and ASEAN Social and Cultural Community. This research uses a juridical method with a philosophical approach. Then the analysis is carried out with a qualitative approach and in reading the text using the hermeneutic method. The results showed that the ASEAN Way is in terms of the ideal concept toward the ASEAN Community, but at the practical level problems arise because each country has its interest. The ASEAN Community based on the values of Communitarianism faces obstacles, it is not yet visible that is real to take with the community, even though in the ASEAN Community, ASEAN vision is people-centered.
