“…The EU itself follows a policy of promoting regional integration enterprises elsewhere in the world, with the explicit intention of exporting its own model (Alecu de Flers and Regelsberger 2005;Lenz 2009). This has given rise to a wealth of analyses questioning the applicability of the European model to other regional organisations on both political and economic grounds (Andreosso-O'Callaghan 2008;Moxon-Browne 2008;Song 2010). However, beyond the compatibility of the processes and structures that emanated from European integration, limited attention has been paid so far to how the EU is perceived as a regional integration project (Tanaka 2008).…”

The article examines the external image of the EU among elites in five selected Southeast Asian countries: Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and the Philippines. Southeast Asia offers an interesting area for examining perceptions. Firstly, this region is linked to Europe by a long-standing and prosperous trade relationship. Secondly, the Association of South East Asian Nations has embarked on a process of deepening integration, adopting certain elements of the EU in its design. How desirable is the EU experience as an example of how to deepen integration? And how are EU external policies such as trade, human rights and environment perceived by stakeholders in the region? The article analyses perceptions on the themes of integration and external polices, contrasting them with the scholarly understandings of the EU as a 'benign' actor, notably the notions of 'normative', 'civilian' and 'soft' power.

The article examines the creation of an internal market in Europe and Southeast Asia from the perspective of constitutional economics. It assesses whether the success or failure of a regional integration process depends on the quality of the economic constitution that is chosen by participating countries, that is, on the set of rules and institutions, which bind the actions and transactions of operators within a jurisdiction and towards the operators of other jurisdictions. The article commences with an overview of the analytical instruments of constitutional economics in order to evaluate the success of a regional agreement on the basis of the ‘quality’ of its economic constitution. It then examines internal market creation in the EU and the Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN). The article concludes that it is the commitment to the implementation of a social contract that determines the successful establishment of a single market
