“…"The disaster relief assistance proposed by the West has become the 'disaster relief dilemma' faced by the Burmese military government" 43 .The stalemate in the "disaster relief situation" made it impossible for the affected areas and victims in Myanmar to receive timely treatment.Amid the chaos and deadlock, ASEAN has taken the lead in breaking down communication and trust barriers in Myanmar that have hindered the flow of international aid workers into the country,it has played an important intermediary role between Myanmar and the international community in its attempt to persuade the military government to accept international humanitarian aid.After the Nargis cyclone disaster, ASEAN changed its usual cautious and hours after the Nargis cyclone hit Myanmar, the ASEAN member states successfully provided relief assistance to the victims of Cyclone Nargis" 44 .In addition, ASEAN also actively acted as a communication bridge between the Burmese military government and international disaster relief personnel when Myanmar had doubts about Western aid.…”

The "ASEAN way" does not have a unified definition; it can be seen as a series of�codes of conduct formulated by ASEAN to adjust intra-regional conflicts and�cooperation. The "ASEAN way" takes the principle of non-interference as its�core, and as a process it is based on consultation and consensus. Its main features are informality, weak institutionalization and non-confrontation. This paper attempts to�use a long-term historical perspective to study the development and changes of the"ASEAN Way". Through a general review of the history of ASEAN, the paper identifies some typical cases that are more relevant to the "ASEAN Way", and then, on the basis of these cases, explores its manifestations, characteristics and functions. The author divides the development process of the "ASEAN Way" into the following four stages. First, 1967-1976�was the formative stage of the "ASEAN Way". Second, 1977-1991�witnessed its further development and application. Third, during�1992-2007,�the ASEAN Way experienced challenges, change and diffusion. Finally, the years�2008-2022�represent the stage in which the "ASEAN way" has continued its constructive role. Overall, the "ASEAN way" has undergone a change from mainly informal meetings to the coexistence of a dual-track operational mechanism, through which its institutionalization and operative modes have continuously improved. However, the principle of non-intervention has always been difficult to undergo major change. This principle is not only the core connotation of the "ASEAN Way", but also the fundamental guarantee for promoting unity within ASEAN. Even in face of certain intra-regional problems, the member countries concern to uphold their sovereignty and autonomyhence, strongly intent upon maintaining this non-interference principle.��
