Next year, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its founding. Initially founded as a regional bloc against communism, ASEAN has since matured into a community focused on economic integration and growth, and consensus-building without bringing contentious issues into the public view\u2014the so-called \u201cASEAN Way.\u201d ASEAN is both the world\u2019s seventh-largest market and third-largest labor force, and has been projected to become the fourth-largest economic bloc by 2030. Additionally, the group established the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) last year to create a single market and production base\u2014facilitating even closer economic, political, social, and cultural cooperation.<\/p>\n

Asia Society, in partnership with the Asia Strategy & Leadership Institute, is proud to host a special discussion on the future of ASEAN. Though considered a success story of regional economic integration, what are its plans to achieve its aspiration as a key driver of global growth? Given the vastly changed regional and global landscape since its inception, what are the key challenges facing the group? How does the fate of the European Union and Brexit inform ASEAN and its outlook for the next 50 years?<\/p>\n
