Abstract
Fifty years ago, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines formed ASEAN. This association of primarily non-communist and relatively free-market capitalist countries grouped at a time when the Cold War was in full stride, and its end seemed to validate their confidence. The group expanded in the late 1980s and early 1990s to include Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and eventually also Myanmar (then Burma).
