摘要 | It is nearly four decades since the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the European Union (EU) first formalized their relations in 1972. The European Economic Community (or European Community), as the EU was then called, was the first official dialogue partner for ASEAN. Over the last thirty years or so, relations between the two regional groupings have been coloured by both achievements and setbacks. To ASEAN, the EU has been a model of inspiration for regional integration, while the EU, keen to spread the ideology of regionalism worldwide, has been active in providing support to regional integration in Southeast Asia. In order to strengthen the economic relations between the two regions, the EU and ASEAN have agreed to draw up an ASEAN-EU Free Trade Agreement (AEUFTA) sometime in the near future. This study is a thorough examination of ASEAN and the EU's plan to establish an FTA. More specifically, using both qualitative and quantitative methods, it attempts to assess the economic impacts of this proposed free trade arrangement on one of ASEAN's developing member countries, Indonesia. Both Indonesia and the EU improved their bilateral economic relationship through the 2009 signing of a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA), which covers diverse areas of cooperation, such as trade, investment, human rights and climate change. The PCA with Indonesia is the first such agreement to be signed by the EU with an Asian country; it thus reinforces Indonesia's diplomatic standing in the eyes of European policy-makers. Although numerous studies have been conducted to analyze the feasibility of an AEUFTA, little critical research on the subject has been carried out. This study, then, is an initiative to fill that gap. Key findings:
Key recommendations: Based on the above findings, this study argues that an agreement that benefits all parties will take into account the following considerations:
