"This interim report on legal barriers to doing business in ASEAN coincides with the 50th Anniversary of ASEA's founding and the first year of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Despite occasional misgivings about the "ASEAN Way", ASEAN economic integration has come a very long way. The number of member States has grown over the 50 years since ASEAN's founding, and the joint efforts among these States driving economic growth and integration in the region have been notable. Laws have changed, new institutions and processes have sprung up. Guided by blueprints and actions, ASEAN is moving increasingly towards being a rules-based economics group. As global uncertainties continue to grow, ASEAN has an important role in unlocking more economic opportunities for its businesses and its citizens. One area where this objective can be advanced is through addressing legal barriers which contribute to business costs in ASEAN. This sty, due to be fully completed in the second quarter of 2018, examines business concerns through a legal lens, to identify key legal barriers to trade and investment in ASEAN." -- Executive summary.

ASEAN has a goal to create an economic community by 2015. To achieve the goal, connectivity among the member states needs to be given due importance. In 2010, ASEAN adopted the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity (MPAC), which looked at physical, institutional and people-to-people connectivity. It pinned down fifteen priority projects which can potentially transform the ASEAN region, providing the conditions for a single market and production base. But MPAC is an expensive initiative, and funding remains a major challenge. The private sector needs to be actively involved as a number of infrastructure projects identified in the MPAC are lacking substantial investment. This book looks at the current state of ASEAN's physical connectivity and challenges in building better infrastructure. It contains a collection of papers that discuss specific issues pertaining to each kind of physical connectivity - transportation infrastructure, telecom connectivity, ICT and energy infrastructure. The book concludes with the steps needed to be taken for implementation of the various plans, and policy recommendations.

Twenty years ago, India launched its “Look East” policy. For most of those 20 years, Myanmar’s isolation, mistrust between India and its neighbors, and poor infrastructure connectivity hindered the development of links between South and Southeast Asia. With Myanmar’s tentative opening and improved relations between India and Bangladesh, an opportunity exists for India to boost trade and security ties with mainland and maritime Southeast Asia. And the United States, during President Barack Obama’s second term, is committed to rebalancing toward Asia, with India playing a pivotal role. With these facts in mind, CSIS presents key recommendations in the areas of diplomacy and security, infrastructure and energy, and enhancing people-to-people collaboration among India, ASEAN, and the United States.
