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.
