The birth of ASEAN Community will not only produce important impact on Asia’s political, economic, and security environment, but also affect the way Asian countries cooperate in the future and the region integrates itself more broadly. A timely and comprehensive grasp and analysis of the impacts and implications of ASEAN Community’s founding will help us better understand the vision of and path to an eventual Asian Community. In particular, this roundtable will focus on the following issues:
1. Elements contributing to the establishment of ASEAN Community and the significance of ASEAN

2. The impacts of ASEAN Community on Asia’s political, economic, and security environment;
3. The implications of ASEAN Community to Asia’s future development;
4. The path forward: From ASEAN Community to Asian Community.
