The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)

The article mentions the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), a union of ten Asia-Pacific countries that promotes cooperation among its member states and facilitates economic, political, security, military, educational, and sociocultural integration (See Figure 9.16). Its activities are similar to the European Union (EU).

Although ASEAN does not recognize Myanmar's military government, it has not condemned its authoritarian regime, persecution of ethnic groups, or human rights abuses.
