Summary/Abstract: This article begins with a brief review of ASEAN’s experience with regionalism over the past 40 years.

The subsequent section looks at the nature of the emerging regionalism in the wider East Asian (and Asia Pacific) region. ASEAN’s role in the wider region will be discussed subsequently before this article concludes with some notes on ASEAN’s role and challenges in promoting an East Asian Community.
