Interregional Relations in Times of Crisis: EU-ASEAN Interregionalism during the COVID-19 Global Pandemic Period

Summary/Abstract: The struggle against COVID-19 (coronavirus disease), which turned into a global health crisis, has been conducted by actors at various levels. During the pandemic, regional organizations have attempted to enhance the ability of their regions to fight COVID-19, which has crossed borders and brought about adverse consequences for societies. Regional organizations have also sought to pursue coordinated policies against the virus and provide support for reducing the social effects of the pandemic through interregional cooperation. In this context, this study examines the interregional relationship process between the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) during the COVID-19 global pandemic period. The EU and ASEAN, significant regional organizations in international relations, contribute to establishing peace and stability in their respective regions. Moreover, the EU-ASEAN interregional dialogue is among the oldest interregional dialogues in international relations. Therefore, the EU-ASEAN interregionalism during the COVID-19 global pandemic period provides a substantial case for evaluating the functions of interregional relations in times of crisis. This study seeks an answer to the question of which dimensions of EU-ASEAN interregionalism have appeared during the pandemic period within the scope and functions of interregional relations specified in the literature.
