Examples are aplenty such as in the case of the sacking of the Thai embassy in Cambodia in 2003 or the oft-repeated verbal attacks made by Malaysia politicians on Singapore.

As ASEAN leaders recognize that geographical proximity and the ASEAN Way alone is insufficient to drive the level of regional integration required in the new era, they sought to re-define the region through the creation of an ASEAN Community with the aim of building the existing loose association of regional countries into a much closer ASEAN community of nations (Moorthy and Benny 2013). Except in Java and much of the Philippines, the expansion of Western colonial rule in most of Southeast Asia was a phenomenon only of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. Under such a shared, borderless geographical space, different ethnic groups and polities intersected and commingled to create extensive, regularized patterns of interactions. ASEAN itself was formed out of a common fear of being dragged into the Cold War conflict and not an attempt at the revival of pre-colonial cultural linkages (Vatikiotis 1999). David M.

Therefore, the sense of a common regional identity that has been argued to exist at the elite level by Acharya has to be broadened to include the ordinary people of ASEAN. As a result of these divisive colonial policies, ethnic identities and differences were artificially accentuated which created an outlook of dichotomized, binary identities anchored by an othering mindset of Native vs. Aliens and Race vs. Race (Hirschman 1995). An otherwise borderless Southeast Asia was thus separated into clearly delineated homogenous political entities which not only masked the numerous internal differences and diversity that runs deep beneath its surface but also cut off most of the pre-colonial cultural and social linkages that had existed prior between communities that now belonged to their respective colonies, slowly erasing them from the memory of its inhabitants (Kingsbury 2011). In Search of an ASEAN Identity. The Work of the 2010/2011 API Fellows, 171-179. 3 (2004): 423-450. Association of Southeast Asian Nation.

Pre-colonial historical, cultural and social linkages that had existed prior to colonial rule were eventually replaced by a neater range of political allegiance in Southeast Asia. By the end of the 19th century, a number of imperial colonies was established which placed Southeast Asia under the firm control of the European powers.

In addition, despite the fact that the imperative to create a shared sense of ASEAN belonging and we-feeling comes from the political elites and bureaucrats of ASEAN themselves, it may remain a challenge to expect such a mental leap to be taken and led by them due to the nature of their role, interest and responsibilities.

It will follow McMillan and Chaviss definition of a sense of community as a feeling that members have of belonging, a feeling that members matter to one another and to the group, and a shared faith that members needs will be met through their commitment to be together and Henri Tajfels definition of identity as part of an individuals self-concept which derives from his knowledge of his membership in a social group (or groups) together with the value and emotional significance attached to that membership (McMillan and Chavis 1986; Tajfel 1981).
