Answer to Question 1

Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand formed the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 1967. Brunei joined in 1984, Vietnam in 1995, Laos and Myanmar in 1997, and Cambodia in 1998. Together, the 10 ASEAN countries comprise a market of about 560 million consumers and a GDP of nearly 1.1 trillion. The three main objectives of the alliance are to 1. promote economic, cultural, and social development in the region; 2. safeguard the region's economic and political stability; and 3. serve as a forum in which differences can be resolved fairly and peacefully.
Companies involved in Asia's developing economies are likely to be doing business with an ASEAN member. This is a more likely prospect as China, Japan, and South Korea accelerate their efforts to join ASEAN. China's admission would allow the club to bridge the gap between less advanced and more advanced economies.
