ASEAN-European Union Relationship: The Study of International Relations on Issues and Trends of Foreign Direct Investment

Abstract

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations ( ASEAN) and the European Union (EU) and relations between the two regions are increasingly attracting the attention of policy-makers, scholars and analysts, and the business community. ASEAN is the most successful regional group­ing in the developing countries. The ASEAN member states have been able to collectively achieve regional peace and security, as well as individually achieve domestic political stability and social cohesion. On the economic front, ASEAN is characterized by the economic dynamism of the member states, and its increasingly important role on the world stage.
