Abstract

ASEAN, birkaç Güneydoğu Asya ülkesi tarafından kurulmuş bir ekonomik organizasyondur. Günümüzde Asya, uluslararası ilişkilerdeki güç mücadeleleri açısından önemini giderek artırmıştır. Ekonomik dinamizmi, nüfusu ve üretim gücü sayesinde birçok ülke bölgeye yönelik faaliyetlerini artırmıştır. Bölgenin önemli oyuncularından oluşan ASEAN, son yıllarda ön plana çıkmıştır. Başta Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Çin olmak üzere birçok ülke, ASEAN realitesine göre her ASEAN üyesi ülkede daha fazla etki kazanmak için yeni stratejiler izlemektedir. Bu nedenle, ASEAN'ın hedeflerini anlamak, siyasi yapısını ve karar alma mekanizmalarını öğrenmek, gelecekteki yönetişim için hayati bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu makalenin amacı, ASEAN'ın doğasını ve organizasyonel yapısını, stratejilerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Araştırmanın yöntemi olarak PESTEL analizi uygulanmıştır.

STRATEGIC ANALYSIS OF ASEAN ORGANIZATION

Abstract

ASEAN is an economic organization established by several Southeastern Asia countries. Today, Asia has gradually increased its importance regarding power struggles in international relations. Thanks to its economic dynamism, population, and production power, many countries have boosted their activities towards the region. ASEAN, which is constituted of the region's major players, has risen to prominence in recent years. Many countries, primarily the United States and China, pursue new strategies to gain more influence in each ASEAN member country by ASEAN reality. For this reason, understanding ASEAN's goals and learning about its political structure and decision-making mechanisms play a vital role in future governance. The purpose of this essay is to use PESTEL analysis to understand the nature of ASEAN better.
