outcome, the book correctly underlines that the ASEANNuclear Zone Treaty is one of its achievements, since it constitutes an area with a relative narrowness or a negative obligation. The ASEAN Economic Community is predicted to have substantive compliance, as it has a more general category of obligations and a more interest-driven area, namely, measurable co-operation compared to co-operation on human rights (p. 61). The book concludes that the limited budget and human resources are the reasons for ASEAN’s inability to achieve satisfactory compliance (p. 98). This is more or less because ASEAN has also maintained a positive consensus that leads to slow decision-making. When a decision has been made, the agreement must still go through a long process, since it has to be ratified and then implemented at a national level. At the national level, implementation is very slow, due to the decentralized system. It can be said that ASEAN’s ineffectiveness mainly lies within its status as an intergovernmental organization that operates based on the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of AMSs. In this context, ASEAN has built interstate relations on an informal basis and for many years has had an aversion to rules-based and centralized approaches to co-operation. This book provides a clear understanding of ASEAN’s evolution from co-operation to integration, especially regarding the compliance of AMSs within the context of the ASEANCommunity. Due to the scarcity of references on ASEAN, this book can be considered an oasis for those who are interested in or are researching the topic of ASEAN integration. It is written by an expert on the rules and institutions of global governance who is an experienced scholar, this being his fourteenth book. This is the first book to focus exclusively on the compliance of AMSs and it is one of the monographs published within the context of a wide-ranging research project entitled “Integration Through Law: The Role of Law and the Rule of Law in ASEAN Integration” [ITL], undertaken by the Centre for International Law at the National University of Singapore and directed by J.H.H. Weiler, Michael Ewing-Chow, and TanHsien-Li. The book has slightly outdated information, however, as the research was conducted and finished in 2012. An example is the ASEAN Scorecard figure from 2012 (p. 30). This minor defect, however, can present an opportunity for those who are interested in conducting further research on ASEAN’s compliance, especially for the post-2015 ASEAN Community, as ASEAN is progressing into a rules-based organization. The ASEAN Secretariat is currently working on developing an enhanced scorecard that is not composed simply of “yes” or “no” answers regarding compliance with AECmeasures. The new scorecard would be strengthened with outcomes and impact evaluation, with the intent to foster stronger strategies for AEC public outreach. The book suggests creating an independent body that can monitor ASEAN Members’ compliance with authorization to investigate or evaluate and, if necessary, enforce compliance. This approach may be suitable for ASEAN development for ten years to come.

结果,这本书正确地强调了《东盟核武器区条约》是其成就之一,因为它构成了一个相对狭窄或负有义务的领域。预计东盟经济共同体将有实质性遵守,因为它具有更一般的义务类别和更以利益为导向的领域,即与人权合作相比,可衡量的合作(第61页)。该书的结论是,有限的预算和人力资源是东盟无法实现令人满意的合规性的原因(第98页)。这或多或少是因为东盟也保持了积极的共识,导致决策缓慢。做出决定后,该协议仍必须经过漫长的过程,因为必须先在国家一级批准并执行该协议。在国家一级,由于系统分散,实施非常缓慢。可以说,东盟的无效性主要在于其作为一个政府间组织的地位,该组织是在相互尊重主权和不干涉AMS内部事务的原则基础上运作的。在这种情况下,东盟非正式地建立了国家间关系,多年来一直厌恶基于规则和集中化的合作方式。本书清楚地了解了东盟从合作到一体化的演变,尤其是在东盟共同体范围内对​​AMS的遵守情况。由于缺乏有关ASEAN的参考资料,对于那些对ASEAN集成感兴趣或正在研究ASEAN集成的人,这本书可以被视为一个绿洲。它是由一位经验丰富的学者撰写的有关全球治理的规则和机构的专家撰写的,这是他的第十四本书。这是第一本专门针对AMS的合规性的书,并且是在名为“通过法律整合:法治与法治在东盟一体化中的作用”的广泛研究项目中出版的专着之一。 [ITL]由新加坡国立大学国际法中心负责,由JHH Weiler,Michael Ewing-Chow和TanHsien-Li指导。然而,由于该研究是在2012年进行并完成的,因此该书的信息有些过时。例如,2012年的东盟记分卡数据(第30页)。但是,这种轻微缺陷 可以为有兴趣对东盟合规性进行进一步研究的人们(尤其是2015年后的东盟共同体)提供一个机会,因为东盟正在逐步发展为基于规则的组织。东盟秘书处目前正在开发一种增强的计分卡,该计分卡不仅仅包含关于遵守AEC措施的“是”或“否”的答案。新的计分卡将通过结果和影响评估得到加强,目的是为AEC公众宣传制定更强有力的策略。该书建议建立一个独立的机构,以监督东盟成员国的合规性,以进行调查或评估的授权,并在必要时强制执行合规性。这种方法可能适合未来十年的东盟发展。随着东盟正在发展成为一个基于规则的组织。东盟秘书处目前正在开发一种增强的计分卡,该计分卡不仅仅包含关于遵守AEC措施的“是”或“否”的答案。新的计分卡将通过结果和影响评估得到加强,目的是为AEC公众宣传制定更强有力的策略。该书建议建立一个独立的机构,以监督东盟成员国的合规性,以进行调查或评估的授权,并在必要时强制执行合规性。这种方法可能适合未来十年的东盟发展。随着东盟正在发展成为一个基于规则的组织。东盟秘书处目前正在开发一种增强的计分卡,该计分卡不仅仅包含关于遵守AEC措施的“是”或“否”的答案。新的计分卡将通过结果和影响评估得到加强,目的是为AEC公众宣传制定更强有力的策略。该书建议建立一个独立的机构,以监督东盟成员的遵守情况,以进行调查或评估的授权,并在必要时强制遵守。这种方法可能适合未来十年的东盟发展。新的计分卡将通过结果和影响评估得到加强,目的是为AEC公众宣传制定更强有力的策略。该书建议建立一个独立的机构,以监督东盟成员国的合规性,以进行调查或评估的授权,并在必要时强制执行合规性。这种方法可能适合未来十年的东盟发展。新的计分卡将通过结果和影响评估得到加强,目的是为AEC公众宣传制定更强有力的策略。该书建议建立一个独立的机构,以监督东盟成员国的合规性,以进行调查或评估的授权,并在必要时强制执行合规性。这种方法可能适合未来十年的东盟发展。
