在1997年东盟危机后不久，东盟没有进一步“深化”一体化进程，而是倾向于扩大成员国，并向其东北亚伙伴日本、中国和韩国开放。由于这些行为体之间的经济贸易流动不断增加，因此有必要呼吁建立协调一致的有效区域结构。特别是中国，在上述三国中，已经走到了前列，其外交战略有关的地区架构。由于这些最近的变化，权力结构和区域体系的性质正在发生变化，东盟正在经历决定性的过渡。考虑到随着东亚共同体的扩大，框架的发展速度很快，东盟需要对该区域有一个新的政治愿景，重新确定其内部力量平衡，并制定一个明确的对外伙伴的方针。关键问题影响到整个地区，如民主赤字，东亚国家之间的巨大发展差距，经济自由化的广泛需求以及新的人类和区域安全政策的需求。欧盟将在解决这些问题上发挥根本性作用，并将受到启发，避免将东南亚视为中国的一个外围地区。
During the immediate aftermath of the 1997 ASEAN crisis, instead of promoting a further “deepening” of the integration process, ASEAN has preferred enlarging its membership and has opened up to its Northeast Asian partners, Japan, China and South Korea. The mounting economic trade flows among those actors necessitates calls for the coherent creation of effective regional structures. China in particular, among the three mentioned countries, has come to the fore with its diplomatic strategies concerning the regional architecture. As results of these recent changes, the structure of power and the nature of the regional system are altering and ASEAN is going through a decisive transition. Taking into consideration the speed of the evolving framework with the enlargement of an East Asian Community, ASEAN would need a new political vision for the region, for the redefinition of its internal balance of power and for the elaboration of a clear approach toward external partners. Crucial problems affect the entire area such as deficit of democracy, wide development gaps among the East Asian countries, the widespread need for economic liberalisation and need for new human and regional security policies. The EU would play a fundamental role in addressing these problems and would be well inspired to avoid considering Southeast Asia as just a mere periphery of China.
