Europe controlled most of Southeast Asia by the 1890s. As national interests and identities predominate in ASEAN, it is an arduous task for the generation of the kind of we-feeling that is required for the building of a regional community as articulated in the ASEAN Vision 2020.

It prevents Southeast Asians from subscribing to multiple identities of being both a citizen of their nation and a member of the ASEAN Community. This economic growth has had both positive and negative effects. The formation of a collective identity and interest has to be shaped by intensive interaction at the ground level. For instance, the Indonesians, Malaysians and Singaporeans have made repeated attempts to claim ownership over the shared heritage of the textile art of batik, shadow puppet theatre termed as the wayang kulit and traditional musical instruments such as the gamelan and angklung (Chong 2012). The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is the main regional organization in Southeast Asia. Colonialism did have its negative effects but it opened up the countries status in the world to some extent, during Spanish colonial times, the British invasion and the two-year occupation This explains why ASEAN leaders have signed communiqu and declarations one after another but has yet to have undertaken any genuine, concerted effort in moving towards the goal of creating a collective ASEAN identity. First, since some countries in Southeast Asia are still experiencing state-building challenges, there is a need for a clear definition and a modicum of consensus on what constitutes neo-colonialism. Mayer, Franz C. and Jan Palmowski. As the European colonizers were anxious to safeguard their economic interest and avoid any possible territorial conflicts with their counterparts, they saw a need to demarcate well-defined political boundaries to minimize any ambiguity over the extent of their rule. It will follow McMillan and Chaviss definition of a sense of community as a feeling that members have of belonging, a feeling that members matter to one another and to the group, and a shared faith that members needs will be met through their commitment to be together and Henri Tajfels definition of identity as part of an individuals self-concept which derives from his knowledge of his membership in a social group (or groups) together with the value and emotional significance attached to that membership (McMillan and Chavis 1986; Tajfel 1981). Impacts. However, it is not the intention of this article to argue for the utility and benefits for the creation of a shared ASEAN Community and collective ASEAN identity. Thus, member states will have to de-parochialize their curriculum and re-tailor them to educate and familiarize the young people of ASEAN about their shared historical-cultural roots. From its roots as an inward-looking multilateral regional arrangement, ASEAN has since expanded its geographical scope to engage with external powers in the Asia Pacific region through the creation of modalities such as the ASEAN Regional Forum in 1994, ASEAN Plus Three (China, Japan and Republic of Korea) in 1997 and East Asia Summit in 2005 (Prasetyono 2007: 109-116). Tajfel, Henri. The elites response to these circumstances generally has been interpreted as a kind of cultural introversion and avoidance of reality, a judgment that probably is too harsh. Colonial power's rule upon Southeast Asia had an impact on the rise of nationalist movements because people tried to fight for their independence. Koi Kye Lee. Regional integration is largely seen as a mean to allow its respective member states to obtain greater political and economic clout through resources pooling wherever mutual, practical benefit exists so as to secure their national sovereignty (Kim 2011). However, Acharyas works have thus far only focused on elite-level socialization in examining the prospects for community building and have yet to discuss the role and interaction of the general populace. Such a worldview was to undergo a massive transformation during colonial rule. Bangkok in the late 1920s surpassed even British Singapore as a centre of such modern amenities as electric lighting and medical facilities, and the state itself had achieved an enviable degree of political and economic viability among its colonial neighbours. The exception was Thailand, but even here Western ideas about pathways to "modernization" exerted a strong influence. Existing ASEAN professional bodies and civil societies whose mode of interactions have become regular and organic may be helpful in organizing and facilitating these interactions.

The French colonisation of Vietnam began in earnest in the 1880s and lasted six decades. Lubis, Abdur-Razzaq. In worst case scenarios, histories of pre-colonial wars and conflicts between ancient kingdoms are abused to foster a sense of national identity based on antagonistic terms, such as in the case of Thailands history textbook that depicts the neighbouring countries of Burma and Cambodia as enemies of Siam (taught as a precursor to the Kingdom of Thailand) in order to perpetuate a collective perception of external threat in which all Thai has to unite against (Aguilar Jr 2017). Thus, their networking should be promoted and governments should leverage on their experiences to develop social spaces that promote greater people-to-people interaction and cultural exchanges.

For instance, Acharyas work on normative regionalism argues that a collective identity has been successfully constructed among the political elites of Southeast Asian states through intense interaction and socialization (Acharya 2002). He proposed to view ASEAN as a pluralistic security community (PSC) that has allowed for the management of conflict in the region without the use of force through a process of elite socialization of shared ASEAN norms (Acharya 2005).
