East Timor’s Road to ASEAN – a T hird-Generation-Member or Perennial O bserver?
Abstract
In 2017, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations celebrated its 50th anniversary. One of the most urgent challenges the organization has to face up is the enlargement of its structures by a group of new members, including East Timor, which has been aspiring to become part of ASEAN community since 2011. The aim of this article is to present the broad scope of bilateral relations between the organization and East Timor with special attention paid to the latter’s path of accession, and an assessment of East Timor’s candidature’s strengths and weaknesses. Another key issue is an attempt to answer a question about the implications of East Timor’s possible participation in future ASEAN.
