Provide examples and explicate the reasons by which these actors have failed, or been successful in terms of regional integration. What factors have facilitated, or hampered regional integration in the Asia-Pacific?

Which IR theory or theories best explain the successes/failures of ASEAN as an institution? Has ASEAN facilitated greater integration within the region? If so, how?

Synthesize the readings and content from our course when you answer this question. You can draw on our course readings, but it would also be a good idea to use outside sources that can support your analysis.

Justify, Support, and Cite: Demonstrate your mastery of subject while providing numerous citations, defining terms and concepts, and supporting your argument by scaffolding citations and evidence to support your analysis. Do not assume the reader know what is going on in your head. Be explicit, detailed, and thorough in your analysis.

Outside Sources: While you may, and are expected to use, readings from our course I also expect that you will examine sources not form our course readings. These sources should be a mix of academic (peer-reviewed) sources, but may also include sources from organizations and actors that may be relevant in your exam essay.

For instance, you may use data from the WB or IMF, a web page document from an NGO, or a report from the United Nations or another IGO. Reputable news sources may also be used to frame your issue, but the vast majority of your outside sources should be from academic sources, or come directly from reports, information, and data acquired from the institutions and actors that you are using in your essay.

You should provide a minimum of 3 outside sources in your analysis.

Quality Matters: Do not get fixated on the minimum pages for this assignment. Instead, focus on putting together a quality essay and response that is well cited, grounded in the literature, provides analytical excellence through nuance and depth.
