Nevertheless, colonialism too impacted positively on the economies and social systems. Boulder: Westview Press, 1995. Little wonder that before long Southeast Asians began to observe that, despite Asia for the Asians propaganda, the new and old colonial rulers had more in common with each other than either had with the indigenous peoples. Cambodia and Thailand continue to lock horns over the ownership of the Preah Vihear temple and the jeeb dance gesture while Malaysia and Singapore continue to see spats over shared cuisines such as the noodle dish laksa and the meat stew bak kut teh (ibid.). While there is no doubt that national belonging will remain far more salient to the Southeast Asians sense of self as they will find it difficult to escape from the well-embedded consciousness of the nation-states, they can however become aware of the possibilities of overlapping identities that directs them to think of themselves not only a citizen of their respective nation-states but also an ASEAN citizen who sees the entire Southeast Asia region as a common home. As existing literature have already been inundated by realist interpretations that mainly focus on the political and economic dimensions of ASEANs integration, this article will venture to shift away from this direction and take a constructivist approach that emphasizes on the development of a collective identity that is based on a sentiment of we-feeling as an essential component in the building of a resilient ASEAN community. It was also the case that, both because the war was going against them and because the response to other approaches was unenthusiastic, the Japanese were compelled before long to utilize local nationalism in their mobilization campaigns, again something quite impossible under European rule.

Looking at Malaysia and Singapore as a case study will show how two states have managed to dampen violence and achieve a degree of cohesion despite the legacies of colonialism, Japanese occupation, and decolonization. These statements serve as an indicator that ASEAN is not united by any geographical or historical linkages but rather material and political-economic interests, whereas Southeast Asia remains a region where cultures, histories, language and ethnic identities overlap and cross-fertilize one another. However, the responses from the regions elite were the most disconcerting. An example of this is how Singapores national history is often re-told with the founding of modern Singapore in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles as the starting point. Jones, David Martin & Michael L. R. Smith. One example is how Singapores national identity is attached to the idea of exceptionalism that portrays the country as an economically advanced, meritocratic, multi-ethnic state as opposed to the constitutive other of economically backward, corrupted, communal states in the region. The authors discuss the negative effect of colonialism in Southeast Asia. Do norms and identity matter? In addition, his evidence for the existence of a collective identity remains focused on functional aspects, namely, member states adherence to ASEAN norms such as the principle of non-interference and absolute respect for national sovereignty (Acharya 2005).

Beyond China, European imperialism in Asia remained strong. Thus, as aptly described by Jones and Smith, ASEAN remains largely an imitation community that are rhetorical shells and provides form but no substance to genuine regional integration (Jones and Smith 2002). Farish A. Noor notes that although the history textbooks of Indonesia do make mention of the how transnational contact between states in the region aided the formative development of Indonesia, there is scant detail given on the cultural and historical linkages between the proto-Indonesian kingdoms and their Southeast Asian counterparts during the pre-colonial era.
