Even a recent editorial in Jakarta Post has expressed scepticism about Indonesia's ability to handle the problem of haze: 'this recurrence of the 1997 environmental disaster sends out a clear signal that much more serious attention must be given to the preservation of our environment . . . while logging companies, plantation owners and others must be held responsible for the proper management of our environmental resources the main responsibility rests with the government. Foreign companies recently have threatened to boycott Indonesian palm oil product, and Brunei had threatened to sue Indonesia for the haze problem, and other fellow members of ASEAN are complaining so much that it is not too far-fetched to imagine it could erode ASEAN's cherished principle of non-interference.'

Severino's warning followed a rise in bilateral disputes between ASEAN members over issues of sovereignty, human rights, pollution and the pace of economic integration. It came at a time when Philippines officials said in early July 1999 that they would reject calls by ASEAN to abolish tariffs on 60 per cent of the country's imports by 2000 as part of the group's commitment to a free trade area, a move that some saw as a retreat from regionalism amid mounting pressure to protect domestic markets.

ASEAN's new challenges
-
Spring
-
Leszek Buszynski has identified 'new regionalism, a recognition of the inadequacy not only of the sovereign state but of past efforts at regionalism, incapable of satisfying the enhanced political and economic demands of the past-Cold War era', as one of the future challenges ASEAN faces. See his 'ASEAN's new challenges', Pacific Affairs, Spring 1997.

Reasons for Asian economic crisis start to emerge
-
29 March-4 April
-
One commentator has reviewed dozens of academic papers, official reports and a handful of books and suggested that no coherent and clear explanation exists of what went wrong. However, policy-makers and academics have made some progress on three crucial points. While much disagreement remains on these issues, that disagreement is much less than prevailed a year ago. First, commercial bankers are the most dangerous animal in the financial jungle because they always follow the herd. Second, the inflow of foreign capital - especially short-term loans from commercial banks - should be monitored closely and, if necessary, regulated or limited by taxes or other barriers. Third, over-investment is just as bad as over-consumption. See G. Pierre Goad, 'Reasons for Asian economic crisis start to emerge', Asian Wall Street Journal, Weekly Edition, 29 March-4 April 1999.

Asian defying old rules: After financial crisis middle class speaks out
-
11 August
-
When Sumallee Limpaovart's six-year-old daughter was rejected by an exclusive government school in Bangkok this year, she did something that would have been unthinkable only a few years ago. She challenged the decision, using a freedom-of-information law to demand the test score of the other children. In the end she found what she had suspected. Fully one-third of the students admitted had failed the entrance exam: they got in because of their families' status or gifts to the school. See Seth Mydans, 'Asian defying old rules: after financial crisis middle class speaks out', International Herald Tribune, 11 August 1999.
