Asean in the Global Economy: an Empirical Analysis

  The article presents an analysis of the changing positions of the ASEAN integration association in the global economy based on the processes in various fields that have taken place in ASEAN over the past decade.  The relevance is justified both by the growing importance of the fragmentation of the global economy and integration processes in the world, and by the positive dynamics in ASEAN over the period under study.  The purpose of the article is to identify the growth factors and systematize the challenges faced by ASEAN, which influence the position of the integration association in the global economic system.  The authors conclude that ASEAN has significantly strengthened its position in the global economy, despite the growing turbulence of the global economy and politics, including in Asia in 2012-2024. The authors note that ASEAN is a cohesive and strategically important economic bloc that all global players have to reckon with. In the future, its success will depend on its ability to deepen internal integration, manage geopolitical risks, and develop its own technological potential.
