This paper examines the consequences of the 1997-1999 Asian crisis for ASEAN's regional cooperation and institutionalization. It relies on a conceptual framework that analyzes the links between political-economy and security, tracing regional relations to the makeup and grand strategies of domestic coalitions forming in response to internationalization. Then the author discusses presumed effects of political changes for regional interactions in ASEAN. The author finally states that distributional issues along rural-urban, class, sectoral, regional and ethnic-religious lines will continue to alter coalitional forms throughout ASEAN.
