negative effects of colonialism in southeast asia

Colonialism is defined as "control by one power over a dependent area or people.". . Although returning Europeans and even some Southeast Asians themselves complained that Japanese fascism had deeply influenced the regions societies, there is not much evidence that this was the case. 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. Karl Ian Cheng Chua, Visiting Professor, Hitotsubashi University, Japan, Singapore ASEAN Vision 2020. Accessed 15 January, 2018. http://asean.org/?static_post=asean-vision-2020. The former colonial masters continued to impose economic, political, cultural and other pressures to control or influence their former colonies. Evidence of these pre-colonial relationships can be observed in the recurring cultural wars in which cultural icons, artefacts, and cuisines are frequently contested and claimed by multiple nation-states. A few works by Hund (2010) and Narine (2004) have posited the persistence of a level of uncertainty among the political elites of ASEAN in their domestic political legitimacy as a key variable in their reluctance to create a unified ASEAN community and collective ASEAN identity. From the 16th century until the 20th century, the major colonizers in Southeast Asia were European powers, including the British, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese. It will also argue that identities can be overlapping and not mutually exclusive and that an individual can be both a citizen of a Southeast Asian state and also sees himself as a fully participatory member of the ASEAN community. Social change was desired only insofar as it might strengthen these activities. 1 (Summer 2007): 148-184. Narine, Shaun. While ASEAN as a language game played by the political elites is not united by any geographical or historical linkages but rather material and political-economic interests, Southeast Asia remains an organic region where cultures, histories, language and ethnic identities overlap and cross-fertilize one another. These cultural contestations exist precisely because genuine cultural linkages and interactions that transcend modern day national boundaries have existed prior to colonialism.

Given the arduous tasks of nation-building that seeks to unite the disparate ethnic and religious communities within the political boundaries are inherited from the colonial rulers, the governments of nascent Southeast Asian states forged national identities based on constructed, distinctive national characteristics and values that supposedly sets them apart from their neighbours (Narine 2004). In a somewhat contradictory manner, states must first have a firm grip on the levers of sovereignty before they can loosen their hold (Narine 2004). . Some scholars and political observers have lauded ASEAN as one of the most successful examples of regionalism and often point out to the absence of any prolonged military conflict or open confrontation between its member states since the end of the Cold War as a testament to ASEANs success. London: Verso, 1983. There was no one process of decolonization. ASEAN shall have, by the year 2020, established a peaceful and stable Southeast Asia where each nation is at peace with itself and where the causes for conflict have been eliminated, through abiding respect for justice and the rule of law and through the strengthening of national and regional resilience.

Unfortunately, the current education systems of ASEAN states are not well-equipped to support such a venture (Koh 2007). Some, like the Tonkin Free School in Vietnam (1907), were closed by the colonial regimes, their staffs and pupils hounded by police; others, like the many so-called wild schools in Indonesia in the 1930s, were much too numerous to do away with altogether, but they were controlled as carefully as possible. With over four hundred different ethno-religious groups, pre-colonial Southeast Asia was a kaleidoscopic world of cultural and linguistic heterogeneity (Andaya and Andaya 2015).

Thus, member states will have to de-parochialize their curriculum and re-tailor them to educate and familiarize the young people of ASEAN about their shared historical-cultural roots.

Historical works have shown that forms of regional linkages had already existed prior to the advent of colonialism (Steinberg 1971).

The dispute between Cambodia and Thailand over the ownership of the Preah Vihear border territory which escalated into an armed conflict in 2008 serves as an illustrative example of the weakness of ASEAN solidarity, not to mention the strength of ASEAN unity (Weatherbee 2012: 3-22).

Tobias Nischalkes (2002) empirical analysis of ASEAN shows that ASEANs member states have exhibited very little mutual identification with each other in their policy behavior from the late 1980s to the late 1990s when confronted with crucial regional security problems.
