The period between 2008 and 2010 was significant to Southeast Asia. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Charter came into force. The idea of one economic, political, and socio-cultural community for the 10 Member-States was ever more becoming a reality. During this period, I was able to witness this community-building process by being at the ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2008 and at the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity in 2009-2010. This collection of essays revisits the burning issues and memorable times in ASEAN and so in Indonesia in 2008-2010. They attempt to shed light on these issues and rekindle the times when nationalistic and regionalistic fervor was at the peak.
