Capitol Hill Forum: The Future of US-ASEAN Relations

The ASEAN Economic Community is slated to be achieved by 2015. This integration effort in Southeast Asia is opening a wealth of opportunities for the region and the international community. As such, the region is seeing increasing prominence and recognition as a relevant economic player. What are the implications for the United States?
