At the time of the signing of the ASEAN, division and conflict had emerged in all forms of the southeast Asian region and this situation devastating effects on regional inter-state relations. The fact that many of the states in the region had newly gained their independence, the problems and disputes left by the boundaries drawn arbitrarily by the colonial powers were the major obstacles to the regionalism of Southeast Asia.
