In a very real sense, for a region racked by conflict and strife at the time, the creation of ASEAN was a message of unity. However, the message of harmony expressed more than 55 years ago has been replaced by an unhealthy clash of state interests, indecisiveness, and institutional paralysis\u2014particularly in the shadow of a regional crisis."}
