ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY 2015: OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
KENDARI, 28 -29 APRIL 2014

DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT, FACULTY OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS

A. INTRODUCTION

The 12
th
ASEAN Summit held in Cebu City in January 2007 declared the Declaration on
the Acceleration of the Establishment of an ASEAN Community by 2015. In this context,
ASEAN economic ministers have instructed The Office of the ASEAN Secretary to prepare the
ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) Blueprint.
The Blueprint will include the establishment of a Single Market and Production Base,
Regional Competition Policy, Regional equitable economic development, and Full integration
with the global economic.
The mission of this ASEAN Economic Community is to improve the economic activities
and cooperation among ASEAN countries and develop their competitiveness in the global
economic setting. AEC is also expected to play a strategic role in the global economy by
attracting the developed countries to support the development of the AEC. Therefore, the
establishment of AEC will open more opportunity for business, education, employment, and
human resource development of the ASEAN member countries to participate in the regional and
global market. The AEC provides a much greater economic framework for its members to
further explore every opportunity that is available. Indonesia. for example. has a large labor
force that can be of service to other ASEAN countries, like Singapore and Malaysia, whose
capital investments can create employment in their respective countries and with better in
other ASEAN countries.
However, the establishment AEC also presents some threats to ASEAN member
countries, like Indonesia. Admittedly, Indonesia has a huge amount of labor force which is
generally unskilled and is not well prepared to compete with other ASEAN countries. Much
more, unskilled labor is not included in the liberalized item of the ASEAN integration. Therefore,
the Indonesian government urgently needs to respond by uprading the quality and competitive
skills of its human resources. Further more, Indonesia is rich in natural resources but foreign
skilled labor dominate the managerial positions. ASEAN Free Trading Area (AFTA) 2015 might
be a nightmare if the government, businessmen and the community are not well prepared to
manage and control the flooding of skilled labor from other ASEAN countries, such as
Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, etc. to Indonesia.
The AEC is only a year ahead. How prepared are we in terms of planning for an
integration and at the same time being competitive in education, skilled labor, human resources,
economic products, business and management services? In some aspect we say, Yes and
some, we say, No.
Through this seminar, the speakers and presenters will share with us, the why and the
how of member countries in preparing for the opportunities and the answers to the challenges
ahead.. Truly through the AEC, the member countries will be able learn their respective
strengths and weaknesses, and together they will be able to harness their creativity and
innovation to work together for economic prosperity in the region.
The committee envisioned this seminar as a sharing of significant programs and
initiative that will help speed up the awareness of ASEAN member countries, particularly
Indonesia being able to see the opportunities and the threats the AEC 2015.
Good Luck.
Participant Target
Lecturers, students, NGOs, proffesionals, and entrepreneurs.
