Inauguration of the AEC and Its Impacts on Relation between Singapore and Indonesia(5)

Comparative Research on Relationship of Singapore and Indonesia in the AEC Aspect

However, country-level reports are not easily seen as most studies have been focused on the investigation and prediction of the region's general economic situation in the wake of the AEC. In particular, comparative analysis centered on the relationship among the ASEAN members has rarely been made. My quest starts at this point. 

In this paper, at first, I will discuss the perception and the response of two distinguishing economies in the region, Singapore and Indonesia to the formation of the AEC. Singapore, the most advanced economy and Indonesia, the biggest economy has undoubtedly led the ASEAN so far.
