Abstract

Discussion on Asean issue generally became the theme among political elite state official (state oriented). The problem of each member country of Asean is usually solved by state concerned, it has never been the matter of Asean as international organization (supranational organization)
The participation of other countries in solving such problems can be seen as interfering in the domestic affairs of the country concerned. even though the problem involves several Asean member countries. The principle and non-interference and respect to member state sovereignty is a kind characteristic of Asean way which is believed as their foundation in solving problems among member countries.
The new development of Asean is marked through Asean conference in Bali, which agreed a Bali Concord II. This conference established the formation of the Asean Community with the vision of 2025 becoming a ^One Vision, One Identity, One Community^ society. Here we can see a shift in orientation from the state to a people-centered orientation. Asean community has 3 pillars of community, namely Asean Security and defense community, Economic community and social culture community.
This research uses a juridical method with an philosophy approach. Then the analysis is carried out with a qualitative approach and in reading the text using the hermeneutic method.
The results showed that the ASEAN way in terms of the ideal concept toward the Asean Community, but at the practical level problems arise because each country has its own interests. The Asean Community based on the values of communitarianism faces obstacles, it is not yet visible that it is real to take sides with the community, even though in the Asean Community, Asean^s vision is people centered.
