Southeast Asia is not a mere geographical space with a passive role in the international arena. Instead, the region has continued to be an active agent to engage in the international political discourse that covers the political, economic, social, and cultural dynamics, as well as, security issues. The image of Southeast Asia as an actor that is capable of becoming an agent, is reflected in the political decision taken by the leaders of Southeast Asian countries to define and to present themselves as one single community, which is the ASEAN Community. Ironically, the level of interest and the number of studies conducted by academics regarding Southeast Asia is less developed inside the region.

 ASEAN is now undergoing the process of developing an ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015 which will become a single market and production base. In the process of realizing this AEC, increasing the competitiveness of food, agriculture, and livestock products in the international market, and empowering farmers through the promotion of agricultural cooperatives have become regional priorities. New and cross-sectoral issues such as food security, climate change mitigation, and adaptation for the agriculture and livestock sector, are also part of the priorities. Through harmonization of quality and standards, food safety assurance, and standardization of trade certification, ASEAN agricultural products are expected to be ready to compete in the global market by offering safe, healthy, and quality food. ASEAN has developed Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Good Animal Husbandry Practices (GAHP), Good Hygiene Practices (GHP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and Hazard Analysis Critical Control points (HACCP), standards for production, harvest, and post handling. – agricultural product harvests, limits on maximum pesticide residues, criteria for the accreditation of livestock and livestock products businesses, GMP guidelines for shrimp, and a “code of conduct” for responsible fisheries, to be used as a reference in developing national priorities and a means to support industrial development.
