[English Abstract] :
In its 40 years history ASEAN has seen its ups and downs. As of now, ASEAN
represents one of the most dynamic economic regions. Cooperation across the region has intensified and membership expanded. However, economic progress was accompanied by massive environmental deterioration. Although environmental protection has already been integrated in ASEAN declarations and agreements in the late 1970s and the concept of sustainable development has entered ASEAN political rhetoric more recently, environmental records across the ASEAN region are poor. Unlike other conglomerations of states – such as the EU – ASEAN could not meet the expectations and failed to develop into a regional environmental pace setter. Among the many environmental issues in the region, the rapid growth of waste from electronic and electrical equipment (e-waste) has increasingly drawn
international attention. While on the one hand ASEAN is a large producer of electrical and electronic equipment, on the other hand the region is heavily affected by the improper dismantling, recycling and disposal of e-waste. ASEAN failed tocome up with a common response whereas individual member states pushed ahead with own legislation in an attempt to address the issue. This study sets out to assess the determining factors that disabled ASEAN to agree on a common policy response in the case of e-waste. Based on the assumption that states act according to the expected gains, the study applies a game theoretical approach to analyze the developments. Furthermore, the work seeks to draw conclusions from the case for future environmental policy formation in the region.
