The Institute of Southeast Asian Studies was established as an autonomous orgamzation in 1968. It is a regional research centre for scholars and other specialists concerned with modern Southeast Asia, particularly the multi-faceted problems of stability and security, economic developmen t, and political and social change. The Institute is governed by a twenty-two-member Board of Trustees comprising nominees from the Singapore Government, the National University of Singapore, the various Chambers of Commerce, and professional and civic organizations. A ten-man Executive Committee oversees day-to-day operations; it is chaired by the Director, the Institute's chief academic and administrati ve officer. The ASEAN Economic Research Unit is an integral part of the Institute, coming under the overall supervision of the Director who is also the Chairman of its Managemen t Committee. The Unit was formed in 1979 in response to the need to deepen understandin g of economic change and political developmen ts in ASEAN. The day-to-day operations of the Unit are the responsibility of the Co-ordinator. A Regional Advisory Board, consisting of a senior economist from each of the ASEAN countries, guides the work of the Unit.

INTRODUCTION
This handbook provides basic information on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), its organization and the various co-operation activities. The emphasis is on economic co-operation. In their day-to-day work, political and administrative decision-makers, academics working on ASEAN, as well as all informed citizens of the ASEAN countries regularly require such information. It is available in many forms, but it is mostly scattered in official documents and in the fast expanding current literature on ASEAN. There is, thus, a need to provide the basic information in a handy volume. This handbook attempts to fill that need. The material has been drawn together from many sources, and due care has been taken to be as up-to-date and accurate as possible. Nevertheless, this handbook is not an official ASEAN document and, since ASEAN is a living organization within a continuous process of change, updating will become necessary from time to time. The ASEAN Economic Research Unit of the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies would welcome corrections and suggestions for improvement for the next update of this handbook. All such information should be addressed to the Co-ordinator of the ASEA\1 Economic Research Unit at the address below. The Co-ordinator ASEAN Economic Research Unit Institute of Southeast Asian Studies Heng Mui Keng Terrace Singapore 0511.

The ASEAN Member Countries: Facts and Figures
THE ASEAN MEMBER COUNTRIES
Basic data on the ASEAN member countries are provided in the following synoptic table. A number of readily available sources have been used, but the main compilation of demographic and other statistics is based on L.G. Martin, ed., The Asean Success Story: Social, Economic and Political Dimensions (Honolulu: East-West Center, University of Hawaii Press, 1987). The ASEAN Secretariat also provides comparative statistics in its 1989 publication, ASEAN Selected Statistics 1981-1987.
