Over more than 45 years of existence and development, ASEAN has become an integrated region of ten regional countries, based on the principle of consensus in its entire decision making. To reach the target of sustainable development, integration between regional countries will not only stop at the areas of economic, political but also extend to the fields of socio-culture. Based on the internal development needs of member countries, the ASEAN states launched the idea of building an ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) in their ASEAN Vision 2020 - a document considered as a guide for long-term planning approved in 1997. Since then, the ASEAN has made great efforts to construct the legal documents for the ASCC, of which the most comprehensive is the ASCC Blueprint for period 2009-2015 which was approved in 2009. In implementing the Blueprint, ASEAN, with its unique characteristics, has attempted build itself as an institution which pursues centrality and unity, while at the same time respecting national sovereignty and the diversity of the member states. These characteristics are manifested in all the matters related to the ASCC, from its objectives and characteristics, to design the ASCC main elements, as well as mechanism of implementation and review of the ASCC Blueprint period 2009-2015.
