This paper examines the phase of Intra-ASEAN Economic Cooperation in the 1990's, in particular the pre-Asian-Economic Crisis in 1997. The "ASEAN's strategy for Collective FDI-dependent and Export-oriented Industrialization (ASEAN's strategy for CFEI)" was evaluated. Next we examined whether ASEAN could be used as an integration model for developing countries. Finally, this paper pointed out that ASEAN stood at a crossroads in the 1990's. This was because the political and economic, and historical structure involving ASEAN underwent a drastic change since 1991, and the framework of ASEAN had changed drastically.
