Title: E-Commerce in Asean:
Challenges for A Legal Infrastructure
Abstract: In 2000, the Association of South
East
Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries entered into the e-ASEAN
Framework
Agreement to facilitate the establishment of the ASEAN Information
Infrastructure
to promote electronic (e) commerce in the region. One of the key
elements
in the creation of an e-commerce friendly environment was the
establishment
of a legal infrastructure. This paper examines the implementation of
such
a legal framework with specific emphasis on Malaysia and Singapore the
regional
leaders, the challenges being faced and the road ahead for ASEAN
towards
achieving its goals.
