Indonesia has had a very good run over the past decade. But, we will face a massive economic machine in this year, The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015. As we approach the AEC 2015 , it’s worrying to see so litle being discussed about the opening up of trade, investment, and people flows within Assosiaciation of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). With litle debate over cost and benefits, there is rising concern that time is running out on how best to take advantage of AEC’s opportunities and minimize it’s threats. Free trade commitments have become important, not only because Indonesia wants to but also because Indonesia is a part of ASEAN. Free trade is not only used to appease partner countries, it’s also a tool for Indonesia to expand it’s market abroad. Everyone talking about our economic and forget something important as a obligation of democratic states. On democratization, we have to guarantee and protect the human rights, especially the rights of people with dissabilities in AEC 2015.
