The aim of this thesis is to put forward the role of the parliamentary dimension in regional integration process by making an analysis on the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA). This analysis, which is to be enriched with theoretical and empirical discussion, contributes to the proper understanding of the impact of the International Parliamentary Institutions (IPIs) on the evolution of the regional integration process. After presenting the strength and weaknesses of AIPA, the thesis argues that AIPA so far has played a limited role in the ASEAN integration process. The factors that paves the way for this limited role are analysed based on a three-dimensional framework. Firstly, structural factors, stemming from the nature of the IPIs as advisory bodies which take non-binding decisions mainly in the form of recommendations. Secondly, systemic factors such as the low level of democratic standards and the weakness of the parliamentary system and tradition in the ASEAN region. Lastly, operational factors in which institutional and operational capacity of AIPA is analysed based on certain criteria such as the ambiguity of relationship with ASEAN as AIPA is not defined as a legislative branch, institutional limitations such as low budget and staff numbers of Secretariat. Finally, the thesis puts forward certain guidelines concerning the steps that should be taken in order to remedy the current status of AIPA and strengthen its role in ASEAN integration process.
