ABSTRACT

The world has been facing two crises since the beginning of 2020. Those are health crises and economic crises. Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) significantly impacts people since the virus has infected society globally. Consequently, states must close their borders and lay off many sectors to suppress the extent of contagion. It has an impact on the reduction of economic activities in every state. ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) is one of the regions affected by COVID-19. ASEAN's economy has declined up to 3% compared to 2019. This research discusses ASEAN's effort in recovering health and economic crises. The author analyzes using regionalism from a Neoliberal Institutionalist perspective. This research results in three main ASEAN strategies in overcoming crises: the international assistance approach, regional arrangements, and the economic stimulus package.
