The correct answer is option 3 - It has a keen desire for supernational structures and institutions

Unlike the EU there is little desire in ASEAN for supranational structures and institutions. ASEAN countries have celebrated what has become known as the ‘ASEAN Way’, a form of interaction that is informal, non- confrontationist and cooperative among the ASEAN countries. It has respect for national sovereignty.

ASEAN was established in 1967 by 5 countries of this region: Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillippines, Singapore, and Thailand, by signing The Bangkok Declaration.
