6.0) ASEAN Multiculturalism vs. European Union (EU) and the United States
6.1) The European Union rose out of the destruction of WW II in order to prevent another great European Conflict. Cultural diversity is not as great in the EU as in SE Asia. A common European cultural identity existed before the creation of the EU. Exclusion of Turkey from the EU is largely on cultural rather than economic grounds. Issues of cultural industry and cultural tourism are important but not as important as in ASEAN.
6.2) Multiculturalism in the United States arose out of the Civil Right Movement of the 1960’s. Almost no emphasis on cultural industry and cultural tourism. Minority culture is diffused via education for conflict resolution not economic reasons.
6.3) ASEAN puts a greater emphasis on cultural industry and cultural tourism than the EU and the United States.
